I felt this myspace blog would be good for this place. Some men here have the tact of a warthog. I have permission to repost this. If you wish to do the same please talk to the author.


To explain the blog a bit, the photographer in that profile is a man. Dorks on this site see the women's pictures on his default picture and they think he's a woman, without checking the sex. Proof that people are stupid.

Here's his blog.

What I've learned about women by photographing them....For men only...


There are certain truths about women that I've notice from photographing them. I decided that, because my models are also my closest friends, I decided to share with you the insights that I've made - to help you, my fellow men, not to be a dick. And I've come to the conclusion, a lot of you guys out there are dicks. Please, stop being dicks.

My observations:

1) Most women don't want you - mostly because you take no interest in who they are.

How hard is it, really, to check the sex before you request some hot webcam action?

I know that Myspace is filled with 100 year old prepubescent girls that make over 100 grand a year. I get it. But why assume that every profile with a picture of a girl on it is someone who would love to respond to your request to "Take you back to my crib?" I mean, take a look at my photos - none of the girls look alike!

I'm a 35 year old portugese/scottish photographer with a penis. I get to hang out with beautiful women and take pictures of them in their all-together. I'm approximately 60 or so pounds overweight and wheeze when I walk fast. I've turned the magical age that, in my family anyways, does weird things to the hair production units all over my body. I've got ear hair, back hair, long hairs growing out of random places out of my face, and enough back hair to make it look like I'm a dropped lollypop. Are you hot for me yet?

Guys, lets be honest, it takes a certain amount of charm to get women on the internet to respond to you sexually without a face to face meeting. You've got to be witty, fun, flirty and just the right kind of dirty. You've got to put in some effort - you can't order a girl like you order a pizza. Here's some of the come on lines that I, a 35 year old man who is old enough to be their fathers, have gotten recently:

"whats up sexy whatcha doin tonight?"
"nice body got a webcam to prove that you ?"
"sooo your pretty hot "
"Boy you sure are pretty can I send you a picture of my dick?"
"Would you like to sex?"
" Just browsen the web and seen your beatiful pics and was wondering if you wanted to chat sometime and get to know one another."
" waz good ma this b joker lookin 4 some friend w/b 2 a bro n look at my pg ma"

My favorite exhange has been from an easily confused chap:

Him: You are sooo sexy. can we be friends?
Me: Dude, check the sex before you hit on me.
Him: well you sexy as hell anyhow.
Me: Thanks?
Him: Holy Shit! I did'nt understand what you meant before, I thought you meant you were a lesbian. You still look great for a guy very impressive, compliment still stands to bad though your hot as hell but I'm straight as hell. Have a great day buddy.
Me: I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER! THAT'S A MODEL!

Now, if you took the time to actually read the name ("FML photography - what is that, Lithuanian?") or the sex ("Male, huh? Maybe that means who she really wants to bang...") or compare the pictures ("Wow, she's really good at make-up"), you'd discover one important thing - this dude isn't gonna go for you. And even if I was a chick, still wouldn't.

2) It's entirely possible to look at a picture of a beautiful women and still have no idea who she is.

My favorite models are the ones who can adapt different looks, different attitudes and look like completely different people from one shoot to the next. Still doesn't mean that's who they are. The reasons some people model for me are different for each model - some do it for confidence, some do it for the thrill, some do it because they wanna remember what they looked like when they were young, some do it to overcome some bad things that happened in their life, etc. So far, no one has ever posed to attract fuck buddies.

As a matter of fact, the whole "whooo your hot wanna screw?" response is the lowest form of appreciation for beauty. Sure you can think it, sure parts of your body may scream it, but the whole "I wanna hit that" ice breaker is gonna make you look lame, the model's gonna tell her friends that you're lame and their photographer buddy is probably gonna write about how lame you are. This has the potential for limiting your spawning ability in the future. And if you believe in Karma, it's sure to keep you from attracting beautiful, intelligent, worthwhile women from you in the future.

Because my models are sexy doesn't mean you can respond to them like the hero of a Penthouse letter. Porn lied to us, boys. It doesn't work like that.

3) The refusal of a date/meeting/hookup/quickie/kneeknocker isn't an insult.

Porn did lie to us. Marginally attractive men do not have sex with surgically altered hotties by just flashing the pee-pee. Because porn lied to us, doesn't mean you have to take it out on them. This is a paraphrasing of an exchange between a model of mine and one of her "fans"

HIM: Shit girl - you hot. I wanna be all up in that. Hit me back cuz I could be so good for ya.
Her: Thank you, but no.
HIM: FUCK YOU YOU SLOPPY BITCH! WHO WOULD WANNA TOUCH THAT SNAGGLETOOTHED PUSSY IN THE FIRST PLACE? GET YOUR SLOPPY ASS TO THE GYM (etc, etc, etc).

She didn't know anything about him other than he was the self proclaimed tuffest (sp) 18 year old in town. She was polite, even when she probably didn't have to be and then she gets this type of response.

