I would not buy him clothes @orville. You do not really know his taste and size. And you are denying yourself some considerable pleasures, for I agree with @The_Impeccable_G. IMO you need a 3step program.
 
1. Dating a handsome young jock, I’d buy him some good briefs and jockstraps. I’d have him model them for me. That was always an arousing start to a date. I’d ask him which brand/colour he preferred and how he liked the fit.
2. For another date, I’d typically get him a large range of the briefs/jocks he liked.
3. On a later date, I’d take him shopping for clothes. Especially on a trip together, a shopping spree in NYC or London can be a lot of fun with a young companion. (I still recall a hot Australian muscleboy sucking me off in a department store changing-room as a quick “thank-you”)

@12is12 “the other” website you mention is now retitled as www.gayguides.com 
You may need to re-register to gain full access but it has lots of useful info on Latin America (especially Brazil and Mexico) and Europe (especially Spain and Prague/BelAmi). I would say there’s less current info on SE Asia.

Really @xyz48B it’s not all about you. 
 
I think the posters here were genuinely trying to help the OP with their advice and comment on the possible pitfalls of his plan. 

It’s a look that certainly appeals hugely to me. For me, it’s not necessarily about ethnicity: it can be white, black, mixed-race or Asian.
 
For me, it’s definitely about the young men being well groomed, clean-shaven, with preppy good looks and having an engaging and outgoing nature. As part of the look, I expect the men to have fit, muscled bodies that are smooth or lightly hairy as well as having an attractive hair-style and good teeth.

Eh? I’m very surprised @xyz48B. First, you consider a thread started only 8 weeks ago as “oooold”. But secondly, you then express your distaste.

What’s the ‘All American’ look? Is it another way of saying ‘young fit white guy’? If so I’d say the look probably would get a lot of inquiries. Most of the adverts on places like Rentmen and similar sites are by that type of guy if you go by the pictures so I assume that’s what the market wants.
There’s also markets for other looks but maybe they’re not so big. Example you don’t see many adverts with ginger haired pale guys who are extremely overweight? Some people love that look but the adverts aren’t full of those guys looking for clients so I guess it’s niche.

It’s pointless bemoaning the fact that the market likes something you’re not, and can never be. I’ll never be 23 again so I’m not going to complain the 23 year olds are doing great business. I’ve got my market and I make the best of it.
The classic song from Gloria Gaynor comes to mind:
I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame til you can shout out 
I am what I am
I think that says it all…

Keep this simple and keep it simply as business. You’re thinking with the wrong head. 

Replay the scenario but this time with a random person cutting your lawn or providing some other service. Would you still do it?  Especially given that you don’t really know him…

Good.
Good.
And we’re off…..
That’s about 10 years away in "escort time"….just FYI.
Who didn’t see this coming?
You’re smarter than this…..don’t a moron
You are. Next question. 
All con artists "sound genuine". Again, just FYI. 
He is. He’s working 10 other John’s with the same scam and it’s hard work keeping all the lies straight. 
You’re making excuses for him. "Molly, you in danger girl." 
You are. Just keep stepping back. You’ll get the picture….eventually
There’s "being good" and there’s "being stupid". You are currently in the latter camp. "Snap out of it."
You got it. 

You offered to pay money upfront? You text him 5 or 6 times daily? You have never met? Seems to me in all due respect you are looking more for a hot friend and willing to break many rules to get there.
Happens to many on here. And then people wonder how they get conned. Hmmmm.

No info but I admire your good taste @cany10011

To me, this doesn’t seem realistic at all. Instead it sounds like a rather romantic notion. (As an aside, does your chosen screen-name reflect that you are indeed lonely?)
So how many times have you met? More than 50? More than 100? And are these only occasions of ‘dinner, bed & breakfast’? Or have you been on trips with him and spent 1-2 weeks in each other’s company?
I don’t see the age-difference as a barrier to romance (I myself have a much younger partner and we’ve been together for several years). But you have a number of significant obstacles to surmount. For instance, 
1. do you speak his mother-tongue very well?
2. are his educational attainments sufficient for him to have a decent career in your home-city?
3. do you have plenty of money to support him while he is getting established? (I’m not talking about the extra costs of feeding and housing him but rather his monthly allowance (say $1000 in a big city), his phone and gym bills, possibly a car etc)
4. is your home large enough? (Possibly his hobbies and interests may differ from yours, say he goes to bed much later than you, or plays loud music etc)
If you are serious about this @lonely_john, I urge you to take a trip with him and spend an entire month together. If you can’t enjoy that amount of time with him, consider how a couple of years will seem…

He has a nice body but at best, he’s only decent looking. At that price point, I’d want a very handsome guy with a superb physique who’s both passionate and skilled in bed. 
 
I don’t know how much has changed recently but when I did hire, there were many amateurs who met my criteria and had reasonable expectations. Maybe it’s harder to find handsome young men in need of financial support nowadays, but I see plenty of goodlooking guys on the street. 

Simple ridiculous
