I'm headed to Brazil next month and will be spending a lot of time with the friends I made in Rio and Sao Paulo. They've been encouraging me, in a friendly and educational way, to avoid seeking out Garoto's and instead focus on meeting guys through them and at various social events we'll attend. However, I plan to visit a sauna on the days I have free to explore on my own. Based on my past experiences in the Sauna, I am sure to meet someone there that I connect with, and if the situation feels right and the price is reasonable, I'd be open to it. But if I don't feel a genuine connection, no matter the cost, I wouldn't be interested.
Besides, I don't think about the ones that got away.
I also want to add that I think we all tend to judge guys based on our initial impressions and estimated price range. As we talk and get to know them better, that initial extimate can change, similar to how our perceptions can shift when chatting with guys online. Personally, I know quickly if I'm interested in someone based on just a couple pictures. If either of us require more pictures... Well that borders on persuasion, it feels more like a sales pitch and probably neither of us is as interested in the connecton as much we pretend to be.
So when it comes to Garoto's. If it was to be, it will be. If you can't connect because of $$, then move to the next guy. If they were worth crying over, then they are worth paying extra for. That is my opinion anyway....
