I was recently there on a Wednesday night and there was a crowd of 40 dudes fooling around in the corner and they didn’t break it up. Very different from when I used to go there when I lived in NY 

Would you say this was similar to a bunch of guys in a dark room at a bathhouse?

Do you want action with the strippers, or with your fellow patrons?  I know a place that gets really WILD on Friday and Saturday nights.

Tell us here! Or should I PM you instead?

I'd take this to the Fetish forum, as that's exactly what this is.

yes, it's a fetish. How do I move this to that forum? Do we need a Moderator to do that?

A rather repulsive topic imo.

If one hires a 19-year-old escort instead, would that be more tasteful for you?

...do you ever have phases on Grindr where you pursue guys aged 18 to 23 who look like twinks and far from the muscular look? And you kind of enjoy the idea of corrupting them, so the less their experience the better? How's that been for you?

You’ll get banned, that’s inevitable! I wasn’t even advertising but my pictures probably implied that I was for hire (if I was posting the correct pictures of course 😏) and I’d get enquiries, and a few clients but someone must have complained because I got warned (which was simply an indication to me to be more careful / subtle) and then banned. If you solicit or buy on there you’ll end up banned. 

Actually  think that’s fair enough, it’s not meant for paid gigs or hiring and there’s plenty of better places to advertise for that. The quality of clients I had from Grindr was low (unreliable/flaky). You’ll probably find the quality of guys you hire is similarly low.

Grindr responds to reports?! That's news to me. I've reported several guys for being fake (because they're using pics of IG celebs) and they've never took them down.

would like to hear about this too!

Re-read, slowly, what I wrote.  I said what I WOULD do based on what I currently do with Grindr trade.

And yes, I would if I hired.  I'm 6'4", 220 and built like a fucking brick wall.  No one is going to beat me up...  Not easily, at least.

I'm sure guys who are smaller need to make concessions when this happens.  I'm just stating what I would personally do.

Everything is life is AYOR.

Just to be fair, the actual posted question was about "What have you done in instances...", which I even clarified by saying "I'm asking to those who actually experienced this scenario or similar. (Not asking those who have yet to be in this situation.) ". This is probably why @muscmtl was asking for proof.

I second San Gabriel Valley for Chinese food in the Los Angeles area.

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.)

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?

Compared to me...timid. At the bathhouse, most just like to watch or like to do one-on-one. I was mostly initiating 

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

Don't. Posting private conversations with an identifiable other person contravenes forum guidelines. 

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

Lucky you Howard, but I didn't get any response from him after he got the $.  I'm sure I won't be the only one. Anyone else out there that had a no show or didn't get albums that he promised to send after you pay him?

Post screenshots of the conversation please?

I don't really know a lot about it, but it's like a week in Dallas that is geared toward bears.  It's like a week long event.

I just happened to be traveling through on the weekend and got lucky.

Did you submit a report about your stay in the Philippines?

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.
