Looking 4 Reviewer rayrayxxx3, Need help re: an Escort in L.A.

[bigvalboy]

Not IF they can be proved!

 

Now that would be damn near impossible to do. In the end you would have a forum full of accusations that might very well violate the TOS...At the very least, I would contact the moderators privately and see what course of action he would want to take on this site, if indeed that is the route he wants to take. Judging by what has been written so far, I am with INS on this one, there is clearly elements of this story that none of us will ever be privy to.

Sorta explains part of the interpersonal dynamics about that move down the hall to the other bedroom, doesn't it?

 

What a drama.....sheesh! Compassion? for an extortioner? making personal threats? None of this makes sense. If the bf knows all the facts (IF, any of this is factual) and chooses to stay in this relationship, he needs some help too.

[bigvalboy]

You've spent far too much time on the forum instead of in the police station. You've spend far too much time expressing compassion when you should have stepped up and protected yourself, your boyfriend and your possessions. We are in total agreement - you're either a drama queen or a nut - because running to an anonymous board out of fear of retribution is irrational.

 

Exactly....

It does.

[BaronArtz]

I'd be hesitant to reach any conclusions from this post.

 

I am beginning to think that this story is entirely made up.

[JustASailor]

Then why the maniacal need to contact rayray?

[BaronArtz]

That's part of the story. The only escort 'rayray' reviewed in LA was DAX. Yet 'Aldo' keeps skirting the issue. None of this makes sense.

[Aldo]

BaronArtz, I only mentioned that 'rayray' knew the escort, not that he posted a review about him. I declined to be more specific as it would've been too obvious who I was referring to and I was not familiar with what you can and can not say on these forums. However, if you must know, your initial deductions were mostly spot on.

 

This will be my last post on this thread unless something else occurs. Being in this forum has served its purpose of having a venue to vent and be heard. However, my bf & I are not scared. If this person does something else, I say "BRING IT!" We are not moving, not changing our schedules, not parking elsewhere, not changing my cell numbers, not looking over my shoulder when I'm out, NOTHING. The building security AS WELL as our own home security company have been alerted, and we spend a good amount of money on these so they better work for us now. It's now time to work, go back to my normal routine, to bi-monthly therapy, to family and friends.

 

With regards to my bf, the relationship is in tatters not because of the escort incident. I have been unhappy for awhile mostly due to the emotional baggage he has brought into our lives. I was always the calm one, the one that can fix whatever issues there may be, the "glue" if you will-- the one who holds it together. A few months ago, the damn dam broke. I got tired of it. I started hiring to (wrongly so) alleviate the betrayal I felt. I also started to go to therapy, and reach out to family. I broke up with my bf, hence the separate rooms. But he is working on his issues and wants his chance to get back together. The 12 years also had a lot of good times, but if it becomes unbearable or he is unable to work out his issues, it will not work. I love him, he is a nice person and a very good-looking guy, who was a model when he was in his 20s. But a relationship can not function with that much baggage. Unfortunately, I am no longer in love with him. I also realized that I could hold my own against these good-looking guys (him and the escort). I had forgotten that I was also physically attractive as I had stopped taking pride in my looks, fixing myself, buying clothes (perhaps by the way I was treated?)-- so I started again. I remember walking side by side with the escort at the mall, and this well-dressed dude was completely checking me out-- not the escort, who is a looker, but me! I am no longer the same meek, nice person. I am not going to be pushed around. I know who I am and what I can offer. So there, I said my piece.

 

Now time to get to business............

Ummm...

[instudiocity]

Ummm...

 

Yeah, Max, that's a whole butt load of shit to carry into those bimonthly therapy sessions. I wonder if Aldo sees the discrepancies in just the first and last paragraphs of that last post much less the entirety of the thread?

[Walker1]

Aldo, you remind me of a poster named Greatness.

[+ sf westcoaster]

At this point I am beginning to think that there may be more fiction than non-fiction in this story.

SFW! Shame on you! All of this drama is very REAL in the OP's imagination!

[citylaw1]

I also realized that I could hold my own against these good-looking guys (him and the escort).

 

You most certainly cannot. You are blabbering on this board and seeking bi monthly therapy. Your reaction to this supposed incident tells me that you should investigate weekly therapy.

 

However, my bf & I are not scared. If this person does something else, I say "BRING IT!"

 

You came here supposedly terrified Aldo! Now you've had a glass of Pinot, put on your pumps and struck a tough pose?

 

The building security AS WELL as our own home security company have been alerted, and we spend a good amount of money on these so they better work for us now.

 

Cemeteries are filled with similar logic.

I am no longer the same meek, nice person.

 

In addition to being meek, I think you may be delusional and bipolar. This can be addressed in therapy (weekly as I suggested) more effectively than here.

 

I was always the calm one, the one that can fix whatever issues there may be, the "glue" if you will-- the one who holds it together.

 

I bet the neighbors, your friends, your BF and your therapist might have more productive input here than I.

And to think that just yesterday I was reading about an Internet-based variety of Munchäusen's.

Really? I'd love the reference. Especially of Homosexuality being Munchäusen!

I'm not quite sure why you made that leap of logic—since I never implied that.

 

This thread (along with some others) follows the pattern described in the article—of using Internet forums and chat rooms to appear as a helpless victim, who riles everyone up in dramatic fashion and then goes on their merry little way after getting their fix.
