In my experience the flakey factor is based on people who really don't know each other. I've found more flakey people online than people I meet in person. This is why a initial meeting is so important because no matter how much messages you send you cannot really know someone until you meet them in person.

Many online models want me to cast them into something but since I really don't know them very well I would rather just meet with them or do a simple model test before we really get into specify staged shoot.

It always will happen more online, especially with people that you dont know.  Not a big deal to blow off a stranger is the mindset I think in many ways.  Less likely to happen to someone you are aquainted with. 

18-24 is the age range that will flake most often.

Too many grammatical errors in your post to count, along with incomplete sentence structure and thought, and you're calling other people flakey.

Nope,,,this is too generalized ...I've meet with photographers before and I still dont know them.

I know I don’t write great and writing has always plagued me since I have too many learning disabilities to count. I wish English were as easy to learn as photography.

Well, if you stomp on it, add butter, sprinkle with flour,  stomp some more, and repeat, you can get some really flakey crusts.....

Dunno if it works for photographers, models, or dead horses, though. smile
