Trouble Finding Specific Stock Images

I'm working on a comic about a really bad blind date, and I'm having trouble finding decent reference of a "douchebag with a popped collar". I need images of a guy acting like a prick while walking/talking/slouching, whereas all I'm coming up with on Google is photos of arsehole frat boys flailing beer in front of the camera.

Can anyone suggest a stock artist with a good selection of modern clothed stock, or a better resource than just Google image search?

Thank you!

we have some modern clothed male stock, but I don't think anything with a popped collar... but maybe our gallery will help?

You have a bunch of stuff that comes really, really close... except your guys are more the adorable and goofy type, where I needed more cockiness and ego. Thank you though, and I'll definitely keep you guys in mind for future projects :D

Try doing an image search for the show Castle. I was watching it with my girlfriend and I noticed Nathan Fillion spends a lot of time with a popped collar.

Ugg! I hate when you need a stock image, but you just can't find what you're looking for!

Have you tried looking on dA for stock images?
Also, do you need a refference or the whole picture?

Yes, I have. dA's stock artists are usually my first go-to for reference, but in this case I haven't been able to get results from the search terms I've used. Plus, the male artists tend to go for fantasy, sci-fi, or nudes rather than everyday wear.

Yeah, or the males are way too muscular.

Well for this project muscular is ok, since the stereotype I'm looking for is the kind of guy who lifts weights at the gym. The hard part is the attitude, and the clothes. Mostly the clothes. Do you know of any stock guys that do a lot of everyday clothes stuff? Browsing the category is taking FOREVER >.<
