Ladies thinking of NOT entering the Miss GFY contest
 

I say go for it. Enter. If you're sitting there and part of you wants to, but the other part is saying "*sighhh*... I can't compete with supermodels" etc...... forget that shit. From what I know of this contest it will be about intelligence, poise, and confidence every bit as much as physical beauty. I get the feeling that some of the "challenges" will bring forth the real beauties here, and most of the ones who have posted that they probably won't enter all have qualities that would make for a GREAT miss GFY.


I get the feeling that physical beauty will only get you so far in this contest.


Put aside the negativity and enter. I'm sure you will do much better than you thought possible, and it will be fun as well. I know that if I get to vote, my vote will be based on the true beauty that you exhibit throughout the process, and <i>not </i>on cosmetic perfection.

Step up. Represent. :D

i see it being a popularity contest more than anything

I doubt that, but if that makes the ladies enter I totally agree

I've read Lensman's posts, and those of Loryn and Tala...... I see it as being what they say it will be, not what anyone else sees it as.


People need to trust that it is going to be run fairly and correctly. If Lens says that's the way it's going to be, then that's the way it's going to be as far as I'm concerned.


Of course popularity will also play a factor. That's a given, but most of those that have posted that they probably won't enter are actually quite popular on this board as well as many other boards. That shouldn't be a reason for NOT entering.

Ladies, it will be a blessing to your self esteem! Even if you don't win, the GFY audience is diverse enough to get a lot of fans here!!

:Graucho :1orglaugh

If you don't play you can't win.

Heh I dunno about that seemed to me looks were a big part of it. I'm ok in the smarts dept, a fair bit lacking in the looks, and no way in hell I'm fooling myself into thinking I'm competition for any of those ladies. I'd rather sit back and maybe take pictures of them :) That's MY forte :P

Ah, but see, Tala isn't a part of it except as an entrant. If you look like you're somewhere between me and Neriah Davis, then you have no reason to not enter. I figure that I may well be at the bottom of the barrel in the looks category, but I have a damn good chance in the smarts category.

Even if it is just a popularity contest, it's still something fun to do. There aren't any of us who are bashing the others. There's no reason for us to bash each other.

Let me ask this: In business terms, how many of you would refuse to partcipate because you feel that you're not as good (or hot, or marketable, or smart, or a thousand other excuses) as someone else? If you're determined, then you succeed. If you're not determined, then you don't succeed, simple as that.

Same here. If you're determined, then you're going to at least have a good time. If you're afraid or feel like you don't have a snowball's chance in hell, then you're right to not join the fun and games.

It's not about who's the best looking. It's about pulling yourself together as a WHOLE and enjoying yourself. Don't discount yourself because you're afraid you're not as hot as someone else. Bring it and let's have a good time.:glugglug

I think you should go for it.


I think some of us are going to be surprised by how it all comes down in the end. I just re-read Lens's posts covering what the judging will be based on and what it might take to do well, and I must say, a few of you may be kicking yourselves for not entering after it's all over. A good-looking confident talented intelligent woman is going to win this, and for that you definitely qualify LM.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Alright alright...cripes! I'll enter.. but don't ask for promo pics until AFTER the baby is done breastfeeding! LOL

A nice face shot with a little cleavage showing will be just fine I'm sure.


Now where's that Angeleyes at? She needs to be in this too.

YAY!!!!!!!

Welcome to the party, LM! (Wonder how many men here are jealous of your baby! :Graucho )

Ok now kick ass.:thumbsup

Please let me know when everyone stops jocking neriah davis so that I can read about this again.

Neriah is absolutely gorgeous! Were this a beauty contest, I'd be shit out of luck.

What's being said here is that you don't have to be as beautiful as Neriah to enter this contest. No one is trying to put her down, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. :(

Jocking?





?






Don't know what that means, but Neriah has just as much chance as anyone of winning. I'm sure she'll do good too. I'm glad she put aside her own insecurities and went ahead and registered!

I'd say : There's 10,000$ in cash.. GO FOR IT !! :2 cents:

Oh stop it you two, all day people are jocking Neriah and so many people are afraid not to so they stay silent, the two of you missed my point. Tala is every bit as hot as Neriah, everyone likes something different it's just those who jock Neriah are so vocal and those who don't think she's super unbelieveably gorgeous are haters. Or so it's made to seem that way.

