This popped on my Facebook page and I instantly thought of Hito. I know maybe not his thing, but cute still.

Love GC.

Russian is becoming more dangerous day by day for Russian Gays! http://www.rferl.org/content/russia-videotaped-bullying-gays/25062657.html

Yes, that is what I meant to say. Anyone heard of this know? Know about it?

Lucky, great story. You are bold. That was a risky move you made in order to get him but it paid off. And, just IMHO, if you see him again, he will be willing to do more and more. This makes me wonder just how many of you reading this would have approached the guy in the first place? I know for me, it is easy as I am not shy in the least. But, I know many would think it is not something they would be able to do. For Lucky, it paid off. But, would you be able to bring up this to a stranger in a location that is not a pick up place?

I was initially attracted to him because I thought he was "pretty". I thought he was a superstar looking guy. That is always enough to get me in bed a few times. But, there must be something more to keep us together. For this guy, it was his bad boy attitude. He has really mellowed over the years but he still loves to fight with others. There are many guys I find attracted like the Bel Ami porn stars. Or, the guys in the saunas in Brazil. But, that is enough only to get me so far. I like and want a bit more. As for the hottest guy in the room, I often find that is the one that has a pretty face but looks like he is a bit dangerous.

A friend of a friend was paralyzed from shoulders down. He was making arrangements to do stem cell therapy there at Better Being Hospital. He believes this will help him to walk again. I know nothing of this place and have never heard of it. Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated! http://www.betterbeingthailand.com/

My dear, what is the point of being saved if you can't have a good time at the end of the night?

Adam, it is quite funny that every taxi drive I meet in Thailand that knows how to speak English talks about Bill and Hillary. They say she is going to be a great President. I agree with them. I can't wait till she gets into office and starts busting some balls.

LOL I want a guy that has an actual gun hidden behind his shirt and then a big dick on the front.

On my last trip to Thailand, I brought my pressure cooker. I love cooking with me but the issues with the past few months made me leery. I had to google it to see if the TSA allowed it. They do but it was hard to find. I did break the cooker up into two parts. One with the lid and one with the pot. I had no problems after that. http://www.amazon.com/Kuhn-Rikon-Duromatic-Pressure-Stockpot/dp/B001A08VPK/ref=sr_1_7?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1375373390&sr=1-7&keywords=pressure+cooker

I don't think going full guns blazing into a relationship is ever a good idea. There must be more than a cute face. But, what attracts Lucky and others is not what attracts me. I like a bad boy. The badder the better. I want to be able to have someone who will protect me should I ever need it and someone who can beat the shit out of anyone who fucks with me. OK, that has not happened too often but there have been a few cases. With my current Thai boyfriend, he has been with me for 9 years. We were at a disco about 8 years back and were with a group of 4 other Thai boys and 4 or 5 ladyboys. We were all enjoying ourselves when some guys from the Middle East kept hitting on the ladyboys. The ladyboys were the lovers of the boys. They were out to have a good time together. I was tired of their constant oogling and flirtations so I put my hand on the chair beside me basically cutting them off from our table. They kept on. One of them pushed up against me to say something crude to one of the girls and I turned around and said, "Please don't push me and leave the ladies alone. They are with their dates." It was Pattaya, Thailand and the city is known for the working girls and boys but tonight, they were all off just relaxing. I turned back around to my group and in less than one minute one of the guys behind me intentionally pushed up against me again. I started to stand and turn to face them. Before I could even stand up, the BF had broken his beer bottle, made his way over 3 of our group and had the bottle on the throat of the guy behind me. When the other boys saw this, they all did the same and the group had bottles ready to cut anyone who moved. Security saw this across the vast Hollywood Disco and they were running over to the area. I told the guys that were causing trouble that they just fucked with the wrong group. I told them this was not their country and hitting on the guys girlfriends was a bad idea. I also told them to pay their bill and leave before they were in serious trouble. I told them there was no way to win this fight as the boys would win. The group of foreigners all looked around, and decided it was time to leave. They did. The boys were all ready to kill them for pushing into me so hard. Sorry, long story, but that is the kind of thing that attracts me. Two of those boys are still with me to this day. The BF and the first guy behind him with another bottle. While that may not be attraction based on looks, I think I did pretty well in picking hotties as well. Both are perfect for me. But, many of you would not find them attractive in the least. Give me a guy with a big dick, a few tattoos, a gun in his pants and a fighting spirit, and I'm in love! Give me a boring hot guy who is a great fuck but no personality, and I'll enjoy the fuck, but that is about it.
