I'm not sure where to share this story. It's not exactly appropriate for here but it's too long for Twitter and I don't have anywhere else where I post status updates. Plus, some of you have followed my exploits as I try to start a porn career later in life.
I got an email out of the blue from a studio I never would have applied to. I know my place in the hierarchy of guys and I am definitely not, for instance, Falcon or Titan Media material (neither of those are the studio in question, I am just using them as examples). I am more of a "regular looking piggy guy" type model: think Factory Video, Dudes Raw, Breed Me Raw, and to some extent Treasure Island and Raw Fuck Club, although their guys have gotten hotter over time and may have moved out of my league. Still, I would say in general I know what seems attainable and what doesn't and I'm not aiming for things that are just flat out ridiculous.
So I was surprised to get this email. The casting guy said they had been given my info from someone and would I like to fill out an application at their site? It came to an odd email address that I don't use very often and I knew it had to somehow be related to my one claim to fame so far, the Pig Week video I did in November. So....what the hell? I never would have applied here but I have THEM contacting ME to ask me to, so why not? Doesn't cost anything but 10 minutes of my time to fill out the online application and submit some pictures.
I got the response today and it reads, in part, "Thanks for sending in your application with us. We think you have potential, but we'd like you to take some time to work on your body first. When you think your body is where it needs to be, we'd like you to submit another application..."
OUCH. I mean, I don't disagree with the critique. I have a decent body and I've put on about 15 pounds of muscle in the last 6 months, but I don't have ripped abs or a massive upper body, and I never would have applied at a studio where all the guys look like that EXCEPT THAT YOU ASKED ME TO!! Talk about an ego blow that I could have completely avoided. Ooof.
Anyway, I just thought that made an amusing story for anyone following my continuing saga of tiptoeing into the world of porn.

They headhunted you. I know that if I had been that studio, I would have asked you to come in for at least a face-to-face.
Some of us don't have the family genetics to be able to bulk up that much - even though we can take something else bulky where it counts.

That is kind of odd to get asked to apply then told your body is not up to their standards. UInless your body has changed it would be just like it was for Pig Week so they could have did a little research before they reached out to you and just said he we would love for you to apply but we suggest that you work on your body to bring it in line with the look our studio goes for. That would have saved you from the roller coaster they put you on by getting you excited by inviting you to apply and then the let down that their response was.
