I finally stopped pedestalizing models after learning the truth.

Stiltzkinn · 2024-02-14T17:35:02+00:00

You are correct, there are also attractive women down to earth worth dating.

JohnsonBonesJones · 2024-02-14T21:09:02+00:00

Sounds like you're slowly getting over the need for external validation. Keep working, good job

Mexcol · 2024-02-14T17:05:02+00:00

Those don't even register in my pov. They're normally super high maintenance or their ego is off the rack. So just a hassle to date

Alone_Ad8207 · 2024-02-14T17:35:03+00:00

I mean… you’re the one that has had an obession with models and then you decide they’re overrated ? If you’d had a more reasonable wision of them to begin with, you’d probably see them for what they are, good-looking girls that fit into that job in terms of bodytype, skills, etc.

TitanSlayerBoi · 2024-02-14T16:39:17+00:00

Fuck celebrity models. They look fake as fuck! 🤮🤮

sky_Driver88 · 2024-02-15T01:01:20+00:00

The girl next door type always appealed to me way more. I’ve sweat over more average girls than anyone who was like a model type.

zhantoo · 2024-02-15T01:47:33+00:00

I once tried to get with a girl that had her sexy pictures in a magazine. I don't remember how I got her details, but we had texted a bit.

Then found out we were both going to the same festival, and agreed to meet up.

When we met, I did not recognize her at all. I could have put her pictures next to her, and I would not be able to see they were the same.

VBXL11 · 2024-02-15T05:17:03+00:00

Neal Brennan 1nce said, "dating a model is like owning a dune buggy. At the beach, they're tons of fun... but everywhere else, it's like I shouldn't have brought you here."

calfshrug · 2024-02-14T19:04:53+00:00

Models are attractive; dude.

I’m not saying that they’re perfect. They’re people. Prone to be dull, very prone to be substance abusers, they will age, they will make stupid decisions, and they are probably more prone to hedonism than the average person.

But man; don’t try and tell me that Sean O’Pry or something is not as attractive in person. If you’re talking about female models in particular?

Yeah, women use the shit out of makeup. Average looking or ugly women can be models strictly on makeup

epimpstyle · 2024-02-14T18:42:27+00:00

Most models are really not that hot IRL, even with makeup surprisingly

Due to the nature of my business, I am witness to makeup magic. All of the below average looking girls become gorgeous as soon as they step out of the makeup room.

I can't show you a BEFORE and AFTER, but do a Google search to see huge transformations, see HERE the results, I have seen such a transformation IRL and it gets scary knowing what makeup can do. You can end up approaching an 8-9HB and wake up in the morning next to her and realize she is actually a 6HB.

The standard of beauty in fashion is to be tall and have a certain weight, makeup does the rest, the models are also human beings with good and bad things, but they have a social status that makes them look for guys with similar social status. "Birds of a Feather Flock Together"

sizedup · 2024-02-14T19:58:54+00:00

Dated a model for 6 years as my first girlfriend and then dated her model friend from her agency after we broke up. These are my findings ->

being a model doesn’t necessarily make you a certain type of way, but I noticed from my experience they tend to have a less developed personality because they constantly receive male attention from their looks and rarely feel the need to better themselves in that way, but of course with anything there are the off cases where you’ll find a super good looking model/influencer who is super humble and cool and realistic and down to earth. Second girl I dated was much more humble and down to earth then the first but even she had no real drive to better herself in other ways as she already got alotttttt of male attention

aeswzrd · 2024-02-14T21:58:14+00:00

I don't think ive ever seen a conventional model with a nice ass so I never got the allure.

Sandvicheater · 2024-02-14T19:32:22+00:00

True god given beauty is like 1% of the entire female population like these girls looking smoking hot without any makeup on. For all other "mortal" women they rely heavily on make up, plastic surgery and photoshop to look hot to the "male gaze" but do realize in the end these "fake" hot women are mortal flesh and blood human beings like you no better or worse.

void-space- · 2024-02-14T22:51:49+00:00

i dated a professional model in a large city and know other professional models.

most of them are eastern european and they tend to stick to their own kind in terms of their friend groups.

Them being eastern european seem to have more of an effect on how they act than the fact they’re a model. Russian women are different than American girls. They can be tough and tougher than most American men I come across.

What do you want to know about them? They’re 9-10s and if you actually interact with them you’d see they have various personalities and interest and a lot of them are more approachable than you’d think, but they may or may not talk to you if you aren’t in their circles

Tremaparagon · 2024-02-14T21:57:46+00:00

I think it's a great healthy stance to find beauty in a variety of women. Once we leave the conditioning of filters and sorting people linearly behind. Models are still hot but so is the charming girl next door. A nerdy looking girl can be cute in an adorkable way. etc

unfortunately_real · 2024-02-15T03:08:02+00:00

Never seen a model with huge rack or a good twerking potential, checks out

juju_la_poeto · 2024-02-15T03:19:30+00:00

I’d rather date a McDonald’s cashier

FreddyFucable · 2024-02-15T00:59:01+00:00

Models aren’t hot anymore, they look for weird faces and diversity so there’s zero standard of beauty. That way people will turn gay more easily because they can’t assess objective beauty for themselves and need to be told.

