    He's had his fair share of legal issues the last couple of years.  2019 he faced charges related to threatening to murder his wife in front of 3 of his kids (he has 7 children). He was charged with armed criminal action, domestic assault, kidnapping and unlawful use of a weapon.  All of that could have resulted in 25+ years in prison.   He rejected a plea deal, went to trial and found not guilty on all counts.  Early 2020 he was arrested and faced being charged with rape, three counts of statutory rape and two counts of statutory sodomy.  Police say he abused a 10 year old girl over many years.  

    what timothy has 7 kids and a wife? insane

    Adding a note to future potentials about this guy.  I met up with him in September 2021.  The pictures are from a better day, but at least he showed up on-time.  Spent about 45 minutes, which was more than enough and 15 minutes of that was just talking, then amicably parted ways.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened, but I think he could tell I was underwhelmed.  I went to leave a review a few days later -- it would been 3 stars, but found he'd blocked me, so I couldn't leave anything.  He hasn't had any reviews in about 9 months at this point, despite being logged in recently on several occasions, so that's likely his MO (block people) to keep the 40+ mostly good reviews he had gotten.

    There's also no written comments when going through VPN, which is unusual when you get to 48 reviews.  Can providers delete bad reviews?  Scratch that.  I needed to restart another browser session after changing to VPN to see the comments.  There are some written ones, surprisingly mostly positive though several from the same few people, but still no explanation for the 9 month review drought

     

    this was very similar to my experience.   he was very nice but those pictures are really outdated   i met him pre COVID

    I totally understand: You had a bad experience and it's colored the way you feel.

    You just got picked in the shit lottery...  It happens and I'm sorry it did to you.

    Something made you look or sound like a target.  Pinpoint, if you can, what that was and attempt to remedy it.  Mexico is a fantastic place, but asserting your understanding of the language and culture is necessary (imo) to being comfortable.

    I still say get out there and keep exploring.

     

    If you read my post I specifically state I don’t stay at a resort.  It has not soured my opinion about PV.   And I rent a house with friends when I go.  I have actually never stayed in a resort in PV but I know a lot of people that do out of concern for safety

    This is not the case.  PV is no more or less 'dangerous' than Manhattan or Chicago.

    Use common sense, but don't be a stereotypical American tourist.  If you're visiting MX, get out of the resort and actually see, talk with and mingle amongst local Mexicans.

    You might learn something.  Perhaps even change your own perceptions.

    perhaps reading the second part will make you less ignorant of what i am speaking of

    May I ask where you are getting your information? Unless this has personally happened to you or a loved one then this is absolutely fear mongering. I have been to PV twice in the last year and have a friend who lives near Zona Romantica. I walked alone day and night and had zero issue and always felt safe. I have encountered police and have had no confrontation or hostility. I agree with the other person who stated that they felt safer walking alone in PV than they do in certain American cities. As others have said here, I am not saying things like this never happen (just as shootings, theft, crime and corruption also happen in American cities) but insinuating that it is the norm is completely inaccurate.

    Yes personal experience.  Pre-COVID, we were walking from one bar to another  when we were  “Arrested” by local police, who threatened jail and taking passports away unless we did business with them.  By business they meant a bribe.   Once I was able to figure that out, I was able to negotiate.   But I sort of speak Spanish, better when immersed into it, and I was able to get us out of it for a few hundred US bucks. 

    should we have said no to doing business?  Maybe, but when you have had a bit to drink and you are gay last thing you want to do is roll the dice in ANY foreign country   At least I don’t 

    we had been warned a couole times from locals not to walk from bar to bar at night for this very reason and we ignored it.  I think when the locals are warning its not fear mongering.  I felt perfectly safe during the day or at night in ride shares   

    I agree there are places in the US far scarier and far more corrupt.  But as a white male I have fairly decent chances of coming out unscathed dealing with police.  (I provide my skin color because it directly impacts how I am treated in the US and that privledge cannot be ignored during a discussion on this topic)

    in the us I do what I can to avoid places that may put me in danger.  The difference is I am able to guage this in the US much better, I speak the language fluently/without having to concentrate and I have resources to tap into etc.  

    going back to what I had originally posted, for some, they may feel safer staying in a resort.   by the way, When I go to PV we actually rent a house and don’t stay at a resort.  But I am now extremely careful at night not to put myself in that position. Sometimes only going to one place each evening.   To each his own.   If you feel safe walking at night, good for you   It just won’t be everybody’s experience

    Cumming.... Forget about escorts who do PNP getting it hard, sometimes even they showing up at all is a gamble. 

     

    What is your problem that you are constantly picking fights with people that say something contrary to your viewpoint.   Can’t you just once not take over the thread and let other people speak without having you reply with your judgement on their post?  My god you don’t  have to comment on every single thread multiple times?  Sometimes saying nothing is the right thing to say. 
     

    strafe13 thank you for posting your experience that is what this board used to be for

    Resorts are places where Americans (and sometimes Japanese) can go abroad but not have to engage with the local culture. I’m heading to a resort in Scotland with an escort at the end of April. We are looking forward to the resort, to be sure. It’s gorgeous. But we’ve already committed to do things off-resort, including driving about. The resort planners wanted to book us for “tours” (read: activities) on-resort, but we’re not really interested in that. I told him I want to go to a local restaurant every. One of the best things about traveling is sampling local cuisine. This is where you have to be savvy with looking up reviews online.

    I was surprised how many folks who stay at this resort pay for tax or other ride services simply to avoid renting a car and driving on the opposite side of the road. That doesn’t bother me at all. And renting a car is much cheaper than ride services. Unless of course you’re going to spend the whole vacation on-resort.

    Resort vacationing can be a lot of fun, but you have to know how to plan if you want a taste of the local way of life. And even then, you’re still a tourist.

    sometimes it’s a safety issue though.  it’s dangerous to be in PV at night not at a resort.  you need to take cars hailed by employees or you may get “arrested” and forced to cough up money.
