Depends on what I’m selling.

Note: I don’t call models “girls or boys”

Thats cool...but gender plays a part.... Really what would you prefer to work with if you had to choose, and what your selling dosn't really focus on a particular gender..

Working with boys is a little different than working with girls.

Whats your opinion on girls and boy models their techniques, expressions, emotions, bodies! Whos better? What makes one better than the other.... and if one isn't better than the other. What do males do better than females??? What can females do that males can't.... Keep it within the modeling subject... We already know about males having haha's and females having hoho's......

The dynamics are completely different.  The portrayals of sexy or powerful or intelligent or anger or sadness or vulnerability vary greatly between the sexes.  Not a better/worse issue.  Just different.

Personally, that difference is the reason I like shooting both males and females.  I enjoy capturing the moods with one which I can't get with the other.

While waiting for the microwave to cook my Stouffer's chicken ala king, I ate a Chocolate Creme Swiss Roll.  What's great about being a grownup is you don't have to act like one.

I rarely do. lol

But if I don't start eating like one, I'm gonna have to be a plus model.

Girls are more marketable not better. Men have the most money and like looking at beautiful women. Even a lot of women like looking at images of women. More money in photographing women and that is why.
There is a small niche market for men and if you can exploit that than good for you. Women buy products too and can be persuaded to spend money by looking at pictures of attractive men. Learn to cater to them and you can make a little cash.

I see where your coming from so women are just in general beautiful..and them being women "sell".... thats kinda sad

Girls are more flexible than boys. When shooting boys, the first rule is, "do no harm." What this means is generally men do not want to look feminine in their pictures. This limits the types of poses we can do together. But girls can do just about anything and come off looking great.

Lots of photographers say the same things you did..... But shouldn't you be doing a masculine pose for a guy it should be the exact same as for a women which is being feminine...you should have just as much flexibility for men in pose mascline as women posing feminine.... we are two different types of the human race..... Women can pose in a mascline manner and still look good because we can still see a feminine side to them because they are female...if a male would pose feminine than of corse he would be gay...... Women are more easier in general.... men have to work harder to keep a mascline side to their poses.... Its not really flexibility its what you said just the simple mascline and feminine side to poses and techniques....

I do agree women are more free minded.... but flexibility I think works on just the model themselves.... man should be able to not look feminine without the help of the photographer... I mean male models are men so they should naturally act like one photographers direct they dont alter anyones gender look.... unless they are dressed up to look like a girl than that would be attentionally....

For some reason, your post made me think of what I once heard:

People spend the first nine months of their existence trying to get out of the womb, and the rest of their lives trying to get back in.

In my opinion (and I'm making sure that I say this because of the hell that could follow) there is no thing, nothing, nada thing, not a thing, in this e-n-t-i-r-e world better than the female.  Taking the physical out of it, female in many case returns or may involve mother. Mother in all cases returns to nature. Nature in all things returns to mother nature. Mother nature's work unless you've been struck by  hurricane, is always beautiful.  So naturally, mother nature prevails and male aren't mothers.

Just my opinion though.

ROCK ON!!! women are amazing its true....

But this is modeling not wiccan/pegan traditions nature is within everyone.... men hold the seed women make that seed bloom.... it takes two to tangle rather it be mother nature(earth) or animal

Women are at the peak of all thats life and beauty.... but I'm talking about modeling not life in general..... modeling for me has always put me in an alter reality...

Well by all means, when you figure out the reason, I'd love to hear it.  ; }

I remember this trick someone did at a party once.  I can't quite remember how it worked but he had both girls and guys lean against a wall over a chair with their head touching the wall.  The girls had no problem lifting the chair and standing strait up.  Non of the guys could do it.  This proved that girls were much better than boys at lifting chairs from awkward positions. 

Wow thats kinda scary

this may be a little off topic...

someone asked me a similar question this weekend. i paint portraits, but stuff that i do for fun is always women; sexy women, with little-to-no clothes on. the only time i have painted men was for some wedding and couples pieces.

anyways, this may sound silly, but women just look better. i'm not attracted to women in any way, but they are so much more beautiful than even the best looking man.

why, though? not really sure. curves are fun, i guess.

Nice
