Subject Author Date I personally can't justify competing 15 times for a title (or more than twice like the other person) that's a lot of money, time, etc that can be spent on family/needs/other interests That's just way too much for me 10/21/13 Mon I completely agree. I have never competed in any pageant more than twice, however, if there was a title I wanted badly enough, then three times would be the absolute max since I guess third time's a charm. If I can't win a pageant after trying 3 times, then I'd just have to assume it's not for me! (NT) -- The most I've ever done is twice, the most I'd ever consider is 3 times, 10/22/13 Tue
