My theory of Model Mayhem.

In any given portfolio of a female model, the picture that gets the most hits is always the one that promises the highest possibility of seeing p***y. The second highest hits go to the photo that has the second highest chance of seeing p***y.

I believe that this is a constant of the online model world, in the same way that the speed of light is a constant of the physical world.

I know that we are all artists and that all of us only enlarge those pictures that have the highest aesthetic quality. Yet my casual study seems to lead to this horrifying conclusion. Most photographers are men and men are driven to enlarge pictures that offer them the highest probability of seeing the organ from which they birthed and  which they always want to revisit (hopefully not the exact same organ). 

Perhaps the more scientific MM members wish to confirm or rebutt the findings of my study.

I know in my port, the image with the highest views is non nude.  On the bottom line are images that were posted about the same, but then again I usually cycle nude shots off if there's no comments or comments run the way some flake from Dublin made, explaining what he'd like to do with the model and all...  There went an image captioned "eyes to die for"...  A couple images may have tilted the scale I suppose had I left them on, but...

If you read the forums you will find that most are not people because they would never have sex or look at nude photos..
Or at least thats what they would have you belive..lol

I am agreeing on this.  My picture with the camera angle coming up from my thighs has over 1,000 views in less than a month.  I get comments though that the lighting and the pose is great but I know people are very curious.  The ones with me fully clothed don't have half as much hits.

I jus looked at your portfolio and the picture that had the highest hits was the one on the bottom of the girl wearing the mask. This picture coincidentally is the one that shows the most p*ssy.

Well, I don't have time to take a random sample right now and analyze the results.  But I'm willing to bet that you're basically correct.  Men are just a bunch of lizards, really.

I'm actually more fascinated by the finer-level workings.  Some models, clothed or not, consistently draw more hits than others.  The same photo, posted on different sites, draws different responses (the nudity thing holds true on average, but on some sites it's a much lesser effect than on MM).

As this site continues to grow, it's going to become harder to stand out from the crowd.  It will be interesting to see what people do to get attention.

Well, you don't have any direct p*ssy shots, but you sure get some hits on your ass pictures...which I believe is runner up to P*ssy. Titties are only third. lol.

Actually I stand corrected the picture of Jen next to the one with the mask does have a higher hit count. Which picture has been posted the longest.

I guess an important addendum to the rule is that the amount of time the picture has been posted clearly effects the results and therefore the equation requires that time of post holds constant.

You do not know how to find the dates the photos were put up, but you will find out in time. However, I would like to congratulate PDX on making an image where a womans face is more captivating than her p*ssy. apparently, that says quite a bit.

I think Lapis is about to correct me and she types faster than me, so therefore I will preempt her by arguing that the pictures in qeustion occurred prior to the basic law of MM being legislated.

Actualy my explanation for this anomaly is that the model or photgrapher fudged the numbers by clicking on their own image. Now I do not believe that this was done with criminal intent to skew the numbers, or to tamper with the results.

Perhaps the photographer or model would care to make a statement.

What about the organs that fed and nurtured us for the first several months of our lives?  I think that's less twisted.

My only photo with a nipple has the fewest views (excepting the most recent uploads).

Of course it's a man nipple...

Yikes is right.

You are beautiful though, and even though you are only 14 you have compelling curves. The bathing suit issue is a 'sticky' one. Girls your age are in Seventeen magazine, and they wear bathing suits...but of course we don't know how many men grab Seventeen to look at teenage girls in swimsuits.

If it helps, you do look a bit older than your age.

It's the same reason Howard Stern is popular.  He's naughty.

Photos in my galleries that get the biggest hits are ones that show some booty smile

Heh, I have some "tricky" photos that when they are small thumbnails, looks like she might naked and you can see her boobs...those have gotten high hits too...I wonder how many were disappointed to see her covered...

Dude - you get no points for the obvious... ha ha ha...  Think of it like this - a primate is walking past a bunch of fruit bearing trees..  Do you think he's gonna climb all the way to the top for the fruit that is probably better (no bugs or pest - just perfectly ripe fruit in all it's glory) - OR - do you think he's gonna go for the low hanging fruit that's in his face and provides instant gratification even though it may not be the best (it's over-ripe has pests, etc.)...  AAhhhhh  - human nature, you gotta love it...

Every portfolio site I'm on has been the same - the most revealing photos have the most clicks - and yes, the most popular members are those with the most revealing photos. And it doesn't matter the quality of the photo, it can look like a webcam self done shoot and that will get more than a more professional commercial or fashion image.
I use to tell myself those clicks came from none members or none-professionals (ok maybe in the adult industry) but sadly I think your horrifying conclusion is correct. And it extends beyond harmless clicking to requests for private/personal work or nude shoots, including from well known fashion or commercial photographers (OMP deleted one such account last week due to compliants from models being inappropriately contacted, this is a photographer that says, "I don't shoot for under $20k" and has that clout). The sad truth is - I'd so love to shoot with them with my clothes on. sad

In the case of Ashley, I think it's just that's the only photo that really shows you full length, not necc. that they can look up your skirt (I hope not)

Visual Artists you are definitely much too young to be posting your opinions. The most important dictum of writing is to:

1. Write about that which you know.
2. If you don't know then research.

I am, at 62, an old fart. Without the services of MM I can get a woman to take her clothes off in my studio in under 10 minutes. Past 60 many old farts are not able to wack off successfully and that can be very frustrating. Most of us (or at least this one) don't.
