Would you date a supermodel?

[Walt832]

Nope a super massive high maintenance female = driving a Bugatti Veyron then take it to a dealership for maintenance let me know how much is the bill and goes back to your garage for storage. 🤦‍♂️.

Not even if i hit the lottery as many may do is get the hottest model for couple nights. The funny part is that she just laughs because all she had to do is spread we are dumb 🤤. She gets paid for only couple hours and make massive money.

I rather stay with normal female doesn't matter how she looks. All it matter is her ❤️.

[Staximus]

Beautiful women are constantly bombarded with horny bastards trying to screw them. I don't know if I could deal with that without getting violent. I think I'd rather date a girl who is more average looking. I don't think it's realistic for a model girl to want to date an old bum like me. I'm a good person but I'm not the type of guy you ever see a model with (rich, famous, tall, fit, etc.). I think I wouldn't fit the image she is trying to project, and that's what models are mostly concerned with.

[menina]

I wouldn't. I don't like the fashion industry, I think it's too fake and toxic. Besides I'm not a supermodel myself, I don't have a perfect body nor perfect looks so I couldn't be with someone who would mistreat me for not being perfect.

[InventorofWarp]

I'm not a supermodel, but as a man who models part-time myself, I'd like to think not every model is just vapid and vain and shallow and honestly, yeah, I work out a lot trying to maintain a desired body image, doesn't mean my standards for a partner are ridiculously high.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp Then you must be the only one in this industry who thinks like that. And it's nice to see someone who thinks differently.

[InventorofWarp]

Definitely not. I've met plenty of other models, women included, who don't mind a partner being somewhat heavier than them. Most at least want someone to work out and take pride in their body and physical state which I think is reasonable. I workout a good amount and like to maintain a certain physical standard for myself. I don't see people who want the same as being unreasonable.

But personally? I'm into older women to begin with and having someone with a little bit of, um, padding, in all the right places and a soft body that moves in all the best ways when moved around is amazing. Also my greatest fantasy is being the young boytoy to some woman so being FAR more physically sound than her and essentially ripped and being able to please her while she's soft for me and just enjoys me is something that greatly enthuses me.

[InventorofWarp]

Biggest misconceptions:
-We're all vain. Again, I don't know about supermodels because this is not where I make all my money from but, most models that I have met as well as myself typically are far more than just that. A lot have their own hobbies, interests, primary income source, etc. I'm a musician/singer first. And a lot can genuinely have stimulating conversations and talk about feelings and stuff with you.
-Everyone has ridiculously high super crazy standards for their partners and are only interests in the surface. Like I said, I like older women in their prime ideally 35-60, with bodies that are soft and supple. Abs and ridiculous muscles not required for me. I know one girl who's into fat guys. Like, she's a chubby chaser and this chick works out with me sometimes, she's far from overweight or anything. And I mean, obviously everyone has their fetishes. A great set of feet and tattoos do it for me. Another girl I met loves guys with super long beards. I know a guy who has a thing for women with big areolas. To each their own.

Absolutely true facts:
-Yes, we are all insanely insecure and our self-esteem is less than shit. That's honestly a massive part of why anyone ever even gets into this to begin with. I STILL have trouble taking my shirt off for shoots because of how ugly I constantly think I am, I just can't picture myself being attractive to anyone even when I am literally told I am attractive. I can recognize that I'm far from fat or anything and I'm at least decently attractive, but am I attractive-attractive? Well, no.
-Most models are on coke or some other kinds of drugs. Oxy, LSD, something. I was for a good time. Thankfully I kicked a lot of it. But, the industry is definitely drug-fuelled because of the preceding point.

[DiegoO]

@InventorofWarp Well, no.
-"Most models are on coke or some other kinds of drugs. Oxy, LSD, something. I was for a good time. Thankfully I kicked a lot of it. But, the industry is definitely drug-fuelled because of the preceding point".

Holy damn.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp Wow! I'm surprised by so many things that you said. I could never imagine that a model could be into chubby people. It's interesting.
Also it isn't common to see guys your age into older women. You gave me a lot of useful info so thank you for that. I might not judge models and supermodels like I'm used to. Maybe you guys are different from what I imagined.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp I'm glad you managed to get rid of drugs. That could have destroyed your life.

