KeepItReal

Along with the arrival of @Moses the focus shifts to #AlternativeFacts and not the plight of the people affected. Your bias against the West is showing.

No one should be unaware of local custom and reality when traveling and seeking companionship.

Beware of #AlternativeFacts in this thread!

New lows post IPO. Buying opportunity @EmmetK? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-media-share-price-stock-low-epstein-b2867602.html

Believe what you will, but if it was a simple "compliance issue" Grindr would have resolved it years ago to access the market in China. I agree - will spend my vacation money where I and my friends are welcome.

Are you saying the CNN is wrong: the apps mentioned in the article are still available and gay pride events have not been cancelled? I am glad you had good experiences, but that does not mean it is universal.

Yes, I have been to Shanghai and Beijing. My experience was sub-par, I have little motivation to return.

Be careful when visiting China. It is not a gay friendly country and they are actively working to suppress LGBT citizens. You don't want to get caught up in that. https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/china/china-gay-dating-apps-removed-intl-hnk

Why would you think that? I had no problem finding willing companions on my trips to Africa, even less traveled locations and smaller cities.

Also Ghana and Gambia where women from Europe frequently go to find companionship.

As it happens I went looking for a new companion on a popular site yesterday and guess who I found? Yes, the young fella wasn't advertising as an escort before, but is now! His phone number is the same on the site, so either he blocked me and moved on to bigger and better dicks...or he is overwhelmingly popular and just not keeping up with messages. 😆 Regardless, I am moving on and wishing him many happy orgasms! 😊

Good advice! Luckily I have other regular hires who can keep me distracted. I may even start looking for a replacement! 😉 Clearly I am starting to over-analyze in my advanced age! 😆

Being honest with myself today by admitting that I am a little heart broken. 💔 A regularly hire decided to move on and left me wondering what happened... Back story: I met Jose on Grindr 2 years ago and have been seeing him every other week. By now I have upped his rate to be double what we started with. We made a great match, I helped his career along and stepped in when he need a little extra (always a gift, never a loan). Things were good - we traveled a bit and our age difference was never that apparent even if he was the handsome younger guy. Haven't been able to reach him for 3 weeks now, but see activity on his socials. I believe he blocked my phone from reaching him. I am gonna miss this fella! 👀

You still don't understand the assignment. That's okay, you're busy, we get it.

Beware the trolls.

Remember back when the Republicans were sane? https://youtu.be/sAbmlOH1sZo (Yeah, me neither!)

Consider the source. Some people aren't happy if they don't have an opportunity to complain.

By the way, I read in the paper yesterday that 26% of European (EU) consumers indicates they are avoiding USA products due to tensions between the Trump administration and Europe (terrible tariffs). No wonder the US dollar is weakening against the Euro. 🫤

That is funny! One of my regular companions in South Africa is also fond of KFC so I indulge him whenever we hang out. I am resigned too!

Of course Ukraine has not declared war - they are not that stupid. If they do, Vlad the Vigilante would paint them as the aggressors even though he is the one committing armed robbery by taking what doesn't belong to him through violence.

I do the same - no to Chick Fil-A. Disney also made it onto my list last week. Pepsi and Target are on there as well. My money, my choice. Vote with your wallet.

Truly Remarkable Utterly Malevolent Person. Karma awaits.

I keep thinking of that old expression: live by the sword, die by the sword. 🤷‍♂️
