Male Models As Boyfriends

[asianhunky]

im one model myself and i just get so pissed when i hear from people that male models have an attitude only martyrs can bear.that male models are more vain than the female ones. that male models care nothing but their body, hair and stuff..and blah, blah, blah...
well, i am not and i believe that there are tons of male models out there who are "cowboys" and normal.
i can live without my comb and mirrors are just mirros and not life's need.
i go to the gym to keep myself fit and not to do the "hey, look at me, look at me!i'm a moh-dhel".
and my gf and i have been together for 8 years and i dnt think she has problems of me being a model.
models only look arrogant when they are on the ramp. it is our job to project the "air" when we are on the ramp. that models are different and the clothes are perfect. thats it. off ramp, we're but normal guys who play basketball or take the MRT to get somewhere.
we're nie too and girls should consider dating models too...not because most of us are pretty but because we are well-mannered and humans as well.

[jawawy]

I agreeee, definitely:cool:

this is food for thought.

more power to male models like you...;)

[explicit]

well i heard differently. they say many male models are gays. not that there's anything wrong with being homo.

:shrug:

[Sweetkay]

the thing with other people is they tend to generalize and that sucks. i'm a model too and people automatically assume that i'm an airhead and it hurts.

more power to you and your gurl. :)

i salute you!

[cheri]

well, the reason behind why other people think that models are airheads is probably because they haven't met one who isn't...much less, they probably haven't met one for that matter!

models are as human as you and me...the difference lies on the fact that they are more exposed and their privacy invaded, which is nothing short of a fish in an aqaurium.

we have no right to judge them, in the same way that we don't have the right to judge the rest of humanity. ;)

[asianhunky]

it is but clear that not all odels are just airheads and dumbos.i can presume that people who shared their thougts here are either models or have models as friends or significant others or are just intelligent people who believes that we should not judge other people.
i hope to meet one of u one of these days. take care. :)

[poorpinoygolfer]

i see...

You're not vain...uhmmm...but you can't help yourself fom broadcasting that you're a "hunky"?!?!?

My point is that when you're in an online community where assumptions and generalizations are made just from looking at an avatar, or from the nick, and moreso from the content of your posts, you have to be careful about how you project yourself.

Now if I happened to be a pinoy version of Hugh Jackman, and I were a model, and I wanted to prove that I'm not an airhead, then I would definitely NOT use a nick that screams "I have a beautiful body and that's the truth!!!" And I would definitely NOT just post some message that praises the benefits of using cetaphil, urea lotion, iterax and loradex on my face (http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php3?s=&postid=1317984#post1317984) if didn't want to be misinterpreted as vain. I'd also post in threads that have nothing to do with vanity, or with modelling, because that indicates that I have no hidden agenda that I would hope would ultimately allow me to bag more chicks. And I'd use some neutral nick like Maurice.

See you in the Realm of Thought forum or wherever, my friend. Show us what you're made of.

[asianhunky]

the nick is for fun not to brag that i am a hunk or whatever. if thats how u perceive it, cnt do anything. ( whew! some people talaga! kaya d umaasenso ang pinas eh!)
loradex and iterax are oral medicine ( people dnt put that on their face) for people who suffer atopic dermatitis...and i am one of them. urea lotion and cetaphil products are definite for people who suffer the same skin problems too(and for those who have very sensitive skin). those are not for vanity my friend. na-ah, not for vanity.
i not need to prove myself to you or to anyone.
i dnt receiev any "comission" from suggesting these products for it has helped me recover from SEVERE ATOPIC DERMATITIS. u were blessed with perfect skin thats why u arent aware of how important these products are to me.
if u were to look like Hugh and u wish not to brag it...then dnt.
if u were not blessed with good looks...ummm, just have a good day!
take care and try to lessen your bitterness against models:D

Thank you for enlightening us. Please be reassured that I am not posting in this thread because I have something against you models, nor because I would like to slow down economic growth. You need not prove yourself to anyone, I agree.

All I am saying is that if you can talk the talk, then you should walk the walk.

Life is all about perceptions, my friend. Our behavior is solely dependent on how we perceive our environment to be. It's what drives the economy, and it's also paying for your lunch. I know you know this: models exist because they give consumers an image of how they want to be perceived -- as beautiful individuals who have want they want.

A person's desire to have a Corolla Altis begins not because they have heard that it has torque of so-and-so, but because they want to be like Brad Pitt cruising down a traffic-bogged street. You guys get paid because you look good, and people buy the products that are associated with you because they want to look as good as you (even I do).

I hope I have changed your perceptions as much as you have changed mine. In essence, we're both nice guys anyway. Good day.

[fountainpen]

A former co-worker of mine used to be the gf of a male model for four steady years. We really liked the guy, he was so well-mannered and the kind you can introduce to your parents. He wasn't vain in the least bit -- I suppose that's in the projection. On days when he wasn't off on a shoot or a show he'd just wear old Levis and any old shirt (of course he made them look real stylish).

It didn't last not because of him, but because of our friend's incessant insecurity about him. She was very pretty and very intelligent and not very sosyal (which was why he loved her so much), but towards the end she got obsessively jealous for no reason whenever he started getting overseas assignments. Naturally other girls would try to put the make on him. I think it's because he wasn't interested in other girls, because he loved our friend. She turned psycho on him. Her brothers and the rest of us friends were aghast. The last time he met with us, it was after they broke up and he said, it was like she never knew him or trusted him at all. Before I transferred to another job, she asked me, "You think I made a mistake?" I told her, "Your decision. Live with it, or move on."

About the vanity... hindi ba modelling is work. Ergo you take care of the body parts that make money for you, Youth being the limited resource it is. As to the nick, it is quite cheesy among a number of equally cheesy nicks owned by other people, but hey, it's only for fun as you pointed out, asianhunky . But don't you think it's PRECISELY the kind of nick guaranteed to get the attention of a certain percentage of PEXERs? Just my two centavos.

