What do you people think of FASHION MODELING?

Question

I've been thinking about modeling and the modeling business. And I'm trying to find some moral positives in it. It just seems like a profession that is very self absorbed. It's basically a "look at me... I'm beautiful" type of job. And it seems like one of the few professions in the world that doesn't give anything back to the community or help anyone in any way except to allow people to be amazed by physical beauty. Are there any positive aspects of modeling???

Answer 1

well, if you become an extremely well known model, you could use your status to the benefit of humanity. Start a charity drive, and people would be all the more willing to become involved just because you're running it. You get to meet highly influential people and somehow push them to do their job better for mankind or something like that. I'd say unless you're planning on becoming a "top" model, then I can't think of very many ways you could contribute to your community.

Answer 2

I guess a positive, is that you would gain some self-esteem, however, some models end up being very self-absorbed (example: Tyra Banks, she's a wonderful person, but on her show, everything seems to be all about her or she'll try to say it's because of her that women can model, etc. etc.)
I think the only real "benefit" is that you gain popularity, access to famous people/benefits, money (sometimes) and anything else that could end up causing self-absorption.
