Was on this site for 2 years before I started modelling. Phew it's a hard site. There's so many mean people on it! When I started modelling I gave up, as I'd never got a shoot booked and eventually forgot my password.

Anyways I'm back, wondering if you guys are still as mean and blunt as ever, and I asked for a critique.

Nothing! No replies. Some people's critiques how pages of replies and yet mine doesn't even have one.

Why is this? Because I'm a newbie? Hmpg.

your pristine beauty has nullified any chance of criticism.

I like that shower too.

I'd shoot with you

The "mean / total donkey anus" level years ago was around 200%, but now it's at 130.7%.

No offense, but the attitude you come back with sounds like it might be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

How's that?

We've gone from straight up, unadulterated asshole, to like watered down asshole with some sour mix thrown in to hide the bitter taste of well vodka.

Is there a place on the internet that's nice?

Aaaaaaaaand now I want a drink.

Welcome back, OP!  I haven't ventured back to the critique forum since I returned from a hiatus myself, but I sometimes didn't get replies in there, either.  It's just a matter of who feels like responding--sometimes you'll get nothing, and other times you'll get a bunch.

The mean assholes are still here, they just spend most of their time in the brig where they belong. Don't take what they say too seriously. If they had any real stance in the industry they wouldn't be on an online forum arguing with each other.

Welcome back.

Don't forget, for every asshole there is someone who thinks their shit don't stink.

There are people who get off on going after other people, and feeling proud or getting respect for their ability to get away with putting someone in their place, or giving them what they think is deserved.

That was certainly the culture of the site, and I'm not sure how much that mentality has changed.

Do your best to focus on the good people, and try to ignore the bad ones.

I don't feel qualified to give critiques, so I don't go there.

It it possible that because your profile is so new and you have limited images that people are waiting for more before saying anything. You might receive a starting point, but critiques are best given when there's a time lapse from when you start to when you're asking. Shoot for about 6 months then come back and ask for a critique so we can see a progression and offer insight.

I'd ventured to say you're not ready for a critique. Instead go to the edu section of the site and study the material for new models. Learn what you can from that, apply it to your upcoming shoots then come back.

Good luck!