:winkwink:

I don't think they're "jocking" Neriah so much as using her for a meter stick, considering she's extremely beautiful and ... well.. a playmate :P Neriah is a sweet lady :)

Uhhh yeah right I'll hold back so that I'm not a "hater".

:1orglaugh

Somewhere along the line, you lost me, darling, so let's try this again.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that I'm as hot as Neriah to those who appreciate bigger girls. Okay, I'll buy that. However, I've never been a Playmate, and so Neriah is the beauty that most of us are going to aspire toward, as she represents (to most of us), the higher bar of beauty.

What I'm trying to get across is that a woman doesn't have to be as beautiful as the high bar to get in on the game. You're right: different people have different tastes. I'm not trying to bag on Neriah, far from it.

Now I feel kinda bad. I hate being taken wrong. :(

Again, I A) could care less who is 'jocking' who (still don't exactly know what jocking is though), and B) I get the feeling from reading the miss GFY site and Lens's posts that looks alone will only get someone so far in this contest.

It sounds to me like qualities like personality, poise, wits, confidence and certain undefineable qualities are what's going to play a big part of the competition. If one of the weekly competitions involves writing skills that alone could eliminate a few of the content models. :D



I just don't like seeing negativity when it comes to this sort of thing. I say if you are secretly wanting to join, then go for it. Enter, you will be happy you did.

Well I know that's where I'm at, and you know as well as I that I don't "hate" on Neriah :P Hell, I've done work for her :)

sorry I don't think Neriah is super unbelievably gorgeous. Awesome body.

Yeah, what he said.

You're not being taken wrong at all, I'm just disargreeing with everyone that keeps saying she is the standard or the bar that others are measured by. Because believe it or not, not every guy on here thinks she is the greatest looking woman alive, we're just not vocal about it because then we're all classified as haters.

Thank you bro, that's what I'm saying everyone likes something different, but everytime I read anything about this contest every girl is comparing herself to Neriah as if she's the gold standard, and I'm just saying she's not. There's a different gold standard for every guy.

I agree, everyone should enter even if they do not win, they have exposed who they are, and what they do or are good at...


If Lensman neede/wanted to run a beauty contest alone.... he is quite capable of doing so.... there is no need foe anyone that is thinking about entering not to do so.... trust what has been publiszed that this is gonna be, and use it to your advanteage....

Okay, NOW your meaning is coming clearer. Sorry, haven't had my coffee yet this morning. :helpme


Agreed. I have never mentioned any specific model or entrant in my posts as being "the standard all else is measured against", but I can see why others use Neriah for that standard..... she is one of the most notorized entrants due to her having been in Playboy. Is not Playboy the "standard" by which much of our industry is measured? You hear it all the time on the "would you hit it?" threads..... comments like "she's no playboy model but..."

Fact is, for physical beauty <i>ALONE</i> there are several entrants already who would give Neriah a serious run for the money. Were this contest based on looks alone I would understand someone who isn't a pro model not entering, but that's simply not the case here.

So it looks like we are in agreement.

Oooohhhhhh. I see.

Sorry, it's past my bedtime. :helpme

Exactly.... im not really into air brushed girls wearing heavy make up... I have seen paintings looking more natural.... Would you jerk off to a painting?


My votes will go to the natural looking chicks! :thumbsup

Oh, HELL NO... I'm having enough of a crisis turning 32 shortly. :glugglug Thanks for the compliment though CD :Graucho

You should SOOO enter this contest.


It won't be the same without you.

where are all the pictures? :glugglug

I entered.. Might as well jump on the bandwagon. :)

For a true natural beauty...and a webmaster that I know personally..Tricia Wilds has to be in the running.

bump for CD ..

GOOD thread..

tell those sandbagers to enter.

After much consideration I decided to join. I imagine that there will be several categories where one girl or another will be lacking something vital, and so levels the playing field.

You cant blame people for assuming that it will be a beauty contest though, with all the posts about "who's the hottest?" etc.

Being one of the few regular women posters of the last couples of years, I say it looks like a beauty contest.

I just watch .


:winkwink:

Good decision.


I'm going by what Lensman has posted. He has said there will be "challenges", and his posts have led at least myself to believe that looks alone will not be the biggest factor.


If he says thats the way it will be, wny not trust that that's the way it will be?

Tricia Wilds is awesome damn!

Tootie is a cutie she look natural and real..
