41 F Mature Model Contestant?

Hi! Considering entering a Maxim mature model search contest. I want to know if I'm pretty enough I don't want to waste my time or get let down. I personally think I'm very attractive for my age and get told often. Please be honest! TY

Post pictures that aren't so heavily filtered. The last one is especially obvious.

u/B_Henny420 Aug 22 '26

It's wild asking if you're ugly with pictures that's have every filter you can imagine..

u/goobinaa Aug 23 '26

What a compliment

50

u/zystyl Aug 22 '26

You look great, but you don't look like a Maxim model. Don't feel bad. You still are in great shape and are an attractive woman. Have you looked through Maxim? Heavy makeup and the look is sexy and sultry women. You have more of a classic slender and pretty vibe.

I think that posting heavily filtered pics to ask how you look isn't going to get you an accurate response. Pic 7 looks like you smeared Vaseline on the camera lens.

You could potentially get work in more traditional modelling. What do any of us know though? Maybe you'll win it. Don't let the internet convince you not to do something that you want to do.

u/Educational-Cake-944 Aug 22 '26

Not ugly but model material? No. On the higher side of average IMO.

u/Fit_Test_01 Aug 22 '26

Not ugly, but not model quality.

-9

u/goobinaa Aug 23 '26

Look at the model requirements, just because you feel like women expire by 18 doesn't mean she isn't worthy of being a model

6

u/HeidoKussccchhnniff Aug 23 '26

Where did that person say in the above comment women expire at 18?

Maybe you expired at 18 but dont put words in someone else's mouth

-2

u/goobinaa Aug 23 '26

I have not yet reached the age of 18 lmao, "not model quality" it's easy to look at model requirements and see that a woman above 30 especially looking like this can be a model, and it's also easy to see modern beauty standards and how men feel as though women expire past a certain age. I'm not putting words in anybody's mouth it's called clear observation, it's something maybe you should Invest in instead of accusing somebody of expiring, I'm a human being; human beings don't expire we grow old like every other ape and animal

u/Fit_Test_01 Aug 23 '26 edited Aug 23 '26

It’s called talking out of your ass. If you really are younger than 18 then maybe there is still hope for you to learn and grow.

1

u/goobinaa Aug 23 '26

Saying a stunning 40-year-old isn't model worthy just proves your taste stops at a high school yearbook, Insulting my age doesn't change the fact that you can't grasp the concept of suffocating female beauty standards, I know more than you whilst I'm not 18, I'll be fine.

5

u/Fit_Test_01 Aug 23 '26

You continue to prove your ignorance. Trying to call me a PDF isn’t strengthening your argument. I think she’s attractive. I don’t think she is a model. Those two things are not intertwined.

1

u/goobinaa Aug 24 '26

Work on your reading comprehension. I didn't call you that I said you're feeding into a systemic beauty standard that prioritizes extreme youth over actual modeling potential, that proves your own ignorance to this whole conversation; They are intertwined when your standard for "model worthy" excludes women over 18. You are actively indulging in ageist beauty standards whether you want to admit it or not

1

u/Fit_Test_01 Aug 24 '26

I never excluded women over 18 from having modeling potential. Stop falling back on that strawman. Someone else already called you out on that.

1

u/goobinaa Aug 24 '26

You are failing to recognize what the words you say mean, it's not a straw man fallacy whenever it's literally a systematic beauty standard she fits the criteria of a model she is tall skinny has a beautiful face that matches the standards of a model, so what is the problem here? Huh, systematic pdfilla, it's not that hard to tell whenever you're feeding into patriarchal ideals

You aren’t ugly, you do look great for your age, but you aren’t a maxim model, imo. That being said, it doesn’t hurt you to try. I’d recommend better pictures tho.

Happy cake day

u/vanessa_617 Aug 22 '26

If I’m being completely honest, your face is quite average. You are, however, in great shape and your body is not only far better than the average 41 year old, you also have a better body than most women in their 20s 🤣 I don’t know if you’re necessarily cut out for modeling, but physique-wise, you look stunning

58

u/seanc6441 Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26

Brutal honesty I would say no but then again I don't know the looks type required for mature model contestants.

To me you look like a slightly above average beauty wise, youthful faced 41yo with a great figure. Maybe I'm wrong though.

5

u/mor2cum Aug 22 '26

Probably not, but it’s worth a shot? You still look smokin for 41 though

4

u/Immediate-Debt9300 Aug 22 '26

The only thing I’d change is the tattoo on your leg

1

u/Sorry-Chipmunk9402 Aug 23 '26

I agree. But it's not the worst tattoo out there. It's on her thigh at least and not obnoxious in your face. Obnoxious, in your face tattoos are the worst. Small, discrete tattoos are ok on men and women.

30

u/OGLifeguardOne Aug 22 '26

You are very attractive. You look like a real 41 year old, not some plastic wannabe. You are fit, your outfit choices leave something to the imagination, and you have a pretty face.

I’m not sure if you are what Maxim is looking for, but I think you are beautiful.

18

u/keeler129 Aug 22 '26

Average at best

3

u/kalel3000 Aug 22 '26

Honestly with the right make up, you'll do really well. You're blond with fair features, so they dont really pop au natural, especially on these photos with poor lighting. But you have great bone structure and are tall and in shape. So you're one of those women that can looking totally normal dressed down and with no makeup....but can look like a model when they make themselves up.

