Is Montreal the big gay destination in Canada?

Visiting Vancouver for several days (maybe a week at most). Trying to hear your recommendations.

What have you done in instances when the provider who showed up looked different than in photos or videos? Let's say he was an 8/10 in the photos, but was just a 6/10 in person (which is still doable but definitely a couple of points lower than you expected). EDIT: I'm asking to those who actually experienced this scenario or similar. (Not asking those who have yet to be in this situation.)

You snooze you lose,

Diddy Sued for Sexual Assault By a Former Male Employee WWW.TMZ.COM 2/27 -- 8:10 AM PT -- Stevie J tells TMZ ... "These allegations are false and my lawyer will be handling this going forward." 50 cent was right all along about his documentary: 50 Cent's Diddy Documentary Proceeds To Benefit Sexual Assault Victims WWW.TMZ.COM 50 Cent is getting ready to roll out a documentary on Diddy and his recent drama, but the money made from the project is slated to benefit a good cause.

...replace Uber or rideshare with? I understand that using rideshare/Uber to transport the provider can be used to decrease flakiness from either parties, and it can be used to replace any pre-meeting deposit. Then, the client can just pay cash in person to prevent any audit trail. However, doesn't rideshare/Uber also leave an audit trail? What would be the best way to replace it? I guess, this question is more applicable to countries with stricter laws.

What time of the year is it good to visit BCN? EDIT: both to experience the city and to experience Thermas?

Nice. How would you describe the guys there when it comes to looks (eg, age, physical appearance, etc.)?

Can't he blur out or remove any identifiable personal information and post it?

Post screenshots of the conversation please?

Thanks! Something for me to be in Dallas for next month!

I didn't. I was too far from the Gayborhood, so didn't venture out (other than Grindr hookups with mostly foreigners visiting the country) and had nothing to report.

What's the "Texas Bear Roundup (TBRU)"? Is it like White Party in Palm Springs?

Currently visiting Dallas, and decided to go to Club Dallas last night. I had favorable experiences in Club San Diego the few times I went there, so I thought Club Dallas would be the same—I actually thought that both clubs are of the same franchise because of the names, but it seems they're not since Club SD's amenities and staff are much better (but I could be wrong and they might be a franchise, so someone correctly). Anyway, I went there on Saturday night (last night), which means in bathhouse lingo that there'd be plenty of guys. I was there from 10PM (Saturday) until 12:30AM (Sunday). For the wet areas, it had the basic amenities: hot tub, dry sauna, steam room, and an outdoor swimming pool. The swimming pool seems to be something unique (Club SD didn't have it), but in Dallas, outdoor swimming pool is a staple of every apartment complex, so I guess it's par for the course. The steam room in Club Dallas is better lit compared to the other bathhouses I've been to, and you can see people's faces and there's not much fogginess (I think this is a disadvantage because steam rooms are supposed to be really foggy so can't see people at all). The dry sauna is much darker than other ones I've been to. The other common areas (eg, cinema, sex swing, etc.) are pretty standard and nothing too exciting, and I still like Club SD's more (heck I even like 24 Kaikan's compared to Club Dallas's). The staff was subpar. The lines forming were getting long both checking in and checking out, and the people at the counter were taking forever to assist each person. They seemed to have more than enough staff members at the counter last night, but I could tell they didn't want to be there (I guess, I would not want to work there too but at least Club SD it took less than one minute to check in/out a customer). As for the type of guys there, I was disappointed. I thought on a Saturday night, I would see a good spectrum of guys, but that was not the case. You got guys that look like the stereotypical bathhouse club member, but there was definitely a lack of young guys and muscled guys—these groups are of course always underrepresented in bathhouses, but there should be some representation on a Saturday night for a major city like DFW. I saw none last night. Each time I went to Club San Diego, I've been able to play with guys in their early 20's and muscled guys. Now, I'm not sure if there was an event going on in DFW last night that prevented guys from going to bathhouses, or maybe going there from 10PM to 12:30AM was not ideal, but the selection of guys were subpar. I did manage to see a doable guy in his 30's with a twink body, but he quickly swatted my advancement. It also seemed that he was a first timer based on how he was acting. He left shortly without hookin up with anyone. I also left Club Dallas without hooking up with anyone there, but did so because I got a Grindr message from someone hosting 8 minutes away by car.

The profile is gone now, today at least.

Who's the most memorable bottom you've encountered (regardless if it was an escort encounter or not), and what made the encounter memorable for you?

Thanks for sharing. Wish I saw this while I was still in the Philippines. I got a question: How would you describe the guys there?

