3 strikes I am out?

[chrisdobro]

soo .. I was flagged, blocked and blocked today. And here is my story.

Story #1
I posted an ad on craigslist looking for males to photograph. It stated

seeking younger-looking male models (18-35) with slimmer boyish looks for an erotic male photoshoot with themes centered on homoeroticism.
Depending on your age and looks I may define a role for you and pair you up with another model if available.

The idea is to create and recreate some popular scenes and scenarious that I've seen elsewhere, plus make ones I've had in my mind come alive.
This is more so for my own personal practice and fun and not for any particular site, project, or otherwise.

Some sample situations & themes I have in mind for the final product are:
* a day in a boy's life (showing private moments of a boy when left by themselves)
* fun erotically-charged situations. There will be situations with and without nudity. I prefer subtle nudity, where there is no direct exposure, and exposure is left to be imagined in the mind
* etc.

Depending on availability of people this may be solo work, or I may involve multiple models at once as well. Any question, ask!
Compensation: negotiable, but no more than $40

It got flagged.

One guy who did reply before flagging happened, wanted $200 for just a photoshoot. He didn't really look like anything interesting and did not quite fit into my criteria. For the record, guys pay $200 to have sex with an escort, where escorts actually perform sexual acts and not just pose and look pretty and pick out the clothes. So, I see $200 as an overkill for what I am looking for, where I just take photos.

Another guy was 37, nice looking and from talking to him beforehand, I know that he would do a full blown erotic photoshoot for travel expenses because maybe he was into exhibitionism and gets off on that, don't know.

Story 2
a guy with a handle of pozboi### contacts me on an iPhone app. he is our conversation with all (lack of) spelling preserved

him: sexy
me:
him: wanna play
him: I am poz. I party prob a deal breaker
me: You carry the virus and you do drugs?
him: Whatever do not beca judge
me: I don't. Just find it interesting that people do that [unfortunately this message is not delivered because pozboi### had already blocked me]

I didn't really judge, maybe my phrasing caught him off-guard. I wanted to double-check that "party" meant "drugs". Also, I felt that someone with "poz" in their handle would own them being HIV positive and handle the statement I made. But, I guess not.

Story #3, probably most interesting
A guy I realize I know previously contacts me on an iPhone app. Turns out we've met before at my party. Here is our story:

him: Hey
me: hi
him: I'm in the area
him: Are you free?
me: Lol. Maybe Where are you at now?
me: I am a bit tired out, may want to take a nap first or something
him: I am at X and Y
me: Want me to take you to my grandma? Hehehe That's where I am going now
him: Yes
me: Ok lol
him: Really?
me: No. I won't have a place to store you while at grandma's. But where are you at on X and Y?
him: I'm at Z
me: Maybe on the way back
him: When will that be?
him: him: me: Maybe 8 or 8:30pm
him: K
him: Text me ### ### ####
me: ok

meanwhile I text him

me: Hi, it's Chris
him: Hey
me: Wanna be picked up?
him: No
me: Boo ok
him: I have a car silly
me: Oh. Well, I am driving home now
him: From?
me: X and Y
him: What Cross-streets do you live at?
me: P and Q
him: K
him: How far is that from X and Y?
me: 15 miles maybe
him: Oh, shit. I thought you were like 2 miles away from me.
me: Nope
him:
me: I'll be driving by you soon.
me: Drove by you Lol
him: Lol

I'm thinking what's so funny about me passing you by... weird. Later, back to iPhone app:

me: I want to put you on a leash
him:
me: and have you submit to me
me: And I will use your worthless slave ass for my pleasure
me: hahahaha
me: say thank you Master.

meanwhile on another app on iPhone:

