My China friend also completed her PHD here. It seems that she was sponsored BY NUS.

...So far as we can conclude, this is a MALE dominion website. We all love male, female and other unknown species (cannot use the G or L word). Over the years, before even Clubsnap started, shooting female/girls/ladies/women has always being the first choice among the male community when it comes to portrait shooting.

Not saying that man are not popular but women has always been a popular subject even in fine art/nude study area. I know because I studied life drawing. Even my female classmates found drawing female more interesting than male models.

When it comes to portrait photography classes, almost all my classmates(male and female) choses female as their subject. A lot of photographers thinks shooting female is easier than shooting male counterparts. Actually, it's not. There are more steps I need to go through shooting a female model than a male. Things like make-up, clothes, hair styling will take up more time on a female than a male.

So that is why some organisers who organise a model shoots, they have to know how to dress a model up, use professional MUAs and get the correct clothes to wear. On the male side, it's more simple and easy as we all know (because most of us a male LOL). So as you all can see, it's a bigger challange to organise a female model than a male model.

Someone mentioned even in car exibitions/computer fairs we see most models standing giving away leaflet are female models. Imagine a guy model giving away brochures in COMEX.........and smiles at you.............................yeah you can imagine.........:sweat:

In fact, in most service industries, women have the upper hand. Doing surveys, sales, call centres, bank tellers, etc. It's more comfortable for either a man or a woman to approach a woman than a man. Whether it's sexual or simply, women are gentler creatures that makes people more comfortable to work with them, unless they prove otherwise. Or they behave like female mantises.

I used to work in a trading firm on forex and commodities. Quite a few women would wear translucent clothes and high cut skirts when meeting clients. When they sit, :bigeyes: Men die liao.

After reading thru all the posts (last nite no time) I got a feeling the TS really blind. He keeps beating abt the bush and yet never acknowledged that there are Male photos on the net. I can only conclude he is arrogant and a person with very low EQ (Maybe low IQ also). Cannot research facts properly and yet get 2X Degrees. Maybe he buy the degree lah.:think:

This is the first time that I saw Catchlights so sarcastic to pp. A pity Deadpoet never joined in leh. Love to see his flowery comments. DP, Where are u?

Good idea. Since his head is in the sand there's no more fun anyhow, though it's a pity how someone so old can't even hold his own. I'm done with this thread then. Ciao, to the professional Old bird(puns intended).

Well, TS (just in case the more intelligent/handsome/double degree ones don't know, it means threadstarter),

I think what makes alot of CS members here jumping on you, is not what you post, but the manner and the attitude you've shown through your posts, that irks many members here. Hmm...a bad portrait of yourself eh?

After going through 16 pages of your posts and exchanges, I really think that you do come across as an abonoxious and conceited snob, and quite a hypocrite.

So what's the big deal you have the damn double degree? It s damn no big deal and doesn't mean much to forum members here I'm sure. This is a photography forum, and unless you've double degree in something related to photography, they are of little or no value at all to us who are here to learn more about what matters most, photography.

And so what you're from OCS? Damn big deal! You probably would still have to address many of us here as Sir if we ever met in uniform. How 'big' your rank in NS can it be? LTA? CPT? In CS, you've just became OCT (Official Clubsnapper's Target);p

And how I dislike hypocrites! Calling people "Friend" in your posts, when it is quite obvious that you'd want to tear into some of them. Telling people you don't profess to know anything abt photography, and yet can go on to make statement like "Photographers shoot anything and everything".

You're just a bloody young man, and yet you come across as if you've been through half a century and back. Your comment about only wanting to watch intelligent play almost make me puke.

Young officer, let me this old bird give you some advise, don't always try to talk down to anyone, not even your toilet cleaner. You should try to command some respect, and not demand others to kowtow to you. Before you go on to say I put word into your mouth or something, you've expressed all these traits in your posts, if you don't already know it. Of course you don't know it, you're plain conceited.

Many people take up photography for various reasons and interests. As for why there're more female models being shot here, I think that many of us here are males. And being an amateurish, normal male photographer, I'd say that I find the female gender more attractive to me, and naturally I'd want to shoot something that attract and appeal to me. Man model really doesn't appeal to me, period.

Just because some members here make some unprofessional comments, you label them pervert. Please, many of the reactions are just what many normal males would have made. So can I label you as a gay just because you are a male model, likes to watch arty farty plays, single and like to preen yourself? Of course I can't! So, please be less hypocrtical ok?

The only place for peacock like yourself, is in the aviary.

Man I love this :bsmilie:

He was in UK, so assuming he did his studies there. So most likely deferred NS to get his degree x 2 then come back to serve. Unfortunately even with degree x 2, he does not understand what does a gentleman mean.

 

[Wolfgang]

I honestly do not give a flying fox if you are an officer and a gentlemen or a model with an international modelling agency and stay in QAP.

It simply means you are a NS man with rich parents and you look better them some of the people in Singapore. What you lack is humility.

Now, since everyone has said their piece, I am hereby closing this thread.
