What Does It Take To Become A Male Model

Male models can appear in unusual print ads


Though not as highly paid as their female counterparts, male modeling can lead to a world of glamour, travel and admiration. Though being good-looking and confident are helpful, you need to meet additional physical requirements.


Basics


Though your age can range from 15 for young men to 50s for the mature male, most males models are from 25 to 35 years of age. Male models can have far longer careers than females.


Size


You must be from 5-foot, 10-inches to 6-foot-2 and wear a 40 regular or 42 long coat. A fit, lean physique is better than a muscular one, unless you want to become a fitness model, where muscle tone is more important than clothing size.


Hair


Length can range from short to long, depending on the job. A salt-and-pepper color is a good look for business.


Jobs


Jobs can consist of runway modeling, print advertising and TV commercials. To find them, sign up with a modeling agency, who can negotiate both jobs and payment.


Training


Though modeling schools exist, many models get their training on the job. A pleasant personality, can-do attitude, and the ability to take direction well is most important.
