i was probably there for a 100 late night dinners between 2001 and 2007 or 8, it was great but after the gay disco next door closed down and the park across the street installed bright lights and the dismise of street hustlers, all these things had a direct influence on the restaurant realizing it couldn’t rely on the after 10:00 pm gay crowd for that portion of their revenues anymore! i remember nights when there would be 25+ guys across the street on the park side leaning against the fence waiting to be noticed!

Seems Tasso is not alone for having observed this behaviour. I was also very disappointed back in 2012 by the attitude of a group of Romanian hustlers in a hustler bar in Vienna. That is my only experience. There must be some sort of organised “ring” that causes them to aggregate and then share a common behaviour like this, when abroad. I mean, it is not as if Romanians in Romania are any worse than Italians in Italy.

Any knowledge as to why it changed? I would guess that management of the restaurant or the owners were the ones to discourage or shoo the hustlers and pay boys away. I’d think that was a ooor business decision, because the few times that I’ve gone there after dark since 2011, the restaurant has not had very many customers there.

Hmmmmm

please no

no, I do not. and I live and let live instead of whining and telling

Just learned the conversion of real to dollar....100R is under $25 US....$24.75 to be exact... Things are about to be GREAT this weekend for me...

I hear Trump taught Cohen to do this. Recording people in meetings without their knowledge has been a Trump tactic for decades. Roy Cohn taught Trump to do this. In NYC business, this has never been a secret. Everyone knew if they were taking a meeting with Trump it would be recorded. If Michael Cohen brings down Trump, Cohen will go down in history as a hero. The man who saved the United States of America from Trumpism. I can't wait.

So many years in Brazil and these wolves have always eluded me. Any suggestions on to where to find and attract one?

Somewhat long-ago repost. She's a genius.

I went last night and it brought back old memories, except no boys and no disco next door (I can't remember the name even though the waiter told me it last night). I told TomCal that we should start going back after the saunas and he replied "why go back no boys go there" We could change that, was always nice after getting a second breath to go another round before bed.... plus was a good meeting place to meet board members. Anyway, the waiter in the pic said to say hi to anyone that used to go there and he hopes we start again, he misses the fun (and money I'm sure).

Delta Sky Miles (Sky Pesos) got a bad rap for good reason. Horrible redemption values. Then they dropped their reward charts. However lately that's turned out good as they have incredibly cheap specials pop up. Right now on their nonstops from JFK to Zurich from late September to May (I think) many days it's as low as 22,000 miles roundtrip. (It has to be roundtrip.) Fees are just $50 total. There are other low mileage redemptions to other cities from JFK but not quite as low. There are other specials from several cities to Sydney and Shangai (60K roundtrip). I'm booking 2 trips to Zurich for 24K miles roundtrip each. Swiss air and other carriers have plenty of cheaqp flights to other cities. I know Vueling has flights to Prague often for $55 total. (That's how the guys travel). Wish I could talk some of them into coming over. If nothing else it's worth it for a few days at Patagonya. Normally the lowest roundtrip to Zurich is 60K and those are hard to find. Normally to Asia it's 60K miles each way. (I'm not keen on steerage for 24 hours).

Today the real is trading at the highest it has been in nearly 15 years - R$4,07 to $1 - today - https://tradingeconomics.com/brazil/currency Historically, the Brazilian Real reached an all time high of 4.18 in September of 2015 and a record low of 0.01 in January of 1993 when it was almost equal to the U.S dollar.

Yes, this was an incredibly great place. Every night after the sauna Pointe 202 got less busy (around 10 o'clock or so in the evening) many of us gringos walked the short distance from Pointe down Siqueira Campos to this semi outdoor restaurant. Almost every night the place was busy and had a countless number of garotos available. Most garotos stood in the street in front of the restaurant or close by on the sidewalk waiting or hoping for a signal from one of us to join them at a table we had. Those were the days that we thought and hoped would never end - but they did!

For those among us who have never been. Corujinha de Copacabana Rua Hilário de Gouvêia, 7 - Copacabana https://goo.gl/maps/9d96B8Eko322

a couple of guys who now go to Pointe figured out that even though it is crowded with more customers, they don’t make anymore money because of the long wait for rooms on Tuesdays!

