Been setting up a session for the last couple days ( I know, way to long ) but the Model keeps asking unusual questions (in texts) .... even asking for a Photo of myself and wife (Wife is present at most of my shoots when dealing with a nude model).
This is the second time I believe the person I am speaking with is NOT the model, rather a husband or boyfriend trying to catch someone cheating or the like.

Anyone else have this happen??   second time in 18 years on this site.

not sure if I can / allowed to post the models username/#  in referance to this but if anyone asks Ill tell them.

Have your wife pick up the phone and actually call the model (not send txt messages). The issue will reveal itself very quickly this way.

Yes, several times. Each time was different.
The names don't really seem important.

I'd move on

I've seen women explain a dozen and one reasons - on behalf of all women - why various reindeer games are done for her to feel safe.

But I've also seen a dozen and one women not do any of those things and be fine navigating the world, as an individual with individual comfort levels.

so, on to the next.

not worth trying to crack the code about whether its someone else, or a paranoid model. just book a professional that acts like the other ones.

As soon as we realize that we're being played so to speak, it's our choice to keep playing the game with them or politely just suddenly get too busy or preferably be honest and say that's just not the way we roll and say we're moving on, regardless of whether it changes or not.

If you are getting weird vibes this early in the process it may not be worth continuing.
Who needs the extra drama.