[InventorofWarp]

@DiegoO Completely true man. It's one of the 100% true stereotypes alongside everyone having horrible self-esteem.
Literally the main reason I started doing it besides the money is that it gives me sort of a confidence boost but of course, I naturally think less than shit of myself so it's only temporary. It doesn't provide the feeling of contributing something to the world or emotional investment that music does for me.

I remember doing a photoshoot for a small tattoo magazine in Montreal and during my break when I went back to the change rooms I accidentally stepped into one of the private rooms (there's usually a single shared changing room just with dividers for all the lesser talents like myself and then more private VIP rooms for the headliners and full-page centerfolds). I walked in on three people literally doing coke off of paper plates with a platinum straw before their next shoot. I expected them to get pissed and tell me to fuckoff and they were just like "you don't tell anyone and you can have two lines before your next go" and I was just like, "nah, I saw nothing man, I don't need anything, thanks".

This is pretty typical.
It numbs the emotional feeling of "let's go take off my shirt to show my horrible body and piece of shit, pathetic, loser self for this next magazine shoot". A lot of the reason why models make it as far as they do is because they're so driven to prove to themselves they're worth something... it'll never be enough sadly.
The other reason is because the really popular models get worked to death by their agents and are constantly flying and having jet-lag so doing coke and Oxy is the only way they can actually function adequately.

[DiegoO]

@InventorofWarp Fucking sad. I remember watching a report of Vice, related to sexual explotation in modeling industry. The male model who they interview, said things that made me suspect that industry is controlled by the organized crime; possibly is interwined with money laundry.

[InventorofWarp]

@menina We're just people man, everyone has things they can like about everyone, all have our different tastes/preferences, no one's just completely vapid or a cardboard cutout because of who or what they are. It's just like pornstars and sex workers, you can't just shoehorn everyone into these roles, they're all just people.
Yeah well, I mean I know one guy who was 20 who married a 43-year-old.
And my crush and closest friend/life teacher turns 42 soon and she's awesome. She's also a former sex worker and the sweetest, kindest, most innocent and nicest person on Earth, I wouldn't have got off drugs if not for her and she's gorgeous and super smart.
But, yeah, I'm also just not a normal guy period, I'm still waiting for the right woman at almost 25 and most people who learn that after seeing me shirtless or finding out I model and perform as a musician are surprised.
Best reaction was from this one guy, let's call him "X" who was, rather large, he was like 300 lbs and his girlfriend and her sister were all like "YOU'RE A VIRGIN? Even X lost it, what, when you were 12, right?".
I just take it in stride, joke about it, laugh it off and hilariously end up the most popular guy suddenly because women fawn over it being romantic, which is exactly what I hope my woman thinks one day. But for now I only have eyes for one even though I'll never really end up with her.

Just treat everyone like a Human regardless and you'll find odds are they probably will you too.

[InventorofWarp]

@DiegoO I mean, it's not like literally every facet is controlled by The Illuminati. I'd just go to my photoshoots or sets and do my job and things go well. But there are a lot of drugs because there's abuse, rampant self-esteem and horrific self-image issues and depression and control and overworking for the top performers.
I've heard instances of sex abuse but have yet to see it, maybe I haven't been doing this long enough, I don't know but I've definitely seen abuse situations and I completely turned down offers of working with specific companies in the future because of it.
I mean like, the Canadian sex entertainment industry is basically controlled from Montreal and it's like three guys who basically own the whole thing. It's like any other industry. Is the financial sector completely squeaky clean? No. What about Ranching? Fuck no, I've been to sketchy af Ranches. Farming? Fuck no.
Humans are Humans, we muddy things we touch, doesn't make it all immediately evil.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp I know you guys are, but everyone sees you as gods and goddesses so the things that you're telling me are a surprise to me.
Yeah I know everyone has their own tastes/preferences but I still can't see how someone who has a perfect body can be attracted to someone who is overweight or chubby.
I have no problems with pornstars and sex workers, I know they're human beings too. You said you're waiting for the right woman when you're almost 25 and I'm almost 30 waiting for the right man too. People might get shocked but it's because of your looks. In my case it's because of my age. I hope you can find her soon.
Well I'm not used to be treated like a human being, but I treat respect people as long as they respect me.

