consider paying a MUA and professional studio photographer get some decent usable photos to replace the facebook style of your port.
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: You need to work on your looks make up wardrobe. You need to be assertive in your posing, for instance in this pose you are unable of projecting the character you are photographed in

If you would be so kind
Just as a slightly-relevant note...I have only been using this account as a model portfolio since November 2015, I made the account way back in 2010 for photography but never used it. So there's not much work yet...sorry!

Your MM Profile usefulness: somewhat useful
Paid assignments: for nudes people can pay, the rest tfp for now
What I like: the full frontal nude by the rocks 1st photo in port
What to delete:
Suggestions/ Bottom line/verdict: Most photos you posted in your port belongs more in a photographer's port then a model's, think about adding a regular head shot and plain clothed shot to show versatility. You can probably keep the first and the last and dump body parts. Or leave one derriere shot, that's enough.

Thank you! I am not expert in your field
and it is also my opinion that a true artist doesn't hand out his work to be improved or modified by others by analog or digital means.
I and many photographers I met think that doing that is very similar to someone else raising your child.
therefore I feel that you should get peer review from your own peers
I guess that you didn't read my introduction to this thread
