They are not all picky. Check out some of the bf's/husbands some of the highest demanded fashion models have. They're not all good-looking and/or successful. Perhaps they are confident though.

I only currently know one model-movie star, and that is certainly true. Years ago, I briefly dated a grade B movie leading lady. She must have had lower standards!

There are many women who model that come from very different situations so it is unfair to generalize them all, but I have found had interactions with a few models and they aren't really different than anyone else. Very successful models are like very successful athletes, musicians, actors, etc... exceptions rather than the rule.

I have a few female relatives and friends that model. None of them are stuck up or cocaine floozies or anything like that. My cousin, who is an advertising model, is married to an EMT, and my college friend who is/was a bikini model in Holland is married to a farmer.

I think that highly successful female models are analogous to successful Rock Stars in their fame and broad sex appeal, so their lifestyles may be seen as similar or possibly complementary. Aspiring musicians and aspiring models may be similar in that they have some dreams of making it big and the corresponding lifestyle, but most of them turn out to be normal people.

In college I dated a pole vaulter on my track team who also did some modeling on the side. She was the most boring girlfriend I have ever had even though she was beautiful and very smart. She is a TV meteorologist in California (she got the PhD in meteorology and everything) somewhere now and I have not seen her in more than 10 years. I think she is married to a stay at home dad who is disabled in some way. Not exactly the stereotypical model lifestyle.

Do they go for men with high status? Fame? Money? Good looks?

What have been your experiences?
they seem to have the same spectrum of tastes in men as other women do as far as i can tell. i've seen them involved with all types, from young/old, dumb/smart, successful/loser, etc. the few i've been involved with didn't seem any different overall than other attractive women who didn't model

One of the most famous fashion models is married to the lead singer of one of the world's most popular rock bands. Unlike most rock stars this guy is what one would consider good looking (or was because he is getting older).Anyway, even though she is a famous model this doesn't stop her world famous rock star husband from cheating.

The moral? looks don't mean anything really.

What is considered a handsome man to you? Few what along? What can you tell they were wealthy? Superfical in whatsense?

You are a former model so how good do you look now compare to past?

if you are a model- its probly life in the fast lane and short-lived, enjoy the ride- it wont last forever.
as far as dating a model- take her places - to bring out the other sides of her-take her atv-ing, hiking, something adventurous...

You mean skinny like toned right? They aren't bony either. You can have meat and they could be muscles. Either it is muscle or it is fat.
