      I did promotional modeling/sales for Victoria's Secret fragrance boutiques AND I was scouted in the one of the largest malls in the US, by Hooters corporate company reps, to work as a Hooters Girl for a grand opening. After I was hired, management admitted that the 'Hooters Girls were like models and Hooters was part of the entertainment industry - NOT the restaurant business.'

    I used to model but since I wasn’t tall or lanky enough for runway it was mostly print and promotional.
    It can be fun and glamorous but back in the ‘90s there was also a lot of sexual harassment, fetishizing, etc.
    On one shoot I was a teenager and had to pose with a much older man who was in a bathtub. I was all wetted down in a sheer dress and he was in swim trunks. It was very uncomfortable and the designer apologized to me later for that. He held onto my hips even when the camera wasn’t shooting, and he was the photographer’s boyfriend!
    And it’s rare to be able to make a living from that alone.
    I’m really glad to see more diversity now! Hopefully there’ll be more inclusion for older gals and maybe I’ll get work again❤

    I do find it interesting I meet a lot of men who do not like tall women, and they actually find a lot of models to not be attractive. Their words (extremely ugly) . I do wonder if the modeling industry is pushing so far in finding extreme faces and looks that being a model is no longer the standard for attractiveness. As an artist I have an appreciation of all the strong dimorphic features however I am inclined to agree that the most attractive women I have met were not in the modeling category and many of the modeling looks come off far too aggressive or alien for me to ever aspire or idolize as an epitome of attractiveness. It would be interesting to see a study on if models in the modeling industry were rated highly for attractiveness among males and females compared to women on Instagram/ or not in the modeling industry.

      Yes your average man is taller than your average women. However your average man is not necessarily taller than a taller than average women.
      And straight men tend to want a women who doesn’t exceed them in height.
      When it comes to tall men I don’t think they’re hung up on a women’s height and more concerned with her overall beauty. At least I’ve never heard a tall man talk about his distain for tall women.

    The biggest consistent thing I've noticed in modeling are the requirement for wide set eyes, a protracted (strong) jawline, fuller lips, high cheekbones, and of course height. It's extremely rare to see a model with a recessed jaw (as the lips are thinner, the eyes more close set, the face flatter or concave, and the person is generally less attractive)

    When I was in my teens and early 20s, I was naturally quite thin (like size 2 or 0). Back then, I thought maybe I could become a print model, due to being 5’3”. Also, I thought that being East Asian (specifically Korean) would make me standout. I even took modeling classes and briefly went to NYC for a model/talent competition. However, it ended up being a waste of money. This was also before Asian models became popular. Now that I’m in my early 40s, I have an average (size 6-8) figure. Aging definitely slows metabolism. However, I do take steps in order to slow down aging, such as skincare, eat less and exercise more, drink green tea daily, etc.. While I’m glad there’s more racial and size diversity in the modeling industry, it’s still a very competitive and challenging field to become successful in.

And the more Younger the better i know many cheekbone girls that were rejected. People look at the personality that makes a person attractive not who has high cheekbone or not. Many cultures love a heart shaped and round face if you have cheekbones and your face is full of acne and breakouts you won't be considered as attractive and western models especially American models are not exotic excuse me.

    I worked at an important Chanel runway show and saw the models up close, backstage. Two or three were actually beautiful, even with no makeup on. The rest... well... Some weren't that tall (even shorter than me, and I'm 1.73m/5 ft, 8.1 in), one was VERY bandy-legged, another was scrawny and not well-proportioned, and the others had really plain, unattractive facial features. When they walked the runway, they had tons of makeup on, so you couldn't tell, but I expected a top brand presenting its new high fashion collection to be more selective, considering that those models came from all over the world...
    And that wasn't the only case (I've been working for the fashion industry for more years than I can count).