[asianhunky]

thanks for sharing your thoughts.
thanks too for enlightening me.
"asianhunky" has been the name i have used like forever. it was never an issue in the states...but i am now in the Philippines. things are different. well, if this nick is offensive to anybody out there, i am so sorry. i mean no harm. it's all for fun.
and the nick dsnt get me attention from anybody. others have more "fun" names than i do like "Pinakagwapo" and stuff.
modelling is pretty difficult i would say. it's not like i just stand there, look strong and rich and cute and devilish and naughty or animalistic or look like so perfect. it's difficult. believe me. it's a source of stress. u get stressed before u go the location coz u aint sure as to what to wear. u get stressed that maybe, just maybe the designers require models to wear thongs underneath the "creations" as to not to destroy it with "brief-lines". believe me...thongs are not nice to wear. being a model means birthdays aint good. that means u are getting older. ur "market value" declining. models these days are as young as 13 and getting more goodlooking and a lot desireable.
anyway, i feel bad for your friend. we aint sure if the guy did remain loyal but at least she could have checked if he really was. i completely understand that having a model as a bf aint easy. my girl complains a lot especially when i do shoots and shows that requires flesh.
but anyway, models as bf aint that bad. models arent promiscous and it's a lie that we can get anybdoy we want.w a reputation that we are all dumbos...believe me, people just gasp whenever i talk with a lot of sense.
do take care and i hope i can meet all of u who took time to write.. i think PEX is a place to make friends. lets meet one of these days.
:) :)
:rolleyes: :)

[eileen_m]

pero for me, i think, mejo nakaka-insecure naman yun kasi bf ko for example, has a well defined sculpture or sumthing

tsaka feel ko ***** maagaw *** sakin or sumthing

pero cyempre i would feel flattered that he still chose me, and also feel proud of him

sumthing like that

for me, k lang yon

[pexman]

If any PExer's gonna meet you, you're going to have dress down in a major way, especially if you're as goodlooking and chunky-wunky as you've implied you are so far.

The worst part about being an ordinary mortal human being meeting up with a "remp mow-dehl" in a public place is the annoying prospect of getting unwanted attention. My cousin's good friend, for instance, is a minor celebrity, and it just irritates her when they go to the mall and people stare.

Many of us have the impression that models operate on a different plane of existence, and who could blame us? About the only time we get to see them is when their visages get splashed on magazine ads and fashion spreads, or when they do the ramp. Very few people get the chance to know a professional model from the ground up.

The challenge, asianhunky is to strip off every preconception that every model is an organic always-perfect brainless mannequin, especially from people who haven't had the chance to know people like you for real. Because it's most likely that down the line, you'll end up with new friends who're used to the lifestyle you lead, or who don't have the preconceptions in the first place.

But, still, it would be great knowing the real you. I'm sure you'll find a lot of cool people here with whom you can hang out with.

Cheerios! Welcome to PEX!

[BCBGirl]

well to anyone who decided to be the public's property, may it be in modeling or showbiz, just be prepared to be judged constantly. You can't control how people would perceive u. It's entirely up to u if u let their opinions affect u. :)

As for having male models as boyfriends.. hmm.. why not? I like to date guys to be at least 4 inches taller than me.. coz i'm tall too. :D That would leave me room to wear heels! hehe ;)

Well said, bro. Well said.

You fight for us and our kind, okay?

And don't feel sad. Think about it this way, if a girl likes you and eventually loves you for what's inside, she'll be rewarded with the nice face and body that goes along with it.

Hear! Hear!

[asianhunky]

thanks everyone for taking the time to write.
nope, i never said that i am all goodllooking and stuff. i guess u guys forgot that i suffer from atopic dermatitis and i mainly depend on body foundation to cover the major flaw.
i never ever said too that i am a celebrity or something. i am a total nobody. been here in manila for a few months and i model to earn extra cash...and not to "escalate" myself.
to be part african-spanish-korean-filipino is not at all a hunky image. see me and i am sure u will then laugh with me for using "asianhunky" as a nick. as i have said...it's all for fun.
thanks for those who told me not to get affected by other people's opinions. that i must be constatntly reminded that these people dnt buy my lunch. i just had that issue 2 days ago and it's refreshing to be reminded about it again. as to what issue, i'll share soon.
i hangout with 2 guys and 1 girl who all stand at 5'4 and they have been the nicest people around. i dnt ONLY hangout with MODELS. i befriend people who are nice(and i dnt care if they are rich or not, famous or not) and i find pleasing ( i mean, it's a waste of time to be friends with people who are big hypocrites and rude to waiters).
as to the challenge, i need not do that. all i have to do is to be myself. wont change a single thing about myself.
as to meeting up with PEXERS, i will wear normal clothes for these are what i wear in my everyday life. i dnt exert effort in looking like a "mawdel" everyday. i just be myself. if a scout spots me, then thats more rewarding for i was very natural looking. besides, i came here in manila shocking just everybody for the luggage i used was the smallest one has ever seen.
there u go.
have a great day and again, thanks!
:) :cool: :cool:

haha BCBGirl, I know who u r!:D Very well said.. Well to all the models out there, GOOD LUCK!:cool: Just be true to yourself and to hell what everyone else think of you, and just prove them wrong then. :D

[asianhunky]

it sure makes me feel good whenever u people write. take care and keep on writing.;)

[rampage]

GUYS- WHETHER THEY LOOK GOOD ENOUGH TO HAVE THEIR FACES PLASTERED IN BILLBOARDS OR UGLY ENOUGH TO STOP TRAFFIC- CAN HAVE SERIOUS ATTITUDE PROBLEMS, EMPTY HEADS AND BAD RELATIONSHIP HABITS.

THE WAY YOU LOOK IS A GENETIC ACCIDENT, ENHANCED MAYBE BY TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF. IT IS UNFAIR TO JUDGE PEOPLE ON ACCOUNT OF THE WAY THEY LOOK- AFTER ALL, ITS JUST PACKAGING.AND MODELLING IS A JOB- YOU HAVE TO LOOK THE PART.

IVE DATED TWO GUYS WHO MODEL.ONE OF THEM WAS A BRAIN-DEAD SOCIAL CLIMBER WITH BAD GRAMMAR AND A PAINFULLY TACKY PERSONALITY. HE WAS GOOD TO HAVE ON YOUR ARM, JUST DONT MAKE HIM TALK MUCH.:lol:

THE OTHER ONE WAS INTELLIGENT, WELL-BRED AND ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE. HE WAS PROOF THAT NOT ALL MODELS ARE POMPOUS, VAIN PEOPLE. HE'S MARRIED NOW AND IM THE NINANG OF HIS DAUGHTER.

SO YOU SEE,ONLY IDIOTS WOULD CATEGORIZE PEOPLE WHO MODEL AS ARROGANT AND ALL THAT. I HAVE SEEN HIDEOUS MEN WHO ARE GULITY OF THE SAME SH!T. MAS BAD TRIP YON!:lol:

PEOPLE WHO LABEL MODELS ARE THE UGLY IMBECILES WHO CAN NEVER GET WHAT YOU ALREDY HAVE.;)

[CollegeKid]

wow. ok yun ah.
hi asianhunky

:flamer:

[asianhunky]

you talk with a lot of SENSE rampage! totally! any guy u would date sure will be lucky for i think u are a very strong and intelligent lady. :toohappy:

WHY THANK YOU ASIANHUNKY!:) I WOULD NOT HAVE POSTED WHAT I POSTED IF I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE WITHOUT THE GRAY MATTER. THE FACT THAT THIS STEREOTYPE BOTHERS YOU MEANS YOU CARE ABOUT MORE THAN THE WAY YOU LOOK IN THE RUNWAY.

