:thumbup:RACHEL:cool::cool:
I have been contacted for "porn pictures"...Whether or not we have that spot marked in our portfolios is no reason to be treated like a "meat wagon"...
ESPECIALLY...coming out of the obtrusive blue-- to expect that is just nonsense.


Unfortunately, par for the course throughout the entire industry, not just on-line. At least, over the internet, there is a higher level of recourse and a paper trail in that emails are savable. It does not solve the problem nor prevent such approaches, but at least they cannot reach their hands through a computer screen and grab you, or put a model's career at risk for refusal as I have seen happen outside of the cyber world. Is the internet system perfect? No, and I doubt it will ever be. But internet modeling is new and, as we experience new things we can evolve and move to fix and patch the holes that allow such crass behavior to exist. We are at a point in time with a technology that yes, is forty years old, but is relatively young as far as worldwide exposure is concerned. People enjoy the anonymity of the web and even victims often are loath to give up that anonymity. This makes filtering out the scum difficult and puts more of a responsibility on potential victims to remain suspicious of everyone, be ever vigilant and to report inappropriate advances.

It can become rather annoying to find stereotypical attitudes--:upset:
Some girls are escorts...And some may consider certain types of modest nudes ADULT material--That doesn't mean that you are a XXX player...So those type of guys should be re-educated in their synopsis, before engaging their testosterone mentality..
Enough READ BULL>:muscle:
TAKE >CARE --GIRLS;)


I quite agree with you. A model states her limits and in no way shape or form should a photographer, scout, agent, etc. pressure a model to push those limits. There is an argument that there is nothing wrong with asking a model to consider expanding the stated limits. To me, however, this indicates that the person making the request assumes the model is too dumb to consider expanding limits on his/her own. Pressure is never welcome by anyone. If a model decides to do nude or even XXX, that should be a personal decision absent of outside pressures. Perhaps an agent or scout might say it is their job to advise talent of opportunities, even above and beyond stated limits, but the manner of approach needs to be carefully considered and definitely, any scout or agent on this site should not be approaching minors. Minimal research, as should be done by any scout or agent, will give you the posted age of any model profile. Besides...I think something is mentally wrong with anyone who believes that a model will up limits for a perfect stranger, no matter how many emails have been exchanged.

PS ALL healthy men like looking at women...BUT the approach and treatment & respect given to my gender is what separates the classy men, from the pond scum...
To answer the Models' vortex TEXT & Ursa Minor Question{>
NO, NO, & ABSOLUTELY NOT... THERE ARE GOOD MEN STILL ON THE PLANET--
Maybe not as plentiful as one would wish.:cantlook:

I have been told there is a good man in the Vatican. And he rides around in a bullet and bomb proof glass bubble to keep all the ladies from rushing him! :shocked::D:D:D:saint:


Andromeda V1:

But then, how many men have been treated like sex machines by women?

It seems as though we have recycled this particular discussion so many times on this site---- Fortunately, we have chased many of the "old pervs" back to wherever they crept in from. Thank god for that-- but it is obvious that some still remain. I myself questioned the actions of one individual... the response was quite amazing. Many in the forum became enraged and ranted about such an inquiry. Thank goodness that whole episode is over--However, but we must still question those who appear inappropriate and kindly ask that they move on....

You are right when you say that most of the men here are prev.. All that I can say is to be careful and try to avoid such people.

Common sense tells us that not all men are pervs--that's obvious. However,it appears that certain personality types visit these kinds of websites. Unfortunately, many of those personality types tend to have only goal in mind. Look through the archieves (if that is possible) you will see this issue over and over again. We seem to have more than our fair share here.

Rachel C, I noticed in your profile you are a member of 'Flirtzone'.

Your profile states: "My purpose is: Socializing,Long Term Dating". If you are not interested in being approached by men on Jurgita, it looks like you are sending out the wrong message.
:dunno:

I've sent e-mails to other models on this site, but that's only because I like chatting with people. I also like to complement them on good jobs.

