The same thing happened to me on my week long trip to Mexico where i brought a guy along from Sao Paulo! I really like him a lot and he messages me every day and says all the right things! But i dont know if its a line or the truth! I tend to believe its a lone but... he didnt ask for any money for the week in Mexico! I paid only for the airfair($700.). He is planning everything for my trip in January to Brazil and will be coming to Maxico in March, although i really like him i am already getting a little restless! So we will see what happens!

I wouldn't think the Trump demographic wuz much inclined to splash out to see a Black Broadway historical musical comedy in the first place. Maybe if they put it on in blackface and set it to some catchy country tunes...

I pay $350. - $400.R for 24 hrs that includes whatever i want to do but as a rule includes going to a club, sex when we get back to the apt, dinner, usually we sleep thru breakfast and then we go to lunch and it is 90% me asking them to go as they are happy to stretch it to 48hrs or 72 hts for that rate, there is always 1 for sure and usually 2 that speak English and provide the necessary translation skills if neeeded!

Some of it is tribal, Lucky. One of my coffee shop/truck stop pals is super conservative, religious, big Trump guy and has two kids and two grand kids. He's in hog heaven. In his mind Trump speaks for his tribe. His very gay son walks around town with his very, very gay (and cute) boyfriend and my buddy has not a clue. Everyone knows but no one has the heart to tell the guy. We see what we want to see, in family as well as politics.

When the actors of Hamilton addressed Mike Pence at their show, I thought it was done in a very respectful way. However, Trump and the alt right are very upset and wanting to Boycott this musical. I think back to a statement I heard often this election: Whinny Little Bitch You can't have your cake and eat it too!

Re: what we pay: I look at it this way, if i am not asking you to pay my bill then its none of your business what i pay! Iunderstand Beebies wanting to know but when i started coming to Rio 15 years ago we had to learn on our own and thats still not a bad idea! Everyone is different what they pay, and depending on your experience, and how easily you fall for the sob stories! It's amazing how many garotos grandmothers need heat surgery! Much greater then the national average by at least 10 fold!! LOL! Seriously i have foumd it is so individual! Do what you think is best not someone like me or anybody on here! I have A good friend who makes about 1/5 as much as myself and a couple of other close friends do, yet he pays T least 50% more! Why? 1) his personality doesn't give the boys the idea they will enjoy their time with him as much as with me or the other friends so they ask for more! I never ask a guy how much! I find someone i like i take them up to a room, after we are done i hand him the monney and turn to leave saying "if you would like something to drink i will be in the bar". I have NEVER had a guy come. asking after me asking for more! (caveat here, as badboy has said i am well known and the boys all talk! More then we do so they are probably aware what they are going to get paid!) But my friend on the other hand does this: he says to the boy "is $100r. Enough? What 20 year old is going to say yeah??!! They always go No it is $200. Or whatever the higher amount they are seaking is!

Would the guy have to use complete words? I mean if he says Engl when he means English, does it count as English? If you say Prtgs and he doesn't know that you mean to say Portuguese, will that mean a deduction from his pay? Why can't you just say what you mean without abbreviation? Is it that hard? I've been doing it all of my life and it's no burden. And are you going to pay him in res or reais? Could make a difference!

We see what we want to see...to a point. When the economy falls all around us, we'll see that whether we want to or not. And when the nukes start flying, I doubt people will confuse them with hummingbirds.

i am just talking to guys on the internet, about my january trip. but i choose students, that speak a little bit english. i offer 300 reais for 24 hours and the guys are very OK with this. this is probably not enough for proffecionals from 117 or MM.

As always...thanks for the info... This helps me understand what is typical so I don't get taken.... For the first time in all my years of traveling, I have decided to hang out with one guy elusively in December and asked him how much it would be....Not too bad overall...

We usually go to one of the restaurants in Ipanema within 3 blocks or so of the apt.! But this area includes Farme de Amoedo the "gay" street! The restaurants around there are average for the most part not high end, none of the guys drink alcohol so i would estimate dinner for 5 of us averages around $100. - $125. Depending on where wd go! Usually one night a visit depending on which guys are with us i might do a Porcau or Fugo de Chau which is much more expensive but the last two trips i didnt although 3 of us did go Hang gliding which is not cheap but well worth it!!

Mike Pence said he did not know if this was a proper venue for those comments but they did not bother him. He recommended the play as being worth seeing. Talk is cheap but at least it was a reasonable response. Best regards, RA1
