"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

if so, how did you become a model and do you enjoy it as a career path?

holla!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

do you honestly believe that if a guy looked like a model, he'd be on sosuave?
Nope. I had a buddy who was a 10 when I was just out of school - he was swimming in a sea of püssy. He had young püssy, 30 year old püssy, mom and her daughter püssy, sisters both after him püssy, neighbor girl püssy, music teacher püssy. I think he even had friends wife püssy and dads girlfriend püssy but he would never admit it. He had NO game, but at some level it doesn't matter - you only have 24 hours in a day after all.

I have a few friends who are models. Most of them have no problem getting women with their looks alone. I've seen my buddy Matias around women... While he does have looks, he also displays a high level of confidence... almost borderline arrogance! So I guess you could say he has DJ attributes as well as looks.

Anyways, back to the threads topic!

Male modeling...

First you'd need to get a portfolio with your pictures, etc... Google information on how to setup a proper male modeling portfolio.

Find an agency and submit your portfolio. If they are interested, they'll get in touch with you!

By the way... Chances are even if you do make it into modeling, you will still have to keep your day job. I know guys work and model, simply because modeling doesn't pay enough (unless of course you make it big).

Good luck!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I did a few shoots, but nothing mainstream. I was scouted in a mall one day (apparently very rare) to enter an eyewear modelling competition. My instinctive reaction was "What's the catch?" and "How much do you want from me?" But the women showed me the paper work and marketing literature and it was all legit - sponsored by L'Oreal and D&G among others.

I never made it past the 2nd stage and felt really awkward being photographed. But I met a girl there (also a model) who put me in touch with an agency. I managed a few decent pics, but I just wasn't comfortable with it and didn't pursue it.

Basically, if you want to get into it and believe you have the right look and the camera confidence, then you need to get a portfolio together and send it to a number of modelling agencies. But unless you go mainstream, don't expect to make a regular living from it, or even a particularly high pay packet.

Also, be careful of some vanity scams that promise to make you a model, but want money from you up front to pay for photos portfolios etc. Legitimate agencies do not ask for money up front, they take their cut from your commission.

Lets not let the looks debate start again. I am leaving that ^ up. an extremely well written argument and in my opinion should be all that needs to be said on the issue of looks.

In hell. I'm Satan's lover.
I used to but it's too time consuming. Jariel, personally I don't find it's that rare at the mall (live in Toronto). The biggest problem is without a doubt the portfolio. Stayfly I had around 50 quality shots and it should be ever increasing. Overall that's a LOT of pictures when you consider all of them won't be what you're looking for. And they were really strict about weight (they were really hesitant about letting me bulk.) Also getting a good agent at a good agency is not easy and open calls are pretty bad too. Oh and make sure you like interviews. If you have anything specific to ask you can PM me.
