Being a "booth-babe" is a pretty thankless job

What fucking assholes!!!!

I majorly lolled at the last one.

Don't like it? Do something worthwhile, you WHORES.

what a bunch of dicks

" Don't like it? Do something worthwhile, you WHORES.  "

There one step away from being strippers. Perhaps next year we''ll start seeing bouncers.
Anyways, they only need to lure men, and I have to say, the product hasn't been invented that will lure me away from a pretty women after I entered a booth. Its a fine line between admiration, and being just creepy.

Booth-babes are there to ogle and hoot at.  That's their purpose, too get guys more excited for a product they may have just overlooked.  If the girls don't like it, they should get into a different line of work.  When you put yourself out there like that, what do you expect will happen.

" @finmon: Most likely, "Model" of some kind, as that's what they are, really. "

Maybe I would have some sympathy if the women in question weren't like turds bitching about attracting flies. 

I don't approve of the touching issue, but standing and smiling isn't the worst job in the world.  I find it hard to have that much sympathy for them when nurses, waitresses and retail sales often require standing for long periods of time and interacting with the common public.  They understand that they are being paid to look pretty and draw attention to the product.  This is not brain surgery.  Should they be treated poorly by the clientele?  Of course not, but no one in any profession should be abused by the customer. 
 
By the way, they are called "promotional models".

They have all sorts of jobs these days. And people complaint about unemployment.

hand holding it makes you(me) horny.

I agree to a certain extent, but at the same time there is a line that gets crossed. These girls have to realise that there are lots of weirdos out their, and if they don't want the attention of people who have no idea how to interact with attractive women, then they should find a line of work where the main qualification isn't being pretty. Lots of people have shitty jobs they they have to work themselve to the bone for. They have jobs that they got because they were lucky genetically. They should be happy that they can get away with just looking pretty for a living "

Any convention is likely to have a far higher than usual quotient of creepy fuckers at it so its hardly surprising, it certainly is funny though!

I have no sympathy for these ladies. Find a job that requires you to use your head, not your body, if you don't want to be treated like an object.

Most become models because they seek the attention of men, then whine once they have said attention

Don't hire booth babes, if we want to go see a game at an event we will most likely find it ourselves, just stop, it's really puerile, not everybody that plays games is some horny 19 year old living in his mom's basement.

put them in glass boxes problem solved and a chair.

Trying to stray away from the downright assholish tone of some of the posts in this thread, yeah, I'm sure as a model you meet all sorts of fucked up people. But the thing is, when your job relies on you attracting horny men to drive attention to the product you are shilling, what do you expect?

What am I supposed to feel sorry for these girls? Oh Nooo we get oogled by lots of men and our job is to stand around and look sexy. Ooh yes I shed a tear for you and your incredibly long legs :P

Um...being a "booth babe" is just another modeling gig. Whatever. It's not flashy or glamorous, like walking a fashion show or anything, but it's not supposed to be. You're hired to pass out fliers, look hot and smile. It pays, you get experience, nothing wrong with that. If you find it degrading, then don't be a part of it. 
 
Myself, I usually just say hi, take a picture of them (sometimes with them), chat them up a bit, and leave. Not that I'm degrading towards them or anything, nor am I pandering to them, but I'll usually just strike up a conversation for a bit, since often they look bored and somewhat repulsed by the idiots (possibly myself included) who've ogled them in the past few hours or so.
 
With that said, booth babes are people too! Viva la revolucion!

"Then he asked me if I knew where the 'real' metal detectors were made. I said no. He told me they were made in Russia. In addition, he told me that I could scratch his watch with a knife and that it wouldn't scratch."
 
Ok, this guy wins at ladies.

That was a funny read. Also I do agree that the guys are assholes but I don't see why the booth babes should bitch when your going to model at a VIDEO GAME CONVENTION. There will obviously will be pervert and stupid nerd encounters.

They knew what they were getting into and Im positive they got enough compensation, but Im sure they appreciate white knights like you. Cus that's not just as annoying as the perverts, dudes living in the 50s who have to save any woman who chooses to whore it up for money.

 
Dude,are you kidding ME?

Booth bitches, let me explain something to you. You are just a tip away from being strippers. Do not fool yourselves.
 
edit: oh, looks like others agree. you think I read these threads before regurgitating all over them?

Women are things.

I'm puzzled if you have either too much contact with women or none at all. "

This is pretty tame compared to what some Hooters girls or strip club waitresses go through.

What kind of punk goes to a nerd convention just to touch a girl's rack? That's just wrong. Show some respect, gentlemen.

They're one step a way from being strippers. Their whole job is to use sex appeal to sell products. "

But that's STILL this one step away. Calling a woman a whore because she is good looking, is hired to use these good looks to advertise something and because she is complaining about being straight out molested is asshattery. Would you call your girlfriend a whore because she got into a temporary job at E3? Hell naw.

Not to mention the fact that every motherfucker calling these women whores probably is just frustrated that a girl like that - no, wait, again: a random attractive woman on a damn street - would have no interested in even looking at them without a signed paycheck.

Also, bad comparison - if you touch a stripper in a club, you end up without your jaw and your ass raped by their union. Because unions are becoming more and more popular in this job.

Mixed feelings. I imagine a lot of models would be treated like this, especially when they are wearing skimpy clothing...that reminds me, there's a Hooters' relatively close to my college campus.
 
Does anyone remember this line from the car convention on the Simpsons?

I don't feel sorry for them.

I bet you look strippers in the eyes. Guys like this, just adorable. "

The guys are douchebags, and the girls are morons for being surprised at something like that.

They know exactly what they are getting into, so I don't have much sympathy for them.  I know it is usually just a starter gig that they have to do before they move up in modeling, but they know that beforehand.

Lol at the last guy. He got horny over touching hands and a video game.

So they get paid to get started at... And don't like it?
 
Oh that's great.

The idea of a booth babe is just one of the things that's wrong in this world anyway. If they're going to get a job like that they deserve to be treated like garbage.

If the only complaint they have of their job is that men get a little aroused around them, maybe they should of found a different job.
