GayRomeo vs the other Sites

[TotallyOz]

A friend told me to play on GayRomeo and I did. In about 10 minutes, I had 5 messages from guys wanting to hook up. Is this the most popular of the gay hook up sites for guys in Thailand? Or, are there others that are better?

are there others that are better?

There are others, but Gay Romeo, I think, is the best of them. As you said, you almost immediately had guys contact you wanting to hook up. That's the whole point. You can get immediate responses on Gay Romeo. Other than pure chat rooms, I no of no other sites on which that can happen, at least not to the degree it can happen on Gay Romeo.

 

On most other sites you either have to try to contact via Email or pay for a membership (try finding a Thai boy who is going to pay for a membership), or something like that.

 

You might want to have a look at:

But I don't think either of them come even close to measuring up to Gay Romeo. Also, a lot more boys know about and participate on Gay Romeo than on most of the others.

Gayromeo IS a great site for hooking up ... just be aware that certainly in the Pattaya members there are a fair proportion of money boys, even if they don't admit it upfront. It does, as one unhappy go go bar owner opined, 'cut out the middle man' and is a contributory factor to the struggling bar sector.

I am in Gayromeo/Pattaya-Chonburi now and there are 152 membes signed in there. Same as the bars - be very aware of the underage, scammers, thieves, etc. There is one guy who has 3 screen names and a thread has been started by someone he scammed and many people have signed into this guys guestbook about what he has stolen from them and now guys are adding other screen names and pics of Thai guys who are underage or have taken to nefarious means to make a living off of naive players. In many ways the bars are safer as there is a middle man and someplace to return to if things go awry. Finding connections on gayromeo is not a whole lot different than cruising the streets - more convenient, sure - just engage your brain and use common sense before hooking up.

I mentioned the gayromeo screen name of a Thai guy I saw at the beach to a farang friend of mine who lives on Gayromeo. He warned me in no uncertain terms to stay away from this guy as he is bad news. He told me he was underage. I told him that I saw him at least 2 years ago dancing in a Sunee bar. He told me this guy is now 17 yrs old and works for the police. He told me that once you invite him over to your place the shake down with the police begins. There is another group of boys on gayromeo, all underage, that work out of an internet cafe on Soi Yensabai. A few of them are 15 yrs old - but all are underage. After making a connection with a afarng they come back and extort money and threaten to call the police if they are not paid. So again, keep your eyed wide open, your valuables locked up and use precaution and common sense. Gayromeo is just way too easy to make an illicit connection.

I can see the advantage of Gayromeo for those long term Pattaya residents who are on a tight budget & have the time to explore a few dead ends.

However, for the tourists I think it's money well spent to visit the gogo bars. You see exactly what you are getting in underwear & there's nowhere else in the world with this kind of bar scene. So make the most of it.

 

Not to mention all the warnings about Gayromeo jailbait above.

In all honesty I fail to see the problem. In a bar you would check a boy's ID card before taking him off, wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you do the same thing when you meet a boy from Gay Romeo?

 

I never have a Gay Romeo boy come to my place at first. I meet him in some sort of neutral territory. If there is the slightest doubt about his age, I'll check his ID card.

 

Also, in all honesty, I have never had a problem with any boy I met via Gay Romeo. I've never had one steal. I've never had one lie to me about his age. The only kind of problem I've ever encountered is when a boy who sounded very exciting when we chatted turned out to be a dud.

 

Some will try to tell you they are not interested in money. The usual reason they give is they are looking for a boyfriend. It has been my experience that the more they insist they are not money boys, the more likely they are to be money boys. I don't mind that if they are honest about it up front.

 

Some of the best boys I have ever met came from Gay Romeo. I agree that caution is certainly the smart thing to do, but I don't see a reason to feel that you need to be so overly cautious that the caution now turns to fear.

 

Read the guestbooks. Many people write their honest opinions of the boys they've met in those guestbooks. If someone has written something negative about the boy, there are plenty of others to choose from.

 

I love Gay Romeo. I'd much rather meet a boy via Gay Romeo than taking a boy off from a bar.

Please avoid the boy in Gay Romeo with nickname madonna , even in his guestbook are warnings ,but he is too stupid to delete them. He deletes his profile and makes another one. So be carefull about him .

 

 

The Internet Cafe mentioned in Soi Yensabai , is just opposite the German restaurant Po Pot .

 

Furthermore I have a lot of fun with Gay Romeo , based in Amsterdam , and I dont care to contact moneyboys.

 

I am in my late fifties , not bald but grey , little belly , so why should I not pay for fun ?

 

I must always grin when I see profiles of men in their sixties or even older ,and not wanting to pay for a boy . Please go back to your own country , and try it there !!

That is the very point of being here for most. I cannot remember the last time I paid for sex outright. Of course, we all pay in one way or another. And, by the way, I NEVER paid for sex in the US, although I am in my 60's big bellied and have gray hair.

[Gaybutton]

I NEVER paid for sex in the US

Neither did I. Of course I also never got any. But I did send flowers to my hands every so often . . .

I agree wholeheartedly with GayButton.

 

I was made aware of GayRomeo from a local friend when I was visiting Asia. OMG!!!! It was like the REAL candy store was suddenly online. I have met the best guys on there and only one (1) turned out to be a money boy who initially stated he was not.

 

I have never had a problem with any of the people I have met on GR, for the exception of two guys who were not completely honest with their CURRENT description. I have made a few good friendships with guys I have met on GR and whom were not into the bar scene and just wanted to meet gay guys discreetly. I was pleasantly surprised by the site.

 

I have mentioned the site to my friends that came over to visit me in Pattaya and they had extreme success in meeting very nice guys without drama.

 

As with anything, you must be cautious and used that 6th sense to avoid unnecessary drama.

 

One warning, be honest about what you are looking for and about your description if you are looking for more than just a "roll in the hay". Just like you may be disappointed by inaccurate photos and stats, so will the other guy.

 

Oh yeah GayButton, I never really noticed the Guestbook part of the profiles until you brought this to my attention. Seems to be some interesting entries there.

 

Although GR is a big hit in Asia, it is not as active in USA. My profile is mostly inactive until the weeks preceding my trip to Thailand or other countries outside of America. Also had similar success with GR in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and even Egypt.

I got enough sex in US that I didn't have to resort to sending my hand flowers. LOL But, certainly it wasn't as readily available as here.

The way I heard it is you kept pouring your drinks over your hand....so as to get your date drunk...

Yes, that's true. It was the only way I could get any . . .

1 If the law enforcement employed a money boy in a scam sting operation, how do you know he hasn't been supplied with a very good fake ID?

 

2 Almost all of us can get "free" sex. A fat balding 50 year old would probably manage to hook up with a similar type quite regularly, or even someone quite a few years younger on occasions. However, if he want to be picky & not just shag someone in the 18~25 year range, but choose a very attractive example, then he normally pays.

In Thailand, that is money well spent.

[Guest lvdkeyes]

Z909, That is an assumption on your part. Not all the handsome sexy young guys are just looking for money. I used to see a guy on and off who was the winner of a sexy many contest in a BKK bar and he never wanted a single baht from me.

[Bob]

Z909's "assumption" is the general rule. While there are always exceptions to probably any rule, let's face it: young people by and large have no desire to hook up with much older people. But,of course, money does make it happen more often than it would occur naturally.