HEY CONG! DIDJA HEAR THE MAN? YOURE LUCKY CAUSE IM SO STRONG AND SMART! :lol:

DONT THINK ON IT ANYMORE DUDE, ANY PERSON WHO JUDGES YOU SO UNFAIRLY IS NOT WORTH THE ATTENTION.;)

[vhok_nhoy]

i'm a model too but unlike asianhunky i'm not the type who would leave my mirror and comb at home. modelling, for me, goes beyond the limits of the ramp. it has become a vocation that needs to be projected in my everyday life.

sometimes first impressions can demand respect...but i'm much more than that...much more.

i believe that mirrors and combs do make people look good but they shouldn't affect the things inside...the things that really count.

[keener]

baka kasi most of them are seen with a lot of girls palagi.. paiba iba pa...

Kindredd: i know where metropolis is coz an agent approached me before to do a VTR there, but I never got around to go. :) How long have u been with them? You know Rose Montenegro? She used to be with Metropolis right? I know she's with Xpose now eh.

jeez. what a small world. i've been with them for 2 years now. no big deal.

i know a couple of girls named rose. i'm not sure which one you're referring to. one got sent back from italy coz she cut her hair short. she had to wait til it grew back. poor girl.

if you have other questions, send it via PM. don't post 'em here.

[asianhunky]

hows everyone doing?
i am very happy that everyone had the time to write.
yup, i am one guy who would go out and head the mall wearing only my worn out shirt, old jeans and my leather shoes for 5 1/2 years.
sometimes it feels so "free" when u go out and not mind if u look "mah-de-ly". having all those foundation and stuff on your face and all those gel and stuff sure would make one feel that he is so trapped.
modelling i agree is a tough job. however, i also believe that such does not require everyday effort to look so good and gorgeous.:sunnysmile:

;) :p :cool:

hi asianhunky and collegekid

[asianhunky]

been here in manila for less than 6 months and until now, i still dnt have my own things. i rent a room (yup, just a room. kinda big though. good for 3)with a queen size bed, a double-deck bed, a big table, a cassette player, electric fan,exahsut fan, bathroom and an enormous cabinet that i dnt get to use since the freaky landlady has all her stuff in it. i pay P4500.00 every month, P100 for the ref-rent and P500 for both the electric and water. the place sure has a good location.the freaky landlay lives in front of the house but she is so "chismosa" and she has the worst manners of all time. she lets her maid live in our house's bodega. no kidding. bodega. the village has 2 exits: one to makati-mandaluyong bridge ( which goes all the way to mkti ave to glorietta and the other exit to mandaluyong: taking the tricycle would lead u to the shaw blvd mrt station for a P30.00 fee). the place is not classy at all. totally. it's a housing project of Marcos during those times.
sorry i just had to share this people but i just wanashare how difficult it is to be here in manila.
thats why too collegekid that i dnt get to reply for i dnt have my computer pa.
take care everyone.
:) :) ;)

[bepanthene]

They're okay... nothing special about them, just guys with jobs. :D I had a bf who was one (well before he made it big) and he wanted to get married but of course, we were too young so I didn't want to. He got mad at me but I think my decision was the right thing..especially now that he's doing well for himself. God, I'm such a martyr.. hehehe j/k

as far as i know, metropolis and xpose don't have websites as of now. :)

[asianhunky]

:rotflmao:
i suggest that u visit ad agencies and get them have a vtr of yours.
ask around. im sure you also have some model friends out there.
u dnt need to go to a prestigious modelling agency to make a career. my agency is not at all famous but most of us usually get projects. like for this week alone, i have 2 definite projects na for him.
just ask aorund.
one more thing, an agent may not be japorms and evrything but believe me, it's usually them who have good connections.
good luck :bounce2:

I'm going out with a male model right now.Yes,he's a beautiful person outside and inside.Funny thing is,siya pa yung insecure.Ako naman feeling ko 'Beauty & the Beast' kami.Siya yung beauty ako yung beast.:lol:

I didn't even know he's a model til' I saw his face on a General Pants (a clothing shop in Sydney that carries Mossimo,Levi's etc. labels) catalougue.He kind of looks like an everyday person to me but with the "it" factor.How he became a model?He was spotted by an agent at a shopping centre.

Despite of what he does he remains to be so down-to-earth.He never brags of being a model.Besides he's more than just a beautiful face and body.He's very smart and talented.

hi collge kid. nah, it wasnt really my bday. it's this month though.
take care everyone :beam: :verycool: :cheers:

hey asianhunky!:) were u referring to boy_crazy? anyway, if u were, she's with an agency already - Cal Carrie's.

Anyway, so r u more of a freelance model? Or do u have an exclusive contract with an agency? How is it different? And which one is better? Just wanna know your opinion on it. Yeah I'm very much interested in modeling. :D I have an agency already. I used to do it part-time coz of school, but now I'm doing it full-time.

[CollegeKid]

asianhunky.. i thought it was your birthday!! hehe.... so when's your birthday.... (libre mo naman ako sa bday mo) pls///

[alain]

just dropin by... are you people goin to the UP model search? hello sweetkay..long time ha??

[asianhunky]

thanks for the info.
cal carrie's a strong agency i must say.
anyway, i dnt have an eclusive contract but my agent sure takes care of us very well. no signing was done yet.
it's good in a sense that u are free to do what u wanna do. accepting projects is easy on your part coz u need not consult your agent/manager.
have been in a contract before and it was a good experience too. everything is clear and there's this feeling that someone is indeed goona give u projects.
im pretty open to being signed into an agency but with the projects i get from my manager, i guess i'll stick to being a freelance model as of now.
both of us standby our word. 30 % is 30%. i always make it a point that he gets it asap. thats the good thing with him being a manager: our agreements may not have been put into document but he trusts me and i trust him as well.
choose a good agent. :blush:

[alain]

thanks for the good advise... hope to get lucky...on that go-c

[marloni]

who gives a fuk>....

[willa]

asianhunky: yeah Cal Carrie's really takes good care of their talents. :) If they feel that you're still a bit shy infront of the cameras, they'd let you take acting workshops. The agency has a training division, in which Electrika (MTV VJ Sarah Meier's mom & a popular international model in the 70s) is the directress. They also have a LOT of bookers.

