It's an expression of their mindset and why they really have a camera or call themselves male models.

Bingo.   Now let's return to our regularly scheduled program and work on our craft.

Yeah......
But when half the ads I see on this site (you know the big paid ones at the top of the page)
seem to be for sites like "BigSugarDaddys.com" ........ Well it seems that the advertisers see the site as a bunch of pervs taking photos of a bunch of chick who will sell themselves.

I'm not saying that's what MM is about, but if that's the perception "out there on the web" then it's no surprise that the site has attracted more than it's fair share of Pigs trolling about the site leaving sexually obnoxious comments.

I have been browsing through some model ports looking to hire a model for an upcoming shoot. I have seen so many wonderful images and then started to read some of the tags.

Is it up to the models to delete comments like these...do they like these comments or can the forum mods do anything about them. What ever happened about acting professional and being at least a bit more responsible??  Arghhhhhhh...........maybe those that leave comments like those above still expect to have sex with every model they work with. Sad state of affairs.

They are.

From what I've observed, many of the models are twentysomethings who reflect the values of hip hop culture and aren't exactly the classiest people around (not to mention, not too bright), so it stands to reason that they'd consider the lewd comments to be compliments.

I try not to walk around acting like a giant anus most of the time, but I absolutely despise what is commonly referred to as "hip-hop culture" because there is NO culture involved in that lifestyle. Crude, brash, overbearing, boastful, violent, illiterate, ignorant, self-destructive and many other terms come to mind when I hear "hip-hop culture."

There are models (very good ones) and photographers (very good ones) who like the Hustler Mag. style and that inviets comments like "nice boobs"!
On the other hand, some of us (models and photographers) really want a classier look, and by doing so, invite complements that are classy! 
MM has it all !

Good point, along the lines of there is someone for everyone.

I don't enjoy, or want, tags like those -- but I'm happy to see them left up by others:  it serves as a warning that the photographer who left the comment is probably not somebody I want to work with, in case I'm ever contacted by him....

Some people are so desperate for comments on their pictures, they'll leave anything on there.

Okay, I'm going to be contrary and suggest an alternative perspective.  The times I have come across comments like that, they've generally been on extremely sexually provocative imagery - imagery that is clearly designed to arouse.  If that is the intent of the photo, is it so bad that the viewer responds to let the model know that the photo is effective in its intention?

I can't say it bothers me especially when women respond to the male nudes that I shoot that way.  (Though they tend to do so more in private than in public.)

thank you for some common sense. If you ass is hanging out and over, you are going to get like comments.

if the OP wants everone to be like him, then dream on.
Surprise, we have different styles. If a model gets a "comment"  ERASE IT.

wah wah wah wah.....p%ssies. thats my comment.

They are just GWC'S.  No class and damn little talent.  To bad they are allowed to be on this site. bs

Agreed.  And if the models are offended they can easily report the comments or delete them.

Yep.. and another reason I PREFER to shoot with models over the age of 35!

MM is a "dating or adult" website...

I hear you on that one!  I'm pretty burnt out on the twentysomethings.  I did a nude shoot last week with a 48 year old flight attendant.  The class, character, poise, and intelligence she demonstrated were a very welcome change of pace.

Amen!  Amen!  Amen!  I couldn't have said it better myself.  Perhaps the evangelicals have a point when they say that we're living in the last days.  We're definitely witnessing the decline of a civilization.
