Not for Me

I click it often. I've been slipping lately, though. I probably should click it more often. If there's a duckface picture, the set gets a "not for me" regardless of quality.

I push it because of flipped order of photos (like Asio), for a lazy-looking set with a lack of attitude or emotion at all, if they are over-edited and generally bad quality and especially,
and MOSTLY

if the gal is a spammer with a bad attitude.

but only once do I push the button. I don't spam her sets with constant "Not for Me"s as one gal has accused many of us of doing.

If the gal in the set just isn't my 'type' I don't push "not for me." For me it's more about photo quality and attitude rather than 'would I do this girl?'

I think Loved It and Not For Me are great ideas. However, showing the percentage to anyone except the staff, is probably NOT. Of COURSE people are going to obsess over their numbers, take things personally, compare themselves, etc, etc, it's human nature. So keep the buttons, lose the [public] numbers.

Honestly, is there any benefit to having the exact numbers be visible? Even if you want to sort by "most liked", that doesn't require the precise formula to be exposed.

The funny thing is the whole system does remind me of a company I used to work for with random inspections, where -- out of 100 -- any score below a 95 was considered horrible.

Agreed. For me, seeing the numbers on my MR sets go up and up as I submit them lets me know I'm on the right track.

i feel like sometimes seeing a low percentage can make me look at a set with a more critical eye. like if something is at say, 87%, i'm looking at it to find out why it's so low, instead of looking at it and drawing my own conclusions.

i don't intend to, it's just an automatic response. it doesn't mean i'm any more or less likely to like it or not, but i am more likely to look for the flaws if a lot of people clearly hit not for me.

i agree. good photography or not, the big trend on SG lately isn't getting too interesting.

I also had WAY more fun shooting themed, colorful sets than I did my bedroom set. It does honestly make me want to push the 'not for me' button on the exact same set in the same location with the same bed, same lighting, same editing, same poses just....different girl. And that's not fair for the model, who worked hard and probably paid that photog good money to come up with something original. so on those, I silently stew and stay away from the NFM button.

Whenever i do click it, i give constructive criticism. Whoever reads the Not For Mes at least knows why im not into the set.

I feel like i don't comment on sets in a positive way that much anymore. Not too many strike my fancy.

I've only clicked it twice and it was more for "how did this set get accepted into MR" on the staff's part more than the model. If the staff has a set in MR with no sg logo and a photog watermark, I think they look bad for it.

No. SG don't own the pictures in MR, and there is absolutely no reason that every set in MR should have a logo on it. It explicitly states in the models FAQ that there is no need to put logos on a MR set before sending it in, as staff will put logos on if the set is purchased.

Also, you will never find a set on this site with a photographer's watermark. That's not how this site works.

Actually this one went up recently with the watermark, but I'm of two minds about that.

I'm almost the exact same. I also look for the Suicide Gilr "look". Their are lots of beautiful women out there but I'm here because I like tattooed, pierced women.

It's unfortunate but lighting can kill a set and I'll put that in the comment block as well as the multiple pics at slightly different angles. It's all personal preference in the end. I personally don't care for real skinny women but I look past that and take the overall sets poses and photography into account as well as what I consider an SG girl. I guess the bottom line is they put themselves out there to be judged and have to accept the outcome. My hat is off to each and every hopeful and SG for doing that. It takes a lot of courage IMHO.