[DiegoO]

@InventorofWarp True.

[InventorofWarp]

@menina The shock is also probably due to my age too. Usually one of the first things commented afterwards is something to the effect of "damn, I lost mine in my teens".

Gods and goddesses? Lol, I don't think most people sees models that way. If they do, well, that's kinda why anyone agrees to modelling, as said. It boosts someone's confidence.
And I don't have a perfect body. Do I have abs and muscles and tattoos? Yes. Do I workout a lot? Also yes. Do I take pride in perfecting my body to the upmost that I can? Yes. At the end of the day I have my imperfections like any Human. I grew fast and I'm rather tall. By 15 I was already over 6 feet so I have stretch marks on my shoulders and near my armpits. I have a scar on my upper lip from a childhood injury, it's hidden mostly by my stubble atm 'cause I haven't shaved in a few weeks but it's noticeable. I have another scar from another childhood injury on my right stomach, it's fairly prominent as well. I had horrible acne in high school including all over my face, back and even my chest and while it went away, I still have TONS of marks and scars and freckles and stuff all over my chest, back and right up along my neck from back when it was a problem to remind me of my days getting called "grease" when I was in school.
I understand what it's like to feel like you're so ugly no one wants to be around you let alone wants to touch you or love you. And I mean, I just don't know what else to say. My body isn't perfect, I'm not perfect and I like older women, especially who have a bit more to grab I mean, putting anyone on a pedestal is just setting them up for failure. No one is a God or a Goddess. Except my crush, she's perfect.

[InventorofWarp]

It's hilarious actually because she's the perfect example too. Every time we hang out she's like "god I'm old" or "my greys are horrible" or, lately since the pandemic since she's apparently gained weight "oh god I've gotten big".
Like I said, she's 42 soon so I guess getting into her 4th decade of life has shot the self-criticism up and it's funny 'cause she remarks how impressive my physique is and she says all this stuff criticizing herself and I'm just sitting there next to her like "my fucking God woman, you're so fucking unfairly sexy gorgeous perfect". She's like moving her stomach and her tits and going "I gained 20 lbs during all of this'', I'm just like "... huh, what was the question?".

[menina]

@InventorofWarp Well you're still young, so your case is not as "serious" as mine. I'm sure that if I lose my virginity it will be only when I'm in my 30's and I guess it's going to be really to find someone who accepts me.
You have an interesting life story and you're changing my views on models. I know you're human but since you're attractive I guess some people don't see you as a human being. Hence my comment about gods and goddess. I don't see anyone like that even celebrities.
I also know what feels to be bullied and called ugly. I've been dealing with that my whole life. So yes I'm a little bit jealous of models and good looking women.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp She sounds like me Lol I'm my biggest critique. I can tell that you like her a lot, you guys should stay together. :)

[InventorofWarp]

I mean I'm only 5 years younger than you. Not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.
Honestly, no. I mean maybe but until I was 20 I barely ever got noticed at all. Which was honestly preferable because when I did people commented on how ugly, greasy or nerdy and geeky I was. In my 20s I either still tend to not get noticed or I get noticed solely for looks and talent. Which, tbh, the pandemic is really stifling atm so that's great to get noticed for, I guess, but it's hard to stand out right now.
Jealousy isn't the path. Most of the popular kids in school who bullied me stayed in their hometown and work 9 to 5 jobs now and a lot had kids by the time they were 22. Very few went farther than that. I'm alone, sure, lonely, sure, still waiting for someone who might not show but I've travelled North America, lived across this massive country and done a lot and everything I've wanted to do or learn I have. Languages, instruments, skills, I never let anything stop me. And I might be attractive now, but I had to work at it, I was bullied and was a loser nerd in school who dreamed of getting the popular girl and having a wife. The guys like me who model are no one to be jealous of. I had to suffer to earn things.

