Why so many MM male models imitate female model poses?  I often see these feminine poses in male models on here but never on the billboard or mag.  The female poses looks sexy and inviting, but often they do not translate well into male counterpart.  In fact, it looks ridiculous in male model.  For example, pulling down their brief in an angle looks awful to me.  It gives me a chill up my spine. 

Is this is the way of the future, or just the newbies have not idea how to pose in general, lol   

I rarely see guys imitating women's poses, to be honest.  Are you just being overly sensitive to the minority or are you really seeing a lot of this?

Please show us an example of how you think it should be done.

You don't really have a clue as to what you're talking about.  None at all. 

In general the fashion industry does not try to feminize men.  Mainly because in an effort to target male buyers, they want to convey an image of strength and masculinity because that's imagery that men identify with.  That's what gets them to buy clothing.  That's what resonates with the target markets.  You can isolate some designers who toy with androgyny but it's not the fashion industry in general.  Nor was it ever historically the case.

Like, you really don't know what you're talking about at all…


((Geez… this isn't the oldest thread I've ever seen by a long shot by why dig this one up?))

Not one single male model in your port of 74 images.

What would you know about how a male should pose?

This is like me gathering a bunch of white dudes,

and explaining to them, how to climb rocks better

You raise a valid point here.
