Found this morning in the Chicago section of Rentboy:

I hope he's account was hacked by someone else. If he actually wrote that, he needs help.

 

I've already emailed 3 escorts from Chicago to see if they know him and could help him.

 

I know Chicago is a tough market with plenty of competition and a largely "blue-collar" gay community and not enough wealthy gay men, but I think he's good-looking and able to compete wherever he wants to.

Wow. Now THAT is a meltdown. As anotherjohn put it, I sure hope that it is someone who hacked his account. I think he is very attractive so I don't know what the issue would be there. But we know how bitter some guys get (both clients and escorts).

 

If it is him, I wish him luck and hope he can find some help.

I do feel for the guy and hope he gets some positive encouragement. Like others, I hope it was somehow the case of his account being hacked.

 

He does have one review (positive, from a two time reviewer) on Daddy's, 9/1/2011.

 

While this may seem somewhat unfeeling or jaded, in the back of my mind I have to admit to wondering a little if it is some kind of bizarre new marketing approach....to get people to feel sorry for him and want to hire him to boost his self esteem.

I understand what you are saying but one thing is "crying" to your clients asking for a tip or making up a story about your need for extra money, threatening to quit or just complaint about moving to another city because of the lack of interest, and other thing is writing such a self destructive statement.

 

I sincerely hoped his account was hacked and if it wasn't, he's friends are noticing this red flag and trying to help him.

Well this reminds of events which took place about 10 years ago for the first gentleman I hired, Devon. Yes the same gentleman who I believe is currently in Houston. His meltdown is legendary and while this does not quite reach that magnitude, it has certainly happens. Another one of my hires in the past also had a blow up, Vincent Michael. So it does come along every now and again.

I'm assuming the meltdown has been removed, since the ad currently only says "I have nothing to say other than I'm good at what I do."

I think you are correct and it is unlikely it is anything such as what I was thinking in the back of my mind.

Oh wow, I almost forgot about Vincent. I too hired him, had a very enjoyable time but subsequent contact with him was, to say the least, quite bizarre. I hope he is doing ok.

His Pix's are very Hunky! I do like a man of few words also some "Working Guys" actually think the more they talk the less SEX they will have to participate in! I have never enjoyed the Chatty Cathy Type!

I've had several experiences like this. If you are the type who

attracts "damaged" people, as I do, it is par for the course.

attracting damaged folks repeatedly is a mistake on your part, not the damaged guy

 

burned once, their fault. burned twice or more, my fault

[+ Cash4Trash]

It really would help though if they'd say "damaged" in their profile.

VERY well-said. Took the words right out of my mou, um, keyboard.

That would require more self-awareness than many (most?) "damaged" folks have. Hell, that would require more self-awareness than most undamaged folks have!

This definitely could be the case for both the "Bought and the Buyer"! As we have experienced around here going back to HOOBOY Days!

so what was the meltdown? by the time i saw this his ad was updated.

 

I saw Ethan in January with his bf Trent Bloom and had a blast, they were both hot and true pros. Ethan is an expert fisting top.

I'm sort of feeling a bit bad that I began this thread since there's clearly something going on. The original, which I'll only summarize in a few words, went on at considerable length about how everyone was dumping on him, and this was his goodbye, which I took it to be an "I'm finished with escorting" rather than anything more. It was replaced a few hours later by the single line that's included in one of the posts on this thread.

You did the right thing! I think because of your threat someone contacted him and help him.

 

I tried to copy his posting, but rentboy doesn't allow "right click" to copy pictures or phrases, he sounded suicidal.

 

If he updated his profile I guess he simply had a bad day, after all it was a Monday. Let's close this threat.

[Toulouse]

Bobinchitown, I think you did Ethan a favor. It looks like he has come to his senses and re-thought his "good-bye."

I misspelled... I meant THREAD.

This is exactly what happened, someone did notice the thread and contacted him and gave him some help. So Bob, you did a good thing!

I cannot agree with this statement. How the heck is bcohen supposed to know someone is damaged? It takes a meeting with the person be learn something like this.

I hope he's account was hacked by someone else. If he actually wrote that, he needs help.

 

I've already emailed 3 escorts from Chicago to see if they know him and could help him.

 

I know Chicago is a tough market with plenty of competition and a largely "blue-collar" gay community and not enough wealthy gay men, but I think he's good-looking and able to compete wherever he wants to.

 

I don't know what Chicago you know but I know enough "wealthy gay men" there to fill up a phone book ....

Daddy:

 

Please, let's close this thread.

 

I'm glad the person who started it actually help and possible saved that escorts life.
