Hello MM'ers! I'm new and have a question. I am not comfortable with displaying my age on my profile. How do I change it? Thanks very much everybody.

Your port says you're 106?

I'd just be honest and change it back to 105...jk wink

There is no way to turn it off, unfortunately.

How old are you really?
dont be to ashamed of your age, cause when you go for a casting call or what not and they ask you, your age and your hesitant, there going to catch on that your age is your insecurity.....

Just my $.02 worth...One of things that I really pay attention to when looking for models to work with is the correct age. There have been a few times in the past where after contacting a model about a shoot, her real age came out and that caused me to not want to shoot with her...

Be honest...

By showing your age as 106 not many Model Searches on MM will find you because there isn't much demand for ladies that age.

There have been discussions about whether it's cool to lie about your age.  Unfortunately, the search feature is broken; otherwise, I'd link to it.  In my opinion, it's okay to put your age range (as long as you are really over 18--legal reasons).  I don't care how old people are.  I care about how old people look.

Age is important, just ask Michael Jackson.

OK seriously, I have worked with models ranging from 14 years old to 39 and the age doesn't matter - the looks do - so you don't  have to lie about your age. Besides, I wouldn't want to work with 106 year old models anyway, They won't be able to do the poses I usually torture models with. That would't be fun for me and I can hear the snapping bones of osteoporosis - gross!

Lie.

But more importantly, what about photographers?  I said I'm 54, but I know that's gonna put off chics looking for hot photographers, so maybe I should lie and say I'm 27, huh?

Because I don't want my images to end up on the "Dr. Phil" Show along with a model who is under age and her mom, (This actually happened to a friend.)
I have become much more careful about checking age and getting signed model releases.

Xenia,

For you, I would make an exception and love to work with you! You are the best looking 106 year old I've ever seen. I just have one stipulation, you must take calcium pills to prevent that bone-snapping.
