So Derek Atlas is back?

[josh282282]

Derek Atlas is the escort who has one of largest, if not THE largest no-show reputations on this website. Multiple men have reported how they made huge efforts to meet Derek only to be stood up at literally at the last second. There are just so many escorts discussed here and the constant chorus of guys who have experienced a no-show from him are voluminous. Multiple times he has texted a client, "I'm a few minutes away...!" only never to show up but only to ghost him. He has never offered remorse or explanations for his bad behavior.

 

Indeed, his opinion of the gay community is quite negative and harsh. He posted those opinions online himself.

 

Yes, he is stunning.

But he has treated our community with contempt & disrespect.

Is that really what you want to encourage?

 

Please be aware.

Peace & Light to all.

 

P.S. A big huge thank you to all the wonderful escorts out there who generously serve the Gay community with punctuality, great service, and respect. How very much loved you are. Derek Atlas....not so much.

[RealAvalon]

yep yep

So you're saying he showed up for your appointment with him.

[Jomo]

Yes. every single time.

[sutherland]

I need to know everything about and that includes a credit check.

 

Derek has been arrested twice for assault. If you, caliguy, are his next victim you will regret not having known the risks involved in associating with Derek Atlas. The more you know about an escort the safer you are.

[builder boy]

One of the most non-memorable experiences ever. No Thx.

Yikes ?

Hopefully @caliguy is smart enough to see the signs.

 

That kind of behavior unfortunately is not uncommon on allegedly straight men who do gay porn, steroids, party, burning money like there's no tomorrow, etc.

 

Sad but true! Unfortunately some on here fuel that kind of lifestyle.

The bottom line here is we don’t know the circumstances around these incidents. There’s a lot of conjecture without knowing the facts. I know several people have looked up his court records and other escorts criminal records. I often wonder if the escorts turn this around and run criminal background checks on clients. Turnabout is fair play.

Exactly!

 

Some clients have skeletons in the closet too!

[+ azdr0710]

Have said this before, and it isn't a secret, but many here would be surprised (shocked?) at the number of very popular and well-respected providers we all know who are felons.

 

Gotta say it's kinda sexy!!

[+ sniper]

I'm still surprised str8upgayporn never covered it. They usually breathlessly report every detail they can find about these things.

[adventurous old guy]

For what it’s worth (absolutely nothing) I’ve gotta say this thread amazes me. Four full pages of posts obsessing about this man. Attempt after attempt to analyze the man’s sexuality, attempt after attempt to determine what the law will and will not allow the man to do, attempt after attempt to determine where the man is likely to live. Is he this, is he that, can he do this, can he do that. For god sakes if you are interested in getting together with him, for whatever reason, CONTACT him and set up a get together and stop all this senseless chatter. And finally do keep in mind that the man IS entitled to a private/personal life outside of escorting.

 

OK guy come and get me!!!!!

Well, I'm not going to go after you, but I do have a theory about why there's so much discussion about Derek. This might be super idiosynractic to me, but just in case there are others here goes: I think his persona hooks a kind of archetype, e.g. high school jock, masculine bad boy, handsome straight hunk -- something like that. They kind of guy I lusted after from afar as a teen, but thought was unattainable. So, at least for me there's a kind of subconscious motivation to screw a guy like that, just to know that I could. I have the same kind of reaction to Jeremy Walker up in MN. There's something about the way he presents that includes the fact that he also has had legal troubles that just makes me want to do him, even though I know its not a good idea. (No intent to knock Jeremy btw, I just know we wouldn't really be compatible.)

 

When I was in college, there was a guy with the same look who came across as very masculine, a little cocky, beefy football player who was disdainful of anybody alternative. Barely even acknowledged me. Two years later, I see him in a gay bar in Chicago. Chatted him up, reminded him of who I was, told him how surprised I was to see him there. Turns out he was just coming out, very tentative and vulnerable. Not particularly proud of this, but took him home and nailed him just to kind of even the score for his being such a dismissive jerk before. He then wanted to date, but I was done lol. Had scratched that itch. Maybe I'm just surfing my own subconscious here, but when I come across the Derek discussion on this forum or see his ad it;s what comes to mind. I want to do him because he conveys that image of being a handsome meatball bad boy jerk.

