No surprised either. They have vending machines on the street that are dispensing jewellery for up to $1000. They never get vandalised. Different cultures lead to different crime levels.

I don’t need to be careful in Japan. And so, sorry, I won’t be. I will be careless there. I will show in any street my stack of 10,000 bank notes yen, my iPhone X max, my jewellery etc etc. And I’ll be fine.

You last sentence reminded me of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias

This whole thread is useful to me, both the report on the event and how others’ looks or outfit influence the chance of getting mugged.

What I describe are social skills, nothing to do with computers. The same advice would apply if it was on the phone.

If the guy advertises publicly somewhere, like viva local, anything goes, except what he is not giving in his ad. For example if he doesn’t have a face pic, then it would be out of order to post a face pic of that guy. For grindr guys, I wouldn’t post anything that reveals his identity, but would be happy to describe the sex in detail, purely for entertainment, though, because I don’t expect anyone to find the same guy, grindr is not fixed, it shows people depending where you and they are, unlike an ad. For sauna guys, I feel the real identity of the guys is out of order, so no face pics unless you have explicitly asked permission. But their sauna name is not their real name, so I have no issue posting that and the details of the sessions. After all they are selling a service which is legal, and we should be able to know who is good in the cabin, and who isn’t. We can only do that if we ID them by their sauna name. And the only people who will be able to find them from these posts are people going to the sauna, which to me is just like talking to another patron at the sauna itself.

Isn’t it obvious? You talk to him for a while, find out where he is, convince him you are really going to his city, and you are a good guy with deep pockets, and promise him enough money to attract him to come a real-life meet.

you can't chose boys from a specific city, only the region of the world. You have to check the field called "location" but some boys just type "Heaven" in this field. So you need to have a conversation with the boy and figure out where he is, if he will tell you.

I give up. Not sure what happened to you MVan. You used to be able to hold a rational conversation. Now, now, @Latbear4blk, behave! looking for more trouble!

MVAN, please. I don't know why you are missing the point. It is one thing not to like a sauna, it is another predict its downfall. Your friend has done both. We have no issue with him not liking a place. We were just surprised he can predict the future. We have made no prediction about any sauna surviving or failing at any point, we have no information whatsoever. We don't know your friend, we don't know how good are his prediction skills. It is just that most humans are not very good at predicting the future, so we are entitled to be surprised, that is all. But if you know he is good, we believe you. I personally hope (but do not predict) that we get a well-run 3rd sauna in SP.

Sometimes MVAN I wonder if you read your own posts. No not because he does not like the sauna, of course not, that is a non-sequitur. Because he makes predictions like this:

207.65 million / 323.13 million = 64.26% Sorry I couldn't let that one pass.

You have missed my most important argument in favor of exchanging tips for safety: When hiring an escort in the US, the most important precaution that I take is that I read multiple reviews of the guy I am hiring. This is not available to me in South America, so discussing what alternative precautions I need to take, is highly relevant, because what @Latbear4blk finds reasonable may never come to mind to someone who has only lived a cosy life in suburbia. You know, the crime rate of your DC neighborhood, or of Rio, is completely unknown to some of us. I am from Europe where gangsters don't even have guns! I don't quite get why you don't like it when people are exchanging tips on this. Are you upset that most Americans have never visited Murderville in DC, so they don't have experience with their own country's crime? But why would they visit it? I am going to Rio because it has beautiful beaches and I get fucks for $25. I am not going to find either in DC, so I have no reason to go see the worst of it. I assume American suburbanites feel the same, and so have not spent 2 weeks in a hotel right in the center of DC's Murderville. They need tips.

@Latbear4blk, you forget that we have reviews for US guys, so in the US, the answer to the question "how do I safely meet an escort" is always "If you are worried, only meet a well-reviewed guy." But we don't have that for South America. If they exist, it is still too hard for me to read them. So, I guess the question should be posed as "How do I safely meet un-reviewed guys in any high crime city?" (Brazilian cities are quite high up in the crime stats, see here: https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings.jsp, 6 Brazilian cities in the top 20, although Baltimore and Detroit are in there also.) And then people have some other questions that are specific to the country: what are the typical scams that are being performed in Brasil that are not common in the US? What is the ID card situation and can you rely on them? etc., etc.

Or a cupboard door in the hall that looks like a bedroom’s door.

Hmmm, they don’t wear name tags. Anyone has a picture they can post in the clubs?

It is here: https://goo.gl/maps/BdDtqMxh1et Corner of Frei Caneca and Peixoto Gomide.

No, I don’t.

Because you can’t see that Riobard’s text is just a silly joke to introduce his pictures, not actually asking for comment on the pros and cons of killing cute animals to eat them. That discussion is is for another forum altogether.

Oh my god. Jefferson (who used to be Victor’s room mate) just told me he doesn’t go to work at pointe either. They are all leaving? Competition from hotter guys is too hard?

This one? https://goo.gl/maps/xrU7EucFpGv

Ahem, Mvan ... we already knew from Riobard’s second picture of the same rock in the same post:

@Actionforyou At 202, ask for Victor to get a massage. I like him, good guy, formally trained as a masseur I think, and it can be tantric if you want to. They have a “menu” and tantric is one of the options I can’t remember the price, but it was reasonable.

Even if they have a place to play, I strongly recommend that you do not go to somebody’s private home, unless you truly trust them. Or unless you feel you can fight your way out (with a damaged knee, that seems unlikely). How do you know there won’t be 3 of his friends there, ready to coerce you into withdrawing a large amount from the ATM? (They will only realise that you didn’t bring an ATM card after they attempt to coerce you, which could be quite a scary experience). Frankly it is better at your hotel if you put everything in the safe. At least he knows that you could call for help at any time and the security staff will come. Sex motel is the best option, since your things are not there, and there can’t be a group of thugs waiting for you there.

Errrr.... are you aware that Medellín in completely inland? You want a lake-side resort near Medellín?
