Hello all,

Long time reader, first time thread starter.

I'm about to get into the modelling industry on a casual basis and see where that gets me. It'll be on a casual basis whilst still focussing on my full-time commitments (engineering degree in which I'm struggling to find direction).
In my early teenage year I'd dabbled in a bit of it after my old sent some headshots to an agency. Since then I've only recently got the height to come back into it as an adult.
I've obviously got the looks down pat if I may say so, it's more a combination of inner game (decent to below average) and flagging social functioning that had let me down over the years.

Has anyone on the forum got down this route, and as a pipeline to meeting other models/others in the industry/anyone else, how did that go?

Models can't spell.

Facebook game.

Get some pro pictures and put them on facebook. If you'll be traveling, take pictures with hot female models and post them, also every exotic destination you visit, post a picture of it. Fashion show, post a pic of you on the catwalk.

Behave like celebrity, with occasional picture of you holding a kitten or helping a beggar, or hugging your mom or having fun with your friends (the friends pic has to have a "they are like family, hold them close" bullshit). Always take a pic of everything, but keep away from something that can make you look gay or too nice.

90% status pictures (shows, hot chicks, portraits, traveling)

10% your "sensitive side" (helping people, valuing people close to you (this will make any chick want to be in your 'close people' elite), expressing your empathy for hurricane victims, etc.)

Important: Never be a hater. Remember, no one is better in overall than a celebrity, so celebrity hates no one.

In high-school I was scouted and worked with 2 different agencies from the age of 15-17.

I stopped because the competition was very tough - it's not easy to have success as a male model (even minor success)

…I was being sent on castings multiple times a week and was only getting booked jobs for jobs every few months - not worth it in terms of $

But it was cool working with different photographers, and now I have a lot of dope pictures that I'll hopefully hang onto for a long time.

The highlight of my short modeling stint was banging a 24 year old assistant who worked at my agency (I was 17 then…she was my 3rd notch I believe)

Posting pictures on fb can help you if they're for a cool magazine or some legit campaign. I got a lot of shit from my boys for posting fb pics - but obviously some girls liked it and asked questions.

Another upside of being with a model agency is that depending on your agent, you can get invited to a lot of cool parties. I was young and had no game, so I didn't swoop any models, but if I did that now I'd probably have a better chance.

It might be hard to do well unless you're incredibly good-looking or have some unique facial structure that makes you stand out from the rest

…but it's definitely worth doing it for the cool experiences, dope photos, parties, and opportunities to game hot models (at castings or parties), and to gain some value - if you intend to post pics on your instagram or fb etc.

good luck

Ah this shit again...

I have modeled for American Crew men's hair products for print campaigns from 18 until this year with a couple of gaps in there.

As far as the hoes go....I've been recognized by a couple of girls in hair salons, but unfortunately, these hoes were 5's at best.

Just Instagram flex your photos and tag all the model hashtags.

Attend model agency parties + game as usual.

If you're working with a top agency, your agent will likely be invited to host their talent at different clubs/parties.

Most clubs like having models, celebs, good looking people etc. at their venue.

Otherwise you can be friends with models and ask them where they usually go on a friday or saturday night.

When I'm home from school I work as a cater-waiter…bunch of the guys I work with are actors or models - a bunch are signed to Wilhelmina…and they all get invited to the same spots on certain nights (clubs in NYC like 1Oak, PHD, Tenjune etc.)

^This. Plus when you model you get juiced in with every promoter in town like a mutherfucker.

This past NYE I attended a private loft modeling agency party with 2 sexy model chicks.

Open bar + 2 models to accompany me + banging in the bathroom = successful NYE.

You will get 100x more pussy being a 'bad role model'. And not have to stand around a bunch of gay dudes in your underwear for pennies.
