Relationships or career?

Is it more difficult for a model to find a life partner than in other careers?

The stereotype is really hard to get over, but you can have a good relationship….

To be desirable, available, and unattainable that is the job, heck that has been my job making people believe those very things about a model. A relationship, even an association can place that career in deep trouble. A model has to put those three things first, from the time she/he wakes up and puts them feet on the floor until he/she is finally asleep.

I would be remised if I did state this; A model becomes desirable, everyone wants to be with them. They become available socially, that is the event type parties, gallery openings, product release’s building one’s career etc. Until they become unattainable, showing up at an event makes someone else’s career. Quote “if SHE would show up, Oh my Gosh people will think I have arrived.”, “Man if I had an image of HIM holding our product cha ching!” If you are a model and get into or try and build a relationship before you become Unattainable something is doomed.

Sorry if this seems a bit hard it is only my opinion based on my experience. You get lonely in this industry, when you do, call come over, my wife and I will have the coffee on and ready by the time you get here. Find a mentor in the industry, one whose life and lifestyle matches where you want to go. Build that relationship; remember when you take your eyes off of you, all of you, you become that which you associate with, it has teeth both ways.

Before I get twenty questions about me, I am on my third marriage and here is the score; I am a widower on my first, My second was a six month mistake, number three well after 14 plus years we started with a child each, we have added two more. 22, 21, 9, and 2 years of age. She is the blind date from this industry, suggested by someone other than my Mentor. At openings and events we found we seemed to end up next to each other.

There is a six month waiting list and a deposit before you fall under my lens. Mentoring is free, go figure…She is the backbone of each, at least to me she still has that unattainable quality.

If you asked this question of her, she would say straight out, Your nuts to even think about a relationship, they just happen when you are being you. Your job has nothing to do with it. Besides never get your honey where you get your bread and butter.
