Lynden Thomas

[Guest EuropTravl]

I spent last weekend with Lynden in Manhattan and had a great time. He seemed very excited about his web page, and his up-comming travels, and even some video offers. Whatever happened, happened after Monday! My guess is he's fallen head-over-heels with Eric "Ript-4-hire" from NYC (who spent some time Friday night with us), and they've bought the dog, the house, and the white picket fence somewhere. Oh, it's possible - I saw their first meeting. VERY possible (LOL).

[Guest novabear22031]

Saw this on his review page from Daddy:

 

"It is with the greatest of regrets that I must report that Lynden passed away on 2/22/2007. On the few occasions that I was able to speak to him, I found him to be charming, caring, and had a sense of grace that you seldom find. All that knew him will miss him greatly."

 

A total shocker.

[Greathands]

Not that I doubt Daddy ... but I find it a little hard to believe that when an escort suddenly dies that his website and online profiles would disappear so quickly.

 

Is there more to this story?

[luv2rim]

He was on line yesterday evening. There has to be more to this story.

[Guest EuropTravl]

Well, all I can add is that last weekend he was happy, healthy, and very much alive. Smart, articulate, and certainly no hint of substance abuse. Really looking forward to meeting more people here, because his web page "took off" after joining these forums - which he checked all the time. But I guess accidents happen - I'm very sad if that's the case.

[Greathands]

For those of you who follow this message board:

 

Interesting that Lynden has ended escorting as mysterious as he started!

[Louis]

Its very sad, when people die. I sent him an email complimenting him on his web page, and he replied back, quite quickly. Someone had also posted pictures of him on XTube without his knowledge.... I know that because I alerted him to it. I got the impression that he had a great personality, and that he was a very forward looking person. While it can be said he was very handsome, and looked after himself very well, I think his personality was his greatest attribute.

[Guest EuropTravl]

This will be the last post from me on the subject (I promise!)

I'm convinced he just wanted out, and not to be contacted again.

Whether a 'buyer' or a 'seller' around here, we all have our private lives, some more

'private' that others, that might mis-match with this escorting thing.

Family/friends/business - who can say but him, and I wish him all the best.

Tabula Rasa

 

When I was young (alright, younger) I dreamed to organize my own funeral and make believe everyone that I was dead, then start a new life somewhere far far away.

 

I wish Lynden a happy journey ! He'll be missed here ... and elsewhere.

I hope "Lynden" is alive and well, even if he is lost to the world of escorting. I never met him, but had contacted him last week (maybe Feb 15th) to say that I would like to meet him soon -- he said anytime the week of Feb 19th was OK, so my guess is that he wasn't planning to leave escorting anytime soon.

 

Did he really die? I hope not. It seems strange to me if he did die, his website and ads would so completely vanish within a day or two of his death (again, let's hope it is not true). Who is contacting the various sites (along with this site) to bring his escorting career to a close? His mother? Wouldn't she need to know which sites to contact and perhaps even know the right passwords and all.

 

Let's hope he simply hastily retired, for whatever reason, and does well in whatever new life he has. There certainly will be a problem if he re-emerges however, though I would be happy to meet a resurrected Lynden.

Could I break my promise (to not post about this again) to ask that the "forces that be" around here remove his pic from his review page? It's obvious to me the person behind the mask no longer wants his face "out there" as "Lynden".

 

(yes, I know, the damage has probably been done already)

[Greathands]

I agree. I also believe it should be removed.

[Guest TBinCHI]

Wow, this is all very strange. On the 21st, he confirmed an appt with me for next week. If he wanted out of the business, it would be odd for him to confirm an appt. I really hope that he is alive and well and it's just his persona that is gone - he seemed like a nice guy and it would be real shame if such a young life truly was cut short.

[uwsman2]

I had a marvelous time with Lynden while in DC on business early in January. I am shocked to hear that he might have died. Not quite so shocked it is just that he "killed off" his escort persona and withdrew from the game... since he struck me as a really intelligent guy who was doing this to make some money but would just as easily quit it if some other opportunity came along. That is, he seemed to enjoy meeting new people and having sex with them, but I did not get the sense that this activity defined him or was the center of his life.

 

So, Lynden, if you are still among the living and checking in, good luck. And if by some tragic accident you are gone, you will be fondly remembered in this corner.

This Lynden story is quickly becoming the 'Jimmy Hoffa Legend' of the escort world.

 

Look for more on the upcoming blog, but in sending him an email last night, i got a reply this morning. If he is dead, he sure has one hell of an internet connection.