[InventorofWarp]

We're not "together". I have a crush on her. She's taken unfortunately, we're just sort of best friends.
But god I'd die happy if she ever wanted me.
I do kinda think she has a crush on me. I never would've gotten off drugs or even became a model and musician if it weren't for her, I was pretty far down in my life. Since I've turned things around, she's been my biggest supporter and fan. Plus when I play something she tends to be pretty impressed.
She was by my side back when no one else was and I needed someone. She clearly saw something.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp Yes you are but that makes a difference in this sense. It might not make in others but it makes in this one. I can't believe that a man will be interested in me knowing that I'm in my 30's and a virgin. Plus I'm not good looking and I'm not thin.
I'm sure you had to work hard to get where you are now but I feel that good looking women have it easier.
Yeah I know that jealousy isn't the path but I can't help it. I'm also jealous of people who are proud of who they are and live their lives freely. This is something I'm not and I don't live like that.
It's a shame that she's taken and I'm glad she saved your life.

[InventorofWarp]

@menina Can I ask why you're not proud of who you are and don't live your life freely? What's preventing you from doing that and just enjoying who you are?
I can assure you figuring this out and enjoying yourself is much better and healthier and just less exhausting than jealousy or hating on everyone else for who they are, I'm sure everyone has their problems.
I mean, I get it. I think a lot of the time how I can't really ever believe any woman would ever want to be with me at this point since I'm a virgin man in his mid-20s, what fucking woman would want that, I'm no woman's fantasy. But I still always dreamed of remaining "pure" for my woman and I'm not willing to let go of that. I never imagined I'd be waiting this long. I just constantly try to picture that and how amazing it would be if I did still somehow manage to get someone who loves that about me and wants me and gives me that first experience and wants to bond with me on that kind of a level and it pushes me forward.

And I'm not, she deserves the best in terms of a man and nothing less. I'm not that guy, he is. I help her how I can.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp I'm ashamed of myself, some days I hate myself and I can't my life freely because I'm in the wrong for being myself and I'm too worried about what others think of me.
I know that I shouldn't spend my time hating on others or being jealous but I can't help it. There's a part of me who wishes that I was like them.
The way you feel about your virginity is exactly the way I feel about mine. The only difference is that you're attractive and you can actually be with whoever you want to. I can't do that and I'm not attractive.
I see, but at least she cares about you.

[InventorofWarp]

I think you're too hard about yourself. I recognize I'm conventionally attractive in the case of like, yeah, I have typically attractive body and facial features. But I rarely ever actually "feel" attractive. There's a big difference. I was a nerd, loser and complete outcast as a kid. Girls laughed when I asked them to the dances and told me how ugly I was and called me "grease" for my bad acne and laughed at the idea of me thinking any girl would ever want to touch an acne-ridden, awkward, ugly kid like me.
I saw one of those girls recently too. She's never left our hometown, went to Uni here, graduated and has no idea what to do with her life and never really learned any other skills or hobbies, her parents divorced and she's lost. Mine divorced when I was young and I had to go through everything she did when I was just a kid. But, I honestly couldn't help but feel bad for her. So I talked to her, listened, and at the end when she asked to go back to her (parent's) place together I politely said no and left but I do think she's hard on herself too.
You have to find something to take value in your life. To feel worth in. For me it's music and my girls (dogs) and my crush/friend/teacher. You need to ask yourself what's preventing you from doing the things you want and living how you want and progressively tear those obstacles down. Start small, otherwise you're just gonna be unhappy forever. Is that what you want?
And I'm sure you're not unattractive. Everyone is attractive to someone somehow. There is someone for all of us.

[DiegoO]

Menina, everyone has problems. Traduce that jealousy into your own personal insatisfactions.

Whatever jealousy you feel from seen others who seem happy, is just a proyection of your deepest insecurities, and of what you ideally think would make you happy. Nothing is at it seems. A person could appear to be living a great life, but behind doors, perhaps no.

[InventorofWarp]

You know, if it helps, I'm jealous of my brother ALL the time. I'm the loser of my family. I'm still sort of recovering from my addiction still trying to get on my feet. I just barely cover my bills, live with family after moving back during the pandemic and it's kind of ruining things for me right now and I spend most days wondering how I'll survive the month and want to cry if I check my bank account. I'm just starting out my career really.
If you can call it that.
My brother is a former man-whore who fucked everything, had girls fawning over him despite being kind of a fat guy with no real skills or talents who never went to school or bothered to learn anything like I did and yet somehow women just flocked to him, even our mother clearly singled him our early as the "winner" between the two of us to the point that these days they both still see me as the ex-junkie just waiting for me to relapse and need money. He even fucked our step-cousin and yet now he's engaged and works a stable job as a post office clerk. I'm insanely fucking jealous.