Sometimes having an exclusive contract just feels a bit binding. A lot of people are dictating what you should or should not do - they mean well though. My friend was even told to put her lovelife on hold because the agency feels it will just get in the way of her career. :(

[asianhunky]

hey Lost tag, i got "spotted" here in manila when me and my housemate bought fish ball along makati ave. 2 girls and 1 guy approached me and asked me to pose for a print ad. then the next time was when a health and fitness magazine crew spotted jogging along rockwell mall then came my agent who saw me eat at g4 choices.
but i started back in my province when i spotted buying hilaw na mangga sa street wearing my butas butas "sando" and worn out shorts.
my getting "discovered" are but what we call "luck". believe me. i aint gwapo. im dark and i possess curly hair. i used to be bald too. sometimes, when u least expect it, things happen.
u take care
and im pretty glad for you sweet. more power to both of you. and hello there collge kid.
and to you marloni...try to be a littl jolly. :D

thank you asianhunky!!!...... asianhunky... wats ur cel no.? and real name?

[asianhunky]

hey there everyone
why do u want my # collegekid?
we can communicate here sa PEX.
peace!:cool:

[tranquil]

willa: :wave: surprise! this forum thingy is cool! thanks for introducing it to me. haha.. :glee: i just love these smilies! anyway, tama bang i-post mo dito yung love life ni ____? hahaha!! AND why didn't u comment on the topic "male models as boyfriends"?? tsk tsk :p haha I'm sure you'd have a lot to say about it!

ok.. as for male models as bfs, just like what bepanthene wrote, they r just like any other person with jobs. i'm just against it coz of the whole incompatibility of schedule issue - like if you're free, he's not and when he's free, you're not. Models have the craziest schedules ever - totally unpredictable! I'm the type of person pa naman who'd want my significant other to be around when I need him and he's not in some other country flashing his pearly whites. Oohh and I also hate when other girls are raising their eyebrows at u when they see u with ur male model bf and then few minutes later they r giggling and tossing their hair infront of his face, y'know flirting!!:rolleyes: It's just too much stress and pressure that I'd rather not have. Too complicated. I guess that's why I feel relationships like that never do work. :(

[CollegeKid]

I just wanna talk someone on the phone. Thats it
:angel:

[asianhunky]

sorry to know that models as bf can be a headache. i claim im not and i hope my gf perfectly agrees with it. my gf dnt seem to have that much prob for i dnt look like a conventional model who's meztizzzzzzo and pretty. im dark and i have strong features. a friend would always tell me that im not gwapo but im just lucky i look different(thats why i get to model)...saying it in a nice way instead of telling me that i look weird.
siguro if i was gorgeous, my gf would have the same probs. good thing im not.
but i will remind everyone: not all male models are what u think of. we are but "cowboys" as well.
:D

[joe28]

dba models & models go hand in hand? as in male models only go 4 female models only? & what is your age bracket b4 you'll be accepted as models?

[asianhunky]

:director:you are wrong , joe. models dnt only prefer models. in fact u seldom see two models together:ladiesman:. i dnt why but i dnt dig the idea of me dating another model especailly if i have worked with her:cheerleader:. it's like u fish in your pond man:bluefish: :blowfish:.i dnt know.
to your aother question, models get younger everyday. even a 12 yr old kid can be seen doing ramp shows. i dnt know. i guess the newer generation is alot taller and more beautiful to the old ones or even or the present. :fork_off:
chill:dj:

[CollegeKid]

hey asianhunky how r u?

:geek:

IDEALLY, you should be at least 5'8 to do ramp. It's kinda a must to have a skinny frame so you'd be able to wear whatever's available. Standard sizes are usually Extra small or small to medium. Like your vital stats should be around 32-24-34.. Oh btw, r u male or female?? Well, I'm talking about for women ok? I'm not at all familiar with the ideal stuff for males. I could ask. Anyway, you should have an expressive eyes and lips and pronouced cheekbones. For the international circuit, you should be at least 5'9... But it really depends with your so-called X-Factor. I mean look at Kate Moss.. she's only 5'6".

For commercials, you can be short or tall, fat or skinny.. it just depends with the project. If you have the look that the client is looking for then you'd be a shoo in for that project.

You should have a good skin, hair, and a well-proportioned body. It's important to keep your skin flawless. Also, you should know how to project and act... that helps a great deal. More importantly, you should be confident, disciplined, professional, and patient!! Modeling is not all about glamour.. it's hard work too! GOOD LUCK!! :beam:

[asianhunky]

willa is right.let me talk about the male requirements this time.
waistline: 30-32. 33 is kinda k but 34 is a no-no. but if u really got the look, designers wont mind.
body frame: designers nowadays like the waiffy look even among guys. but the toned and lean type is the perfect body frame for male models now.
height: at least 5'10. some models though who's got a very pretty face stand at 5'8 to 5'9 so dnt fret. those too who has a strong "character" gets to do ramp as well.

i started modelling when i was 14 and i was toned and lean...however the market wanted buff guysin the early 90's so i lifted weights(yes, i did at 14!). now, i am considered big for a model for the look right now is thin among men. the market changes so be fleixble too. the rules wont apply always and u gotta be ready for it. it's an unforgiving line of work.

my guy model friends do 4-5 hours of cardio to be thin for they said it's what the market wants now. a friend even said that male models embrace the androgenous look now.
good luck.
attend vtrs and stuff and almost remember that we all have to start from the scratch.

by the way, i was takling about ramp modelling only.

[trisha jimenez]

I had flings before who're male models... i guess they're not bf materials... you'll just fall in love with them bcause of their bods or looks. that's it. coz i believe that they're all 2 timers... or more...

[asianhunky]

i feel bad that u see male models that way, trisha.
but just to let u know, i aint blessed with the perfect bidy and with the killer looks so my girl ddnt fall for me only for those things that u have mentioned. she fell in love with me for she saw how hardworking i am and how sincere i am for the past eight ( yes, thats 8) years and and 3 months.
though i will agree that some model friends of time are but ego-trippers ( having girlfriends everywhere...trying to compete with the number of Mercury drug branches in the Phil) but i beg to disagree that most of us are.
:)

[joe28]

OK!OK! I got your point! I'm wrong & your right man!!! I'm just asking question! btw I'm not a man! ever known a lady with a man's nickname? m looking for a date, anyone? :rolleyes: :p

[milesv]

good for you asianhunky to be a model...

actually, am aspiring to be one, but i think i jst have to settle with just watchin you guys do the strut... hehehe

nways, no problem about the conception of male models who are presumed to be "d|mw|ts". well, this is just a misconception as most of the models who are part of showbiz are more of "the not so gifted talker," that's why peeps think of the models in general as of the same stuff..

i jst wana raise an issue up.. remember the JOJO VELOSO tapes, since it had been exposed, it jst verified peeps opinion about power tripping in the modellin arena, have somebody encountered such problems?

[wearrinse]

I dont see anything wrong with having a Male model as boyfriend for one they are human, secondly they eat three times a day with basically the same foods that we eat (not unless your into dieting just like me) third they also deficate which makes them no exception to us and lastly they also have feelings which can vary from being happy to being sad.