Dear Mark, You didn't do much to win hearts and minds here during your short visit. And that's too bad. What you did do, apparently, is bring shit attached to your shoe from deej's board with the intent to clean your shoes here. From my understanding, Oz, the owner of this board, does not appreciate using this board for that purpose. He has said so many times. I think you're lucky your posts lasted this long. It's clear you have a desire to participate somewhere and be part of the discussion. Your post count is quite high at the other board, which usually means fellow members have strong opinions about your contributions, good and bad. I think I understand customers like you, but I have a lot of experience dealing with idiosyncratic personalities. I don't have a problem with your penchant for the "report" link. Some guys have a cop fetish and they love to play Inspector Clouseau. Finding and announcing a "fraud ad" over at the deej board is a game of sport for several members, and most other members truly appreciate those PSAs. So this coin has two sides. It's important to understand that deej's primary role was to protect Daddy's financial liability. With the servers based in America, that website is subject to U.S. laws. It is not protected if and when someone breaks the rules. Daddy was always paranoid about government sanctioned fines. When you have no money (or assets), you tend to worry about getting into trouble with the law. Now that deej's mantel has changed, I suspect he's no better off financially, which is why the cry for more donations will never end. I have a photo of deej, and I can tell you, I've never seen his tired haircut, ugly ass shopping on Rodeo Drive. The point is, NO ONE is allowed to tamper with their financial risk over there. That should explain their gun-trigger use of the "Time Out." One of my first "Time Outs" occurred when I posted a photo of Mandingo, the famous Black porn star, with a full-on erection. I was new. I did not know the law then. I did not know Daddy's server details. When I said on the board that I did not know, deej called me a liar. He was always good for an insult laced with hate. After numerous emails back and forth with Daddy, I set out to receive a crash course in their paranoia. It was another level of research that informed me. In the wake of Rentboy's demise, any U.S. based website that dabbles in subjects close to porn is going to be subject to scrutiny. If there is one thing the Republicans love, it's telling others how to have sex and when to have it. Just as long as you're not having more fun than they are. I suspect you'll be back, Mark. You may want to consider a new username and start with a clean slate. Old baggage just tends to look old and ratty. People usually like to play with new and prettier things. Best wishes.

Never heard of Romeo or Hunqz ever coming up with that.

@SolaceSoul That was actually a really helpful link! So thanks for being snarky!

@Latbear4blk was making, I believe, a morbid -- and true -- joke on current (and past) affairs such as H.L. Mencken used to do.

Muscle guys are like migrating bird species. Everyone knows where to find them, but no one knows how exactly they figure it out how to get there.

Which means I can get laid by a smokin hot muscle boy at Pointe for $25 ?? Youza !

I will miss you, @Lucky. I was planning to invite you for dinner in PS 2019, but it looks like instead I will be going to Mexico that week. Therefore, this is the only space where I would be able to socialize with you for at least a couple of years. It is weird that you would decide to go right where you seem to enjoying it the most. Anyway, you are the master of your decisions. I hope you change your mind.

America, the country where Trump was elected president and where Cohen and Omarosa may become heroes.

Pleading can be a good deal for the guilty and, obviously, for the prosecution. The guilty likely will receive a reduced sentence and the prosecution (tax payers) are saved the expense of a trial. Not such a good deal for the innocent or ignorant. However, still could be the best deal. Best regards, RA1

Elevated thoughts delightfully expressed! Let's make a new rule: No gossiping about folks at the table. And if one simply must address someone directly, one's remarks MUST be prefaced by "Bless your heart...".

That should’ve read “wolf gay meaning”. I’m sure morning may have given different results!

And only a few minutes walk from Hotel Atlantico.

I have been going to Brazil for 17 years and I Have NO idea what it is or heard the term “Brazilian Wolf” before! maybe i just hang in the wrong circles...

I told him that I just wanted a gay touch in all his planned tours. The only specific thing I mentioned was that I was planning to visit the saunas and try the garotos de programa, without his help. But do not worry, I got the point. I am stupidly and ridiculously anxious about this trip. I need to slow down. Bitches.

Of course he does, he has an account. Before he got an account he could not see any ad. It would only take a 10th of @mvan1‘s brain power to figure that out. PlanetRomeo/hunqs is the largest escort ad site in continental Europe, so when I come to the Europe thread, I always expect to find links to hunqs. if they don’t want to open an account, they are loosing out on most European escorts. Maybe they are not actually able to hire in Europe? In which case everything in the Europe forum is useless to them anyway.
