This is actually a video about model scouts going along the Trans-Siberian Railroad looking for talent. What amazes me is how absolutely normal these girls look - nothing out-standing at all. You can typically find better looking girls in any foreign language department of a Siberian university.

I watched a stream of that modelling documentary. Near the end of it the scout/former-model woman talks about models combining their work with prostitution, especially if they weren't making much money from the former. She said it was "pretty common", "normal" and that certain agencies, even some of the elite ones help the girls set it all up.

Yeah I saw the film they made about Tokyo and following the lives of two young Russian models there. Seemed a pretty shitty life to be honest and an industry filled with slimy bastards out to exploit. Certainly not glamorous.

I think that mom used to be pretty hot back in the day.

Most of those girls, if they were of age, would be mobbed at just about any American club like queen bees in a hive. Their "nothing specialness" is all relative.

Russian girls are beautiful for sure but they turn into this when they get older

I actually think you will likely find that more with Scandinavian. girls.

Of course it depends on the girl and their lifestyle. I do think a lot of factors that may have previously aged Russian women, are changing as more skin care products, a more healthy diet and improved attitudes to exercise come to the fore. Of course the traditional heavy drinking and "hard life" culture doesn't help with ageing.

I've met 40 year old Russian women who I first thought was in in her mid 20's, who lived most of her adult life in America eating a raw diet and really looking after herself.

I'd say the more conscientious one's who are in their 20's are going to look pretty decent well into their 40's.

A Russian 7 is like an American 8 (with makeup). Sure a lot of the girls in the video were sorta plain but at least they're not fat.

You know whats funny is that I dont think to highly of MOST of them girls. As a rule of thumb most white girls that are considered 8's actually look like 6's to me, or maybe i should say that they're 6's and 8's dont look that far apart. Mainly because I am attracted to Latina or Mixed women

But with that said, if most of those girls are at least 7's (according to yall ratings) White guys have the largest pool to pull from. Every time i see a PUA or "Gamer" post pics of the women they bang and what they consider upper tier(7-8-9) I always say They can do the "numbers game" because they have enough 7-8-9's to make the numbers work. But i noticed that being a black guy in Philly that I see maybe a couple 7's a month, rarely an 8 and almost no 9's. That is why black/latina 7's in Philly are treated like LA 9's ironically if they went to LA they would be 5/6. But my point is that the number games dont work if you only intend on talking to 7s and above in Urban (black/latina) Philly.

That's because model agencies are not looking necessarily for what we are. They are looking for tall, very skinny somewhat androgenous girls with quirky features. That certainly is not what I search for on a night out and I doubt you do either. The girls in the video are not chosen for their face but for how clothes hang on them at shows and on the runway. If the video was about a casting for young Russian girls who have pretty faces then you'd see a line up more akin to what we all find attractive.

It's like watching formula one cars in a race and saying "those cars are shit,there's no trunk space for my shopping".

Watched the whole Girl Model documentary.
Not sure what to think.
Yea theres exploitation on both side..but i think the doc was almost more about the problems the recruiter woman was going through.
It seems more like she is mentally unstable in her job..but doesnt know how to get out of it.
For a decent looking girl..there was never any mention of a man in her life..
She's probably to crazy and nomadic to even be getting laid

I dont think it went for enough into how the models feel about things when they get shipped around..or the people that own these companies.
I wanted to see more info those subject.
