Well, you need to have a moral compass to feel guilt.

Mmmmm... I see someone had to deal with his penis breath.

It is true that the sentiment against tourists rising local rent prices is not only against Americans. @Vegas_Millennial mentions NYC, but also San Francisco, LA and Honolulu have legislated to limit short rents, as a response to their increasing unpopularity. In European cities the situation is similar, and the animosity is not addressed against US visitors but against visitors in general. That said, there is an unquestionable rise in anti-American sentiments around the world as a reaction to the current administration policies in the US, as measured by multiple polls. However, I agree that you should not expect any uncomfortable situations if you are kind, empathic, and avoid discussing politics. The way how this anti-American feeling expresses the most is not by people being unkind or violent towards US citizens visiting other countries, but rather by foreigners avoiding to travel to the US. Anyone can make a quick google search and find that the incoming tourism has significantly dropped to the US, specially from Canada and Europe. So, Americans should not be afraid of visiting other countries; it is the people from other countries who are increasingly afraid or not interested in visiting the US.

White Americans are not popular right now in many places around the globe, but if you are kind and far from stereotypes, I am sure you will not have any bad experiences.

You do not need to stay away. You need to be smart and act carefully, just like in all other platforms and "real" places. The world is full of scammers.

@redbottle, I am sorry you went through this situation. I have not read thoroughly the thread, so I apologize if I am repeating what other posters said, but if you are someone who has something to lose you should never meet for the first time an online hookup, from any platform, at your place. As I also like very young men, and I used to live in DC when I was using Grindr, I would always set a first date at a known bar, where I knew that they cared about their liquor license and therefore would ask for ID to every single customer. This safety measure is not infalible of course, but it would significantly reduce the risk of ending in an underage situation. I do not know if someone else shared that advice. I do know many shared this one, and I will repeat it again: YOU SHOULD NEVER PAY IN ADVANCE to someone you never met before. The few times I sent a deposit or paid in advance was to a regular, someone I knew and trusted. Good luck in future hook ups. If you are not a hopeless dummy, you are wiser now.

I recommend you to join the local discussion forum. WARNING: it is only Spanish. I would check the information for you, but I have been banned. I remember several threads addressing your inquire.

Rather than trying to find one explanation for all the providers who self labeled as straight, do you not think that all of the narratives are possible? Some may be actually straight, some may not be straight at all but just marketing, some may be anything in between, above and below. Instead of arguing, and trying to debate the explanations we do not prefer, why we do not just have fun brainstorming imagining all the possible scenarios?

I bet you there are many definitions. To me, it is a role play situation where the participants interact as though there were an affectionate bond between them. Even when we know that not all relationships are like that, you would expect sweetness, engagement, and connection, without the need to become romantic. "Romantic" would be an appropriate bonus that you can ask for. As contrast, think of a worshipping scenario, or a G4P scene where the "straight" is disengaged and not into you while you are sucking his dick.

I think this is better tan the first attempt.

I have become more selective over time. When I was younger I was experimenting and trying many things that I came to learn I do not really like. Plus, I used to have a limitless stamina, so every sex was good sex because I was always able to have more. Nowadays, my stamina is limited and I treasure the fun time, I would not invest my money and/or time on an experience I am not reasonably confident I would enjoy.

I did. Once I installed it on my phone, and found a lot of fun stuff. But after a few days I deleted the app. Too much of my time is sucked by IG, stupid video games, and YouTube, I did not want to add a new addiction.

Same can be applied to you and your friends in agreement with you. You project your prejudices in an exercise of wishful bigot thinking without any prove. Behind the article author's there is actual research that seems to proof you wrong. Indeed, we should ask for more sources about that research, but what are your sources to back your own explanation?

Thank you, @Lucky! Super interesting! Plus, I am glad the article directly addresses and discredits one of the easy explanations that some posters shared. The hypothesis towards the closing would explain not only the raise in anti gay feelings but also in racist and misogynistic ones, but fails to explain why the raise in anti gay bias is the sharpest.

I think this kind of conversation belongs to the other thread, but I fully agree with your statement. The challenge here is that this violent crime belongs to a grey zone where it can be seen as political violence. I know many will jump to say it is just a criminal act, but they would fail to get in the shoes of many who see this issue differently. My stand is that even if it is political violence, political violence is not justifiable in our current circumstances. The challenge here is to be aware of our own political biases and avoid double standards. I am not addressing this comment to anyone in particular, but to everyone and especially to myself.

+1 These few words eloquently describe my feelings. And I am talking about my own guilt management.
