There are definitely some abusive people here, but I've also seen people who flip their shit if they ask for feedback and get anything less than unadulterated love.

They feel that they can say whatever they want because no one really knows who they are. I guess it sort of gives them an ego boost. If they were in a face to face discussion with someone they would probably act totally different.

By throwing out the blanket statement that you did, you back everyone into a corner and have them thinking, 'Is she talking about me...?'
So I guess the answer for me is yes. Sorry I am such a dick, even though I actually have no freakin' idea who you are...
EDIT: it is also my experience that people tend to get defensive when confronted with unbelievably diva-like demands and boasting in one's bio. But that's just my opinion.

I asked this question once. It was right after I started frequenting the forums and had dealt with a few of the "divas" here. I learned pretty quick to just ignore them and learned that some are actually pretty cool but were tired of hearing the same ol' crap day after day. Now I am probably considered to be "rude" at times too. One too many escort/flake/BS threads and posts I guess.

Rude? Maybe. If you're asking for a critique and people are critiquing sometimes the truth hurts. Sometimes when people ask dumb questions, they will get snarky and witty replies, which for people with no sense of humor will find rude. So, without any sort of example of which you speak of, I can't give you a straight answer.

O_o Oh, it was sarcasm? I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it because it was so in character for you. Even if it was sarcasm, I still don't need you to speak for me. And when did your original statement qualify as anything that would resemble polite conversation suitable for a 19 year old girl? Your rudeness does not qualify as humor.

Maybe the OP could explain just what kind of rudeness she's talking about though. I mean there's rude and then there's rude. Some women think "You are too short for fashion modeling so just face the truth" is rude. I don't, but I'm a realist.
As I said, need more information.

i contend that when you pair sooooo many girls in one place who PRETEND to be models to impress guys, their friends & boost their self-esteem with sooooguys who PRETEND to be photographers to impress girls, their friends & boost their self-esteem, you are just asking for a negative experience ... real talk ... just like owning a camera doesn't make a dud a photographer by default, nor does being female make a girl a model by default ... girls hustling dudes & dudes hustling girls ... rudeness would be my last concern ...

Wow. This has by far gotten outta hand. My mama raised me to treat people with the utmost respect even if you don't like them it agree with something. Being a photographer or a model does not give you a free pass to talk to people with disrespect... When you don't have anything nice to say y'all shouldn't say anything at all. And it wasnt as people in a whole. It was meant towards the people who can't say anything nice to anyone and they may it may not know who they are. I sincerely feel sorry for those of you who will continuously be "rude" even on a forum about it Y'all have a good day

Y'all have a good day As I explained earlier, you need to be more specific about what you consider rudeness. Otherwise you're just coming off as passive-aggressive. Vagueness coupled with condescension, doubly so.

Generally, anyone who uses he words "... truth hurts" (or something to that effect) is the worst kind of rude jerk. Usually, they'll be a photographer. 95% of the models I've encountered here have been just as lovely on the inside as out'.

There are many who have made poor choices in their lives. In doing so, they've become very angry, hateful, and lash out at others using the internet. Often times they network with others and will gang up on individuals.
Unfortunately, there are even some moderators who network with them on other sites and will act on their behalf on MM when called on. Not many but a few. Slowly but surely the situation is improving, however.

It's not what you say but how you say it. Most people here and on other places on the Internet would rather talk to you like you're a dumb ass than respect you as if you were a human being. Just like a photographer told me I'm fat when he could have said toning up would help.

I think it comes across as "cute" to some, but you're right... It is mostly rude.