But... I don't think that way. Because can he really be happy? Fuck no, he didn't want to be a post office clerk as a kid. I still have time to chase my dreams and I am. I have no one tying me down or stopping me. I can't imagine his relationship is smooth since he's fucked everything with a pulse including his extended family (gross) and he's just not a good or interesting or skilled guy and I'm sure she sees that and I don't particularly like her either. I've had the time to develop myself thanks to being alone that he never did and I feel able to attract someone better that he never could because of it. I have skills he'll NEVER accomplish. Speaking multiple languages, playing multiple instruments, I don't even think my brother knows how to work on a car so I'm sure his fiancee can't go to him for that. I can for my girl. I took a look at their car once already.
Negativity is never the constructive path.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp I understand everything you're saying but I'm just being realistic. I feel like your friend, except that my parents separated when I was 9 and it was the best thing that could happen to me at that time.
I need to find that something you're talking about. I know what's preventing me from living my life to the fullest but in order to change that I need to work and work and work to leave the country where I live. I feel miserable here and if I don't move my life will no longer make sense.
I'm not sure if I'm attractive to someone, if I was I wouldn't a virgin at 29. It's ridiculous and it makes me feel ashamed. I see people my age with their lives all figured out, married and with kids and here I am. Stupid, worthless, hating myself and living in a country that I hate. Of course I know that the only person who can take me out of this situation is myself but when you hate yourself everything is much harder.

[menina]

@DiegoO I agree with you and that's what drives me crazy!

[menina]

@InventorofWarp Yes you helped me. That's how I used to feel about my sister, fortunately I grew out of that.
I do think you have reasons to feel proud of yourself and to no longer feel jealous of your brother. I know that negativity isn't the path but it's hard to be positive when everything around you is falling apart and you hate yourself.

[DiegoO]

Many times we block ourself from finding happyness, for reasons that feeds our unhappyness.

Don't give up to reasons that normalize your insecurities, or justifie them; those are the very ones that gives strenght to your jealousies.

Stop beating down yourself with things you haven't done and experience, or with how dissapointing you think your life is. You got a present to enjoy, a past to remember or forget, and a future to create.

[menina]

I'm not blocking myself from finding happiness, I feel miserable because I live in the middle of s**t.

[InventorofWarp]

I understand this, I really do.
I've never felt a full part of my country. I'm a native German-speaker in an English and French country because I was raised by an immigrant parent.
I came THIS close to leaving for Australia when I was 18 for University because I figured I'd be happy there for a change and actually feel like a part of something for once like I could be at home somewhere.
But I didn't. And thank god, I never would've met my crush or any of the other amazing people I've met since then.
Join some groups, even if they're just support groups. You need some positivity in your life desperately. I understand why you're so down but it isn't healthy. You need to start working to actively enjoy your life or you never will. And then you'll just find it comes naturally because you did the work.

And just because you're a virgin at 29 doesn't mean you're unattractive. It just means you're Human and shit happens.
And not many people have things figured out at 29.
You are sooo too hard on yourself man. You seem like a really nice and introspective person who deserves better from herself. Give yourself some fuckin' credit.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp And I was never part of my country. I left when I was 3, didn't back since then and I had some people mocking me because of my accent or not believing that I'm Angolan.
I wish I could find a support group but I'm pretty sure there isn't one for me. Not many people experience the same that I'm experiencing now. Some people feel happy here.
As for being a virgin, yes a lot of s**t happened to me and I already accepted that if I ever lose my virginity it will be only when I'm 35 or 36 which is weird.
I do need some positivity in my life, I was getting close to it but then the pandemic came and social life was gone. Now I feel lost and I don't have many friends.
I need to reset my life.

[InventorofWarp]

Things will be hard.
My life was just getting good when the pandemic hit too and then things got ruined.
I had just started making progress in my career, finally struck out on my own with an apartment in Vancouver, had just met my crush and was enjoying hanging out with her... then I had to move back home and I've been apart from her for almost two years since.
I'm letting it crush me. I WILL see her again. Talking to her from afar is not the same and we'll have so much to tell each other when we do see each other again. We'll have so much to catch up on. We'll have changed so much, we'll be entirely different people. And it will be awesome to meet again.

