You are apparently expecting that predictions from a
multiple-predictor model plot as smooth curves on a two-dimensional
plot. That would be very unusual unless you plug in constant values
for every predictor except that shown. -marginsplot- may be able to
help you.

When I plot the model based on the predicted values, the graph appears distorted - I think this because of the inclusion of binary/dummy variables, for example sex ,which gives me a growth curve/trajectory for males and females. How do I plot the graph so that it does not include separate curves/trajectories for men and women, but one just overall - or one that incorporates/maintains sex in the model, but does not distinguish?