I would feel very lucky to have a Male model boyfriend or should I say I'll be proud to have one. Actually for me if one of my suitors is a model well and good if not ok pa rin coz I believe that everyone should be given chances and I also believe in faith, If my faith is to have a Male model boyfriend then its a good thing if not, fine still. I guess and through experience its even harder to have a boyfriend pa nga if your a female model kasi most smaller guys (referring to height) get intimidated by my height. Not to mention there are those na hindi naman kagwapuhan di ba? So basically talagang pogi points pa nga kung Male Model ka coz you have the height, the pysique, and the face value. (hope you get me)

Personally I believe that whatever negative about a certain guy for this matter wont affect me much coz I dont know him. And not knowing would mean nothing right? Everyone should be given the chance to let others know who they really are, by that time you can judge them anyway you want. And when it comes to love it doenst need to know who or what you are..... (did I make sense? hope so?....)

Goodluck to you Asianhunky! More power to your chosen career!

[asianhunky]

thanks for writing.
and yeah, u do make sense. modelling though aint my major career. it's like a second job for easy money ( even when it takes other gaencies 9 months to pay you like McCanEricson ( i dnt even know their company's spelling). it's still easy money though.
yeah, i definitely agree with you that male models are not to be judged.
i was asked once why i satrted this thread. asked if i dnt get to meet girls.....believe me--in this unforgiving line of work...u meet a lot of people! beautiful and ugly!rich and trying to be rich and nice and trying to be nice.go tell them wearrinse! the reason why i started this thread is to basically share my sentiments that male models feel bad that we are generalized as vain, arrogant and dumb!...which of course hurt for it aint true!
whew! take care everyone

hey college kid, how are u doing dude?

[tranquil]

Models are just victims of stereotypes. There's a bunch of characters out there. There are the nice ones, the snobs, the shy types, the extroverted people, the friendly ones, etc. Just because one person is a model, it doesn't mean he/she instantly falls into the category of being a "2 timer" or "dimw|t". I admit there are some models out there who DO fall under such categories. I mean, there'll always be a rotten egg in the bunch - just like any group or profession. On the brighter side of things, there are A WHOLE LOT of models too who are more than the image they project.

I still don't agree with having male models as boyfriends for personal reasons, but that doesn't mean male models are bad boyfriends. Actually, most of my male model friends are really sweet and down-to-earth. :)

Balita ko, ur next sa NUDE session.

[aNaNDa_MaRGa]

male models are usually stereotyped as gays or better yet, they are known for the many women that they hang out with. my cousin was once dating a male model and their relationship was a brief one. i once believed that these guys are arrogant and proud. but once i was introduced to my cousin's model boyfriend, i changed my view on the matter. he was warm and compassionate. not that i had actually liked him, i just admired him. let's just bear in mind that these guys are humans and they have personalities and attitudes and feelings. :bow:

[vhok_nhoy]

does anyone know Mr. Enzo Tanedo??

... he looks like a model, he's from admu too,i see him almost everyday but i haven't really got the chance to ask him if he does the ramp..

[asianhunky]

hows everyone doing here?
nude sessions?nah, one girl asked for my number but never heard from her. i guess the plan ddnt push thru.
im looking for people who do photography as a hobby.wanna update my portfolio.they could use me as their subject and i can use their shots for my book. 2 has replied...but it was all games for them. lucky of me to double check if they were indeed serious about it.
well, take care everyone and thanks to ananda for reminding everyone that models are humans as well.

[asianhunky]

i was asked by 3 persons as to how i look and how i got to model.
first of all, i think it because of luck. i was spotted in malate by 2 guys and 1 girl (and they all had the same height) one sat night. they were looking for a dark guy who has toasted skin. from then on i got to do fashion shows here in mla.
i am not goodlooking but i guess it's my being part korean-african-filipino mix makes me model here.
i am having diffuclty in modelling here in mla for i am not thin like the new batch of models. i started when i was 14 ( 1994) and that time it was the palakihan ng katawan time. i must admit that i look kinda early nineties and this is one hard fact i should take. i dnt look like the new batch of models but i am surviving though.
thanks to my mixed heritage.
the new batch of models are all having the 30' wasitline. i sport a 32 1/2 or minsan 33" pa. i have wide shoulders and big bones and thats not a plus anymore. Inno Sotto dsnt like big boned guys and so does Robbie Carmona.
to those big-boned...dnt fret.as long as u exude the x-factor and u hold strong presence...your being big boned wont be noticed anymore.
i hope the questions were answered. good luck to everyone.

[makenzi]

Hi there handsome! :wave:
I can't wait for the next Ortigas Working Pexer's Eb!
Sayang, I didn't stay too long...:shakehead:

[red_kiss]

well, as far as dating models is concerned, i would definitely go out with one. i have friends who are models--fashion, commercial or whathaveyou-- and their personalities vary on how they "adapt" (is it correct to say that?) with their status... so far i have met two models whose feet are still stuck to the ground. i also have a crush who is a model, and he is definitely NOT an airhead nor a braggart or something. basta mabait siya sobra, even my friends who used to dislike him like him na. how i wish he's my boyfriend, but then our friendship is more important...:)

but then again, there are some models who let their status get into their heads, making people stereotype the other models...

[asianhunky]

i once had a fling with a model, he did appear on tv.. his face on local newspapers, but i didnt keep him. i dont care if he's popular.. who needs a parasite?

i wouldnt mind having a model as my boyfriend.. as long as he's true to himself, and he has the qualities that make a good man. :smokin:

[ANNEgelic]

a model? my bf did some commercials a while back. when i found out shock nga ako kasi he's so quiet and reserved ..

it's just a job. :) it shouldn't reflect much on his personality. i know a few, some are really quiet. :)

[asianhunky]

hey everyone.
hope all of you are having a great day!
it's sad Rottenmind that it ddnt work out. if he wasnt true to himself, it was good then that u left him.
hey annegelic, i like what u said. made a lot of sense!
chill!

we're nie too and girls should consider dating models too...not because most of us are pretty but because we are well-mannered and humans as well.

Wasn't sure whether or not I had posted on this thread before now. So if I have and I've put in my two cents, forgive me for being repetitious... Anyway, back to the topic at hand...

I know a few people who model (did it myself a while ago but didn't really click with it). I dated 2 models, one of whom was my boyfriend for 7 months. Honestly, it was a struggle. Not because he had an "i'm-a-model" attitude - which he didn't. But because of the people who judged me for being with him. Hearing things like "That's HIS girlfriend?!? He has no taste" and "It must be true that good looking people pick ugly people to balance things out", that made it hard. Having girls hate you for dating someone they have a crush on and turn a sincere relationship into the object of speculation about why the hell you're even together in the first place, those things are even harder.

