can't people read?!
I'm starting to get tired of people thinking I'm the model on my main picture. grRRR! Some guy model requested to be my friend, so I added him to the list. Then he messages me saying... "oh my god this picture is so o soso sos fucking hot...come to la and hold me while i fall asleep.. jesus, talk about fucking beauty.... ughhhh come be my girlfriend" I reply... "I'm a photographer, not a model. You're gross! lol" And I delete him as a friend. Apr 22 05 03:45 am Link of course they cant ;-) Thats why lots of signs have pictures as well as words ;-) Id of done the same though my reply might of been a bit more......um how u say evil? (got smacked in the head one time too many thats my excuse;-) Apr 22 05 03:47 am Link In the shoutbox you said you gave me props! You're lying! lol Apr 22 05 04:41 am Link I just got one as well, "your fucking hot can we hang out" freaking idiots  Apr 22 05 04:50 am Link OMG! In general I think men are stupid. I guess I've worked in a bar too long to think otherwise. Apr 22 05 05:26 am Link Posted by Pinky: Hey, a couple of females thought I was a model as well. Apr 22 05 05:44 am Link Posted by Pinky: Pinky, your judgement is clouded by your experiences with alcohol laden men lol Apr 22 05 08:38 am Link WOW you are a great model... I love your style. Do you do nudes??? YOu should do glamour.... LMAo... Apr 22 05 08:43 am Link I go through that crap on myspace if I have a model on my profile. If they read the word "MALE" and "PHOTOGRAPHY" they might get a clue? Rik Apr 22 05 08:48 am Link Rik, you are assuming that they actually read lol Apr 22 05 10:34 am Link lol true so very true Steel. I take it they read only those books with 'pictures'.... Apr 22 05 11:20 am Link Hey Visual here be ure props u smoking, farting, um driving too fast.......... love all those qualities listed on ure page as well as the stuff you exposed at 5 am (EST) this morning) Being that I was up till 630 and work up at 10- my brain is refusing to let me remember all the other beautiful things I said about you;-) Talk later maybe itll come back then;-) As for reading why bother? itll never say what they want to hear Apr 22 05 11:27 am Link I had one of my model photos as my default originally but then expected what you have described, so changed it. Reminds me of a LJ group I'm on, if the model posts pictures, others trip all over themselves saying OMG UR SO BEYOOTIFUL, but if the photographer does? Not so many comments, unless they are confused like you say and assume it's the model posting. Gah! Must it always degenerate into a meat market?! Apr 22 05 11:31 am Link Posted by Matt: Matt - you know... You are looking quite "tastey..." Like Filet Mignon... Apr 22 05 12:56 pm Link As a "generalization" it is true that men are more visually stimulated than women. So it makes sense when men don't read ... LOL! You are going to find this "hitting on" the models mentality here since it's a natural human instinct to want to have sex. As artistic as a photographer can be, it still boils down to the old saying "Sex sells!" So everywhere on the 'net, you'll find this mentality. What I find amusing are the female models who get tons of male models on their "friends" list here on ModelMayhem. Again, it goes back to human nature ... but this place is not meant to be a lonely hearts club, right? There are plenty of place online for singles looking ... "heck!" even for people not single. Nothing against meeting someone here who happens to be a model or photographer that turns into more than a professional relationship, after all I am single! But people who are not in the industry get strange ideas that photographers and models are humping each other while doing photo shoots like ... well you know! LOL Apr 22 05 01:04 pm Link Posted by Patrick Walberg: NO WAY!! Apr 22 05 01:06 pm Link Just because peole CAN read doesn't mean they will. Myspace is intended in part to be a meatmarket dating service, so I expect it there. Hopefully, because this site is more focused, it won't be as much of an issue. Apr 22 05 02:22 pm Link hahaha. You gotta love the enthusiasm tho. That made my day. Apr 22 05 02:26 pm Link Then there was the time that a couple of fanboys cornered me and a couple of other photographers at a photo event. "Damn, dude, you shoot the hottest women! Do you ever... um... you know... get any?" I couldn't resist. "Oh, sure. All the time. In fact, see that model over there? We shot last weekend, and when we were done, she was so horny that she just jumped me before I could even turn off the lights!" I had them going for a good 10 minutes before I let them off the hook and told them that