it's difficult for some to self-analyze what you see everyday. I've attached the only pics I have on the computer of myself, the one thing I'm uncomfortable with and could really use some help on is my hair and not too comfortable with my smile either, but I'm working on accepting that. If you think of an actor that has nice hair I could aim for that would of course fit my face are also welcome!

I never really considered it as it's only been a couple family members who've said this, but the other night I was approached by a cute woman who models herself, who thought I might have the look. And a few friends thought I might be capable. Strangers who have never seen me, like those on here, have good judgement for this sorta thing and I'd like to see what kind of modeling I might be able to do and whether you think it's worth my time or not. I'm in good shape and have a little more muscle than I do in any of these pics, I now bench 275lbs. I am 6'1" 180lbs. If anyone wants tips on a good supplement that got me where I'm at I can help you with that in return!

Take care everyone.

I think you just posted some very weird pics and are going to be heavily made fun of now.

Yes, if you look in GQ, especially with the more commercial brands, you definately have the right look. I'd just try doing something a little less tragic with your hair, and have some poloroids ready. I suppose you'd have to be in NYC or LA.

yeah I don't see anything wrong with your pics, except for that I can infer you suck a *mean* dick but then hey I'm drunk what do I know. Probably a bunch of people on here will hate on you (h8 on u) for looking like a guido but that's probably a popular look for male models. At worst you could probably get a job being that guy who stands outside of A&F stores with his shirt off.

edit: yeah the hair is a little tragic... I think you should grow it out and then change the proportions, where they are now just looks kinda wierd.

Yeah, you could be a model.

In pic 1, there seems to be a female person cluttering up the shot. Please remove!

The hair in #5 doesn't look too bad. Real short.

I assume you're talking about being an ad model as opposed to runway. Runway models are just ex-POWs that haven't begun refeeding yet.
