... or do they JUST look at the pictures and then comment?
Ok... I freely admit that I do it sometimes, too, but when a person's handle says "read my profile", I tend to read the profile first.
I'm a male photographer. Most of the pictures I have up are of models I have worked with. I display those pictures in hopes of attracting some interest in my work and perhaps get a little work. At the very least I'm hoping to make contacts in the industry. However, I do rotate my default pic so that there's never two of the same girl up in a row. And of course, I do want to make new friends here too.
I can understand that it can be confusing, since there's NO WHERE in your profile to indicate if you're a guy or a girl (and that'll probably be my next rant), but c'mon... it says right in my handle to "pls. read profile". Is it THAT hard to do?
Honestly, I'm flattered by all the guys saying how beautiful or sexy I am *rollseyes* but geez... I even have a section in my pictures called "Me" with actual pics of ME!!
I know other photographers have had the same problem, and of course there's those who for whatever twisted reason WANT people to think they;re the opposite sex. But what does it take to make some people READ a profile to save themselves from looking foolish...?
