12is12 Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 Tee has an eye-catching red shirt grndr profile. He initiated communication with two great body-face pics, and later followed with a convincing dick. He offered 1000 instead of the 1500, which is a red flag. However, b4 we met I asked B about him (and others). He had met Tee, authenticated the pics, and said I'd enjoy him. We set a date; he didnt show up, or rspnd to my ??; and hours later surfaced with a lame excuse in lieu of an apology. Same thing happened the 2nd time; another red flag (ot two). When finally he showed up (NO english), he didnt look like Tee's pics, but rather shorter and darker. I thought maybe that was due to his day-lighted pics, and anyway - he was vetted by B..... However, 3 minutes into the session it was obvious he had no clue. I said "this isnt working" and told him politely to leave. He seemed neither disturbed nor surprised. I m angry at myself that I gave him 200 b. He had the temerity to ask more for taxi! It was only later while discussing this with B, we came up with a possible explanation that maybe Tee - no longer intrstd in his prfl - had subcontrated it. I've had my share of guys not looking at all like their purported fotos. Nvr had a such a case with fotos authenticated by a credible source. Anyway, be forewarned against prfls containing the fotos below. GWMinUS, TotallyOz and vinapu 3 Quote
macaroni21 Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 The first photo showing the red shirt says 623 km away. Was there a reason why you thought he was nearer? vinapu and PeterRS 2 Quote
12is12 Posted December 12, 2022 Author Posted December 12, 2022 I took the foto today, when preparing the post. At the time, it was 208 METERS. TotallyOz, floridarob, vinapu and 1 other 4 Quote
vinapu Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 subcontracting profile look as plausible explanation. In Cambodia lots of Grindr profiles have obviuosly non-owners pictures , I found few featuring photos of popular BL actors and even one featuring pcs of one of Moonlight most popular models. Some profiles have even disclaimer " profile photo not mine" . I don't treat those antics there as deceiving , rather I think boys want to be anonymous as much as they can, specially in smaller places like Siem Reap. Quote

I don't thing 1000 for short time in Pattaya is suspicious , specially on apps 1500 is rater upper range, Bangkok is another story floridarob and aussie_ 2 Quote
PeterRS Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 There have been quite a number of posts in the last couple of years or more about boys from the apps not looking like their photos. Suggestions have been made that a 'live' chat should be requested, even if it is only for a few seconds when the guy speaks little English. Apart from one occasion, I always asked to meet first outside my apartment, usually in a coffee shop close by. That worked well apart from one time when we met at Coffee Society (near the top of Silom - but it died some years ago) and it was obvious the guy was a good dozen years older than he claimed. I paid for his coffee, we had a small chat and I left alone. It was less the fact that he was much older than he stated and much more than he did not look remotely cute!! 👎 gytis123, Mavica and GWMinUS 2 1 Quote
vinapu Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 meeting outside is good idea and we need to keep in mind that fact boy doesn't even look remotely as one in his profile in apps doesn't mean he looks bad or will perform badly. Never happened to me with my very limited apps experience but I know at least 2 of our members who landed good fun that way taking chance and agrreing to takje guy who did not look as in his profile. It may be other way around too , Besty my Grindr masseur looked much better in flesh than in his profile picture Mavica 1 Quote
12is12 Posted December 13, 2022 Author Posted December 13, 2022 Vinapu, this is not the case of legit use of others/famous fotos, with or without disclaimers. It's a case of using a PROFILE and fotos of one known provider by another guy. Quote

MarcSingap Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 You should never forget that when you take a boy from Gindr, it is like taking an unknown boy directly from the street... some on Yaba or other drugs. Personnaly it is a no no for me, and of course never in my own room Taking a boy from a gogo bar or a massage shop is much better, as they are controlled by manager and you can go meet mamasan in case of any problem. gytis123, TMax, PeterRS and 1 other 4 Quote

Colouring age , height or weight is not the same lie category as using somebody else's profile although at end of day what counts is whoever shows at our door. Lie may turn immaterial if we like whom we see Quote

While you are correct , at least in Thailand there seem very few of this kind of problems with apps boys reported. Indeed there are some members here who switched to apps entirely and seem to be happy with an idea. I'm in your camp though and prefer to see whom I hire even if it cost more, I like that smile. My apps experience is very limited and never dealt with fake profile but in two cases I recall I'd not hire guy who showed at door if I saw him in flesh before hand, both too fem. But also had case of guy who turned out looking much better than his picture. During pandemic when bars were closed apps were life saver for working boys. Mavica 1 Quote

To be honest i also hired some massage boys from Gindr but after being able to check there were also working from massage shop or a friend from a shop could confirm the boy was ok. I had a funny experience with a massage boy coming from a massage shop in Bangkok last November. Once in my room, he couldn't take my cock more than 10 min "too big too big" and because "you fu.... tooo strong"... Then he shared my id on Gindr with other working boys more used to bottom for strong farangs... I had then quite a good fun having them very curious and excited to try the "strong cock", contacting me on Gindr as "my friend told me you need a very good bottom. I am much better than him, can we meet". I hope none of them took pics... Mavica, khaolakguy, gytis123 and 4 others 3 3 1 Quote

I have taken hundreds of boys from online, and dozens from the street, and never had a problem. Similar for a friend, numbers even higher, let's say 1000 boys without a problem. In best case the boy knocks on my door and this is the first time I meet him in real. There are disappointments (does not look as good as I thought), but the saving of time compared to meeting outside more than compensates. When I'm not sure the boy in picture is the one I'm going to meet, I ask for more pictures or even better video chat. That has saved me a lot of disappointment (i.e. wast of time and money), and could have saved even more disappointment if I had been more strict. TMax, GWMinUS, Boy69 and 5 others 7 1 Quote

Olddaddy Posted December 22, 2022 Posted December 22, 2022 I remember this moneyboy back in July , your right it wasn't him. I had a guy turn up similar looks , but more girlish , though he was very polite .but just I didn't enjoy it Quote

But fact that boy doesn't look like in the picture it not necessary bad, what we get may be even better than what was advertised. There's hunky guy at Moonlight I offed several times both ST and LT and I would never do that based on his photos. I was lucky enough to be introduced to him by one of our members so I saw him in flesh before I saw his pics. Quote