If you're going to date a model, I guess my only advice would be to try to let the hurtful things that will be said about you roll off you like water off a duck's back. It's hard, but if you love someone (whatever their chosen occupation) it won't matter what he or she does - only the way he or she makes you feel when you are together. (And yes asianhunky, my ex BF took public transport and did normal, everyday things too - like you).

The moral of the story: don't be discouraged by dating a model because you believe he will have an elitist or egotistical attitude. Underneath the hype, beneath the designer clothes - they're just ordinary people with extra-ordinary looks.

people are too prejudiced nowadays. They generalize too much. Male models are people like us. They just have the looks and the body, that's all. I have a lot of model friends and they hate it when they are called airheads. Most of them are smart and simple. There is nothing wrong with being a model.

"Model" has already become a term. It means the looks, the bod, narcissus, and no brain. Heck! That aint true. Maybe it's because you're jealous of them or haven't met any.

But then again, some models are different, the ones who don't really have the personality, but what do we care if they are like that? They are people like us, they have their good side and their bad side.

yeesh... some people

[juniper]

Male models as boyfriends are fine as long as they won't let their success (or the lack of it) inflate their egos. :) As this trite saying goes, there's always a few rotten eggs in the bunch.. and the people who had the misfortune of meeting them end up stereotyping the rest of the model population.

I dated this guy before who sporadically appreared in local fashion magazines, and I just couldn't stand him!! He was such an airhead!:grrr: Naturally, I dumped him. :glee: The next guy I dated was much better. He's every girl's dream (and fantasy :lol: )... He's so down-to-earth and simple to think that he was way more famous than the 1st (model) guy I dated. When I used to pass by in EDSA, it was surreal to see his huge billboard. Too bad things didn't work out for us coz I had to leave the country. :( He's still one of my good friends though... so it's all good. :D

[asianhunky]

bad trip nga kasi dapat tonight ang flight ko. moved to tues. gusto ko nang umuwi. nakakabato din dito. my cousins work here and they clain that life in america is the LIFE! not for me. no way. kayod dito. thats what i noticed. i liked my first trip here better compared to this trip. sa florida kasi ako a yr ago. dun ok ang nightlife. wild mga tao!dito sa chicago d gaano. miss ko na ang makati. nothing beats makati. the site of glorietta is the best welcome site for me. i dnt know. davao is my home but manila is really close to my heart...naks! buti ka pa busy. i miss being busy. i miss the pressure. the thrill! i miss the corporate world. i really do. dun ko rin kasi nameet ang first officemates-turned-good-friends ko. remember Leandra ( the one na may crush kay leandro baldemor) and Archerguy? im talking about them. Archerguy is my best friend. i talk as if matagal na ako dito noh? hehehe. not really. it's the corporate world that i miss a lot. i stopped working last april and went full-time modeling. lam mo naman sa modeling, d clear ang oras. dami ko nang sinasabi. ingat ka. kiat kits naman tayo one of these days. ako orgnize.

first of all, i think it because of luck. i was spotted in malate by 2 guys and 1 girl (and they all had the same height) one sat night. they were looking for a dark guy who has toasted skin. from then on i got to do fashion shows here in mla.
i am not goodlooking but i guess it's my being part korean-african-filipino mix makes me model here.
i am having diffuclty in modelling here in mla for i am not thin like the new batch of models. i started when i was 14 ( 1994) and that time it was the palakihan ng katawan time. i must admit that i look kinda early nineties and this is one hard fact i should take. i dnt look like the new batch of models but i am surviving though.
thanks to my mixed heritage.
the new batch of models are all having the 30' wasitline. i sport a 32 1/2 or minsan 33" pa. i have wide shoulders and big bones and thats not a plus anymore. Inno Sotto dsnt like big boned guys and so does Robbie Carmona.
to those big-boned...dnt fret.as long as u exude the x-factor and u hold strong presence...your being big boned wont be noticed anymore.
i hope the questions were answered. good luck to everyone.

Oo nga, having seen the flow of this thread, napapansin ko na mga models, your job's the envy of many of us "normal folk" yet you make it appear that you're just as regular as many of us. For instance, I used to work out in this Makati gym and it so happened that naging kasama ko sa locker si Alain Sia. However, we talked mostly about Playstation (I) games. One thing about being in this modelling biz, asianhunk... sa totoo lang I could've been one (with my 5'11" height and a foreign surname to boot); however, do modelling agencies generally prefer half-breeds or balikbayans to "ethnic" Pinoys straight out of the province?

About the female of your species (models, that is...) mabuti you cleared it out that not all of them stick to their own kind. Sa tingin mo, would they generally go for ordinary guys...you know, those who don't buy Jaguars w/ Daddy's money and maintain resthouses in Tagaytay?

Thanks and keep your feet planted on the ground.

[asianhunky]

well, u should try out the modelling scene dude. i mean i am no goodlooking guy ( ask mackenzi) but to penetrate it and it is my source of living for years na. i am no tisoy. my mom is afircan-spanish-pinoy and my dad is korean pinoy. just imagine how weird i look like but since i got the right things going like the height and all those ****, i got in. i dnt think though that if one has a foregn sounding name, a future is assured. even though that tisoys do get the part all the time, it dsnt mean that there is no room for moreno guys!it's all about character, attitude and the right look that agencies would want to represent. try it. it is such an unforgiving line of work but it's all good.
if u want, i can refer u to my agent. he is well-established and he has good connections. he being my agent got me my first LEAD tv ad in one month! i dnt know kung swerte lang yun but he brought me to the right VTR and i got it!magaling yun!. he's also gonna serve as your image consultant. he's trained for that.
i know Alain but i dnt think he still remembers me. his ex-gf is a very very good friend of mine. Alain is another strong example that models are smart too. that we got something between those vents too. chill!
mackenzi, i just arrived yesterday. grabe, the worst flight i ever had. ang yayabang pa ng PAL employees and attendants! naging international Flight attendats lang naging mayabang na!
bad trip d ako nakasama sa Eb niyo!

[CollegeKid]

asianhunky: ic... hey msta ang life mo? nakabalik ka na pala good luck. . . :D me 2 di rin ako nakasama sa EB, dibale theres always a next time dba... good morning....

[makenzi]

the congo grille eb was great! from what i've read dito, around 70 people attended the said eb...:)

so balik makati ka na asianhunky?b maybe we can meet sometime ulit, ask the Ortigas Pexers! ;)

[asianhunky]

kamusta ang lahat

asianhunky: hi ok lang naman ako eto fine.. *** msta ka na? medyo bato ako ngyun kasi final exam week namin ngyun eh.. hirap talaga grabe...

makenzi: halo!!! stil alive? :worm:

[victorialicious]

asianhunky,
I know what you mean, people percieve models as mayabang and vain people, but we are after all just normal human beings with wonderful jobs.....we just like doing what we do and there's is nothing wrong with that....but i mean we are people too....My Bf is a model, and he is not at all vain....he may look good but thats because he has great grooming skills....he's as normal as the next person.....i think some people just think things because they have this view of what a model is when the truth is they aren't at all like that....
as for female models some of them do have a tendency to think they're bigger then everybody else....but there are still some out there that treat it just as it is a job....and when all the playing is over we return to our normal everyday lives....we're just as normal as anybody else...

