Ugh....  What the heck is wrong with some people???  Forget about the GWCs... What about the "models" out there who are just there to scope out MM to go into Yahoo IM and then start IM'ing others to pick them up???

Are others running into this and how do you deal with it?  I simply told the last idiot that that's not what I'm here for and to take care.

Ugh,

Ummmm.... How about not posting your personal screennames in a public profile.

That just might work.

You can normally tell when someone is about business as opposed to bullshit.
If you accept bullshit, then you accept whatever comes your way when you continue to engage in the conversation.

Post your IM and other contact info as text on a blank image and upload it as "18+".

Then, all the losers without MM accounts can't see it, and all the losers *with* accounts can be reported to the mods.

It's almost as irritating as people who cry and whine about what they feel is "violent" content of some images on here!  Geez.

It's all part of it when you post contact information. I once even had a hooker contact me, figuring if I was willing to shoot nudes, that I would be willing to buy sex. Go figure. Like I said though, in doing business, you have to sift through the emails.

Oh shut it.  men try to pick up women on the street, work , in cars, nightclubs, dancing, driving, walking, running, in the mall, in every corner of the world.

the word "no" is still in your vocab, aint it.

You think anyone in the whole of America ever  slept  dated married someone on the same job ?    geez!

people try to sell me shit everyday. Models try to get pics for free every day.


Just say NO still works.

There are a lot of people here on MM who should be contacting hookers instead of "models."

that's what I ended up doing...

then i had this male model contact me via MM and said he wanted to work with me, blah blah blah- but he wanted to send me an email with attachments to show me ideas (which plenty of people do, including myself)...so I gave him my email...

then I got a bunch of emails from him...

"hey- so, you interested in hooking up?"

vomit.
