New Direction or Bleep in the Radar?

[ChristopherRobin]

I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I'll just say this: If the April 15 episode with what's-his-name was an honest mistake, so be it. However, if it is in fact what we can expect in the future from Broke Straight Boys, then I will certainly join those who are about to jump ship.

I agree. Im going to give it about two more weeks but the quality of models both on Broke Straight Boys and College Dudes is dropping fast. Might be time to move on.

Tyler, and others, please don't!

Think about it, if you guys leave, where then are the voices crying in the wilderness? As I see it, the only way Broke Straight Boys can get back to the model look that we've all enjoyed in the past is for us to continue crying out to Mark and Clay our disgust about the way Broke Straight Boys has changed in the direction it's going. Hang in there and let's hope that it has only been a hiccup in the casting.

 

[BrokeStraightBoys]

I'm sorry for that update that you guys aren't happy with. This isn't the direction we are trying to go but we have those guys and scenes that just aren't very good. We shot some great new guys this week which I think you will all love so hang in there. I'll post a preview here soon.

If a restaurant or a supermarket no longer supplies the goods to their previous standard, one drives on to find another.

To my dear friend MacTee, I certainly agree with you that I too would love for all to stay here and to "fight the good fight", but I would never tell anyone how to spend their money, and if they are not getting satisfaction out of the site, it is their decision and perhaps if they leave now, they will check back in later and rejoin if the improvements that we want, do come to pass.

But for now I am hanging in here and I'm glad that you, my comrade from state of Georgia will be here with me. I am proud to share this forum with you Mactee!!!!

Mark, I have actually grown to like you very much, but your decision to constantly include you inferior productions in time slots where I am paying for the opposite is infuriating. As to why you have those "guys and scenes that just aren't very good", well if you can't figure that one out, then you must have your head buried in the sand.

Using Jon's example of a restaurant, if I come to your establishment, I expect a great meal EVERY TIME. If you have a lot of spoiled meat in your freezer, I don't want it. That is your mistake and I certainly don't want to pay for your mistake. The ideal solution would be to hire another cook and then you wouldn't have all those dishes prepared with spoiled meat. But it is your company and you should run it as you see fit. I'm just very tired of being forced to eat your spoiled meat. I pay the same for a great meal as I do for something that is going to make me sick. Does that seem fair to you?

I've asked this question before, but have never received an answer from management.

How does the selection process of new model's go down? I'm sure they send you their naked pictures before you invite them to come to the studio for a shoot, but do you receive a video as well, and do you interview them to gauge their feeling about getting naked on camera and doing a sex scene with another guy?

I can understand a good looking guy not performing well on camera. I imagine that until they do a scene, you will not know that. But over the last few months less than half are even up to par on their looks.

My question is how and why does this happen? Shouldn't they at least be above average looking to get an invitation to come to the studio?

I'm not going anywhere either! Do I like some the updates so far this year? not really. But that also includes some of the good models that performed below average. I do however enjoy the forum and the bonus sites. So a few bad scenes here and there, and a few bad comments from members won't deter me from the site. I like Broke Straight Boys and my fellow formites.

I Am Not Going Anywhere Either

Like Peter and Mike Yank, I am not going anywhere at the present time.

I look at the Broke Straight Boys site as a work in progress.

Great Art, like great porn, takes time, luck and a vision of what you want to do.

To be perfectly honest, I am not exactly sure what Broke Straight Boys management wants. That was part of what I think Mike Yank was saying. But, they have earned my patience while they work on delivering the best product that they can.

If it was as easy as some have suggested, it would have already been done and there would be numerous sites with equivalent content. But, it is not.

 

[rrhill]

Are you really asking how the sausage is made Mike

?

 

[AsIseeIt]

The SUBJECT of discourse here is same as those on the threads "FAVORITE FORMER MODELS" & "FORMER ADDICT BRIAN" : THE QUALITY OF THE SITE'S PRODUCTS & SERVICES. As I see it, it is both GOOD and UNFORTUNATE for both the SITE and its SUBSCRIBERS, that the qualities in question here are SUBJECTIVELY in the EYE/s of the BEHOLDER/s. " Yes myrna that's the way the burrito rolls" - it rolls but not smoothly. And again, just like anything on these planet, MAJORITY WINS. As I see it, is it possible that there are many more subscribers who share the sentiments ( complaints really ) VOICED in these threads but are not members of the forum and therefore do not propel the agenda as a MAJORITY sentiment? or furthermore, is it also possible that there are MORE subsrcibers-forum members and non-members who are STILL satisfied with the qualities in question? - SILENT MAJORITY? I do share disappointments with the qualities of some of the models and some episodes' editing and production values (read: CLAY),specially the ONES talked about in these threads, but am I going to CANCEL subscription? NOT YET-so far, bcuz the site has STILL generally served me what I like. AND, I am NOT YET aware of a BETTER site to jump ship. So I guess the reason Mark hasn't rolled this site towards the "complainants" side is the MAJORITY rule. The EYES that behold what are being complained about as GOOD qualities are GREATER in number. Yes myrna, YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP.

Actually Robert, if the sausage was consistently delicious and mouth watering, then I could care less how they make it because it's so damn good and I keep eating them. But when the sausage is totally inconsistent and too often, I take a bite and get a rancid tasting one, then I feel that I have the right to ask the chef what the problem is.

And believe me Robert, I love having a nice thick delicious sausage in my mouth as much as anyone.

Sorry I missed your question. Yes they send pictures to us including nudes. Sometimes we jump on webcam with them. We have a schedule so the guys are here so sometimes we have to film them but we are working on making this process better. Sorry I can't go into that much detail because of our competition etc.

Thanks for attempting to answer my question Mark. But what I am really asking you is without naming any specific models, as a gay man yourself who enjoys beautiful young men, aren't you sometimes unhappy with the quality of some of the models that you are putting on your site in recent months?

And shouldn't there be a way to correct that from happening in the future?

You are spot on in your judgment. Thanks, if I was in Brooklyn, I'd kiss you on the top of your head. LOL

Yes there is a few models I am not happy with. However we do have the best pool of models since Broke Straight Boys was started. I think we all have a heart and sometimes it is hard to turn certain guys away because they really do need money, are about homeless or something so that is something to keep in mind.

 

[keylow365]

I understand that Mark sometimes it is hard to not want to happen someone truly in need.

 

[elyot1]

Who actually does the casting? Is there a standard? If a guy is hired to model he should have the qualifications. Its a job like any other job. Youdon't hire a person who can't drive to drive a taxi, even if he is homeless. You direct him to a place where he can get what he needs. Needing money or a job isn't a qualification to model.

Like I said I can't go into details but yes there is a standard. We are working on correcting this so it doesn't happen again. Thanks for your patience.
