When I do cry, I think its absurd for me to cry because no one wants to pay me for sex at the moment. It seems unjustified to cry over it and makes me feel even more upset

If you were selling tickets for River Boat Rides  ??? for a living and one weekend you hardly sold any you wouldn't sit down and cry and think really badly of yourself.  You'd probably think "oh well there were lots of football matches this weekend.  Also it rained.  I might try different publicity or ways of selling".  But it wouldn't devastate you.

But when it's ourselves we are "selling", when we know we have to look good, be charming, sexy and entertaining and the work isn't coming in we blame ourselves, our confidence is undermined.  It's a whole new level of 'rejection'.  

Yeh most of the time you can just shrug it off and think "Hey next week will be better" but sometimes it does get to you and I for one have got tearful at times. Depends on the time of the month lol! Joey hasn't got that excuse!

Awww  :'(  hugs...

Im tempted to start pawning things just to eat and repost an ad. Im down to 1 craigslist ad from 5 days ago and rice to eat. Part of this is contributed to going out and spending $40 last Saturday! Which is why I dont like partying too much unless things are going REALLY well  :(

And it all makes me SO upset that I fooled around with that cheap client-boyfriend. I been telling him business was slow and he couldn't even hook me up with fucking 50 bucks. Thats why no more play without pay. Its hard to stay sane when things are going slow, and sometimes just going over to eat, drink and watch TV at someone's place is better off than sitting home bored and hungry, but it tends to come back around and bite in the ass!

Thats true. same over here where I live. Alot of the guys haven't heard of the designated escort sites so craigslist and backpage are much more common.

Only drawback is, many of the guys on the local ads seem to view the ads (atleast with the guys, unsure about girls) like the 1980s escort prices of $100. Anything more than that is often met with resistance...

Joey, that sounds really  :'( . Just rice? Maybe you could put up any other free ads you can? I don't know anything about ads where you are though. Hope you are ok. What is a client-boyfriend when it's at home?

Well thank goodness there has been a break in the silence today. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

I actually ended up throwing an ad up on a free section while looking for labor jobs (I was seriously considering a gig to sweep floors or set tables!). I ended up getting quite a few inquries within minutes and was lucky to be able to fill the fridge with my favorite foods! I was walking in the grocery store as if I had a million bucks to spend LOL.

I kept repeating myself...it can only stay so bad for so long. I will advertise EVERYWHERE if thats what it takes, regardless of how awful the site can be to advertise on. Im stil not completely out of the wind, as weeks like those take 3-4 bookings to recoupe from, but atleast Im going to bed happier tonight. These past few nights have been far from peaceful.

Thank god for that. The sooner you move, the better! I can't quite see you sweeping floors J, but how about bar work? The tips are good, and you could perhaps meet some new friends. Just a thought for when you move.

hmmm, I've been down that avenue before. Trying to get bartending jobs at the bars in big cities can be a feat in itself...most aren't willing to let go of the position.

The hospitality/resturaunt industry has never been my forte.

In addition, I am now feeling ambivalent about this move now  :(  Im worried that it may be too hard to find a new apartment similar to the one I have...but, I also dont even know if I SHOULD get a new place right away, and if so..when? And Im also breaking a lease because my apartment complex does not allow subletting  >:( And with all that said, I almost have no choice because I haven't made enough for rent this month, and there's no point in staying anyhow as I probably wont be able to pay for the place with the way things are going here.

I know I have been kicking myself all day for even thinking it

I dont blame you. I have really stooped low this week. I have been going on dating sites pretending I want free sex, only to say I'd like to get paid once we're on the phone.

It gets on my nerves. 2 married men wanting a young guy to fuck them, and a super-closeted man wanting me to fuck him, but not be seen with me in public. Neither one of them willing to pay even $50 for their fantasy. This is what I run into on the dating sites.

I wish some places had the mentality of New York. And understand that, if you want someone to cater to your fantasy then you need to stop being so DAMN cheap and loosen up the wallets. Young guys like me are hungry and behind on bills...and they mother fucking ass with money and steady jobs cant even drop down $100. Shit makes me so angry  >:(   >:(  >:(



oh believe me, they can get stingy in NY too.  Things have been a little slow in this neck of the woods. But somehow I got all the bills paid. But nothing left for me :(


i'm going crazzzzzzzyyyy.

Yesterday I had a one hour booked in for 7pm who I had met before. I thought there was a reason why I didn't want to see him from last time but couldn't be sure. Anyway, he called in the morning to confirm as requested. He asked if he could change it from 7pm to 2pm which I couldn't so we agreed on 5.30pm. That irritated me.

This is very common for a 2nd time client. They book perfectly on time the 1st go, but the 2nd go they start changing up the times. The minute someone changes a time, that sends a shockwave alert that he might be BSing. And everytime, usually they are.

Get your fucking schedule straight MAN! Don't come to me with that bullsh!t. I told a guy that once. I emailed him to never email me again and to call like he did last time. Because you not going to use ME as an entertainment while you jerk off at work. Dont play with me, cause I dont play that!  >:(

And he actually booked again the next week! Just goes to show, some men need to be cursed at....



have client like this that keeps jerking me around and I told him today, you either show for the appointment or I won't see you. He asked to see me Wed, I said I maybe out of town and tonight could work....but he's BSing. I need money, now! ugh!  Pouts.

God.  (holds head in hands)

Awww, I know I know. Its just a matter of hanging on at the moment. But I was almost certain that I was busier around this time last year?

Its also amazing, but did you know that majority of 'timewasters' are actually from genuine clients? I mean, think about it. Who else is going to even 'look' at an escort site and go thru the trouble of calling and emailing one? This week...the 2 timewasters that I had were from PREVIOUS clients! They make an appointment, and then fall thru once they realized we actually fucked already.

Its good that you got all your bills paid. Im still behind on 2 of them...rent is due in 5 days but Im probably just going to throw in the towel on this place and move out. Its just that I cant seem to make a definite decision on whether to stay or go

O.K Joey, I'm not your mother but I am going to nag you. I spent a hour or so reading back through some of your posts one day, and from them I can tell you that you CANNOT  possibly stay in Texas. I know it may seem easier, change can be frightening, but if you do, you are going to be broke and/or crazy in a year.

Come on! You are young, fit and you have no ties. Get yourself moved, stable, and then get saving for your international plane tickets and go see some of the world- it won't come to you. And if you tell me anything that starts with But...I am going to get the red eye to San Antonio and move you myself LOL.
