Truth be told, if you sign up for any site and put your book/port/pics/etc. out there, you're bound to get comments from people that are less than constructive.
Have you considered maybe looking into different modeling agencies and finding out who their MUAs are and trying to contact them?

I've tried to contact 3 MUAs with good agencies in my city whom i respect immensely, but I haven't gotten a response yet, plus I'm looking for multiple perspectives, not just one or two.
I have a MM account and don't respect the work of a lot of people on there, and don't want to open myself up to their criticism, nor do i want to make my account just for criticism - i think it's bad for business to have public critiques of your stuff in the same place you're trying to make connections and get work. I've never gotten anything but really kind comments on there, but that's not what i'm looking for - I'm looking for people who i respect to use their eye and see what i can't.
Anyway, thanks for your help, i think i'll keep bugging a few MUAs in my city and see what they think! I just thought it would be handy to have a place where you could put like 20-30 pics side by side and have people comment on all/most of them.