Secret_Government795 · 2024-02-14T21:21:29+00:00

I’ve had a short fling with an IG model, luckily she was actually a cool person but it didn’t excite me as it would for another man (especially men my age). When you’re around hot women and date them more (or even just being in those type of circles), you realize that they’re still as human as any other woman you come across irl.

ftdrain · 2024-02-15T02:52:32+00:00

There are tons of women that ARE really hot in photos and real life, are you gonna pedastalize them now?

Demmitri · 2024-02-15T03:08:34+00:00

Dating models is so 90's... Now ask yourself why did you had this idea implanted in your brain.

recigar · 2024-02-15T04:15:43+00:00

when I started doing photography of amateur models it totally killed the illusion. like it’s kind of easy to take a photo and make a person seem sweet or cute or whatever, but it doesn’t represent the person at all, and some of them are dicks and that reallllly changes it for ya

eyeznwonder · 2024-02-14T20:18:36+00:00

It doesn't matter how hot,sexy,beautiful a person is somewhere somebody is sick of their shit

Puzzleheaded-Cook116 · 2024-02-14T19:11:25+00:00

“Finally” is crazy. Late bloomer I guess

No_Arm_4505 · 2024-02-14T17:24:06+00:00

Also most of them are high end escorts

TodayOrTmrw · 2024-02-14T19:14:09+00:00

Speak for yourself. I hate the look of female models. I can’t see the attraction. I love regular looking girls though

RiptideRookie · 2024-02-14T23:49:53+00:00

My girlfriend calls them Skinwalkers 🤣

legatlegionis · 2024-02-14T23:53:28+00:00

Fucking based my man

Express_Taste5565 · 2024-02-15T00:13:50+00:00

I agree. I am friends with a few models and while they are all cute, many of them seem normal without all the effects. they. More importantly, I’ve seen many models who have a less attractive face but meet other criteria (thin and above a certain height) that they can get signed with an agency. With that in mind, I try to not be as intimidated by them

jessm125 · 2024-02-15T02:20:32+00:00

There's a ton of editing done after shooting so it can be one of those dont meet your heroes kind of things

AtDaLastMinute · 2024-02-15T03:13:47+00:00

I work at a major hospital in NYC. I'm acquainted with some of the most beautiful women you'll ever see. None of them are interested in a modeling job. I don't shit where I eat so I don't even talk to them like I'm interested in anything beyond co-working.

Sad_Farm · 2024-02-15T03:47:23+00:00

Now imagine if makeup and filters didn’t exist. What a world we live in. Thats exactly why people need to go outside. So many of these girls look nothing like their pics. If you want a reality check watch a girl edit and instagram photo.

puma085 · 2024-02-15T07:24:49+00:00

I think that's a very intereesting insight. Have to admit though that I have never thought of dating models at all. There are no models were usually live, a mere 100.000 inhabitants city with no model industry. Until late December 2024 I am living in LA for work related further education so in theory I could think about dating models. But it is impossible to turn theory into reality. As foreign nobody I can hardly infilitrate the circles where these models normally are.

I am not really sure if I really want to date a model even if I could.

Like the op already said they might live in different world and could also act quite weird sometimes.

That's nothing I have experienced in person it's just something my common sense tells me.

Down to earth women are the way to go.

Ragnardanneskjunior · 2024-02-15T12:18:49+00:00

Train yourself to be moved more by a woman's treatment of you and her character rather than her looks. Also, do not do anything to garner a woman's favor or edit yourself. Do your best to immunize yourself to a woman's beauty so that you avoid pedastalizing them in any way. You don't have to go to the lengths that I did but I used to go to strip clubs and take no money with me on purpose so that when I talked to the girls I could clearly see all the little things they tried to get me to open my wallet. I am pretty jacked and good looking myself but I worshipped women for the longest time and so I needed to change my mindset. It is not for everyone but if you spend enough time around women that are vying for you attention it helps you to value physical charms more appropriately. I have had plenty of lap dances on the house but that is really just a side benefit of treating the girls like human beings more than just a set of tits and ass. In my experience girls that rank 6-7/10 tend to be the most fun in bed and much less of a pain in the ass. Female beauty is not all that rare.

