any models use their model photos on tinder and link their Instagram?

should we message you on Instagram saying we saw you on tinder asking you out to coffee and take head shots or should we just wait for a match?

Neither.
Even tough your intent is good , it's bound to be taken the wrong way.
Just contact them on Instagram and ask if they want to shoot, don't even mention Tinder.

its however you use it. to find friends, to fuck, to network to whatever your desire...

90% of people use it for penpals

You either want a date or a photo shoot, you can't have both. Pick one.

How about a date for a photo shoot? Could be taken both ways.

its not about the date tho... what the hell is a date if its a random day in a month than maybe sure.

i only mean to meet. i am not the person talking about how they are a model on a dating site...

that seems like an invitation to meet like minded people. we both list that what we do and enjoy.

i'm only implying i think they look interesting and reaching out to see if they would like to meet.

Why don't you try it and get back to us? The consensus does not agree with your inclination but there is only one way to find out.

I am not on either site and have no intention of joining.

Awkward, you're only making it worse.
What the heck does Tinder have to do with it, unless you want Tinder to have something to do with it?

Why don't you do what all the other guys who are only here for the boobies do?

Send a message with

"OMG you are SO HOT!!!!!"

That way the model can either block you or reply, depending on whether she's here for pictures or penis.

I always know when model friends have become single because all of a sudden I'll get a text saying "let's shoot!". They need new material to go with the new status   lol  lol

That's like approaching someone who mentions that they're a doctor in their Tinder bio, if they would be interested in giving you a check up or open heart surgery.

Lets be perfectly clear, if you try this approach, the only people who will fall for it, are people as newer & less experienced than you are.

As soon as you go back to being transparent about your goals for meeting people, you'll do a lot better with your social life AND business.

Cruising a hook up site for models is clearly not what it's made for and is going to be unwelcome. Context is important in practically every social interaction, including finding models.