[misty_sky]

well, I've had two ex-boyfriends who were, and still are, male models...

one was real nice, but very immature... had a wanted-everything-for-himself sort of attitude... and he was commitment phobic and resolved to play the field for most of his life...

the other one was very intense, with dark, probing eyes that make you say that "hey, this guy's deep..."... he projects a 'wounded' air... he was nice enough but in the end, it was his intensity that drove us apart...

i haven't got anything against dating male models... all i can say about them is that yes, they do have a certain 'attitude', which isn't necessarily bad. i think the precise reason that they became male models is that they have a certain look... a certain character.. and that's what sets them apart. and oftentimes, unfortunately, it's this thing that sets them apart is what people mistake for vanity and arrogance.

[asianhunky]

thank u everyone for sharing.
i just hope u girls wont stop considering male models as boyfriends coz we are as mormal as hell like others.
take care everyone and see u when i get back there in manila.

[makenzi]

Don't tell me wala ka na naman ng Pinas? hmm...madaming raket huh? :glee:
How are you?

[CollegeKid]

asianhunky: hi musta ka na bro.? Nasan ka ngyun?

makenzi: andito karin pala!

[frOZen_tEaRdRoP]

i had an ex bf once who's a model.at first when he approached me and told me about his feelings i had tons of doubts,coz i admit i have this perceptions about models,that they are indeed vain and brainless that they only care about how they look and what they wear.but he changed that wrong perception.he was the sweetest and the nicest not to mention good looking too.of course im flattered.but then again,it sometimes made me insecure.who wouldn't?he was working with the most gorgeous women strutting their perfectly shaped bodies,and i who was just an average charming lady next door. :D but then he lead me to a new discovery that not all models are disgustingly vain.most of them are,but not all of them. :D right asianhunky?;)

[asianhunky]

i am back in manila. shempre kelangan kumayod. musta na mackenzi? have u been meeting the ortigas people pa rin?
hey college kid. mukhang may gusto ka ata kay mackenzi ha. sexy yun tsaka mabait tsaka maganda tsaka articulate tsaka lakas ng presence tsaka....
hehehehe. oo nga. i personally think that mackenzi is pretty.
that was very nice of u to say frozen but i just hope that u havent decided to never date another model again. models are cool (not all of us though). we work as models coz all of us have dreams. like in my case, i take advantage of this job so i could save up some money. i want to give my mom a shopping spree of her life in 2 years. i want to give my dad 2 more horses from australia. wala lang. modeling is difficult but is sure is a good source of fast cash. (some agencies pay as late as 6-8 months and some as early as 1 week).
i know a lot dsnt classify modeling as a job but i must say that it is. it is one of the most unforgiving line of work. bigtime unforgiving!
i also know that a lot still think that models are dumb and arrogant....trust me....not all of us are.
like ako....jologs...squatter.

Okay..

Im really curious..

who's asianhunky?

[RALPH WALDO]

Pasado pala waistline ko... 32 1/2. :)

Regarding the topic, it doesn't matter if your BF is a model or whatever. As long as the sex is good, then great! Keeding.

To have or not to have a male model for a BF is just the same as classifying girls who are "pang-kama" or "pang-altar."

Hey, you wont believe this. I'm listening to the radio right at this very moment and guess what they're playing? Here it is...

I do my little turn on the catwalk
I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far
And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk
I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my
'Cos I'm a model you know what I mean

hehe...u know what?! any edible bf or gf poses a great risk in having a stable relationship with. but i believe the average partner should not put pressure on the model-type significant other. it is not their fault that they are gifted with the face value and bod that gives others a drooling problem. i believe it all boils down to the person's character. whether he is a model or not if he's "naughty with the girls" by nature you're bound for major heartbreaks whether you like it or not. u're insecurity would just aggravate the possibility though. here's the trick: think of the fact that he chose you sa dinami-dami ng babaeng nakilala nya. he must've seen you in a way that you never expected. but is it impossible for him to think "God, she's really something!" or "i really like this girl coz she's different!"??? do not allow pity or insecurity spoil those thoughts for you! :nope: otherwise, you're wasting an opportunity to have a loving relationship with a great catch. *okay*

anyways, regarding models being airheads, well i beg to disagree. in fact i've known these hunkaroonies through intellectual intercourse before i found out that they were models. for the record, they are the smartest/most intelligent human beings i ever crossed paths with (and very down-to-earth even!)...and i am just lucky to be able to have met them along the way. :naughty2: ooopppsss! wrong emoticon! er--should be: :handsdown:

ok.. as for male models as bfs, just like what bepanthene wrote, they r just like any other person with jobs. i'm just against it coz of the whole incompatibility of schedule issue - like if you're free, he's not and when he's free, you're not. Models have the craziest schedules ever - totally unpredictable! I'm the type of person pa naman who'd want my significant other to be around when I need him and he's not in some other country flashing his pearly whites. Oohh and I also hate when other girls are raising their eyebrows at u when they see u with ur male model bf and then few minutes later they r giggling and tossing their hair infront of his face, y'know flirting!!:rolleyes: It's just too much stress and pressure that I'd rather not have. Too complicated. I guess that's why I feel relationships like that never do work. :(

maybe you can treat me to a coffee somewhere in valero? ;)

[Cool_Spot]

i like the movie zoolander. hahahaha

[asianhunky]

hey everyone.
sure mackenzi. taga ayala ave ako dati pero i transferred na here sa boni. what im paying for a 2 br apartment is what i was paying for a room when i used to live there in makati.
sige coffee tayo. im always free. tom have an audition at 1-4pm pero might finish up early.
i liked zoolander too. it was very funny. one movie critic described it as "regular joe's revenge to the genetically blessed...". that movie was hilarious. damn it was. ben stiller is the man! owne wilson did the job well too. it was very funny the way he would pout his lips. it was just so funny especially the part when zoolander and his 3 model friends were at the gas station accompanied by george micheal's song.
was at gold's gym today and saw about 3-5 models. it was quite funny coz the 3 guys who are all PMAP models were talking about muscles and stuff and even other people's body development. their voices were pretty loud and i did see some ladies giving a sarcastic smile. from what i saw today, i am less shocked why many people still ridicule the male models. sometimes...SOME models do exaggerate about their looks.
anyway for those interested...
VTR for telecom ad, oct 2, 1-6pm at TALENT WORKS ASIA 3RD FLOOR GREENBELT MALL (NEAR CINEMAS). Look for Owen and say that you were texted by THE VELVET ROPE MODELING AGENCY.
there you go!

asianhunky: dude! sent you a pm. help me out!

