And it is this shit.. that a woman's worth is tied to her perceived hotness scale that is so fucked up with society. Starting from grade school girls are groomed into being eye candy for misogynistic men.
No thanks. I am glad most of y'all wouldn't see me.. a real woman, with fluff and curves and who still looks amazing in yoga pants. I want to spend time with men who actually LIKE women, not just want to use them as a product.
While some guys do have a handle on what 135 lbs actually looks like on different shapes of bodies.. most men are only shown what it looks like on that 5'10 model on the cover of a magazine. A typical unattainable reality. The same weight on a 5'4 lady is much different.
It is sad that so many of you fellas tie happiness with a waist number instead of the experience factor as a whole.
While I appreciate the effort and sacrifice ALL women make to be providers in this business, if you don't think much of maintaining or improving your appearance, i.e. hotness factor, and think just being a woman is good enough, then I have no sympathy for your [likely] deteriorating business. I, like most guys in the hobby, want to see HOT WOMEN. WALDT, of course. Me? I simply want a measurable version of the 'Vitruvian' woman.
For those that don't fit my 'ideal' provider, I mean no offense. The best way I know to make my points are to use analogies. For instance, if I wanted to be in the NBA, I need to know how to run, jump, shoot, and play defense, and do at least a couple of these at almost a superhuman level. Merely being a man isn't good enough. If there's a market for those that don't fit my personal liking, good for you. Again, WALDT.

As a photographer, I would expect better out of you, but as a guy, I have sadly come to accept this as part of who you are. This is why hobby photographer guys shoot product and women shoot with feeling.
