Op I could give you some advice. Status trumps looks if you are dealing with non celebrity women. You are using game that relies on looks based attraction. "Eye contact humor blah blah" Listen most of what is taught in the community has limits built into it. You can tell by just looking at the lives of the teachers, since the limits are the teacher's philosophies. There are things that are taught in the community that does not have looks built into it.
Status, you're a photographer right? Then use it stop trying to game the girls or build attraction or whatever the heck you are doing. BTW why do you call yourself ugly? Are you Fat? - Fixable
Anyway, befriend the women. Do you know how to make friends? Good looking models will befriend you if you can provide them with resources and connections. In my book "Work From Home Now" I have a chapter dedicated to using linked in to form connections. If you have trouble getting connections in the industry send me a PM and I will tell you about it.
Do you know how to make friends? Read Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence people. Make 3-4 friends out of girls who are up and coming models. Check out
http://www.modelmayhem.com/ and link up with the girls trying to build their portfolios. After you take down a few of their numbers so you can get back in touch with them to do more photos invite them out to an event together with you. Now you are surrounded by 4-5 models who are just cool with you and enjoy your company. This will allow you to game outside your look level when the other women see you. They will want to get to know you.
If you are a serial pessimist, and or depressed then nothing will work for you. No one wants to be around a loser.
-Also, your problem may have something to do with coming off weird in some way, if you are unable to do something as basic as make friends (children can do this) then just using words won't help you. There is a core level flaw in your personality that will need to be addressed.
