3 images...MM violation
you need 4

bio incomplete
another violation

Model selection could be better just by getting people from Jerry Springer.


(actually..some good fun house photoshopped images would be better, at least I'd get a good chuckle.)

You have three photos, one less than the requirement to have a membership here.

I think the reason models are giving you the run around is that you have no verbiage on your profile, your communications skills need work and last, but not least, you have only 3 pictures, 2 of them are out of focus and all of them are boring.

Want to get better models? Advertise in Craigslist, take more pictures, focus before you hit the shutter button and stop being a tool.

Your pictures are shit. Your "about me" tells the models nothing.

I wouldn't shoot with you no matter what you paid me.

Oh and when a model says, "No TF" or "Only paid assignments", it means she won't do TF with you. She may do it with other people, but not you. And what she does with others is none of your business.

No bullshit.

Bull Jive Models is an modeling agency that deals in the commercial tractor & farm equipment industry. They use middle-aged & older men, posing alongside late-teen females in daisy dukes, to advertise farming stuff at the local feed store.

It's an agency for girls that don't bullshit the OP and want to trade dumbass pictures that will get them absolutely nowhere.

Cheers.

I have to shower for karaoke soon. I wish the OP would come back.

You only have 3 images, which is 1 less than required.

The images you do have look like they were snapped at a family reunion in a park (this is by no means a slam of the women in the images.  This is a critique of the setting, the lighting, etc).

Your bio on the main page is worded poorly.  Remember, they see what you typed before they see the images, and when they see poor puncuation and grammar, they tend to not go any further.

If you want models to work with you, you need to reinvent yourself from that point on.  A professional wouldn't use slang words and spelling.  Well, they would, but not when they are trying to sell themselves.  Start there.

Look at other people's ports.  Look at their images.  Look at the quality and then look at yours.  If you were a model, whom would you like to take your photo?

Look at how other models and photographers interact.  Learn the art of diplomacy.

If you want to do photography, you have to represent yourself on so many levels to sell yourself, not just relying on the 3 images you do have up.

In all seriousness with rare exception it does not appear that you have anything worth any model's time to shoot with you.

The only 3 images you have listed in you portfolio are merely snapshots, and not good ones at that.  They lack focus or any sense of creativity.  Do you really expect a model to spend several hours with you only to receive that quality of work? 

What you've written (or rather what you have not written) in your profile shows a lack of interest or seriousness towards photography.

Lastly, your lack of professional demeanor in the forums has blown your chance of any model giving you a chance out of pity.

Clean your act up, shell out some $$$ for some decent models, and really put some time into your photography.

Holy Shit! I figured Mr Dyno-Mite  would never grow a pair of cajones, and stick a toe, never mind his crappola portfolio in here for comment, so I go off to dinner. I get back and miss out on the bitch slapping???? As the kids say, NO FAIR!

Or, as Tyler so famously put it!

There are only 3 images--and I think others have made it painfully clear that 4 is the requirement--none of which are particularly interesting. 
The lighting in the first shot is bad, and the model's expression in the third is worse.
The problem with your 'about me' section can be summed up in one word: Grammar.
Perhaps the 3 sub-par photos in your port are flukes--How the hell do I know? Maybe you really are talented--But with those not working as model bait, all you have to try to reel them in with is the 'about me' section.....and after seeing that, it's a tough call what's a bigger turn-off to a model.  If you expressed more about yourself as a photographer (i.e. What your background is, what your ambitions are, your photography likes/dislikes....the list goes on), perhaps a model might be able to overcome their utter disinterest in your portfolio by knowing how your mind works, take a long shot, and work with you.

NEVER... open your bio with "not much to say"

You have nothing interesting about yourself to say? Nothing?  Nothing at all?
