You might be interested in a little experiment I just did. I basically tried to recreate my own experience on Grindr in Medellin but with a gay twink account. The only difference was that I didn't initiate chats. But this wouldn't account to many views. I still clicked on all the profiles I liked and let the computer run for 24 hours. Where got far into the 500 views, 25% messages and taps in 24 hours on my own account, this passive twink only got 136 views and 15% messages of which most were taps. That is a very big difference. Even though this isn't an exact science, it does prove to me that the "slim gay twinkies" are far less popular than in many European countries that I know of.

I started to think that I was the only one on the Latin board. The amount of boys that are looking for someone older is stunning, and unlike popular belief most are not money boys. I often discuss this with a friend, one thing they usually have incoming is the lack of a father figure in their life. I don't see this a lot in Europe. I also think it's about location. How many boys didn't I turn down when in Asia or Mexico...I would take them in a heartbeat back home. This more or less touches the point you are making, but would I pay that $150 in Bogota? Yes, if there was nothing else to be had, but there are so many to choose from that "overpaying" is not needed. Also, I assume that this guy you are talking about was an absolute 10 in your taste of men. Would he only charge $150 in the US? One thing that I love about Latin America, as opposed to many Asian countries that I frequent, is the boy's freedom of entry without a visa into Europe. I might have a week in November where I have a boy from Mexico come over. Sadly enough, this doesn't go for Cubans.

Why would stay somewhere where you have to register your boy when booking? You will be limiting yourself and better hope it works out with the person you registered. What I have read on airbnb, you could have problems with this. What I did was rent a house instead of an apartment. There is no doorman and you have your privacy. There is a section on Airbnb where each listing clearly writes those rules. When are you going?

I am not a star in writing trip reports. But, I was in Mexico last month and wrote some of my experiences on this forum.

It's that I have contact with a few of the webcam boys. On more than one occasion, I have been invited to a livestream via Grindr. My experience might differ from those who are into the muscled straight (looking) models. In December, I will be able to give you some feedback based on real live experience.

Does speculation trump fantasy? 😜

I guess it's tuff to know who to trust. Thais don't agree on a price "up to you" I wonder how often they get stiffed.

Just when I was about to propose. 😭

What a hero, pay half. Seems that he doesn't feel responsible for his husband. It's these stories that totally piss me off. And it's a vicious circle. Somewhere down the line a client is getting it back.

AirEurope

I booked all my tickets and apartments for my holiday. My business class ticket from Europe costs €1329. No, I don't expect the same product as Emirates, but I just need a flat bed seat. The fine print in the airbnb listings is important to read. Many of them don't allow guests of any kind. For now, I'm happy with my find. It's going to be a two month trip and will start in Medellin but only for a week. Then I,ll move on a few weeks. The reason is; a week should be enough for me to know if Medellin is for me or not. If I like it, i'll come back another month, if not, I'll come back a few days to take the plane back home from there. But honestly, if grindr is any indication, it might get pretty wild. @Latbear4blk I know you were planning a trip before my traveling dates. Have you been able to decide?

Are you in Medellin or are you spoofing your location? Are you using a profile picture? Use your country's flag in your profile name. I would just write what I am looking for in my profile in Spanish. Just translate it with google translate. However, if you prefere only English speaking boys, then write your profile in English. I always chat with Google translate open. I'm cruising while I am learning to read and write in Spanish. Also try different times to be online.

What would be the place/area to get an apartment if we want to have most things in walking distance? I mean, near the places that are open 7 days a week, like a popular bar. It might not even exist but that's what we have in CDMX. The place we go to daily is a a few minutes walking from our apartment. I know you said something about making sure that we can recieve guests. That I will do! Boys also told me that it was easy to rent a room in a motel for some quick action. Sounds like something I know from the Philippines. The love hotels.

I am very curious.

Romeo is dead in Colombia. What I saw is Prepago, Disponible, not for free and some variants of that. Then you got the "Quiero Sugar" tribe. I haven't figured them out yet. 100K, that is incredible cheap. Anybody know the names of the hustler bars? I was told that there are two.

Seems like you have some power @reader https://prnt.sc/1t5jzkp

I spoofed my location on Grindr today and located myself in Medellin. In Mexico I was excited because of 250+ (forget the number) views in 24 hours. In Medellin I got over 560 views in a 24 Hour period. Totally crazy, concidering that I also got over 100 messages and some only tapped. One money-boy told me he would charge 100.000 COP for a session at my place. So yeah, there is def. something going on there.

