How do MM photographers feel about models who say in their profile they pose nude, you pay for a nude session, then after the shoot, model says don't post any nudes or blur/sensor nude pics on social media or internet?

I feel like your pre-shoot communication maybe needs some tweaking? Also, get a solid model release and have the model read it prior to coming to the shoot. Get a copy of the model's id before you press the shutter. Get a signature on the release before payment. Then when they tell you what you can or can't do with the pictures, you just nod your head and do what your release allows for.

I quote them a price for which they may purchase the copyrights for the images. So far I have never had a taker. But as mentioned above you should have a signed models release before shooting.

Your profile says you are a long time glamour photographer and your portfolio includes nudes, so what surprises me about your question is that you feel that because a model’s profile says they pose nude that this somehow allows you to post any images you happen to take.

Clearly pre-shoot you need to have your models sign a Usage Rights agreement that specifies where and for how long your photos can be used (e.g., fine-art portfolios, private galleries, commercial stock, or restricted adult platforms).