    On a sociological level, I imagine it could be less unhealthy for the public to be exposed to models with uniquely unusual looks, more than being inundated by so many models of conventional perfection.
    At least I would expect that wouldn't pound in the same standards for most people to compare themselves against. But rather it could be healthier to view models as figures of un-relatable strange beauty. Not a specific standard to aspire to.
    Also those faces are just more captivating to me !

      @@bambooprincess3495 Playboy Playmate centerfolds WERE ABSOLUTELY PROFESSIONAL MODELS. They were professional nude models and obviously had the bodies of professional swimsuit/lingerie/fitness models. Those Playmate centerfolds, pictorial models, cover models, promotional models and Playboy Bunnies were all chosen out of tens of thousands of young women who thought they could do professional modeling because they were lean, voluptuous, athletic, photogenic and sultry-looking. The average-looking women in those days didn't even entertain the THOUGHT of just trying out for that magazine - the most popular and successful men's magazine of ALL TIME!! So, yes, these young women WERE actually professional models. They WEREN'T sex workers. They were chosen by corporate enterprises to pose for EXTREMELY LIMITED POSITIONS - no pun intended. There were SO FEW ACTUALLY CHOSEN by top-level executives in the publishing/entertainment/modeling business. IG "models" are mainly "influencers" who chose THEMSELVES to pose for their own photoshopped/digitalized artistic pics. It's a great marketing strategy to tag themselves as "models."
      I know there are women out there who feel bad about their bodies. They (probably) compare themselves to the MOST STUNNING images on social media, or the best-looking actresses/models in the media. There's NOTHING WRONG with having high standards and comparing oneself to gorgeous women in the media!! But if any woman does that, she should compare herself to someone she resembles - NOT someone who ISN'T REALISTIC FOR HER!! If she doesn't measure up in ANY way, shape or form, she'll just feel MISERABLE, and possibly worse!! Not good! People need to be realistic in their self-perceptions AND to receive GENUINE feedback from others IRL - in person. Lies and exaggerations to make others feel better AREN'T necessary beneficial!!

      I've noticed that for women, the "no make up" make up look + classic/smart casual clothing style is the best option: you'll less likely be infantalized, dismissed, or overlooked, and people will actually listen to you when you talk! However, if your main goal is to trigger sympathy and protectiveness in people, maybe try a more innocent look: pastel colors, florals, etc. Having a very child-like cherub face also helps a lot; people with such look do struggle more with being taken seriously though.

    I don't know if you already adressed it but if you didn't that would be interesting if you could address how relatively speaking the modeling world is more "open" to differences for women but for men the standards diverge less apparently. For example for women there is regular model but also petite, there are also the plus size models, women can be extremely androgynous to some level where they look like young boys(not in a derogatory way), or they can be the typical highly ultra féminine while I find that men Modeling is much harsher. Even the more féminine men, and non typical male models fall unto very harsh standards, they are all extremely tall, I don't hear of any plus size male model who gaine popularity, even the features of male models seem more cemented for women I find the racial ambiguity more apparent but for men its not so much the racial ambiguity but the same feature with different skin tones. And male models seems to have kept the same look for a long time while women are more various.

    Seems like super thin bodies, gaunt, angular facial features are the esthetic of the moment.

      that’s your opinion, however being chosen to be in someone’s posters promoting their product, or modeling their clothing brand or representing their business plus getting paid while doing it it’s also part of modeling, not everyone generates income modeling so it’s a start for me, I’m exited to see were my future leads :)

      @@bambooprincess3495 On the contrary I’m extremely confident of whom I am, and I do not consider any modeling I have personally done to be “low class” or any form of self demeaning, or a some type of self punishment act, so what ever YOU perceive as “low class” or “trash” don’t do it …simple…..but it’s understandable, tho, your lack of maturity and judgmental hollow “advice” coming from your self- righteous-entitled peanut-size-brain, seems to have a great deal of trouble understanding anything other than your narrow minded bullish troll approach, and it has zero value or substance to consider….oh well….. so stop being ugly darling lol