[... some conversatioin is missing]
him: Lol
me: Oooh I'm getting hot over here
him: Oh yeah?
me: Oh Yeah!
him: If I am not mistaken, you have a big dick
me: well it's #,# so and so
him: Yup. I knew it was big. I love that kind
me: Lol you want to come over?
him: I have a few things I have to do, but I'd love to
me: I'll be here for a while. Horny and all
him: Will it bother you if I use poppers?
me: I'd rather you not. But I'll let you do what you have to do.
me: If it's important to you.
him: If you don't want me to, I won't
me: I will take you al natural
him:
me: Hey sub boy
me: I want to put you on a leash [that's a similar time, where my above convo first iPhone app about the leash takes place as well]
.... [no answer for 2 days]
me: You must do better
me: slave, you disappoint me
me: I want you to do better for me [I am talking about lack of good communication here, and his apparent desire to meet me is not coming across to me...]
[another day passes]
me: Hey dood.
him: I'm a sub, not a slave
me: Ooh, feisty
me: You still disappoint me. And you still need to do better. Because so far I am not pleased. [unfortunately this message does not get delivered, because apparently the dude blocked me]

Seeing that he blocked me on app#2, I go back to app#1 where we talked before and I tell him "block me here too please", which he does shortly.

The End

What surprises me about #3 is that

• he contacted me first
• he was onboard with meeting with me, told me a story previously how he followed me like a puppy at a party we both attended [this part of convo is missing], where he was interested in me and so on.
• he talked like he wanted to meet me in these text messages. He was onboard with being on a leash.
• then suddendly.... he gets upset about sub vs slave or my gut tells me maybe even something else most likely not related to me, or maybe he gets upset that I said "worthless ass". Or I don't even know what. And then, suddendly, blocks me, from what seems to me out of the blue.
• from our convo [in part that's missing] he talks about another guy at the party that was "coming on too strong" for him. I did not catch that, so maybe "too strong" for this guy means really not too too strong. Because maybe here, he thought that I was coming on too strong or being too abrasive. Don't know.
• What I don't like too is that he, when I was available, driving by his area, willing to pick him up, to act on his interest, he all of a sudden, did not want to take me up on my offer, and, apparently, 15 miles away, was a deal breaker for him. Humpf..
• I was following up on HIS interest more so in the first place (and mine as well heehee) to play with him. And then I guess somewhere, somehow, he decides that he is no longer interested in me, and in fact not interested in me to such a point, that he blocks me. On both apps. That, after giving me his phone number and being all smiley and interested and coy and stuff.

That's that, folks. That day and sequence of events did not really phase me, more so I am just surprised.

[MoufOfKhaos]

You just need to get hired by LOGO already on your own reality TV show. You figure out what kind.

[animalius]

I can get a male escort for 200 dollars? Man, I've been missing out!

[pat grimshaw]

I'm sorry for you, Chris, but I've resolved to not bother using the sms to play subtle courtship rituals with new men.

It's as useful as Semaphore or Morse.

I thought you weren't allowed to ask for or offer money for sex on CL. I mean, that's illegal, isn't it? I've been flagging all the ads I see who look for "genru$" daddies. I guess I shouldn't ?

[xbuzzerx]

All I need to do to remember what early AOL chatroom culture was like is to look at exchanges from craigslist personal ads.

[chrisdobro]

I thought you weren't allowed to ask for or offer money for sex on CL. I mean, that's illegal, isn't it? I've been flagging all the ads I see who look for "genru$" daddies. I guess I shouldn't ?

that was in "for pay" section under gigs, where CL asks you if your ad is "pay" or "no pay". Not looking for sex here, I posted one for no pay, which attracted the guy who wanted $200 and was ready for nude photos, despite my ad saying that there is no pay and that the photos will be clothed. So I changed it up and renewed the ad and edited it to add nudes and to have "pay". It got flagged.

I'm not getting the point of the thread.

[Hard-up1]

Nah, flagging is usually good, if sometimes just vindictive.

MOST of the guys offering money for pics are likely soft-peddling to find prostitutes.

[medic1]

Think that i have to agree with moufofkhoas , you come across as rather me , me and me but only will pay you $40
for what , well to satisfy your own sexual needs that`s what .

I mean i can get an escort for $200 , but hey i just wanna take some picture`s of you , oh and if i think you are horny
enough then i may interpose myself into the scene`s .

Yep reality tv show , unlike mouf i have a name for the show..............See who is dumb enough for $40.........

