We have gotten many suggestions by people to create a Gay Romeo Forum where members can post reviews of guys they have met and give suggestions of guys they recommend and those that should be avoided.

 

This is something that is very new to us and we would like some suggestions on a format to use for this section.

 

Here is our initial list of rules for the forum. Please give us suggestions on what to add.

 

1. When posting a new review, create a new thread about the person. However, if there is already a thread started, you may post a response to that thread. To Create a New thread Post both the Website, Username, Date

For example, a Title for JackNude68, would be:

 

GayRomeo - JackNude68 - July 2013

 

2. We do not want photos that are nude in the threads if they show the cock, however, other photos are encouraged. We know that many members take photos of the guys they meet and it is OK to post those here if you have permission to by the guy you met.

 

3. We ask that you post the username and the profile number for the guy you are reviewing.

 

4. We ask that you write in as much detail as you can about your experience. Give us all the dirty details you feel comfortable in sharing.

 

 

Answer these Questions in your Review:

 

Profile Name

Profile Number

Is this the Guys First Review? Yes/No

Location:

Age:

Weight: Kilos

Body Type: Slim/Athletic/Muscular/Average

Dick Size:

Sexual Position: Top/Bottom/Versatile

Tattoos: Yes/No Details

Did they live up to your expectations? Yes/No Details

Did he look like the photos you saw Online? Yes/No Details

Is he a "working boy" or just a hookup? Yes/No Details

Were they affectionate/passionate? Yes/No Details

Were they on time? Yes/No Details

Would you meet them again? Yes/No Details

On a Scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest, what would you rate them?

 

Detailed Description of the encounter or any other details you wish to share:

Good idea. Works well on sawatdee-gay-Thailand.

I used to think a gogo boy review would also be a good idea but numbers change

and many boys free lance and move around these days.

I'd like to make some suggestions.

 

1. The title of each thread should only be the nickname the boy uses on GR. Then it is easy to keep track of posters' comments about each guy.

2. Rather than rambling posts, there should be concise comments on specific points of common interest - with space at the end for perhaps 2 or 3 lines of personal comments.

3. There should be room against certain points to indicate whether or not they were accurate - e.g. did he look like his the photos? Was he about the age he posts? Did he perform as indicated in his profile? So I think it is preferable that the items Scooby has listed in his para 4 should be separately listed items. So the template should be longer and very specific.

4. I have seen a few pretty dreadful comments about some GR boys in their Guestbooks. Why the guys leave them there, I have no idea - other than perhaps they are not aware of them. But I do think outrageously negative comments should not be encouraged. It's easy to give factually bad impressions without trashing someone!

 

In view of the other social networking sites like grindr and jack'd, should the thread be expanded to cover all similar sites operating in Thailand rather than be exclusively limited to gay romeo? It's surely a bit much to have individual threads for each.

Good suggestions by FH.   One of the most important things is did he look like the photo. Was he older or not him at all.

 

Was boy anxious to leave or willing to hang out or does poster prefer they leave after the deed.

 

I do think Gayromeo is quite enough since there is usually much more info on boy there then those other sites.  Also I have found in Thailand at least on Grindr almost all the boys are also on Gayromeo.  In fact its quite funny when you ask for their Gayromeo name how often you find additional photos that make you less inclined to meet.

 

Another thing to know is he good at showing up on time or usually do you have to call ?

 

I have to admit I have so many good boys I could post about .  I also have a few whose photos do not match their current looks or who were quite unwilling to perform as expected.

 

I do have more in Pattaya then BKK but that is because I spend more time in Pattaya the last 2 years.

 

I do think there is no reason to list weight, height etc since all that info is available in the Gayromeo profile.

 

A simple yes or no did he have the stats listed in profile would suffice.  If not what was different.

 

I am more interested in the experience and if he matches the profile. If I am interested because of the positive review I can then decide if he is too tall or too heavy etc etc for me by looking at his profile.

 

I know I am rambling here but lets create more ideas so we can have a concise form that leads us to go to the profile because of positive remarks .  For instance if the boy Bottomed for the reviewer , he may  have no knowledge of his Top capabilities even if he lists himself as versatile.  On the other hand the reviewer may have suspicions and can certainly state them in his narrative.

