Looks like Michael has been replaced by the other Michael in Dylan's affections. Also, best friend, someone he's known for months, haha, what a coincidence he's wealthy and making Dylan money...

And to appease the whiners...

That Michael Gruen guys is interesting to me, not because he's interesting but because of all the twinks he surrounds himself with. I'm pretty sure he's the one who convinced Luke Mullen to wish Dylan a happy birthday. I would be shocked if Luke Mullen gave a rat's ass about Dylan.

Someone should do an exposé on Michael Gruen.
 
I'd guess it's the fact that Gruen can connect Dylan with celebrities. Plus Cohen only really acts as a middleman, and Dylan's probably met everyone Cohen can introduce him to.

All this being said, should be said he is still hanging out with Cohen, they got their hair done together not long ago.
 
So I'm guessing Gruen has more money than Cohen, is more generou$, has more clout or something?

This is related in only the sense that I have a story to tell about sugar daddies and the like. I had the privilege of a model contacting me wanting to shoot while he was in south Texas. He said he started an O/F and wanted some content and was hoping I would shoot him for free. I was happy to oblige of course. He is "known" to be a hot straight fitness model with a rapidly growing following. When he arrived I asked him what brought him to Corpus and he said an O/F fan flew him here and put him up at the nicest hotel and took him shopping and bought him lots of expensive gift, all of which he had with him since he had to check out of his hotel before our shoot. (He has a flight tonight at 5pm). It shocked me that this "starting level" fitness model is having someone in a relatively small city spend all this money on him (2 new pairs of shoes he had were about 1000.00 each!). It made me think, damn there are some guys out there really spending money on these social media "models" and these "models" are willing to do almost anything to get the money they make. SO it does not shock me at all that there are people like Dylan and Michael who are a perfect match in "model" or "social media star" and rich guy willing to spend whatever it takes to get close to them. I don't know why I had such a revelation today during this shoot, but I must say it was interesting to hear about this models life now and who all is in it, and why and how. Dylan better enjoy this though as looks can only go so far and last so long. I will say that these guys are lucky since I think Dylan is a good looking guy. I just wish I liked his personality more but I guess that doesn't matter for those paying for his "company" whatever that may entail.

The saddest part - at least for Dylan - is how many of those types worship straight guys. I can't help but wonder (said in my Carrie voice) if Dylan would've been "limited" to the likes of Cohen if he never came out.

Have to ask though - why did you agree to shoot him for free?
 
Gruen is very young and not that much older then a lot of the influencers he is seen spotted with. He and actor Jace Norman but its not clear of it is still going. Had links to the world o sports agents and now seems more interested in male influencers. He has seems to have some pretty serious Republican connections. I'm not convinced he is out or has ever even had sex. Just speculation on my part but no real evidence he is anymore then a promoter/manger/hanger-on to these influencers.

Reminds me of the thank you message Dylan gave to James Charles in January after complaining about being broke.
I assume money was involved.

These young guys really making a solid career out of doing this lol
Like many have said, what will reality look like once the drugs affect their looks and they get older?

He is extremely attractive and I knew we would create some great work together. We shot for an hour and 1/2

Yes, he has befriended all the usual IG and O/F guys and they all tell him these stories about free clothes and free travel. And this was his first experience of that with this "client" of his. I would guess that in all his client spent around 5,000 on him in total.

So really, are you that different from his client? Just seems odd that you say that this opened your eyes to what was going on with these guys when you're offering him free stuff yourself just because he's attractive.

Actually its quite common for photographers and models to do a TFP deal. (Trade for print.)
The photographer gets images for his/her portfolio and the model gets images for their portfolio as well.
It's more common among photographers and models who are just starting out, need something for their portfolio, but don't have much money to spend.
However, sometimes established photogs will go for it if a model has a really strong or unique look.