Guys, if you're gonna respond like this, do yourself a favor and just write "I'M AN EMOTIONALLY SHUNTED LITTLE PRICK WHO NEEDS WOMEN TO JUSTIFY HIS SELFWORTH AND TOOK THAT REJECTION AS AN INSULT! IF SOMEONE CALLS ME ON MY BEHAVIOR, I'LL THREATEN TO KICK YOUR ASS BECAUSE MY EGO IS THE ONLY THING SMALLER THAN MY COCK!" It won't hurt anyone's feelings, you might even get points for honesty and maybe if you typed it enough, you might actually learn something.

4) If you need a woman to be subjugated to you, then even you don't think you're as cool as you think you are.

Women, cool women you wanna be with, are at their heart confident and free spirited. No one wants to be with Angelina Jolie because she knows her place and looks down at her feet when she accidentally speaks out of turn. They want Angelina Jolie because she's a challenge and because she might eat your head off your neck after the act of sexual congress is over with. There is no such thing as a hot but subjugated woman - think of the last amish girl you beat off to (Kelly McGillis doesn't count).

So, knowing this, why is it that you think that browbeating women is even a desireable thing to do? Take for instance this recent e-mail:

"So you're the cocksucker responsible for boosting all of these nasty bitches' confidence. Your fucking work is really amazing though, making those piece of shit whores look somewhat presentable. You have the ability to turn a "3" into a "4". Congratu-fucking-lations, pervert.

4EVER BITCH!"

Now, for those of you confused about this exchange, let me translate this for you:

"Hello. I wish to take issue with your ability to boost girls confidence. If a woman has the ability to feel good about themselves, it dampens the chances I have to date them. My dating style hinges on my ability to make women feel bad about themselves and therefore overly grateful that such a "wonderful" guy would even take interest in them. I then can make them do anything I want to because, after all that subjugation, who would want them? I mean, really? I've got a good thing going here, and you're making it more difficult. Would you subjugate yourself so that it would never happen again?

PS - I'm a dick.

Yours 4Ever,
Dicky McAssface."

Unfortunately for Mr McAssface, I don't subjugate to anyone and I will continue taking cool, interesting pictures of beautiful women and Dicky's gonna have to learn how not to be a shithead.

By the way, "Subjugated" means "under control"

--FML







 
Yeah, and I'm sure that they're all going to rush here to read this.

*yawn*
 
I've got to be impressed with any guy who can use the term "sexual congress" when talking about Angelina Jolie.

what a cool guy! :D

that's all so damn true.

He is and it is. A friend sent me the blog after I'd been bombarded with emails from guys saying such things as:

"You don't know me, but you wanna come over and have some fun."

"You're hot. Do give BJ's"

If I or any woman really wanted to hook up with some random guy then we all could walk into any bar around town and say, "Please fuck me now". I mean would we really be wasting our time on an internet site?

it's amazing, isn't it?
they honestly believe that they're doing you a favour :rolleyes:

and they always seem surprised to get rejected...you'd think that with their charm they'd be used to it.
 
all I gotta say Andraste is your hot and I'm not asking for a bj lol

yeah that is stupid right there..... Like do some of the guys really expect women to suck their cock just cause they gave you a complament?

*unzipping your pants*

yeah!
 
Stupidity addressed

Thanx MissyG for this thread and link; it sez it all!
Hubby and I are Fine Art Nude photographers, also doing nude portraits for those interested and I can't tell you how many times I've answered some stupid questions about our work!
No, we don't photograph in the nude, it's unprofessional and NO! I am not photographed with the client!

This guy's response has been noted and a form of it will be used in our replies to those who have no understanding of our work.
Thanks again for brightening my day! :rose:
 
I stopped reading at myspace.

Yeah, when reject one guy who was requesting "some fun." I was told that I must rather die fat and alone.

As far as fat goes I've already got that, so having any fun with that dude wouldn't change the fat... unless his fun required several times a day, occasionally excluding meals. With the alone part, unless he was proposing happily ever after, I seriously doubt his proposal of "some fun" would prevent me from being alone....

Some people are real special!

She is... :)

I suppose they must and they don't even know how to give the right compliment. I'm starting to wonder if the words Beautiful or Pretty still exist in the English language.

Fine, hot, sexy... etc. are the only compliments known to several young males.

Welcome! I have a friend who is thinking of getting into boudoir photography.

Yeah, the guy that wrote that is a self taught photographer. He likes to pick novice models and photograph them. Mostly his work is nudes or pin up type.

The man said I could reprint that anywhere I wanted as long as I gave him credit.

Yeah. And pollution and racism are bad, too. Thanks for the eye opening.


They are and yet some people still don't get it... every so often there is a need for an eye opening...

Thanks MG.

Boudoir photography seems to be the "rage" at this time, there's a few togs who specialise in it here in the UK; particularly to women who want nude portraits of themselves.
When contacted by women who are looking to have nude photos, we strive to create images which are flattering and will be viewed fondly years down the road. It ain't easy at times, but by and large, we've had only positive feedback.

We too prefer novices when we are employing models, with the exception for one and she's strictly a fine art nude model; no glamour or pin-up work.
Below is an example of her.

Mostly, what we've found is those who say they are "experienced" are high priced and don't really have the temperment or knowledge of what fine art nude is!

This is very true. Just remember that despite nearly infinite repetition there are some folks who won't get it anyway.