I would suggest putting the username & location in the thread title.

Oh. Are you sure you want to organize "meat market" here?

 

Is OK to publish photos of boys without their "OK" in advance?

 

Will review like " Very enthusiastic and good bottom boy, makes everything for free" from 30 yo forum member 185\75\18 helps to 65 yo member 165/120/12  ? 

Oh, and one more thing: any mention of money in connection with boy will means criminal evidence since prostitution in Thailand is officially illegal.

Moses has an extremely valid point. Prostitution is illegal. Any indication of a fee/tip being agreed in advance is technically prostitution. I know this is one of the indicators on the SGT gay romeo forum - "Tip was as discussed and agreed" - but that is a matter for the owner of that Board. I suggest its inclusion on gaythailand.com might throw open the possibility of police action both for the owner of this Board (encouraging prostitution), for the gay romeo boy and for the poster. The police would have all the evidence they need in writing. I'm not a lawyer, but I do think this is a potentially troublesome area.

Any indication of a fee/tip being agreed in advance is technically prostitution.

Yes, but of course no one here would do that.

Ahem!!

 

Was there money involved? Was money discussed in advance?

This would of course only be applicable to GayRomeo boys outside of Thailand, in the many countries where prostitution is perfectly legal, as it should be.

I have made several changes to my post in this thread that incorporates the many suggestions. Thank you.

You mean like someone offering a sensual massage for money?

Hehe... Thank you Michael Do you still remember that site? Wow

 

Yes, http://www.thaimasseur.biz offers "sensual massage". But it is about sensual massage, not about sexual service. Some kind of marketing: masseur has good skills and client for sure will have pleasure from his touching. But it is about professional touching and FAQ section explains it clear: check Q. #3.

LOL I was just getting under your skin Moses. I just thought your post was about like the pot calling the kettle black. I personally have not issues with either scenario.

 

So, for you to be happy, we just put a Q and A and say:

 

Almost everywhere at streets of city you can find money boys, but almost nowhere you will find The Best Sex. If you want The Best Sex then this guy will be happy to serve you !

 

Again, just playing with your Moses. But, as you see, putting a vaguely worded explanation that doesn't really say there are no happy endings but leaves open the possibility really doesn't tell us much now does it?

Ah, no... To be honest there were 2 reasons to write "as it is written" now: 

- Ef is gay and that means he CAN choose make some extra touches by himself if client is "his type", but that will be not "a service"

- Asians don't like to say "No" directly. When Ef saw my texts - he did some changes to say "No" on asian way - more softly.

 

But speaking about topic: I really like Thai boys and want them to be safe when farangs will share details about them on open to any eye board.

I would hope that is something we all want!

 

If you look at Gay Romeo and see that there are tons of profiles there and in the Escort section, I think most people know what that means. I do not think a review of that person on a secondary site would have the same scrutiny. However, I love escort reviews myself and think they are a great way for the boys to get more work and make more money. As I now only want them to be safe, I want them to make money enough to live a good life and get a good education.

The more I think about a forum like this, the less enthusiastic I feel about it.

 

One problem I have is that there seems to be an assumption that all guys you meet on such sites are money boys, Were that the case, then a rating system certainly makes sense. But as had been said time and time again, many guys in BKK - or perhaps I should say "outside Pattaya" - are not money boys. Some will even refuse to take taxi-money (yes, that happens)! My feeling is that non-commercial guys may not be too happy to have their details and information about their 'performance' up on any site.

 

I realise the contra argument is that the sites in discussion are essentially public sites. But they are nothing like go-go bars.

There is BIG difference btw GR and GT sites: GR is not allowed to be indexed by robots of the search engines and nonmember of GR can't read profiles: so nobody can find info about boys via Google, Bing or Yahoo. At the same time GT if opened for indexing. So everyone can search and watch info about boys as well their photos.

IMHO, the boys that are not money boys but on the site are not the ones that should be reviewed. If you are looking for a date or a hookup then personal connections are what will make or break the encounter. And, while there are many guys that are not money boys on the site, the vast majority of the users that go Farang to Thai guy, use it in the same way they use the bars.

