I'm posting this here because I want model feedback....not photographers...but models.

As women (this pertains to the women) do you really like it when a male photographer leaves a message/tag/comment on your photos that say things like:

This is yummy
This makes me hungry
This is boner material
This is Sexy (this may indeed be acceptable, I just included it for discussion)

?

I just had to ask, as I see allot of so-called professional photographers leaving these notes and just want to know...."acceptable behavior" or "showing typical testosterone-induced immaturity" cuz it goes against everything I was raised to believe a pro should represent themselves like in a public forum. But if times are a changin...I'll just accept it and move on.

Models only now, let's get this out in the open.

Hi David,

I come from a large family, and have older brother and sisters that have always teased and joked around. Many MMers who are personal friends do tease each other often. Theda and I
who are opinionated, lippy, and sarcastic, have been known to teasingly double-team people we know all the time.

Generally, I do not take offense if I feel the comments
are goofy and/or playful as X mentioned, but if the comments slide down into the crude and/or sexually graphic I reflexively hit the delete button.

And you are also right, when in doubt, I do add the "just teasing you or just kidding" disclaimer to prevent someone who might not KNOW me, to realize that I am simply teasing and not serious.

I thought he only wanted feedback from models, not photographers...

Yeah seriously does anyone read anymore?

If a random phoyographer says you "look sexy" or "thats a hot pic" thats ok...but if someones says "wow that pic just made me hard", i'ld put them on my Never Work With list.

Well, I could either start a model portfolio or comment as a photog, otherwise the world would end as we know it!

If I know the person, I personally do not mind. I like it if I look yummy LOL. If it is just a random stranger I still don't mind-but I would rather be judged on my personality than my looks- Oh wait I am a model that means I don't have a personality-
But do i look yummy?

some shots are "yummy" staci lol

unfortunately many 'photographers' and 'MODELS' use this site to try to get dates or advertise their sexual preferences..
...snipped
perhaps that should be a sister site called 'Dating Mayhem'
( hmm ,, should I copyright the idea? ) so the ones who
are hungry for 'flesh' would have their ball field ...

Hm...http://dating.mayhem.com

I envision a forum for "Dating Mishaps" and some bonehead posting a thread that goes something like, "Have you ever accidentally blind dated your sister?"

LMAO

I don't get offended with such comments, but if you actually tag me "this is boner material", that may slightly affect whether or not I'd want to work with you : P 

True that. True that. However, that would be a compliment for a Photographer who posted Erotic material. I suppose he'd have the opposite smartass posting feedback, something like, "Dayum! I saw this and I went limp as a noodle!"

*grin*

i think there are many other ways to comliment and say the same things that were listed.
i personally dont like it i find it offensive.
i am , and i believe other models ehre, didnt come to MM to make photographers jerk off, or something like that..
if a person is professional he/she would use appropriate diction in their comments.

Well, a verbal is one thing. I'm just wondering if it is risky in writing on a public forum where people who may want to hire you, and don't know your relationship with the model, may now get the wrong idea. Or, othe "photographers" who don't know her now think she is open to those comments start to harass her.

As a small business owner, I am maybe over-in-tuned to these things and harassment issues can be a big deal. A girl is friends with someone, they tell her she looks "yummy", the guy in the next cube hears them flirting and he wants to get in on the fun, now he's commenting and she doesn't like it but set a precedent by letting one guy do it publicly...etc, etc,

If that happens where they know each other then the photog didn't use any tact. I'll leave a comment using Hun, Babe, Sweetheart but I make sure it's always worded to show that I personally know the model.

Some of the things you guys see?...I swear. I feel like I'm living in a sheltered world. Maybe, I'm just looking for things I want to see and skipping the rest. *shrugs*

I think if it is someone you know and you have that kind of joking relationship it's fine, but if it's just some random person it looks tacky and very unprofessional!!

I guess my question would be, (and maybe I need to direct this at photographers at this point) if you are looking to work professionally, (the photographer leaving the comment) knowing that this is a public froum and ANYONE could be browsing looking at your work, would you (and especially the photographer) want comments like that to keep you (them) from getting paid work because they didn't take you seriously...or were afraid the photographer would act too immature or unprofessional on a paid job with a model.
