> they would like to be engaged as people

Actually, that's a creative embellishment you've contributed. The quotes from the models do not support your inference. They merely portray the actions of the men, not the preferences of the models.

The writer labels it a "pretty common complaint," but the sentence “And then you get the creepers who like to take photos without asking” could be equally taken to be backdoor bragging. Plenty of women describe encounters from strangers in order to brag about their attractiveness. (See the movie American Beauty, for example).

Plenty of women appreciate the attention of men. In fact, later on, one of the models says, "I love my techies."

Downvote me if you want - this is a throwaway - but if you ever want to understand women, you'll re-read my words until you understand them.

A hollow understanding; both men and women are given to vanity and bragging.

The men who can make money by standing around and attracting women to approach the booth are probably equally vain.