[chrisdobro]

Yep reality tv show , unlike mouf i have a name for the show..............See who is dumb enough for $40.........

$40 for what I want is fine. Amateur non nude shots with no make up, light specialists etc I think ate fine. Someone who is not a professional model charging $200 to come over pose and get their pics is ridiculous. I am looking for an hour of someone's time here. You may disagree all you want thought which i have a feeling you will. Those who want the experience or fun will do it for free and no one is to judge. And that's what I want here. For #1.

Chatting with gay men as far as hookups are concerned isn't for him. He can't find what he wants and he pisses everyone off - and then he tells us he's the victim.

Again. He needs to contact LOGO. They could use another show not starring RuPaul.

[AlmondMilk]

I thought you weren't allowed to ask for or offer money for sex on CL. I mean, that's illegal, isn't it? I've been flagging all the ads I see who look for "genru$" daddies. I guess I shouldn't ?

Eh, guys have their days. from the snippets it looks like he never reciprocated once you told him he was sub. I'd have to recheck that because I don't quite remember. It wasn't until you repeated that that he said he wasn't submissive. Perhaps he was on the fence the whole time? I knew a guy who was like that. He was hot as hell. We chatted a bit. He led me to his "place." Fucker had me ringing a doorbell with no one answering. I'm not sure if anyone was even there. I verified the address...and it's the exact one the guy told me to go to. I go home pissed off. My mood is killed. A few months later he texts me. I asked him what his problem was, and he kind of ignored it. He sends me some texts saying he's horny. When I reply I tell him I wouldn't be able to meet, but maybe another time. He then replies with threats saying he doesn't know who the fuck I am, and he'll call the police if I ever contact him again. o.o

So yeah. Guys online can be a bit crazy.

Never go into those situations expecting to hook up.

[chrisdobro]

But only the top layer or two. Underneath those...?

crazy jamaican woman lifts her top to reveal rosy cheeks

He can't find what he wants and he pisses everyone off - and then he tells us he's the victim.

and then chandelier fell of the floor and she became a drunk. The room became dark and her teeth fell out. Turns out the nail was holding the chandelier.

[pat grimshaw]

Well Chris, I hope you're appreciating all the positive advice here and you'll use it when you next go online.

See, I'm trying to figure out why you're asking for advice here. It seems you've got it all together, and it's everybody else that doesn't have a clue what's going on. You just keep doing the do, and fuck the haters. They can't help being not as attractive as you.

[Str8Top14701]

If you're looking for models for legit shoots, then you need to post under "gigs" or the jobs section. If you post in the personals then you're implying sex for money, which violates their TOS.

Don't forget that CL is full of whack-jobs and shady characters , and they usually show themselves pretty quick, so show some patience and most of the problems will weed themselves out.

soo .. I was flagged, blocked and blocked today. And here is my story.

Story #1
I posted an ad on craigslist looking for males to photograph.

I advertise on Craigslist for photographic models with no problems. And I never pay them.
I have met several guys that way. Often bi-curious who use it as a means to find out if they like man 2 man sexual play
I use the personals section. Maybe that helps

[LeicsDom]

What surprises me about #3 is that

• then suddendly.... he gets upset about sub vs slave or my gut tells me maybe even something else most likely not related to me, or maybe he gets upset that I said "worthless ass". Or I don't even know what. And then, suddendly, blocks me, from what seems to me out of the blue.
  
• What I don't like too is that he, when I was available, driving by his area, willing to pick him up, to act on his interest, he all of a sudden, did not want to take me up on my offer, and, apparently, 15 miles away, was a deal breaker for him. Humpf..
• I was following up on HIS interest more so in the first place (and mine as well heehee) to play with him. And then I guess somewhere, somehow, he decides that he is no longer interested in me, and in fact not interested in me to such a point, that he blocks me. On both apps. That, after giving me his phone number and being all smiley and interested and coy and stuff.

I can almost guarantee that what happened was that he was jerking off throughout the conversation and then, wham, he came so you were expendable and therefore blocked.
Don't take it personally nor try and work out what his motivation was