the model in question was actually my wife. I wouldn't have let them leave without telling them, though, because that's how one gets a bad reputation. But the 10 minutes that I had 'em going was priceless. Trying to keep the other photographers from cracking up and ruining the joke was half the fun. Apr 22 05 03:02 pm Link Oh wait... here's another of my favorites: If you're a female, you must be a model. If you're a male you must be a photographer. Apr 22 05 03:18 pm Link Posted by Christopher Ambler: Chris, I like your style! You show that you've got a sense of humor, yet your profile shows you know when to take your work serious. I think I would have done the same thing! Apr 22 05 03:23 pm Link Posted by theda: Well, modeling is one of the few occupations that women do make more than men. Many women make great photographers too! Apr 22 05 03:28 pm Link On my Myspace page, I have this disembodied underwater shot of Kym Stys' body. It's an artsy shot that was used for some catalog work. (I love when I can force feed a little creativity to a client.) And I get these, "Baby, your body is bangin!" or "Can I be in charge of your care and grooming?" Newsflash - my user ID on Myspace is "Brian Photo Gearhead" Dumbasses. Apr 22 05 07:41 pm Link I have to say that this is highly amusing! I'm glad that models don't read either.. I've had a lot of issues with people asking me what kind of work I do when it's listed, or asking me to do porn when I stated that I don't. I have also had many people on DA send me notes or emails telling me how they got off on my pictures. EW!! Apr 22 05 08:02 pm Link Posted by Madame Jynx: EW!!! Apr 22 05 11:56 pm Link Posted by Madame Jynx: Oh my bad. lmao Apr 23 05 12:42 am Link ROFL Visual. Apr 23 05 12:45 am Link I have to be honest, I thought your profile was a model portfolio too... only because I read on there all your interest and stuff and didnt think many photographers would post their interest. I didnt read the part where it said you are a photographer though lol. Apr 23 05 01:02 am Link Posted by Chelsea Harris: Yeah, I guess I know what you mean. When I looked at your page and I saw your main image... for a second there, I thought you were a butt. Apr 23 05 04:18 am Link hey - now you know the crap i have to put up with!! men are pigs. Apr 23 05 12:40 pm Link Posted by divinity daley: men are pigs. Not me. I'm a tiger! raWR! Apr 23 05 07:44 pm Link ewwwwwwwww THAT'S GROSS! I've also had emails sent to me saying that too..I'ts A BIG turnoff! Apr 23 05 07:53 pm Link I got an invitation to do some some things I won't even mention. This guy, saw my avatar. PERVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Apr 24 05 08:16 am Link LOL...nobody reads anymore. I still get offers to do porn and bondage. I used to do bondage but not anymore. I never did porn and I never will. After I e-mail them back saying that I don't do that kind of work. They keep e-mailing me. Some people are just weird. lol Apr 24 05 09:30 am Link Venus......I think the word you are looking for is not weird but desperate......lol Apr 24 05 10:05 am Link The failure to read is an epidemic -- that, coupled with the reality that there are just a lot of dingbats out there. My profile makes an emphatically clear statement that I'm seeking models for artistic nudes, yet, just last week, a model (who shall remain nameless) sent me an email stating, "I'd really love to do a shoot with you! I don't have to take my clothes off, do I?" DUH??? Apr 25 05 08:01 am Link LOL. I admit, sometimes I get lazy and just skim things, but usually I read the important parts. Yes, desperate is a good word. Desperate to jack off to my pictures. LOL Apr 25 05 08:27 am Link Posted by Steel: Or persistant. Sometimes it works. Apr 25 05 07:49 pm Link As I've suggested more than once, the profile page should include work interests for both models and photographers just as it's done on MuseCube and OMP. Apr 26 05 08:06 am Link oh I have had worse. Some quite disgusting. But none from MM. They came from myspace where all the pervs are. Some idiot sent me an e-mail saying I hope you dont mind me jerking of to your photo but I think you so hot ah ya that felt good. I have had at least 5 others saying oh your so hot, come check out my pics, you know you want my hot meat injection. I got so sick of it I put up a blog saying do me a favor and at least read the first two lines of the profile. MALE, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!! If you send me a request of friendship without telling me why you are here I will delete you. I am glad I havent had to deal with this stupidity on MM. Apr 27 05 01:46 pm Link |
