Jun 23 14 07:01 pm Link You want to publicly shame people for taking an interest in you? You're free to think its unprofessional all you want, but the fact is that people with the same things in common often wind up meeting and dating because of those commonalities. Coworkers date, often. People in the same school, same club, same gym, same whatever date. If you dont want to date someone you meet through modelling, then dont go on dates with people, dont accept date requests, dont respond to people who offer dates. Like any other person who would want to date you in the rest of the real world...

I'm just kind of creeped by people who use networking sites primarily as dating sites. Apparently lots of people do. I'm sure it happens just as often on linked-in. Jun 23 14 08:37 pm Link Have you ever tried using the "Block" feature, and then moving on? If someone sends you a message that's truly inappropriate/against site rules, you can CAM them, then block them. If you let the messages get to the point of "trolling" you have nobody but yourself to blame. "Outing" people is silly, because why would anyone trust you over the person you're supposedly outing? How would anyone know that you weren't just upset that a photographer didn't want to work with you, or wouldn't give you RAW files, or some other petty reason? It would be ridiculous to believe something that a random stranger over the internet says. Anyone with an ounce of sense does their own research. Jun 23 14 08:43 pm Link MelissaAnn wrote: Em Yup!!!! Jun 23 14 08:46 pm Link So you dated a photographer off this site who trolled you?

Maybe it happens more because we are older models, I don't know. Maybe it's just how the world is now. Get used to it, the older I get the more I am experiencing it.

Jun 24 14 08:17 am Link "Have you ever had a photog troll you on this site, ask you out, and then end up being a real douche?" Troll, troll how? I've had photographers troll me on the forums.. er.. however I think everyone trolls on here, to be quite honest. lol. Ask out, on a date? No. Ask out for a shoot and end up being "a real douche"... well yes. As in, actually, terribly rude and unprofessional to the point where I cut the shoot short. The only people who ask me on dates here are the male models, really. Jun 24 14 09:21 am Link Isis22 wrote: Actually, that's not all that surprising considering that photographers tend to be somewhat older. Mid-life, once the kids are grown up and out of the nest, is a time when divorces tend to spike, creating not only the "older man" but the "cougar". And popular conceptions to the contrary notwithstanding, for many of us older guys, a somewhat older woman is much to be desired over the 18-25-year olds. We just can't take the music, the jargon and the sheer physical vibrancy. Wonderful to look at and say "If I were just a few years younger," but the fact is that we couldn't handle it even if we did get it. A more mature woman is a lot less frightening and a lot more satisfying. Jun 24 14 09:44 am Link lynne g wrote: ROTFLMAO!! Jun 24 14 09:51 am Link I have found that the CAM feature works pretty well. I have had to work at it once or twice, but it ended up working. If I don't want to deal with that, the block feature always works ... at least for a while. When someone is so desperate that they contact me even after I block them (another account) then it's definitely time to CAM and insist they do something. Granted, this hasn't happened to me but I have talked with someone who said it happened to them. This was the advice I gave them. I'll tell you what has happened to me, though. I have contacted a model to ask them to shoot. We exchanged messages on here for a while before switching to text messages. After at least 20 texts, they asked me for a picture of me so they could "see who they were talking with". I sent them a picture. Now they say they won't shoot with me because I don't look good enough. This has happened more than once. Needless to say, those people went on the blocked list. I don't expect to hear from them again. Jun 24 14 10:24 am Link In this hypothetical situation... Did I shoot with him after he trolled/stalked me or before?

Jun 24 14 01:00 pm Link Risen Phoenix Photo wrote: really??? I AM a photographer, doh! And I stated the multiple photogs in my port have all been cool to work with. I just think people shouldn't be messaging you on a networking board unless they want to chat art or set up a shoot. To use this as a primary source of scoring dates is not cool IMO. If it is secondary to your work, I'm ok w tht. Jun 24 14 01:59 pm Link lynne g wrote: I sort of agree with this, but every social venue is considered an opportunity to meet potential mates by a fairly large percentage of the population. Otherwise you'd never see, for example, a guy hitting on a woman in a grocery store. Whether it's appropriate or not, it will happen.

Jun 24 14 04:46 pm Link Bare Essential Photos wrote: Why would MODELS ask PHOTOGRAPHERS out since 99% of photogs don't have self portraits up? Jun 24 14 04:59 pm Link I realize this photographer's behavior has irritated you, and there is always a tendency to want to vent when such things happen. However, I do think that you could have worded your OP more clearly. You seem to have just rattled it off very quickly, without really thinking through the wording of it. A more thorough explanation of what occurred could have helped you to get your point across more clearly, and thus not offend. Jun 24 14 04:59 pm Link Are there levels of GWC; from totaly disgusting to slightly naughty.
