Informal survey result - best route to nakedness
I hear a lot of people talking about GWCs only having a camera because it makes it easier to get girls naked. Personally, I've always found it easier to pick up a girl and get her naked without a camera than with one, so today I conducted an informal survey. I picked 17 women who I know casually but not closely. They all know me well enough to know I'm a photographer, but not well enough that we ever hang out together or run in the same circles. I told them I was conducting a survey and asked them whether it would be easier to get them naked for sex or for pictures. 12 out of 17 said sex, and they'd never consider pictures. 1 said pictures (she got a business card!). 2 said neither and don't ever talk to me again (no kidding!). 1 said either (she got a business card too!). 1 said both, except for the fact that she knows I'm married. So, based on my informal survey, I've concluded that either: a) all you guys who think GWCs wouldn't own cameras except for their goal of getting girls naked are way off base OR b) you're all right and those dumb GWCs are REALLY wasting their time and money. Granted, 17 women in a subarctic suburb is probably not a representative sample, but what do you think - a or b? Apr 17 06 10:45 pm Link These are some interesting findings, however one has to take into account the ugliness factors of some men (such as me) who would have never achieved a thing if he was trying to score with mere charm of his personality. So here's where the camera comes in handy. I wouldn't make you have sex with me, but I can get you nekkid in front of my lens  Apr 17 06 10:49 pm Link Tim Hammond wrote: Given the large number of naked pictures by GWC, I have to think that a and b aren't the only choices.

Apr 17 06 11:00 pm Link Dude - I used to design surveys - Totally flawed methodology - at least relating to GWC success ratios - The "let me take nude photos of you" should have an image of 2 one hundred dollar bills with an " = " in the middle. Now - get out there and re-survey the 15 that will still talk to you - and don't come back till your results match our pre-conceived notions. OUT! LOL VintageV (Who actually did design surveys when in grad school - really!) Apr 17 06 11:52 pm Link Of these 17 women, how many were Native Alaskans? (Makes a huge difference on how I answer) Apr 17 06 11:57 pm Link Craig Thomson wrote: Do you mean born and raised in Alaska or Alaskan Natives (as in Athabascan, Innuit, Aleut, etc.)? If you mean the first, I don't know. If you mean the second, none, although one is Apache, if that makes a difference. Apr 18 06 12:26 am Link I shoot a LOT of nudes, including some of fairly shy people. Several considerations: -- Don't push the models. Either they want to pose nude or they don't. The lack of enthusiasm would show in the results anyway. -- Make it clear that your uses of the resulting images would be considerate of the model's best interests. -- Shoot excellent non-nude images first. -- Be a safe person to be around. Have a good reputation. -- I encourage my models to wear sidearms, which indicates my concern for their safety. I have new models fly in from other states very regularly. Generally, they return for further shoots as often as they can. They also recommend me to friends. Except for a few budgeted projects, I do not pay anyone. Their gain is the images they get, professional exposure and the sheer enjoyment of the process.  ("Bare Essentials" actually show the model's personal gear, a Level II vest and a Glock 17) Apr 18 06 01:06 am Link Tim, you forgot to have a control group of women whom you didn't ask any questions. You'd need to count how many of them spontaneously offered to take their clothes off for you, and for which reason. :-) JK. Apr 18 06 01:23 am Link Tim Hammond wrote: I meant Alaskan Natives.

Or did you mean that in a snooty way, Sir?

Apr 18 06 09:03 am Link No, your poll shows what most GWCs count on, 2 out of 17 chicks will consider getting naked on camera, so if you ask 17,000 you will get to see some nakid girls. and since the wife, girlfriend, mother..... won't let them date, but might let them be the next great photographer, so they ask every meter maid, water ice girl, the old lady next door..... Who ever, as long as the have B(o)(o)bies and a pulse. It's really a foolproof plan. Apr 18 06 09:11 am Link |
