I mean, ultimately, we all like what we like and we don't like what we don't like, and there's really no shame in that (unless you're into something illegal or really fucked up). So although my response to McKormick was more than a little snarky, I can respect that a girl - for whatever reason - doesn't ring someone's bell. That's entirely different, IMO, from calling her "overrated". For instance, I really don't care for the Beatles' music but I don't think they're overrated.

But this gets to the heart of the matter:

(April 25, 2019, 1:11 am)tomostrife I feel maybe the surplus of content from the widening spread of the fetish over all channels of social media has dulled peoples tastes a bit, maybe its because I can remember a time when a grainy video of a half covered belly for fourteen seconds was the best I got

I read an article a few years ago about girls who make anal prolapse (or "rosebudding") porn. If you don't know what that is, trust me, don't google it, it's at least as awful as it sounds. The gist of it was that people are becoming more and more desensitized to porn, so porn actors have to keep pushing boundaries. Softcore was good enough until it wasn't, then hardcore was good enough until it wasn't, then anal was good enough until it wasn't, and so on and so on, until a certain subset of girls feel like they have to risk serious injury on camera in order to make a name for themselves.

But I also don't necessarily think that people's tastes have dulled. I also think that the proliferation of porn in general, along with the ability to commission custom material from models both popular and obscure, has given us the luxury to "specialize" in certain kinks within the fetishes we have. That speaks to what McKormick and others are talking about, where Mina may not have catered to some of their specific desires. If that's the case, I think that you still have to be able to see the forest for the trees. I have a BIG kink for pregnant belly buttons, and it still boggles my mind that there are girls out there who actually cater to that now, and that if I want something specific I can pay a model a reasonable sum to get exactly what I want. But that doesn't mean that I will think less of a girl because she doesn't pinch or poke her belly button. I also much prefer softcore over hardcore, but that doesn't mean I will completely tune out hardcore stuff if it checks enough other boxes. But maybe it's because I, like tomo (and many others here, I'm sure), went through the early years of clawing and scraping for whatever I could find, even if it wasn't exactly my cup of tea.

Just my two cents.

That was at least 5 cents

There isn't anything special that Mina would need to do to get my attention. I don't have a special trigger. She just doesn't hold my attention like some other models do, and there's no rhyme or reason. I do think she's gorgeous and she had a great belly, but that's about it. I know, it's weird, right?

I get your point but what good is it if Im not into threesomes, anal or great head? What if I just want her to stand there and look pretty? Did you know some camgirls get paid for men to just talk to them? They get paid for a good hour long PVT of someone talking. Clearly some people want more than what they offer. Did This is a serious discussion is it not? Just because you think shes all that it doesnt mean that everyone does. Personally I much preferred Renata and all she really did was stand there, dance, squirt and be ridiculously large. To each their own.

Not at all, she is a reasonably attractive and there is nothing to complain about. At the same time she is a reasonably attractive in a industry that to a large degree abounds in reasonably attractive people. Its like Olympic race where almost everyone gets a medal, which is all good for the participants, but it tends to dull the edge for the spectators and the process doesn't takes that long TBH.

As far as her pregnancy goes, "generic" is what i think it is. A good looking pregnant woman that takes a good care of her appearance, but that takes away most of the memorable features and at the end of the day there is nothing special to go by!

I guess what i'm trying to say, there are less attractive and perhaps less wholesome models than she is, but those models are often more memorable by the features rather than by name. Kinda akin to quite lot of the instagram models, good looking and attractive on their own but also often looking the same when one takes the big picture into account

Great input by all. I didn't mean to be so coarse, @tomostrife and @Akhenaten make some excellent points which I actually agree with myself.

I thought of Renata right away when I seen this thread, because she is one I feel may be over-rated.  Not saying that to knock her in any way, just saying she is one of the 'great' ones that doesn't do anything for me personally.  So I guess I understand how it is possible for someone to feel the same way towards Mina.

(April 24, 2019, 5:16 am)OrangeEater I very highly thought and still think she's overrated.

Why though? She was a pretty successful model(online) and she was having twins and dressing up for the community each week. I understand maybe some guys didnt find her objectively attractive but why did you think she was overrated? I cant think of anything a model could do more. (Apart from those who wanted fuck vids)

That's pretty much it-- wasn't my taste. Absolutely appreciate the the fact that she was so supportive of this community and such. 

But I tried on more than one occasion to really like her and her content and the more I tried, the more annoyed I got. I suppose that's rather misplaced, and pardon my comment, it was out of line. I've got a friend who taught me a very good life lesson, and I wish it would have popped into my head as I typed that-- "don't yuck someone else's yum."