Really? So, it is the indexing by Google you have a problem with? I don't see that as an issue. I also don't think the police (in which you are referring to) will hunt for someone on a google index as opposed to the actual site. And, let me say, I have never seen that happen in LOS or in the USA with male to male encounters. Sure, there is a first time for everything, but your scenario is even more far fetched IMHO

 

Also, I am not sure why I am defending this other than some members seem to want it. I don't use GR for hookups and I most likely won't be writing reviews as most people who write them are writing about guys that are not my type. However, if that changed, I would love good info and facts about the guys as well. Esp. Did they live up to their photos. This would save a shit load of time.

 

I think the forum is a great idea and it does not bother me in the least. In fact, a friend and I were chatting last night as we grew up in the days there NYC and SF were filled with great gogo boys and hookers on stage. That has all but died out in most cities as they have all taken to the Internet. The same will happen in Thailand as it did in Amsterdam and other cities around the world. A forum like this is proactive IMHO.

And, while there are many guys that are not money boys on the site, the vast majority of the users that go Farang to Thai guy, use it in the same way they use the bars.

 

Sorry, Michael but as far as Bangkok is concerned, I just do not believe that is true!

I am sure you are right Fountainhall. I have friends that say the same thing and then they say that in the end, the boy ended up costing them more money.

 

It is my opinion that Thais love sex and that they don't mind it at all with an older or fatter foreigner. However, most of them are also looking for a way to improve their life outlook. That may not be the case for all the Thai's but it is for many even from the ones who are not official "money boys."

 

Yesterday, in a local sauna, I had a fun time with 2 Thais and 2 guys from Singapore. None wanted money and all were young and cute. But, in the end, that tends to be the quick (10 min) exception to the rule.

 

I would say the same thing about Babylon Sauna. The guys there are not looking for money but for a fun time. They are just not the boys I would be interested in. I am not looking for a 30 or 40 year old Thai. That is easy to get here for sex. It is not so easy with the 20 year olds. But, it does happen and I give props to those that experience it.

That may not be the case for all the Thai's but it is for many even from the ones who are not official "money boys."

 

That is a biased view. As I sad - and I stand by it - there are plenty of guys on gay romeo who are not looking for money. If you count a taxi fare 'money', then I'll withdraw my comment. But in terms of seeking a 'tip', there's a host of Bangkok guys on gay romeo who would not take one, and others who'd be offended by it.

I am sorry and I am not trying to offend anyone honestly. But, I do not believe the a 20 year old Thai will want to have sex with a 40-70 year old often out of shape farang unless there is something in it for him. I don't think the enjoyment of sex is the reason.

 

I have known many boys over the years from many countries and if you really ask them what it is they are looking for in a partner, they have certain criteria that most older farang do not have.

 

Now FH, lets also be realistic. You are a fascinating man. You are well traveled and a fabulous conversationalist. You are not the ordinary farang. Sorry, but if you see yourself as that, you are not thinking right.

 

I do believe that everyone brings something to a relationship whether it be more money, great sex, youthful body, etc. I also think that it is possible to find love in Thailand. Hey, my two boys love me more than anyone else on earth. But, they are the exception and not the rule. IMHO Their love for me has no ends and I hope that everyone finds someone like this. I only went through a few hundred (low estimate) in order to find these guys.

I do not believe the a 20 year old Thai will want to have sex with a 40-70 year old often out of shape farang unless there is something in it for him. I don't think the enjoyment of sex is the reason

 

 

Michael I appreciate and thank you for your comments. 

 

Yet, as one who argues the opposite viewpoint, I have had my fair share of criticism on a number of forums. But if you really take time to look carefully through the profiles on gayromeo's BKK pages and other sites, especially fridae (which I expect you rarely do), you will see that there are quite a number of guys who specifically state they are looking for "40 or up" or older. I have met just a few of these and so can only speak for them. But offering a tip is often met with a somewhat astonished look. Indeed, when you check again on those profiles, many will state categorically they are not money boys.

 

How about sites like Silverdaddies? Ever checked that. Again, there are many guys in their 20s on that site and money is far from part of the equation.

 

That's not to say there are no guys seeking older men specifically because a tip is likely to be in the offing. But to tar all with a money boy brush is, I suggest, pretty demeaning to those Thais. You judge from your experience; I judge from mine. And I'll argue my corner as long as I know it to be true!