[asianhunky]

ddnt get any pm from u college:). what is it that i can do for u? and man i am so sure that mackenzi is pretty. actually, i dnt have to guarantee u coz if u are interested in her...u got to find a way to meet the lady. lucky me coz i got to meet her when i was still owkring in ortigas center.
Katbj, sure man. go try it out. thin models are in and if u want to make it a plus go get yourslef seriously ripped. ako nga i dnt get frequently chosen for fashion shows due to my wide structure and big bones. designers nowadays go for the thin look. go for it man. fashion shows are pretty fun but not that high paying though. tv ads are a lot better coz the pay is really good (it still depends if u get the lead or support or even if the product pays well). print isnt much exciting but it will give u exposure. it kindof escalates u. i dnt know pero it does help. in my case it was the print and fashion shows that helped me kind of get "promoted"...it'll make your portfolio kind of better.

i guess kaya hindi nag work out relasyon namin kasi he was more into looks. ayun, model ang nakatuluyan nya

But I do know how to act and to project.

^^you should be doing the rounds of modeling agencies, vtrs, auditions and such instead of posting here on Pexworld. that'd help your career more.


and on-topic : never had a male model as a boyfriend and I don't think I'd want my daughter to have a male model as a boyfriend. She used to be a kiddie model for about 3-4 years and we did shows with grownup models sometimes and I noticed that the guy and girl models all seemed so up themselves - forever looking in the mirrors, examining their muscles or their faces, posturing endlessly.

It just reinforces the stereotype that models have no brains.

If this option is still open for my daughter when she's all grown up, I wouldn't want her to be some bimbo model and I wouldn't want her going out with some other bimbo model. I'm not saying all models are like this - I've read some interviews that some models have done and others are quite intelligent (Raya Mananquil, for one) and have eclectic interests.

Hahaha, I remember this episode in the cartoon "Fairly Odd Parents" where Jimmy (the boy lead) wishes to have a body of a 16-year old to be able to pass the height limit in the "screamer ride" (more like a roller coaster).

Wish granted.
Jimmy: Oh boy! Now I have a body of a 16-year old while my mind is only of a ten!
Cosmo (Fairly Odd parent # 1): Wow! You're a fashion model!

Wahahahahahahahahaha

thanks for sharing your thoughts.
thanks too for enlightening me.
"asianhunky" has been the name i have used like forever. it was never an issue in the states...but i am now in the Philippines. things are different. well, if this nick is offensive to anybody out there, i am so sorry. i mean no harm. it's all for fun.
and the nick dsnt get me attention from anybody. others have more "fun" names than i do like "Pinakagwapo" and stuff.
modelling is pretty difficult i would say. it's not like i just stand there, look strong and rich and cute and devilish and naughty or animalistic or look like so perfect. it's difficult. believe me. it's a source of stress. u get stressed before u go the location coz u aint sure as to what to wear. u get stressed that maybe, just maybe the designers require models to wear thongs underneath the "creations" as to not to destroy it with "brief-lines". believe me...thongs are not nice to wear. being a model means birthdays aint good. that means u are getting older. ur "market value" declining. models these days are as young as 13 and getting more goodlooking and a lot desireable.
anyway, i feel bad for your friend. we aint sure if the guy did remain loyal but at least she could have checked if he really was. i completely understand that having a model as a bf aint easy. my girl complains a lot especially when i do shoots and shows that requires flesh.
but anyway, models as bf aint that bad. models arent promiscous and it's a lie that we can get anybdoy we want.w a reputation that we are all dumbos...believe me, people just gasp whenever i talk with a lot of sense.
do take care and i hope i can meet all of u who took time to write.. i think PEX is a place to make friends. lets meet one of these days.
:) :)
:rolleyes: :)

offtopic: i love how you and xerxes exchange your thoughts. made me really understand both sides. clap clap clap!

i'd be delighted to just listen to both of you conversing in person. kaso baka matameme ako, i'm not that good with words. reminds me of this weekend radio program sa WRock wherein the male and female dj's argue about love problems ng letter senders nila. oh well, that's way too much off-topic.

[mr.6footer]

[starry_night]

haven't generalized male models as arrogant people...

it all boils down to the fact that they're like any other human being on earth :rotflmao:

[vincex]

im one model myself and i just get so pissed when i hear from people that male models have an attitude only martyrs can bear.that male models are more vain than the female ones. that male models care nothing but their body, hair and stuff..and blah, blah, blah...
well, i am not and i believe that there are tons of male models out there who are "cowboys" and normal.
i can live without my comb and mirrors are just mirros and not life's need.
i go to the gym to keep myself fit and not to do the "hey, look at me, look at me!i'm a moh-dhel".
and my gf and i have been together for 8 years and i dnt think she has problems of me being a model.
models only look arrogant when they are on the ramp. it is our job to project the "air" when we are on the ramp. that models are different and the clothes are perfect. thats it. off ramp, we're but normal guys who play basketball or take the MRT to get somewhere.
we're nie too and girls should consider dating models too...not because most of us are pretty but because we are well-mannered and humans as well.

Actually male models are very "cowboy". Female models on the other hand are rarely that. The problem with male models is that most of them aren't very smart or truly career oriented. I would think that there are more smart female models in proportion.

may social stigma talaga male models, lalo na pag di naman sikat. kasi irregular ang kita nila at paibaiba pa ng talent fee, minsan 1,500 tapos, mababakante ng isang bwan. gutom ang tingin ng girls sa male models. Ibang usapan kung hobby mo lang yan o sideline.

Insecure din kasi mga girls.. I know most girls prefer that they look prettier than their bf, while their bf makes more moneythan they do. gender roles daw...

hanap ka nalang ng female model for a gf.

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

male models.... first thing that comes to my mind is the movie ZOOLANDER :lol:

mr.6footer>>i believe there's a topic called "aspiring model" sa style and fashion..

[kreuk]

i haven't met any male model to know.

pero they can be intimidating. i think anyone who ramps is intimidating. their confidence is intimidating (impulse reaction).

but i doubt if they are stupid or airheads or arrogant. not necessarily.

direct dyogi pinoy big brother and i think direct paul soriano were former models.

Trust me. In proportion to female models, the average intelligence of male models is lower. Not that they are all dumb. But its just that female models just have a higher inclination to get into things like that while smarter guys inclination drive them to things such as other hobbies, career, books, computers, games etc...

Note. I'm not saying that all male models are dumb. Neither am I saying that female models are smart.