I agree! There will be some that make bank, but most wont. These online models come and go and that's for a reason.

I did get the same news from a Cuban friend. Howoever, there are no flights from any of the countries that I would have to fly from such as colombia, Mexico or Panama. But if it all goes to plan there, I will surely visit in January.

I can't say that I blame you altough I agree with @Ethanmiami, COVID numbers seem to be the best in the region. I'm not the best in making trip reports but i'll do my best to give you an impression when I am there. If you want me to check something out for you, just let me know here or in privat.

I will be there 3 weeks later and I would love to hear what's going on there. Enjoy your trip!

I wanted to show a short video of Cabaret Tito Punto y Aparte. I couldn't really film because they wrote signs all over not to do so. I might take it down after a few days because ... Anyway, it just shows how casual it all is. In the far back is the dance floor that you cannot see, but I didn't and will not venture out there because it too busy. The other video is of ... forgot the name of the place. As you can see the place looks shut. It's 2.30 in the AM and they are still open for the people that entered before 11pm. You can hear the music pumping inside. @Slvkguy Like you, I'm not a big app user, but when in Rome. Paying for sex is easy, but only if you are in places where you don't have to arrange this online. In my case that would be Pattaya or Tokyo. The paying them to go away doe hold true. I'm still not used to the thin air. I'm drunk after a few drinks and the next day is pretty much a write off. I was bummed out about that guy I mentioned in a previous post but something really crazy happened. It turns out that he didn't hit it off with my friend and contacted me again. This was last evening and he just left, it's 11 am. It's a long story with a lot of drama that I will spare you for now. Especially while I am still here and it's all still enfolding. He's definitely not a money boy and that's also a nice change. My friend is fucking like a rabbit. He's white, 52 but still popular. In the bars/clubs, boys come up to him every single time we are there. it pisses me off to no end 🙂 This was the same the last years when we were here and it's the same in Asia. But, the boys are passive twinks. One picture is of King, as I understand it, they closed it because of celling drugs. BoyBar is in the same block. As i understand it, they want to tear the whole block down. Gayte is still there. It's open and used to be full with students in the afternoon, but I haven't seen many people there.

Tinder is an effort that's not worth it if you ask me. Grindr is insane. This morning at 4 am a boy send me a message. A photo of him naked on is belly showing his ass. I said hi, he asked if i wanted to meet. He was a few hundred meters away but I was tired and just didn't respond any more. Mind you, I had only seen his ass. Then my friend told me this morning that he had a date at 2pm, he showed the pics of the boy. I mean, he was so handsome that we both didn't believe the pics where real. Then I saw that one of the pics was the same that I had gotten earlier that morning. In other words, it was the boy that wanted to meet me and I didn't respond to any further. My friend met him and came by later that day and it was the cutest guy I had seen this trip. Ughh, Coulda Woulda Shoulda. Point is, Grindr is no hassle at all. Especially when you are white (which I am not btw)... So many cute guys are into older men and no money needs to change hands. But, I have no idea what the deal is with the muscle guys. My only experience is with the slim twinkies and it seems that most on the Latin board are into hunks.

Just a short update: I haven't been out since Thursday. Friday, I started to feel worse as the day progressed and my blood saturation was all over the place. According to the doctor, who I visited yesterday, it was altitude sickness. I've been here on multiple occasions and never experienced it before. She figure that it had to do with health issues I had last year. Anyway, it seems to have passed and I feel ready to go. 🤞 I've still been active on the apps and it's busy. I'm never under 2 hundred profile views on Grindr and 20 to 40 guys that hit me up a day. The wide range is because I'm really not sure. It's just a lot. It's no my preference but there is no beating around the bush here. Messages are often very simple in nature. Some nudes with a good view of ass accompanied by some text like FUCK ME NOW! What I learned and most of you probably already know, many money boys write "Disponible" in their profile.

No, we didn't plan on it either. It was a long flight and we both wanted our beds for ourselves. Today was happy hour on Grindr and I got a few dates setup for tonight. Nice and casual. I'm making mental notes and will do some videos to next week. I should be able to make some reports. Will keep you posted!