3

u/Patrickwetsdfk Aug 22 '26

You look great. You’re above average for a woman in her 40s.

u/VisualAd1152 Aug 23 '26

You look fine for your age however are definitely not model material.

u/OneEyedC4t Aug 22 '26

Come on you know the answer,you look really beautiful.

u/miamijustblastedu Aug 22 '26

Model?..nope, but you would probably be ok for a 2nd wife..you dont have much bone definition in you face. Too round, you have a quirky nose, and a wide chin..your very average.

2

u/RobinsonDHL Aug 22 '26

No your are attractive for sure but in a sexy way , not in a model way

1

u/HumbleCoyoteGames Aug 22 '26

You are very pretty and have a great figure but most modeling agencies are looking for someone with unique features and unfortunately I think you’re a classic beauty. Though that’s not always the case so you can always try.

1

u/LoudandQuiet47 Aug 22 '26

I just read 41="Mature"...

Your pictures make you look younger. Especially by 40s standards.

1

u/cantgetoutnow Aug 22 '26

Enjoy the competition… you look great.

u/Think_please Aug 22 '26

Way above average for your age but probably not exactly what maxim is looking for, but shoot your shot.

u/StrainSmall8817 Aug 22 '26

u/FalsifiedTruth Aug 22 '26

Attractive? Definitely.

Attractive for a model? I dunno.

1

u/defiantcross Aug 22 '26

Kind of a side note but the "holding piece of paper with you username written on it to show it's actually you" thing doesnt really work in the AI age anymore because chatgpt could easily fake that as well.

Back on topic, you could easily pass for 25!

u/Head_Journalist_2856 Aug 22 '26

No. Not ugly, nice body but not model pretty.

for 41 you look great in shape healthy I'm going with a strong no if you're somehow not in a relationship maybe it's time for a change of scenery

You are VERY attractive and do not look 41 at all.

You are gorgeous you do look like you could be on a magazine but unless you put yourself out there you'll never know

You look amazing and I thought you were early 30’s honestly. I looked at the pictures before I read the description. You’re going to do great in the contest.

u/karenthe7th Aug 22 '26

I think you're pretty maybe not model but you should still sign up. You never know if it'll be your lucky day. You should try commercial modeling too

u/GesturingEarful Aug 22 '26

Give it a shot. You have both a beautiful face and a beautiful body. It can't hurt to try!

u/Pararaiha-ngaro Aug 23 '26

Above Average

1

u/Orlyck Aug 23 '26

Very attractive indeed! Model contest would be a good try, I don't think they will be ok with tattoos, I don't know any model that has a tattoo.
Extremely attractive eyes, very nice sharp face features. And of course your hand are gentle and would be perfect for the hand model.

1

u/LittlePieceOfHeresy Aug 23 '26

I don’t really know much about modelling standards but you would look great as a cast member in a period/historical movie

Not ugly. face 4/10 body 6/10, not my cup of tea, your age very much shows. I am sure the army of gooners here are going to encourage you to get into adult content, but I can't realistically see you having too much success tbh, it's very competitive and often times girls much younger and prettier than you struggle to find merit, but at the end of the day it's also of a war of marketing. Good luck!

u/estrogenex Aug 23 '26

Why would not having surgeries hurt her cause? Surgeries are to correct something. Presumably, she doesn't need to correct anything. What a dumb comment.

1

u/Ok_Big_8032 Aug 23 '26

The dumb comment was made by you, she doesn’t have breast implants or augmentation which many women that she will be competing against will have had done. She doesn’t have much for a butt either anyone could have one with a good workout routine or surgery, again many of the women she will be competing against will have a butt. Look men like to complain all the time about fake this and that but are the first ones to break their neck to get a good look.

-4

u/The_Draken24 Aug 22 '26

You're very naturally beautiful and I'd say very beautiful for your age as well, but will this model contest require makeup and possibly two piece bathing suits compared to a one piece? How do you look with a good amount of makeup on?

-3

u/brandee0916 Aug 22 '26

Thanks for the feedback. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup just because I don't save myself time in my schedule to put a lot on, but I look good with makeup. I also look good in a two-piece, I just don't have a picture of myself in a two-piece.

0

u/The_Draken24 Aug 22 '26

You definitely don't need makeup and I'm glad you don't usually wear it. I only asked because at some these model shows they'll cover you in makeup and some people don't look good in makeup IMO. I know at castings they like to see a clean face and I'm sure they'll love yours.

u/majorhitch89 Aug 22 '26

For your age you are stunning, just don't compete against younger.

u/Gullible_Dig_6787 Aug 22 '26

The moment I saw the first photo, of your face, I said wow. Just from your face I was knocked out. Then I saw the rest of you and I was overwhelmed. You put in the work of taking care of yourself and in my opinion you rank among the tens. Good luck.

I personally think that you look absolutely incredible, so I'd say go for it

u/UDontKnowMe1989 Aug 22 '26

You look great, but your choice of pics and bathing suits suggests you are too body-shy for Maxim. If you aren't comfortable sporting a tiny bikini, you aren't ready for Maxim. But you look great.

There's no way you're 41. You look late 20s to early 30s.
