I hear 2 people saying there's a lot they don't agree with but when I ask... no one says anything... what don't you agree with? model release forms? escorts? mm not being a dating service? what speak up with specifics if you are going to make negative comments.

First of all that was a fantastic post. Helpful and funny. Second of all, because that singular post is long, doesn't mean that you have any more time on your hands than somebody who types several little posts all day long... it only means that you took your time with the one. If it took you 15 or 20 minutes to type out the one post and someone else posts constantly for an hour, who has more time on their hands? In our fast-food culture, people who take thier time are told they have too much time on their hands. The notion is absurd. Third, there's not a grouping of words conceived that could please everyone. People could find something wrong with the sincerest, most well-intentioned statements. It's ridiculous... ...but not nearly as ridiculous as the idea that masturbation isn't for everyone!! Stop perpetuating such lies!

Mar 13 06 11:19 am Link Photography is not a dating activity? Oh. Sorry. Didn't get the memo. Um, that might explain my 100% rate of striking out. Mar 13 06 11:25 am Link LOL...alot of people needed that reality check! Good Job! Especially the masterbation part, that will go down in forum history! LOL!  Mar 13 06 11:26 am Link Vance wrote: .

There can be sleazy photographers at shoots that are or seem be pro, too. Bad dudes have been known to go to elaborate lengths to gain a model's confidence before striking. Even good references is no guarantee. Men have been known to act OK with all models except the one they attack. I don't like escorts at my shoots, either. And frankly, all things equal, I'll choose the model without an escort every time. But the "pro-ness" of the shoot is no guarantee of safety. Models, use your judgment! Fabio, remember, I'm agreeing with everything else. :-) Mar 13 06 12:40 pm Link hmmm I'm not sure some of the nay sayers here were joking. In any case for those that had an issue with my little joke in the middle of the post was to see if you the reader had been reading through all of it or getting a knee jerk reaction to the first few lines. Granted this post was my opinion as to what an unwritten rule is. Though, from what I've seen many of you agree with most of what I have said. Some question my "point" or my intentions with this post. well.. like any and all other forums it's to communicate my thoughts.. and thats just it. plain and simple. and as someone stated you can't please everyone all of the time. but I am glad to see that many people agree. This thread has spawed serious responses and silly ones which is what I had hoped for. Mar 13 06 05:00 pm Link Why do people call it common sense when it's not common? No two people know the same two "common sense" ideals. I move we call it good sense from now on. Hmmm. . .I think I like that! Oh, and masterbation = instant gratification/peace of mind/safety thank you!
