First, your opinion or my opinion doesn't change anyone's rates. However, I think it's not an unreasonable expectation that you should be able to find someone interesting to shoot without having to pay commercial rates. If the model is local, I can't imagine even paying expenses. The key is find someone that wants to shoot, wants some new images, and has the time. That sounds like a tall order - but there are lots of nice folks that can and will do the job. Don't focus on one particular model that just isn't interested in what you have to offer - that is nothing but frustration!
