Models are ugly people (may offend some models obviously)

There is the persona that female models are the most attractive people in the world.  While there are circumstances this could be true, I have found that for myself and the majority of guys I talk to female models are not pretty.  Numerous conversations lately with non-model friends I have received shock for this belief. Models are put on a pedestal, both male and female. Let’s break it down in no particular order of importance:

Attitude. I am speaking broadly here, but the majority of models I have met in the industry have a narcissist, pompous way they go about things.  That my shit don’t stink attitude, is certainly one that most people, myself included don’t understand.  Male models don’t get away from it either, but it is less common. This is probably due to the fact that men don't spend as much time in the limelight as ladies, coupled with the fact that rich men always linger for the attention of female models with bling in hand. 

Social skills. Many who have tried having a conversation with such models will reckon their social skills are that of a brown sloth or brick wall.  Everything goes in the same interview type style conversation that is really not a conversation. It goes like this:

What agency are you with? ________

Where are you from? ________

How long have you been here? _______

When do you leave? _______

Ok. Followed by awkward silence. And... Brick wall. 

Outside of discussing their latest pictures on pg xxx of Vogue, the conversation is pretty much dead in the water. No inquisition, or discussion of topics outside of the first few questions. Then again when everything is handed to you, what’s the point of learning to have intelligent conversation. Well that’s certainly attractive.

They are crazy. While this is obvious as all women are crazy in some capacity (a fellow female model that doesn’t comply to what I am talking about other than the crazy part told me this), there is more twitch in their patterns. Some of this relates back to the attitude part. The primadonna lifestyle gets to them. The ambient temperature outside becomes to hot/cold, not getting enough cigarette breaks, no free insert something that should be given to you just because you are beautiful. 

Sorry but I could snap her arm with a small breeze

Where do I start? Maybe with porridge for breakfast.

Lastly, physically a great majority aren't attractive.  There is no one to blame here, this is a personal opinion but I find many men that share this with me. The industry begs for women that are too skinny and have no shape.  Men beg for women with curves, an ass and maybe some breasts. That is part of it, but I always say the most attractive thing a woman can wear is a smile, smiles are seldom seen in the world of fashion.  Instead a plain as day face with maybe sharp jaw or cheekbones is considered the most attractive. Throw someone onto a pedestal again and before you know it they think they are Miley Cyrus before she became the stacy doll from rugrats.  For a great read on that here is a post I came across: Why fashion models are so skinny

So in honour of finding more beautiful models, “commencer une revolution”.  We need to change the fashion industries idea of what is beautiful. Here are some of my current favourites: Kate Upton above, Miranda Kerr, Salma Hayek, and Maggie Q. While they are all thin by North American standards they all evidently exercise (yes with weights) and still have fat on them. 

                       

I have tried to keep this short for you as I could go on for a days rant on this subject. With all the negatives I have put forth there are plenty diamond in the rough. True gems of beauty and personality are hard to come by. However when you do find these people embrace it, a friendship with friends like these comes naturally. Of course if you are one of those that dreams about dating one of those beautiful gems with a personality better start combing the desert because its not easy.
