Members flguy Posted July 25, 2010 Members Posted July 25, 2010 I have never really looked at the rates for Flirt 4 Free, but it certainly isn't FREE. It appears that a private show could cost up to 120 credits PER MINUTE and 600 credits is $60. So it could all be gone in less than 5 minutes. 60 minutes divided by 5 is 12 segments times $60 equals $720 dollars per hour. Now I think there are some escorts who do overnights for that price, and you get them in person. If I am wrong about this would someone please enlighten me? Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 A lot of sites like that are rip offs. They are mostly meant for closteted dudes who don't have the balls to hire an escort or go to a gay bar. Quote

You figured it out by yourself. Using that site is not cheap! Many of the guys you see on the site do not know English. When you type something for them to read, those that do not know English ignore you until an administrator answers your question for them (while the administrator pretends to be the guy answering the question). If an administrator is not available at the time you pose your question, your question goes unanswered. After a while when you get no responses to your questions and ask if the guy is ignoring you or whether an administrator is monitoring his keyboard for him, you get "banned" from the guy's page. Between the outrageous $720.00 per hour charges together with the administrator answering for the guy, the site is a rip off - . Quote

Guest restless Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Do you have any authoritative source for your assertion you just posted? Your statement is inflammatory and I doubt that it is true. - I tried sites like that before I woke up and realized there's no substitute for the real thing. Quote
caeron Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I didn't think it was quite that expensive, but it certainly isn't cheap, and hiring, even in places like NYC, is cheaper. I never understood the appeal, but some here have posted about enjoying the sites and finding guys they later hooked up with. My guess is they're the ones who have a LOT more money than I do... Quote

Yeah, there was some definite money spent. Never did "find" a guy on those sites. Like I said - nothing beats the real thing. Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted July 25, 2010 Members Posted July 25, 2010 They are mostly meant for closteted dudes who don't have the balls to hire an escort or go to a gay bar. ... or dudes that don't live in NYC, Miami, Paris or even Huntsville AL. There is a great big world out there with horny frustrated guys that do not have access to the live thing or to a gay bar. Their hormones still run rampant. People of different circumstances have different reasons for visiting such sites. Whatever their reason it seems a boon to many, if an expensive boon. And I'm sure farm animals are appreciative as well. Quote
Guest tomcal Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 "...And I'm sure farm animals are appreciative as well. >> TY LMAO! Its really interesting this question came up today, as I just looked at flirt4free for the first time yesterday and trying to figure out why anyone would spend money on it! but I will say, I have a friend who I met in Rio some years ago and he recently told me he hooked up with a couple of the flirt4free guys! I asked him how? He said a number of the guys on there are from Columbia/Venz/Panama, he speaks Spanish fluently and and twice he started talking to guys who he later met up with when he went there on trips, the latest being last month, and he said it' definitely cheaper to hire them in person than do flirt4free!

TotallyOz Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Just because many of us have access to hot guys all the time doesn't mean the rest of the world does. The appeal? What is the appeal of an escort? What is the appeal of sex? It is pretty basic IMHO. I have been places where I could not get guys and I used Flirt for Free and had a great time. The guys are all sexy and all the ones I've spoke to have spoken good English. That said, I have also met many of the guys from the site. When you get to know them and they you, many of them are willing to meet up. I have do so on more than one occasion and I made a really good friend that way. I hate it when anyone bitches about someone's preference whether it be bareback, transsexuals, blowjobs, leather, whips, water-sports, cum diving, feltching, Asians, blacks, feminine, butch, leather, bisexuality, 3ways, S and M, etc. If someone wants to chat with a guy on the Internet and they enjoy it who the fuck is that hurting? Two consenting adults. I hope someone doesn't say well it is OK to have sex at a bathhouse but it isn't with a hooker. To each his own! Quote
Members lookin Posted July 25, 2010 Members Posted July 25, 2010 A post from the vaults. It seems HooBoy found his boyfriend Foxy on Flirt4Free. Quote

Guest FourAces Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Do you have any authoritative source for your assertion you just posted? Your statement is inflammatory and I doubt that it is true. - I doubt he does. Just because a site is an upsell does not mean its a rip off. The boys on F4F are mostly quite beautiful. They are eager to please otherwise they lose much business. The company behind F4F is a well respected adult entertainment firm. If you have a problem with a show they will always add credits back to your account. I have used F4F from time to time and love it. Especially at 5am when I return from a session and in need of a different type of ummm session I agree there is no replacement for the real thing but that doesn't mean sites like F4F or the less expensive Camera Boys cannot be fun too. Plus if you are a first time user to F4F you can help support this site by clicking on the banner at the top of the page. Quote
Members marcanthony Posted July 25, 2010 Members Posted July 25, 2010 I agree with Oz, Aces, TY, et al. It's true that F4F is very expensive and not nearly as good as the real thing, but it's also omnipresent and easily available for anyone anywhere in world so long as you have online access. That's quite a service. You can also base your involvement on your available resources, and the boys do "Flirt for Free." so if you have little money, you can enjoy just looking at a pretty face and having some interaction, albeit quite surrogate. Like Oz mentioned, I also remember once getting ready for a trip to St. Petersburg and meeting an unbelievably gorgeous boy on F4F who lived there, and we started an online friendship. After all was said and done, he ended up being my guide in St. Petersburg, and besides being a wonderful ambassador of the city for me, he kept me company at night as well... and believe me, I couldn't have been happier. So is there money better spent than F4F... sure. Is there money worse spent? definitely there too. It is what you make of it, really. My 2 cents Quote