Update: As my previous post says, I was fortunate enough to be getting Grindr hookups, which prevented me from exploring bathhouses mostly. However, I was determined to explore the LGBTQ culture in Tokyo—specifically 24 Kaikan because everyone online has been saying it's the gay batthouse to check out. Disclaimer: I went there on a weeknight, which is not the busiest time of the week, so this post is limited to that experience. To say the least, the entire place didn't have too many people. Probably there were about 12 to 24 guys there during my stay. So where do I start?—I guess, we start at the 2nd floor where the entrance is (1st floor is parking for the building). Interestingly enough, you'll have to use 2 lockers. The first locker (which will cost you 10 Yen coin) is for you to store your shoes since it's a culture in Japan (and most asian countries) to remove your shoes. After stowing the shoes away, you go to the front desk to pay and be given a bag with a robe and towels along with a key for your actual locker. It cost 3900 Yen for me because I went after 9PM (It's 3300 Yen if before 9PM). First thing I explored was the 3rd floor, which I will call the wet section (eg, hot tubs, steam room, sauna, shower room, etc.). The 2 dry saunas there have really good heat compared to the US ones I've gone to (specifically Club San Diego since I went there not too long ago). There were about 3 hot tubs—which I did not dip myself into. There was also a steam room—I did not stay too long because it was really hard to see, plus with it being a weeknight, no one was pretty much there. There was also a some kind of dungeon room that had BDSM leather swing/seat that bottom could be on (I'm sure you've seen this type of apparatus in other sex clubs). No one was using it of course because there weren't many people. The only places on this floor that were being used were hot tubs, dry saunas, and the shower/rinsing area that had seats and a vanity mirror (weird, I know). The 4th floor was the—for a lack of a better term—sleeping areas. Most guys here were wearing the blue robes that were given at check-in. This is something not comparable to the USA bathhouses because it's literally sleeping areas. There were 2 big rooms (common areas) that had about 4 bunk beds and one big low-profile japanese bed (which is basically huge futon that is on the floor) that could fit about a dozen people. These low-profile japanese beds is where the action is happening because it allowed for guys to be near each other. Some of the guys were feigning sleeping, which I think was cue to invite other guys to give them blowjobs or be touched (If I were compare this to the USA version, it's like going to the bathhouse and you see a guy with a mask, face down, ass up in the common area basically inviting other guys). There was also a 3rd big room that only had the big lowprofile beds only (ie, no bunk beds), and in it were japanese porn being played—yes, the genital were blurred/pixelated staying true to the classic Japanese porn. The 5th and 6th floors were mainly for private rooms. And the 7th floor, which was the rooftop, was closed because it was raining outside that night. As for the type of guys that were there that night, I'd say about 70% to 80% were Japanese, while the rest were foreigners like blacks, indians, and east Asians that were non-Japanese. And as always, bathhouses are accessible for any guys who could pay to get in, and this one was like that. One thing that I noticed that most guys looked younger than the ones in the USA bathhouses (heck, I didn't even see anyone with grey hair); however, since they're asians, it was hard to gauge their actual age. Only one guy I found attractive because he was fit, but unfortunately, he was also a top per his Grindr profile. I didn't partake to any of the festivities because I wasn't particularly horny (and the guy I found attractive was also a top), but like I said, my main goal was to check out 24 Kaikan which is like an emblem of the LGBTQ culture in Shinjuku—I guess part of me was trying to see the gay culture in Japan. EDIT: pardon any typo. no grammar check or anything here.

Don't forget to tip the pizza guy!

So no tip in cases where you get a happy ending but you didn't find the masseur attractive?

That's an awesome example! I guess you ain't tipping your doctors and nurses for their job well done in saving your life because having a good massage is more important than saving your life.

That is true that they may not be screening for hot clients. But people will usually at least comb their hair before taking a video call or when they send pics it's their best looking pics, so it's hard to judge hygiene based on looks. Odor is the best indicator if poor hygiene, which is not transmitted on a video call or pics.

Providers reject clients because of looks when they see them in person?! That sounds like they're looking for a Grindr match whilst getting paid, and not really escorting. I guess people nowadays just want to have their cake and eat it too.

I guess, there are different philosophies to go by, and each person/client has to operate on what they're comfortable with. I totally understand clients who would want to ensure proper service, so they tip the masseur. On the other hand, I can also understand that there are clients who expect a good massage irrespective of the tip as long as the asked rate was met. And should the masseur provide a mediocre massage due to lack of tips, these clients will be happy to take their business elsewhere. There's no right or wrong along as everything is done respectfully. They're just different philosophies.