Amen. I only had the opportunity to chat by and forth through emails and a couple phone calls with Lynden. I found him to be a very engaging, sincere, and kind person.

 

I truly hope that the persona of Lynden Thomas is the one that has passed away, not the man behind it. For the way he approached his work, seems to be the way he approached life.

[luv2rim]

Ben your usually good at getting the scoop. Good luck

[buckguy]

He wouldn't be the first guy to suddenly exit the biz. I don't know that this is something that many escorts would want to discuss with clients ahead of time. If they decide to stay, then expressing "doubts" would drive away biz. Last year, I made an appointment with someone returning to the scene. After lengthy email correspondence, he canceled and promptly pulled his ads. I was annoyed, but not entirely surprised. It's an an unusual occupation and guys need to know when to call it a day.

[JT Brooklyn]

Strange..Some Guy's will make Formal Announcements of "Retirement" or Cutting Back to doing just Old Client's...Not a peep!

 

Other's Quietly Move On. A Couple of Hottie's in the Last Year!

 

But this "Lynden/DC" thing? I'm guessing due to the Fact He Came and Went so soon on this site, it has all the interest for some at an all time high?

 

Sad IF his Passing is True as was Put Up on his Review....

[augustman]

Like most here I too contacted Lynden and his responses actually set a record. He responded in minutes. I too had discussed and overnight with him and was interested in being a part of the Eric/Lynden connection first hand. I had just had a email from him Monday regarding the meeting he had with Eric last week and how hot is was. I would find it hard to believe that Daddy would post something on Lynden's page without having some verifiable information and appropriately not sharing here.

 

I can concour with others as well that twice of I have felt the sting of an immediate retirement and no warning. In both cases emails were disconnected and phone messages were left unanswered and literally left standing at the train station in one of the cases.

 

This does not have that feel of someone making an overnight decision, although there was Pam's dream season on Dallas. But when does Holloywood ever imitate real life?

> I had just had a email from him Monday regarding the meeting he had with Eric last week and how hot is was.

 

 

Well, since Benjamin got an email from Lynden this morning, it doesn't seem likely that he's passed on.

 

I do recall that, after my first time with Eric, I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. Hopefully, that's what happened with Lynden, and he will return to us in time.

 

But the suddenness and finality of his leaving almost sounds like a third-party was involved: a parent, lover, sugar daddy. As luv2rim said, I’m counting on Benjamin to break the story.

[JT Brooklyn]

IMHO...IF Lynden decided to "Move On"..What's the Big Mystery that has to be solved in Someone else's Blog?

 

This is turning into More "Nothing of Interest" Pure GOSSIP!

 

:P

[+ cougar]

Well someone has died, the real Lynden or the escort we knew. At any rate, it would be nice for Daddy to at least chime in and give more details. I remember his mysterious enterance and it is looking like a mysterious exit.

[Orson Kane]

I sent an email to Lynden's email account and here is what came back

 

 

To Whom It May Concern,

 

I am so very sorry to let you know that Lynden died on February 22 from a severe asthma attack. He was my best, dearest friend and will be missed by many.

 

Sincerely,

Brian

[MindThe Gap]

I am disappointed. Even more so, I feel as though the credibility I once felt for this site and which this site once held high above others, is gone forever. Allow me to explain.

 

Having had a number of email communications with Lynden, I was saddened and upset to have heard this news, which Daddy posted on Lynden’s profile just hours after his death. Although we had not yet met, one can sometimes feel connectivity with people through their written word that begins to establish the roots of a friendship, albeit electronic. I felt that connectivity with Lynden and looked forward to growing it further.

 

Benjamin Nicholas has now posted up the fact that the death of Lynden has been faked. Staged. Completely untrue. Here’s a link:

 

http://www.maleescortreview.com/dcscript/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=119&topic_id=1720&mesg_id=1729

 

Say what you will, but if true, this sites ownership has participated in a known and approved fraud against its members. I can completely understand Lynden wanting to get out of the escort business, but for Daddy to participate in a fraud and to post an untrue death notice on his profile, and, to then go a step further and to alter Lynden’s picture to now reflect a black, bunting like death border around his picture, is simply inexcusable and just cruel, hurtful and disrespectful to everyone. There were many ways to handle this, but this, in my opinion was the worst imaginable.

 

I don’t know to what extent Daddy’s and Lynden’s relationship existed, but to jeopardize the credibility of this site, by participation in faking another person’s death, for personal reasons, surpasses every rule of decency and credibility I know. At the end of the day, all one has is his credibility.

 

I sure hope this was worth it.
