I use myspace as a networking tool, but not like that guy. He IS a tool.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Age has absolutely nothing to do with someones ability to produce quality work or their professionalism.
There are some 17 years olds here who put people who claim to have 25 years experience to shame.
Some people don't know about resources such as OMP or Model Mayhem.

Ain't that the truth. search lara jade. She puts many to shame. Age is irrelevant.

I think I know who you were talking about...that particular photog sent me the same questions.  I just gave him my email and he stated that although the email would work if he was by his computer....but needed my number if he was traveling.  I told him that if he wanted to shoot with me and he knew he was going to be within my area maybe then I'd give him my number, but until then...not going to happen.  A week later he send me another email stating "name, phone, contact info" just as before.  I never responded.

See Im glad some ppl understand my claim about this guy. It seens like the last few ppl that have responed have so much negativity about how I stated his age and such. What they need to know is MYSPACE has FAKE photographers and models. There are guys stealing pictures off other girls and REAL photographers sites and take credit for it.

The question really boils down to whether or not you want to be considered a professional model.  If you do then plan on one of two things, giving your phone number out to potential clients or hiring a manager to answer your phone calls.  If you ask me it is pretty paranoid not to give out a phone number for privacy concerns. To me it is not unlike someone walking into a business, applying for a job, filling out the application, and leaving the phone number blank because they don't "know" you.  Guess where that application goes?  No offense, but get over yourself, if you think someone is a creep don't communicate with them at all, if you don't think they are then don't automatically treat everyone as a potential stalker. It's extremely unprofessional and kind of odd.

Since I made this topic I have been getting tons of messages from other models who this guy has contacted and they felt exactly the same way I did. He contacted them with the same message and rude response. Me giving my number to a photog who does not have references makes me leery of his creditability. My pics have been stole from the site buy "Photogs" or "Model Companys" whom were not real that had friend requested me. So me saying his age means this, he is a young guy who just wants to hook up with girls that are models and hides behind the "Im A photographer" aliais. Im not judging him, I can just read in between the lines.  I know some young photographers who are awsome.
