The exact same suggestions work – the idea is simply to be yourself. Do not be intimidated by a good looking guy, or a guy with a lot of money, or a guy who seems to have it all.

We all have it all, until we meet the one who we want to spend our life with – then our life is incomplete until they join it.

That is a terribly narrow view – and not supported by the evidence available. What attracts you to a supermodel – what part of the looks– most of them have small breasts, most of them are very tall, most of them have sharp facial features that look better on camera than in the light of day. But they photograph wonderfully.

Most supermodels who I know, date pretty normal guys. But most who they encounter on a day to day basis either work in the industry (if they are straight) or in some association — sometimes charity, sometimes a business association. The analogy – if you are a doctor, you might find someone in the business — that does not mean most doctors only marry doctors or nurses, or technicians — it is simply a matter of who they are around.

By the way – most models I know, met their partners on blind dates– someone set them up.

It is always about what is inside – outside is just the attraction.

Being rich is not a factor. Sure, who wouldn’t like to be with someone who has more money – but that goes both ways. Most models I know have more money than their boyfriends- and most of those arrangements end because the guy cannot handle either the fame, that she makes more, or that a thousand other guys might be trying to hit on them.
By the way – while I am pretty comfortable, supermodel can buy me out several times with just one of her black American Express cards, and still have money to buy a small island in the South Pacific.

Do not go on location to meet a model – it is where they work. They are very busy there. I am a surgeon – I don’t want someone walking into my operating room asking some question to spark conversation.

Models – like all people – have regular lives. They shop, they go to church (some), they have hobbies. If your goal is to meet a super model – that can always be arranged, but if you want to meet them to talk and try to get a date– that is the wrong way to approach life or dating.

One model I know golfs – she is off location and not shooting, she finds a golf course, gets a game and meets people there. She has dated several men she has met on the course – and not because of their golfing ability, just interest. Another one goes to Aspen, and spends a lot of time on the slopes- her last husband “ran” into her. Here is the trick – you cannot fool mother-nature: if you have an interest that they have, great – but you cannot force it. As with most dates- mutual interests, mutual appeal – and then either the chemistry works, or it doesn’t.

Here is another key – do not stay in a relationship because the other person has outer beauty.

First rule of dating a model – you have to have access to them. I happened to be in a high profile position, so it was easy. If you start to look for them, because you only want to date super models- well, you can find out those places. But, love is found in many places – and while you are striving to date a supermodel, the pretty nurse down the street may be a far better match, far nicer, and make a better companion.

You cannot force access to super models or to super stars. If they happen to come your way, great – but again, attractions happen for reasons we cannot control. If you try to hard you will come off as a creep.

So, where does one go to meet models other than restaurants where a waitress might model on the side. In NYC, for instance. Is there a particular club or particular parties? And how do you know when these parties are coming? Like ones associated with a model show? Is there a way to get on a list for that? I have tried and can’t seem to find one.

Thanks for the insightful advice Seth. I’ve always believed that the whole notion that one has to be rich and powerful with all the materialistic things to date a model is a grand misperception.
Many times they are over exposed with these type of guys that all they want is a “normal” guy to be with.

That leads to my question, which is do you have any advice on where to meet models in a casual setting? I’ve had zero luck when I have to mingle through the hoards of eager guys to get to know a model either at a shoot or show. Any advice from is greatly appreciated.

Being seen for who we are is the sticky bit, yes?

The only time I ever dated a model was when I had less than $50 to my name. I think you simply don’t hear much about models dating non-celebs because it doesn’t make much of a story.
