Here is what I think YOU should do. I haven't met you, but watched you write and have seen your current photos.
1. Get more natural lighting - some seem red toned. If it is that you tan, lighten the photo a bit.
2. I'd like to see you a few different ways.
a. In TIGHT jeans that are shredded, with a t-shirt that is shredded, and in a baseball cap with your hair pulled back in a pony tail through the cap. Just wear a base foundation and very little eye makeup or brown eyeliner.
b. Swimsuit - two piece. Keep the muscle poses down. You are ripped enough to see it naturally, I want to see you assetts (breast, butt, stomach) - I don't need to see quads, delts, etc.
c. Shorts - think daisy dukes - and a wet white manbeater tank top
d. If you can find someone who can line up a suggestive nude where you are laying on a blanket and
see your butt and backline.....
e. For mass market appeal - how about a very see through short, slightly wet, tight, summer dress - let your hair flow in that one like the wind is blowing.
3. Lighting, lighting, lighting. Constructively, that is a weak area in your photos. You are an awesome lady and deserve better lighting.
4. If you want - do the face makup thing in one of the pics by a professional. Go to MAC and let them do it for free
5. Make sure the bikini is a thong - you have got the bod for it - show the lack of cellulite, the contours (not too ripped) - in a soft way. No competition photos.
6. If you have nice hands, feet, get those highlighted in some of the above shots. If you have troll feet, weare socks or heels
7. the sundress one should have cleavage hinting at me....
8. Looks - the emotion carried in a shot is as important as the shot - some ladies know how to get guys with the sad and pouty look. Forelorn (let me save you!). There is the "come hither look". There is the "dang it is a beautiful day and the sun is shinging look", the "I am holding a strawberry close to my lips, imagine what I could do to your...." look. The "oops, you are sneaking a peak at my butt look" with finger on mouth but that is not you.... - Look at some of the looks that others do and find some that are natural for you. Use different ones in the photos. See which photos then pop. Brit shows only two things in her pics - lips and boobs. But they are spectacular. It is her.
9. Settings - NEVER use a sheet backdrop. Go outside. Or inside (I love bathroom shots).
10. If you never go out on a "date" with a client, no need for a little black dress shot, but if you do, have something like that (or a nice jeans and nice shirt shot). I would want to know what you would show up to my place looking like or at a restaurant.
11. Send them to me to proof
Capture your character - I know you are a fitness person - but I want to see a few sides to you. They should be comfortable for you (if any of the above are not, exclude them - it has to be natural). Hippie chic's, Jeans, elegant dresses, bathing suits - I would tell all the ladies to be who you are. I don't like seeing photos of someone, and then meeting them and they are nothing like their photo. Usually a disappointment. My thoughts above are specific to Bailey - but for all the ladies - be who you are in your pics or at least the majority of them.
And MINIMIZE THE DANG GONE PHOTOSHOP!!!!!! Use Lighting to compensate. But keep them natural.
Bailey - if this wasn't specific enough, drop me a note. You can come over and tie me up and gag me anytime.
Peace,

"I purposely make my pictures non appealing so the douchebags of the world won't want to steal them and use them on other adult sites or fitness sites, which has happened before." Well then ok, I guess your pics are fine.
And yea, heathen style.
Show one of your boobs with your aereola shape and nipple size - no face. Yea, both boobs - but don't press them together to try and make the look bigger. That's cheap. One with your butt cheeks laying on the bed, no face. Flat or round butt? And one with you laying on your back so I can see what I will look like on top of you. If your six pack shows while you are on your back let us see it. Let me see your hands cuz if they are grabbing my member they better be nice. I personally don't want man hands - but maybe that's your audience. Guys looking for manly chics - it is a market (I am not talking fitness, I am talking attitude, hands, face, etc.). Butt up, face down on the bed. If they ooze sex and I can put them in my spank bank then you did a good job. In any case, a blank stare or dominating one is fine. Cleavage is sexy - but it needs to be real not pushed together except your toes.
And if all you do is wear competition clothes and walk around naked and never put on jeans and a tshirt - and answer the door in a robe. Show that. And if you just work on your body, don't show your face. If you have coarse lousy hair - show that.
I appreciate you being honest and who you are. NEVER want you to channel anyone else. And never contradicted myself. Was suggesting. What I would want to see (didn't ask you to do heels, nice dress, and even suggested you use little makeup unless you wanted to). Your ad should just state you are a competing fitness muscle harbody provider. Be that.
For me personally, I do not see a ripped muscle bound picture as sexy for a female. That's me. So I will go back to silence on your posts.
Fun thread for sure
...preferably not a bearded clam but a happy, friendly, smiling clam. And boobs, too. Partially covered with side boob or under boob showing works wonders for me. 
Maybe a lil bit of ass, of course that beautiful face.
