Hey badboy! It’s all good, it was just the way he expressed himself that made it clear to me on another level is all. I guess we all get things differently in our own way, and I am thankful to those who have responded. I was just asking a question out of interest, and it’s difficult in a forum of short burst commentary to explain the totality of ones interests, experience, thought process or personality, and easy to see only a one-dimensional perspective of someone and presume you know the rest. Like many, I’ve had lots of tough lessons and hard knocks - it’s just life and life has a way of making us humble, and it makes you wiser and more aware, but I also choose to live with a tender heart and an open mind while being discerning and street wise. Anyways, thanks for your input. 

Then that is a big difference...if you are looking for age comparable guys then you might be able to find that...
I'm sure there are a ton of attractive 30 and 40 years old in Rio who are not looking for money but maybe a boyfriend....
Your best chance of meeting guys like this would be in professional settings, upscale locales around Rio...not too sure if you will find something substantial off the apps either since a lot of the guys on the apps are looking for money OR a good time...
You knowing Portuguese is also useful...

In Brazil, even the 42-year-old, healthy, fit, active and handsome gringos pay for garotos.

Thanks Tomcal and Redxs soooo much! Appreciate it... I was meant to travel but am in lockdown in NZ after leaving Sydney to travel.
Tomcal as a seasoned expert and someone who has been so many times, I am keen to know your personal experience around finding a genuine connection with true affection with any of the garotos? I’m not naive but it would be nice if there is real friendship with romance, and natural tesao not simply something transactional where the guy is mostly straight, needs straight porn and viagra or has to close his eyes to think of someone else to get make it happen. Have you had anything long term or even relationships form out of this? 

@Sunchaser12  I can't wait to hear Tom's answer to this but the question is WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
And what do you look like?
If your goal is to find a lover or a boyfriend in Rio....Probably is not going to happen unless you are youngish...very attractive and can speak Portuguese...
If you are looking for a sugar daddy or boyfriend experience...you can most definitely get that....
It is going to be transactional all day long....now you may be able to develop a "friendship" with some of the guys you meet in Brazil but you will be paying for meals or lodging or evenings out to party or simply giving them money....UNLESS you are young and hot and attractive and they just want to hang out with you...
You are asking a question that has been answered time and time again within this forum and based on how you positioned that question, you are naive and a little delusional....
You want to have a good time in a country that offers that for a price...don't go into it thinking that one of the guys is going to fall in love with you because you are such a nice guy because you will simply be looked at as a walking ATM...
@Tomcal I can't wait for you to answer this again...Smile

1) Many of the guys online also work at either 202 on Wednesday or 117 on Tuesday which are the busiest nights at each sauna and yes you will find the same type if not the exact person at the saunas!
2) No, I probably have spent in excess of 500 nights in Brazilian saunas and never had a problem. A few guys over the years said they had something taken but with cameras in all the locker rooms and the traffic in them I don’t think that should be a concern. If it is, keep your wallet and phone etc with you in a drawstring bag! 
3) Either. Again no problem but I use Uber almost exclusively because of cost and convenience
4) Yes it is done, years ago before smart phones and when Corujinhas the infamous hustler restaurant was open it was common for the Americans to meet up after going to the saunas.
5) He hasn’t been involved in that or been to Brazil for a number of years! 
 
 

I remember fun times at Corujinhas...all thanks to tomcal for bringing me there the first time!

1 many of the guys online work in the saunas and some do not. many guys in the sauna don't work online. sauna prices are a little cheaper than online prices. sauna's are a little safer too - as guys have to show ID and will generally be personally known to saunas staff. plus, you can check guys out before meeting them.
2 I don't. don't think the lockers would allow you to use one though as key lock mechanism is inside the door.
3 I prefer Uber these days.
4 I've met up with a few guys and try and keep in touch and have made a few friends. Post your dates on here. 
5 Never heard of this guy - who is he?

Well, yes, he takes Übers and is on W’zap and IG so he is “visible” and you have likely seen images, but he does not take referrals from clients and is not ‘labelled’ or in the game sufficiently to have his name randomly shared. He is a soash-mead-plus-serendipity stumbled-across dude. 
When I myself make such an inquiry I typically expect to have a ready answer to the Qs posed: What have you done for us lately? What makes you a good sponsor to this quality hunk?
A few trusted buds here have the info, but there had been cultivated a foundation of trust. Many readers here agree with this principle and approach.

Gym personal training fee hot gogo with competition aspirations very reasonable. $40USD for 3 hours. In case you are wondering why 3 hours when typical sesh 1 hour, at 50 minutes of the planned 1 hour I could not take my drooling any longer ... had to get down to the business of rehydrating and balancing electrolytes with think creamy salty protein finish at about 3 hours. Now I have to make up for missed sets of reps.
