Browny have i met you somewhere before?

Any way, as for being a promo model and whatnot... i get boys doing the same deal with me photographing so many girls. They all seem to worry that im spending so much time with the girls, photographing them and getting fairly up close and personal with them that i MUST like girls instead of boys. Im also a model myself so i get guys stressing out when im being photographed by males.

In the end i get iffy about my partners being around the girls who model for me as well. I have had cases of guys taking off with the girls i work with and such, and its really not a nice feeling.

In the end though, i think its important to be really honest about your job. there are many girls out there who will be more than accepting of you doing what you do. They need to understand that in having you... you come with your work. Wen they met you, you were a promo model, so when they dateyou thats what your going to be. Dont change yourself for someone else.

Browny are you single now??

Sounds to me that you need to be single.

Forget about the emphasis of being in a relationship & perhaps the right lady will come along, when its the right time! Sounds so cliche but its true, if thats wot YOU want. As I always say...be careful wot you wish for...

And on the other issues surrounding ur profession, sometimes, you can only understand when you yourself are in the same shoes!!

gee: u know me yes. miss cougars knows the both of us :p

i am single now BUT i sat my exgf down and told her straight out. i was forceful and upfront about it. i told her the ins and outs of it and wouldnt let her talk till i was done. It helped alot... she understands it alot now and i sat back and listened to her after and it does help to shut up for abit and listen to wat the other person is saying. Ive been single and not caring for 22 years now... this is the first girl ive really clicked with and god damn we click. So yes we r trying to work it out. first we need that trust/ friends base then see how it goes.

similar sort of thing happened to me. I usually just say "i'm a photographer" when people ask (mostly because I'm not a fan of being defined by occupation).

but I was just a couple of weeks into a relationship with a girl when I was carrying some slides with me from a shoot a lingerie collector hired me to document her collection, she asked to take a look so I showed them to her. she starts looking at them and I watch her face to see what she thinks of them, she kinda looks confused. she turns to me and says "it's porn!" so after a discussion where she's accusing me of being a pornographer and me explaining the concept of porn and how this shoot isn't nearly considered porn...

I can go on forever. she noticed my equanimity about the entire issue and it probably made her uncomfortable because she said she "couldn't associate with someone that perves on women for a living"

to us it seems rediculous but some people can't be reasoned with. it's just irrational.

there's also the issue of trust. it's said that the earliest sign of an abusive relationship forming is excessive jealousy.

you gotta ask yourself, do you really want to be there?

Girlfriends may not be there someday soon, but your job still remains true to you, and it makes you happy, so stick to it, and rather make the girlfriend understand that your job makes you happy as much as she does.....

I find communication and real trust are key..It shouldnt make a difference what you work as, if you are in love you are in love, its the person that matters, i think alot of people these days dont take the time to really get to know people in the first instance and months down the road they realise they are not so suited...

You want to talk about keeping a relationship try my shoes lol, how do you tell your girlfriend by the way i am a Tranny half my time and model, do promo work lol though it does lead to some great shopping trips and some big fights over clothes if you are the same size :)