Don't let the worst things bring you down. You're stronger than the world around you, you can use it. It's a challenge, rise up to it. Build your life back. Find a group, SOMETHING, there has to be SOMETHING out there. Even if it's some reading group that you share a common interest with.
Induce positivity and positivity will induce in you.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp I understand how you feel. This pandemic ruined everything and our relationship with our friends or crushes will never be the same. It sucks but hopefully this will end one day.
Thank you for trying to help me. I need to get out of this deep hole that I'm in.
Hope things get better between you and your crush.
I'll keep your words in mind.

[InventorofWarp]

Nothing lasts forever. Including situations.

[menina]

@InventorofWarp That's true. I need to think like you.

[Razp_Sorbet]

I think the real question is would a supermodel date me

[REDHOTLINE]

Thats the point smart. girl 👍

[Gofloin]

Funny, Looking at your profile pic, your worthy!

[Desconhecida]

I'd date anyone as long as they were worthy of my love.

[TheAfrikan]

@Desconhecida I do love your comment since It is absolutely a nice one.

[Desconhecida]

Thank you. 😇

[TheAfrikan]

You are welcome lady @Desconhecida

[OlderAndWiser]

If she "had a thing" for older men and we were both single. . . I'd go for it.

[RolandCuthbert]

Dude, I tried too. But it seemed like every photo we took had to be a doggoned photoshoot. Then the sex, wasn't even that good!

It was like she was so sexy, she felt she didn't have to do anything. And she was constantly worried about her appearance.

Never again dude.

[VikingWarLord]

I have, they're too high maintenance, and they all are very similar, you can get the 8s 9s and 10s if you have a lot of money. Get a new one every week if you want, just show the $$$$ and they're yours. They're actually easier to get than b-tches who are average.

[lucas262]

I think it sounds better than it actually is. They'd probably be busy, don't get paid much, don't eat much, I'd imagine there is a lot of temptation to be with someone other than you, also these are just people and they'll be the 1st to tell you they do not look like that 24/7

Celebrities are just people to. Who get up and Go to a job, and when you see how films are made its not all that glamorous

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Would never date a supermodel, would never date an influencer, and would never date an Instagram "model". They're the top three most annoying types of females. Constantly showing off, seeking attention, posing half naked etc.

[VIVANT]

If we liked each other and I didn’t know they were a SM. Then by the time I found out I wouldn’t care. But unlikely I’d go after someone who was a SM if I knew from the start. I’d just assume they were shallow. Not cool of me I know.

[MCheetah]

Only if she didn't actually act like a supermodel. Otherwise yes, I wouldn't hold their (pretty shallow and dumb) career against them. I just suspect most supermodels are superficial, and shallow when it comes to dating.

[Aassem]

I wouldn't because I already know women who are as beautiful as super models if not more (Tall, slender and pretty), and their world doesn't revolve around fashion.

[kyleelyn199723]

Honestly, no. I feel like supermodels are very very into their looks to the point where all they care about is their looks. They may even like validation of other peoples opinions way too much

[DryGermanGuy]

Supermodels are on the road 300 days per year, rushing to their next gig. What relationship would that even be... :-/

[hellacray]

Haha ask me again when I actually get the opportunity to date a model.

[DiegoO]

When that will be?

[hellacray]

Never

[slatyb]

Some for sure, not all, but why would they want to date me?

[Cherry234]

Yeah sure. Why not? As long as he's boyfriend material.

[AngelLily]

A Male one Possibly Yes but He would Need Morals and also not Dress scantily.

[FinalFantasyBro]

If she were more except her looks I might consider but if her looks is the only thing she is bringing to the table I wouldn't be exactly interested.

[awkward_author]

I probably would if we had a connection and things had the potential to work out, realistically speaking.

[AndrésC64]

As long as she's a decent person that I can get along with, being a supermodel would just be a bonus.

[Surely]

I probably would date one. But any guy that still has a heart beat would want to take her away from you.
So. She would have to be really special to me to put up with the competition!

[jamesgoldman]

Nope, I like to work from the shadows and the attention a supermodel brings would disable that