Vast-Shape7148 · 2024-02-15T15:36:04+00:00

Bro I know a few models and I mean with make up and having the talent of taking great photos they look great in them but take that away and they're just ok! Meanwhile some random girl at the gym with no make-up is 100x hotter

cemj86 · 2024-02-15T18:24:00+00:00

Change your mindset to a woman not even really being hot or beautiful unless shes in your life doing what you like.

I hardly look at women with "like" or" beauty" until after I see that they respond to me positively. Take the pressure off yourself.

I personally never liked models, that's my take.

BonusPale5544 · 2024-02-17T19:54:01+00:00

No offense but its like a kid learning santa isnt real lol

Viktor2500 · 2024-02-14T21:47:11+00:00

There's some truth to that. There are some models which are able to pursue a modelling career because they look good with a slight adjustment to their photos. But there are also women who look just as good IRL.

I'll never forget this girl I saw in a club in Malaga in Spain. She walked in the club with some friends who were all visibly very successful. I'm talking wearing Rolexes, all designer clothes, very fit etc. To this day this is the most perfect woman I've ever seen. She had everything!

Edit: typo

Sunrut · 2024-02-14T18:14:46+00:00

Also these "beautiful" women tend to be very lazy in bed...

void-space- · 2024-02-14T22:44:52+00:00

i dated a professional model and know several. what do you want to know about them

dalen52 · 2024-02-14T19:09:00+00:00

Look at Tom Brady. Buy low and sell high! He got his kids and dipped for better

z0rb0r · 2024-02-15T06:49:05+00:00

I dunno but I once saw Adriana Lima in person and she looked exactly like she did on everything. But she's probably an exception.

uniborn91 · 2024-02-15T08:54:12+00:00

you are delusional if you think models or other high status women wont respond to you differently than normies (in turn forcing you to respond differently).

please play the game for a few years before making misguided statements for the sake of upvotes that only add to confusion/delusion of noobs

Psiborg0099 · 2024-02-14T18:05:48+00:00

My problem is I see all of these gorgeous curvy models with bbl and heavy makeup/sexy outfits (I’m into curvy women with good figures and large, round butts). The thing is, most average women could be just about as attractive if they would also change their fashion sense to something better. But trying to change them feels weird and like I’m fetishizing them. In contrast, most regular women I see walking around seem so bland in their loose shirts, jeans and no makeup. I love glamorous, feminine women in leggings and tight, form-fitting clothes, with confidence in their curvaceous bodies

MrAnonPoster · 2024-02-14T20:00:20+00:00

And that, kids, is what is called "cope".

WFOpizza · 2024-02-14T17:24:51+00:00

photogenic is just a PC way of saying attractive. This way not attractive people can call themselves non-photogenic.

Anyway, there is much more to a woman than 'beauty'.

iamozone206 · 2024-02-15T00:03:05+00:00

pandavega · 2024-02-15T01:19:24+00:00

I had a dream I was Kendal Jenners boyfriend and the amount of insecurity and anxiety I felt was pretty intense… it wasn’t even real.

18cmOfGreatness · 2024-02-15T07:20:02+00:00

I mean, anyone who isn't blind should know this by the time they are 18. If you never saw a cassier who's hotter than 90% of top models, then you are just not very attentive or good at determining looks. The hottest girls are usually found in the gym, the girls who actually train their body and have that ass from doing a lot of squats. A cute face+squats+diet=top 5% girl.

LimitlessHarmony · 2024-02-15T07:41:01+00:00

There are models who are still naturally beautiful without makeup or surgery but this is rare. Also what is photogenic is not necessary good looking in rea life 3D. I've dated my share. It's nice but as you age and you realize looks is only part of the equation in a relationship. Even if you max out physical sex time it's only 20% of the relationship. That said, nothing wrong with someone who is pleasing to your eyes.

One question that I started asking myself: If the girl had all the qualities I was looking for in a partner, what is the minimum physical requirement I would accept? Then the answer surprised me and freed me up for more options.

That said, totally get a young ambitious guy wanting to experience what its like with a few models and date them > been there, done that.

Pharaon_Atem · 2024-02-15T08:08:13+00:00

Tbh I always found many cashier more attractive for me than any professional models xD

cytomome · 2024-02-15T08:14:31+00:00

Any episode of Americans Next Top Model could have learned ya that. They're just photogenic.

unevendopamine2 · 2024-02-15T10:02:36+00:00

I’ve seen some models who are FIRE in real life… and some who are not

SithLordJediMaster · 2024-02-15T20:27:48+00:00

Wrong...

Immediate_Clue_3980 · 2024-02-20T08:56:26+00:00

U must be white

Pyroftw3 · 2024-02-21T02:54:49+00:00

Yes, i personally found that the most attractive girls i banged/dated usually look WAAAY better in person and on pictures they look somewhat average/cute, the ones that look insanely good on pictures are mostly not even close as good as in person.