We have said many times that is NOT what Rachael means guys. She is simply stating a fact, ---------- many here seem to have intentions other than modeling on their minds-------------Even if she does participate in the flirt zone--SO WHAT..you need to read what her interests are...Don't just assume she wants someone hitting on her or asking for pictures . As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure that if she was interested in someone (although she is not , she has a boyfriend) she would be the one contacting others. I have had many emails that were not appropriate, just as she has. We both feel that there are way too many men here that are not interested in work.. that's what so many people have been complaining about for months now...

I expect Carib has covered the ground pretty well. I cheerfully admit that I love beauty and I'm likely to tell a model that she's made some good shots. Despite my typical male reactions, I also comment when I feel someone has crossed over the lines we must maintain here. As much as I might like to look, this is a site I hoped would promote professionalism and encourage new generations of photographers and models, as well as other related professionals in fashion and design.

That whole flirt and "be my friend" thing has always seemed awkward to me. It would be very difficult to be "friends" with a teenager. If they have talent, then I can encourage them to use it, but otherwise I've got too many miles traveled to step back and try to relate to someone who has no idea what's in store for them.

On the other hand, this is a public site and there are pictures posted that draw viewers who only want to browse for reasons that have nothing to do with professionalism. Even having a paid membership level doesn't screen out some of those. When you are harrassed in the way you've mentioned, you have to report the offender--but understand that a third party might review the situation and see it somewhat differently than you do. We have many cultures represented here, some of which have a more open attitude to sexual mores than the US or the UK (although after seeing UK newspapers during the last two weeks, I'm not sure that we have that much in common).

Just keep squeaking, someone will oil the wheel, sooner or later.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

I'm sorry the male race is like this.

Please note I'm here to build up my portfolio at the same time help some models build their portfolio and help them find work (if possible).

I really do hope this doesn't put people off replying to my call 'models for photos'. I'm not just looking for female models either I want some male models. I have some really sweet ideas that I'm working on and hopefully this will eventually translate to money for all.

once again I apologize for how immature the male race can be.

thx

I think the best is either to ignore these guys or if they keep on pestering you to report them to Jurgita with the offending mail as evidence. Getingt them kicked of the site is about the best solution then. We men are also being targeted lately with all kinds of proposals. I just ignore them, it is easy enough.

I agree with the one above who said that the "Flirt Zone" seems awkward. If you want to be on this site as a professional and take it seriously then you don't need to be part of the flirt zone, plain and simple. If you make yourself available on the flirt zone, no matter orientation, then you are sending out the message that you aren't here to just model but to look for relationships also.

So you decide. Are you here to model or to date? If you are here to do both, fine, but don't complain if you get unwanted messages.

That said, many guys put a camera in their hands just so they can take pictures of pretty girls. They join photography sites hoping to get the chance to get a nekkid girl in front of them so they can press that button on top of the camera and use the images later. It's a sad fact that makes our industry look bad.

[b]I may have been lucky but I only get a few nonsense messages.

On the contrary, a number of the Jurgita folks that contacted me led to actual shoots, and even one small ad I did.[/b]

Hi Rachel. I'm surprised at your sarcastic remark. I was trying to be helpful by replying to your original post where you seem upset that you are being approached in an unwanted way. I understand you have a boyfriend etc, however if a guy sees you, thinks you are attractive, sees you are a member of the (in my opinion) unfortunately named 'Flirt'zone, and that your purpose is 'long term dating', then it is likely that he will send you a message, thinking that is what you want.

Maybe you should take out the 'Flirtzone purpose' of long term dating. Or maybe you should resign from Flirtzone.

The fact is that there are all sorts of people out there that we don't want to come into contact with, and a model advertising herself on the internet has to take some precautions to protect herself.
:dunno:

well i've been friends with a few amature female models from several sites here in belgium so i can only speak of this country lol

it seems when ever there is a modeling site you find pervs looking for fresh blood
and admit it or not ... the best place for such pervs to look for some fresh blood is in this kind of work ... most girls are just new inhere and don't know what to expect and alot of guys are great talkers and let them believe that they can help them in return of something els ... some girls believe that and that's why i guesse you still find alot of pervs onn these kind of sites

buth don't think you as girl is the only one that have these kind of problems
...
most photographers that shoot with guys are gay ... and they aren't that diffirent then those other pervs you talk abouth lol

almost never haved a shoot with a photographer that didn't want something more

...
