Colby Keller Shares His Frustrations Regarding His Big Shoe Adventure

It's been nearly a year since I spoke with Colby Keller about his Big Shoe Adventure, and Colby is now opening up on his blog (link below) about his many frustrations with the process. He's more than halfway through his trek across the US, and he's currently here in Chicago where he's having a hard time finding a hookup worth a damn.

Filming is still going strong (I'm in Chicago for a few more days to cross Illinois off my list, then off to cover more of this great nation!) and we have now have 6 videos (Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, Oregon, and West Virginia) available for viewing  at www.colbydoesamerica.com. Lately, though, I've been wondering about something I've encountered  more than once that totally baffles me: the non-hookup hookup. I'm not talking about catfishing (that’s a completely different kind of evil), I’m talking about the guys who go to the effort to set up a Grindr or Scruff profile, make an online connection, actually show up to the agreed upon location… and then fall flat, so to speak. I mean, I get that shit happens. And if it were a one-time (or even two-time) thing, it would be easy enough to chalk up to being a fluke. But I gotta tell you, it’s beyond frustrating to encounter the same thing often enough to wonder – what the hell?

In the aftermath of the Grabbys and IML, Chicago is teeming with hordes of horny, available men, right? Boners around every corner. So what’s with guys trying to hook up when they either can’t get it up, or can’t keep it up? I'm talking about young guys here, too. So is the problem too much sex already? Too much drugs? Too much alcohol? Lack of attraction? I mean, I’m pretty sure I look exactly like the selfie I took less than an hour ago. I know a lot of people have already seen me fuck (is that the problem, maybe?), but I'm still just a guy who likes to get laid. I guess my question is: why get online for sex, when you either can’t or aren't actually into having sex?  I'm not saying it happens all the time (#ColbyDoesAmerica would come to a pretty quick demise if that were the case), but  I do have to wonder. Nothing is more awkward than having to ask guys to leave your hotel room because they can’t get it up or they can, then can’t cum. Anyone else experience this oddity?

What do you guys think? Does Colby just have extraordinary bad luck? Are his standards too high? Have any of the rest of you had this same problem with hookup apps?