 

OK, now you guys can come after me, because I'm sounding like kind of a jerk myself here, lol! Must be the Scorpio in me coming out.

[Epigonos]

Well we are now at six pages of senseless, worthless, pointless, silly chatter and still no end in sight.

Adventurous Old Guy I've always believed "to each his own" and "whatever floats your boat". Additionally I'm not sure being a Scorpio has anything to do in forming your opinion on this issue because even though we most definitely disagree I also am a SCORPIO.

Its already happening

Last week I arranged to hire a new escort for incall services. When I arrive at his building not only his pictures doesnt look likes him, this guy asked for my driving license and told me he want to run quick background check before letting me in to his Apartment . I said Bye bye

[manTOman]

Exactly!

I think that both clients and provider's might have skeletons in their closets but Derek's are in public due to his celebrity status. It's not fair but often lack of privacy is a well known price of stardom.

 

A while ago, there's was a clip of him going off on a tirade and pretty much disparaging anyone and everyone, but it was obvious that he was on something, so the hole thing was very sad. I really don't know and I am only speculating here, but I wouldn't be surprised if his assault charges were drug related too.

 

I do hope that he's gotten help and has resolved whatever issues he might have had, but judging by this thread his business won't suffer one bit regardless.

He does say in his ad:

3.) I show up on time and exceed expectations.

It might be an indirect way of addressing all the no shows guys mentioned in other threads on him.

Yes!

 

And all of us clients could become felons easily just by hiring. In some Police departments the first time is just a misdemeanor though.

Um, NO. His online ad promise to "show up on time and exceed expectations" was there before he was arrested and has been there for years. DA makes promises, has been making promises, for years but has not kept them!

 

I get it. Hes handsome & hot.

But he's also: Erratic. Disrespectful. Poor service. Poor communication. Now that is Derek Atlas.

Super hot. He's the photo you hoped you'd find in the dictionary if you were looking up … um … junk

I don't think their legal troubles attract me at all-it's their physical attributes. But I'm not really fond of straight guys. Derek is handsome enough that straight as he is, he'd tempt me since he's versatile. Jeremy tempted me even more than Derek. He's so handsome I might have had to break my rule about hiring straight guys. So really I'm glad Jeremy is only a top as it prevented me from hiring him. Same thing for Chris Rockway.

 

By the way-shameless diversion from the subject at hand. But since I mentioned Chris, I thought I'd provide a picture. He looks a lot younger in this picture than I'm used to seeing him.

 

 

@azdr0710, you usually keep count of how long it takes a thread to divert from the original topic. How long did it take this one??

Now you are just bragging. If I had been in the same circumstance, the college acquaintance would have blown me off at the bar-and not in a good way-and most likely hit on the handsome guy siting on the barstool next to me who had already ignored me the entire evening.

@Gar1eth, I have hired BOTH Jeremy Walker and Chris Rockway multiple times in their heyday. Jeremy is one of the nicest and humble guys around. Chris Rockway, as one could guess, had a bit of an ego but was always courteous.

 

I’d certainly hire Jeremy again if for nothing more than to see how he’s doing since his recent issues. As for Rockway, I’d consider hiring again but this time he’d have to bottom and that’s not going happen.

I have nothing bad to say about either of them. I remember when they were first being represented by Man To Man. I was so disappointed that they were straight- and both tops. I was interested in Leo Giamani too. But at the time at least, he was only a top. And I'm not sure about his sexuality. He was being advertised as straight though.

Hmmm, maybe I did cross the line into bragging. Interesting (to me at least) that it's not a memory I feel good about.

 

Anyway, moving along. Back to Derek and why so many are so interested...
