     But Grindr is for more NSA hookups and somewhat anonymous seekers of sex -  just get Scruff - people are generally friendlier and more personable there.

     

    Interesting that you said that ... because it is what I've come to think. Not that there are necessarily fewer bots and scammers on Scruff, but even the profile format there encourages users to share more information about who they are, what they're into (not just sexually) and what they are looking for. Grindr has much more of the "wham bang, thank you " feel about it to me.

    i'm indian living in the west - 2 main reasons for lack of indian escorts - extremely strong family links and tight-knit social circle so it would be devastating if word ever got out and bring shame to the entire family who would be shunned by everyone and second reason very few of us are hot - we're lean untill our mid 20s then suddenly we turn to flab. also homosexuality is reviled in india and people are forced into marriage or kicked out and if word gets out are frequently killed - so there's a lot of fear among the immigrants as well

    btw i loved that book about the mumbai slum - the only correction is that "slum" is india's middle class - true slums are much worse

    Conservative culture/family, etc. makes (unfortunately) very good sense. I've been dating a young gentleman (not Indian or other south asian, but from a very conservative culture) and the relationship is likely to tail off eventually, because he sees no way to come out to his family and close family friends, so building a fullsome relationship is difficult. And it does seem to me - given a substantial amount of history in the original cultures of south, east, and southeast Asia - that the extreme rejection of homosexuality was powerfully reinforced - if not created - under the Raj, while the Brits were exploiting and screwing up the cultures and economies of their entire empire, from the Middle East across Asia.

    My opinion on looks, however, differs from yours, scorpio. I find a GREAT MANY South Asian men to be  devastatingly handsome, whether they are here in the U.S., In india, or in South Africa, Singapore, or elsewhere. Personally, I like the lean look.

  3. Mexico City - one of my favorite cities on the planet - is huge, complex, and has some extraordinary museums superb restaurants, and many unique neighborhoods. Zona Rosa is the traditional "gay" area; lots of bars and nightlife. La Condessa is more upscale urban residential; lovely streets, lots of excellent restaurants, nice AirBnB's. I have loved every minute of every one of my many visits there.

    As far as covid goes, my Mexican friends tell me that the place is still a disaster. As much as I love it, I ain't going till I hear differently. Hell, some neighborhoods don't have running water on a good day, so something as simple as handwashing becomes an issue for residents.

  4. I last saw him a couple of years ago, and he still looked as good as in these pics! He plays well with others, also, although I haven't done that with him in a while. BHot, very nice guy. If he came to my town I'd hire him again in a flash.

  5. Does anyone know of a good English language source for up to date Colombian news?

    My best source? My Colombian BF. ;)

    Seriously though, if you don't know Spanish, look around for news from strongly bi-lingual countries like Costa Rica. As hesitant as I am to say it, FaceBook can help. Costa Rican journalist Glenda Umaña does a good job, and a click auto-translates her postings on FB can into passable English. (https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=Glenda%20Umaña).

    One recent post of hers, translated:

    My niece asks me... what's going on in Colombia?

    It's hard to report clearly.

    We do know that at least 19 families are mourning because one of their own has died, during protests and clashes that have left us open from the pain of hearing and clearly seeing shots and attacks.

    What began with the fury of the population over the government's tax-raising initiative has been maintained for days despite the resignation of the Minister of Finance and the announcement to backtrack tax reform.

    The United Nations denounces violations of human rights by the armed forces.

    In the middle of the pandemic and increasing contagion, the different groups are agglomerating. Some desperately imploring ceasefire from this torment that has had as the main epicenter, the city of Cali.

    While at the same time spreading false news that confuse the population... one wonders from a sociological point of view how it has come to this point and what impact mental health, lockdown, unemployment, economic pressures can have Covid-19 provoked that has all changed our lives.

    We join in prayer for the return to peace in beloved Colombia, for the 800 injured, for those who have passed away...

  6. I was hoping to travel to Medellin in August. Are there any updates?

    The situation continues to deteriorate. The issue is not "just" covid" - which is running rampant, but also social unrest triggered by regressive tax policies recently enacted by the government. Heavy on middle- and working- class, very light on the very wealthy. (Sound familiar?) Stay tuned ... and for now ... stay away - if a pleasure trip is what you're planning. Our English-language news sources aren't covering this situation well at all.

  7. saw him today. massage was ok as a serious massage (though it was WONDERFULLY sensual). Extras were phenomenal. Hot, very good-looking, well-built, horny guy. will repeat. If any of those reviews were fake (and I'm not saying they were), they are still accurate! I'm getting hard just thinking about this stud. And he's a very nice fguy to boot.

  8. Latest reports of major civil unrest in several cities, in the middle of the pandemic. Caseloads out of control, and lockdowns everytwhere. In brief: Chaos. I wouldn't recommend heading there right now ... as much as I would love to visit there myself!!!
