Ok so that is I would suspect a cheap teaser...but it's appropriate. This could also be titled pet peeves but that's so much less seductive.

I was recently performing a search and viewing profiles and I discovered (not invented) a correlation between the member's profile name and the level of professionalism. i.e. I didn't see much when I saw profile names like "pink1foru" or "divachic18" or "snapcheeks" (please note the names were changed to protect the innocent and this isn't just for models).

Just an observation...3 Starbuck's Quad Mocha's can do that sometimes.

You're rigth about that, the cheesecake names tend to correlate to that type of behavior or professionalism, but theres always exceptions to the rule. My name was something like mixedmodgirl1 when I first signed up, I didnt realize you could make it whatever you wanted, and I figured my name was already taken. Lol. I changed my name the first day i got approved.

I did not know that Starbucks actually makes people more observant. I thought it just made me climb walls better...  tongue

Very true. But as I'm climbing the walls I start to notice the paint cracking, the uneven ceilings, that I shouldn't have cut my nails...Hmmm, caffeine or cocaine? lol

Laziness, stupidity, asking blatantly obvious questions, people who type things not following forum threads (Mickle asked for names with 1 and 3 syllables, he kept getting 2), people who insist on making the rest of us endure their screaming children in public places (my ass was dragged out to the car and I got throttled if I acted up like that), fake obnoxious laughter.

What turns me off?  Sticky. If you touch me with a candy cane or lolli pop I will tear off your arms. If you spill some pepsi and just let it dry then i put my elbow in it I will remove you eyes. I hate sticky.

Edit: I would rather be hit by a car than be sticky.

My biggest peave is watching photographers and models beat the snot out of each other verbally all day long on this site about THINGS THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE.

There will always be creepy, perverted photographers.

There will always be flaky models.

Breast implants are here to stay.

Escorts are a fact of life. LIVE WITH IT.

Some shoot TFP, but it's not for everybody

Some models are thin, others have curves . Both types of models can find work. They just have to look for it.

Some are in this business to make money, others for pleasure. respect that

Some people like nudes, other people are offended by them. It is what it is.

   Beating your head against the wall about things that will never change only drives YOU slowly insane. Certain things are with us forever: death, taxes, seat belt laws, crooked politicians, people that roll through stop signs, etc.

  These things will not go away.

  Face it.

  You'll sleep better.

I'm put off when I can't tell if a photographer is trying to be funny or is flirting with me.

And I don't like photographers that touch. Not even in the bad way, but sometimes when s/he wants me to move a leg and s/he just grabs my leg and puts it in the place s/he wants it. It irks me. And it happens often enough. Maybe I can't pose right?

I guess it's a good thing you're a photographer! I've been covered in some sticky messes from time to time...

Have you asked your models to cover themselves in something sticky?

No...it's piss expensive coffee. They're raising their prices...I think it's already too expensive, but I always end up buying once in a while anyways.

In reference to the forums, I have two peeves.

First, I don't like vague titles for thread topics. There are so many topics in these forums, and I'd like to get a feel of the subject from the title. Vague titles are ones like "Guess What" or "Has this happened to you?" or "I need your opinion". I don't read those too often. Be specific and grab my attention instead of leading me on with curiosity.

Second, I don't like it when people reply to a topic using the "Quote" function when there are photos in the quote. Too much clutter and repition for me.
