Note, I had been in an 8 month slump, getting lots of numbers and kisses but lots of flakes. But I didn't assume that meant I was over the hill.
A few months prior I had invested in a camera (Sony a6000) and become a professional photographer. I had done 3 photo shoots with one model but she had a boyfriend. Next I hired a 20 year old model (absolutely my favorite girl of all). Hiring a model is a great thing to do. When they get paid for the job it lets them invest in a haircut, makeup, new dress, etc. so it's always money well spent. You obviously can never imply they have to do anything - ever. But it often becomes romantic when they send you 40 texts with photos of every garment they are preparing and it's highly erotic. You get a chance to let them live out a fantasy and you hopefully make them feel super beautiful.
The photo shoot of the 20 year old led to her inviting herself back to my place where we had sex. We've been having sex ever since. In the following weeks 2 other women (including the first model last night) threw themselves at me, specifically after seeing those photos (allowing me to maintain composure with the 20 year old and give her space), and a fourth girl showed up during a week when the 20 year old was MIA. And now a fifth girl - my Oneitis ex from 2011 who I suppose I still love - came back on FB when she saw the first "couple" photo of the 20 year old and I (our 2 month anniversary).
So I plan to hire a lot more models and take a lot more photos (generally I choose the classiest strippers and the rule is no tattoos), especially now that I have a portfolio.
