At least he's blunt. Most of us claim to want to take your picture first.

Okay, seriously, if it was a MM photographer, let a moderator know.

I'm a moderator. You can message me.

Dark...complimentary if you ask me.

Unless he is e-stalking you, I think it harmless.

...and you promptly told him to go fuck himself with the wide end of a baseball bat and then forwarded the email to Tyler right?  ...or did you just post it here to make noise?  Nothing personal, it's just that it seems half of these posts are just attention getters-

ok...additional on edit:

I just looked at his portfolio, it's so obvious that he's just a trouble making idiot.   No one could possibly believe he's legit...just report it and brush it off, rather than drawing any attention to him- since that's probably what he wants...

That is one of the reasons I have stopped using another model database site( I won't mention names), it's because of the assholes that loom over the site waiting for a pretty young girl to come along and take advantage of...or use this as a dating service. I get a few messages on here from time to time trying to hook up with me and I tell them to get lost and report them. I always try to be as professional as possible and I feel it's the only way to be in this business both for models and photographers. On another modeling site, I was not only constantly harassed by men wanting to "hook up", men posing as legitimate photographers only to try to sleep with me, but lots and lots of "legitimate" projects that turn out to be porn....when I reported these incidents to the administrator I was blown off and told that if I didn't like the treatment I was getting on that site, to discontinue my membership. I really like MM because other than the few messages I've received (very few messages), this has been nothing but a professional experience for me and it makes me very comfortable. I also feel here at MM, that they value their models and other members equally and do not tolerate unprofessional acts on their site.........which is why I'm a member here now.

i can not begin to tell you how many emails i get from models and actresses  wishing to engage in more than just stimulating social intercourse...but for me, if i can put a smile on a woman face and in her heart, then i have done my job.

That's beside the point!  If we want to be PROFESSIONALS then we need to demand respect and give respect as well.

On one note,, thats just plain rude and uncalled for to say the least.

On the other, how does one know for sure this happened at all?

MM does not have a foward button, so you can not send it over to anyone and prove it. Maybe it is something else that can be added so that models can report such things in real time and with out question.

My 2 cents.

"Pornographer", "Photographer". He obviously gets those two words mixed up. That's what happens when you spend too much time huffing.

Could that possibly be OMP?  Which should just call themselves DMP? (Dating Models Place?)

P.S Take care my friends!

Question,

Did he send you an email, or did he message you through MM?   Big difference.


It may have just been his way of asking you for a date. If it was messaged through one of the many modeling sites like MM, or OMP, then it was out of line.

If it was through a direct email, then its not a MM matter.


I am not upholding his actions, but there has been a lot of forum posts lately that looks like take offs from  the Jerry Springer show.

He should have just ask you if you wanted to go to Paris for a week. I wonder if your reply would have been different.

Marvin that is a good point about the reply based on the proposal.
I know models who get offers for outrageous fees to go to Phoenix or where ever and they give it serious consideration but the real question happens to be the same .
The "photographer " is offering 3,000 for a shoot and flying a girl to Phoenix for two days and they think it is a real offer .
They get phone calls several time a day to discuss the "shoot" and "personal" matters and to have the guy tell them they are so great. The guy calls then hunny or sugar or some other cute little name and they think he is being nice.
Now if he just came out and said -----"I want to fuck you they would be offended "
His intent and question is the same but he has used money and photography to mask the question and the idiots ( models ) still fall for it , along with some of their managing misters.

I apologize if this has already been said, but if you know anything about computers, you can easily take a "Screen Shot" of the e-mail/MM message and save it to your computer.  It's like taking a picture of your screen smile
