I have lived and worked in Thailand for over ten years. Once in a while I am looking for a new weekend playmate for fun-no strings attached- so I go window-shopping on Gay Romeo, Grindr...all the other gay social networks. I do not have time to go to a go-go bar or sit in a gay bar and pick up someone so I go the the gay social networks. I usually contact my regular Thai buddies who I have met on line and have built up a friendship beyond the sexdate part of it. This is nice because there are no surprises and a trust-factor which one does not have when meeting a commercial-boy for the first time. What has come to a big joke, are the number of false profile pictures use on the gay social networks in Pattaya (Gay Romeo, Grinder, Hornet... you name it). What a bunch of liars. It is not an unknown if you line up to meet someone from one of these websites the young man will be looking for money. You do not need to ask- you just assume. Some will ask by the second message, HOW MUCH YOU GIVE ME? or go by the title MASSAGE BOY or mention it before they come to visit. But many of the Thais will use their photo from five or ten years ago when they were better looking and took care of themselves or more buffed. The money boys in Pattaya on line think most of the farangs are looking for the 18-22 year olds so they will put down their age as a 21 year old and show a photo of themselves that makes them look age 14. Since I desire the opposite candy, (I prefer a masculine Asian, age 30-45yr, that is more mature and not acting like a sissy boy) the hunting on line can be a real challenge. (Bangkok is a bit different.) Or.. when you look at the first photo on Gay Romeo or Hornet, it will be a photo from ten years ago....you scroll down and maybe (hopefully) will be the newest photo of the Thai. True, in Western countries we may lie about our age 3-5 years...and of course put the best recent photo of ourselves on our profiles, but so many of the Thais posting their photos or information on these gay social websites (which in Thailand should be called, RENT A DATE, have the balls to give out false info then show up in your hotel or condo lobby looking totally different. Now I have the nerve to give the guy 150 baht and say, Sorry, you look totally different than what you posted on your profile. So with this false-advertising, that is why I have my regular playmates. I do not want to play games. Question: Thai men who are not commerical boys, but hold regular jobs. What websites do they go to to find someone? If they go on Planet Romeo or Hornet, everyone would assume he is a commercial boy.? So, if you are from the West and plan to meet a date from Gay Romeo, Hornet or another social network on internet, assume 90% of the info is false. (Yes, there are exceptions which I have discovered.)
