No, not all roads lead to Bali. My trainer, who's straight and a popular fitness model in Bangkok, was just complaining on his social media this morning that, based on reports from his many followers, his pics, all taken in Thailand, were being used without his permission on gay hook up apps and commercial sites and have been seen in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and places in Thailand he had never been to. His pics could be mis-used all over the globe for all he knows. Such is the nature of the technology and the disingeneous nature of man. Therefore it doesn't mean that if somebody had seen my trainer's pics three or ten times on a Grindr profile in Singapore, the profile belongs to my trainer or that he's physically in Singapore. Common sense. When I first saw the pics posted in this thread, my first thought was that the first guy was either of south Indian or Timor Leste origin and the second was from one of the Tai tribes in northern Thailand and I will explain why I believe this to be true.  Besides his features which I feel are typically south Indian if one takes away the bright flash filter, there is a poster on his wall which I've attached below by Vidya Sharma, a modestly known local writer, guru and mindfulness coach from Karnataka State in South India. It follows that a budding bodybuilder from the same region would be inspired by a quote from Vidya Sharma than one remotely in Bali.  Secondly, the staircase design and barrier is quite common in more modest south Indian homes, as confirmed by my friend at lunch today. My friend is Malaysian of south Indian origin and has been all over South India to visit his relatives and Bengaluru for business numerous times. When he showed me the pic, he immediately teased me that I had gone Indian in my tastes (I have no racial or skin colour preference). Coincidentally, we were at a banana leaf restaurant where all the staff were from various parts of South India and the three we asked all said the guy in the pic is south Indian and one even claimed it was his friend from Cennai. 🤣 Now, I shall move on to the cute guy in the second pic. The garuda chest tattoo wasn't very instructive as it is not unusual in cultures with Buddhist or Hindu influences and consequently elements flowing from the Ramayan. Next was the full choker tattoo and stretched earlobe. Stretched ear lobes aren't common in Balinese culture. I thought he could possibly be Dayak from Kalimantan or East Malaysia but the Dayak do their neck tattoos and stretched earlobes differently. And he's just too cute to be Dayak (my bias). 😅 So I went back to my first instinct and sent his pics to two good friends in Thailand: one is a tattoo artist and the other a cultural anthropologist. They both came back with nearly identical replies: the overall tattoo design and style of dress would suggest the young man is from a northern Tai tribe but they couldn't pinpoint which because of cross-cultural influences. Even the stretched ear lobe isn't confined to the Kayaw or Lahu tribes anymore and it is "more cool" to have only one ear lobe stretched or pierced these days instead of both. Now I'm not going to say my circumspect reasoning and analysis show that all roads lead to South India or northern Thailand as that would be too arrogant and simplistic, but rather, a plausibility worthy of consideration.    

When 555 first opened a few years ago, they labeled themself as the Old Fragrata.  Anyone familiar with the old Fragrata know that the two places are as different as day and night.  Nevertheless, I visited 555 and was impressed with the facility but very disappointed with everything else; no garotos.  Twice I went there and the place was not even opened!!!!  After one more disappointing visit there, I gave up and never went again.  Indeed a visit there was a waste of time and money; at least for me.  I was delighted with the opening of Python, but unfortunately the place closed down.  I do not know why there are not more saunas in such a large city like Sao Paulo.  Maybe the hundreds of program guys advertising on various internet escort sites have something to do with it.  I am not a fan of using the internet escorts sites but may eventually have to use them 😑

He said nothing happened while he was there!

Doesn't matter if they have a beautiful round bubble butt. 

I would ask the guy on twitter or X. I am not sure what his name is but he seems to know and get alot of guys in africa. His X handle is @StoryVillage. He has a whatsapp number in his bio for a group he runs. But he has stories of straight guys from villages and other areas that give it up or put it down for beer money.
