Aruba

Does anyone know if there are any male escorts or masseurs on the island of Arbua?

 

I'm going there in a few weeks, and the info online is practically nonexistant...

There is nothing available about "escorts" on Aruba because the island is predominately a "yuppie" tourist location.

 

I assume you are going to Aruba for business. However, if you chose that location for pleasure and expect to meet "escorts", you may want to rethink your plans and go somewhere else, like Brazil, for example. Brazil is not that much farther south in the scheme of things where you are guaranteed to have a great time.

 

The few sites that advertise about Aruba "escorts" all make it clear that the "escorts" are female for males and some are males for FEMALES.

You may manage to hook up with someone for free if you check out Gaydar, at http://www.gaydar.co.uk In their "Caribbean" listing there are usually several guys from Aruba. It's a small island, the pickings are slim, and new faces on the island are usually a welcome change. Gaydar is free (you do have to register, using a nickname) so it doesn't hurt to send a few messages to the guys who hang out there. . .

P.S. I agree with ihpguy. For the life of me I don't know why a gay man would choose to spend his vacation somewhere with minimal or no gay life (like Aruba), when you can find sun, sand, culture and MEN in destinations ranging from Ghana to the Dominican Republic and from Brazil to Thailand! }( Of course, if you have to go there on business, that's another story. But spending your own money to go somewhere boring doesn't seem to make any sense!

 

If you're stuck with Aruba, an alternative is to bring your own fun along! Let us know what you decide and how your trip goes!

I doubt it.

Any available Island talent, along with the rest, is probably still searching for Natalie Holloway -Very Sad Story. :+

Thanks, trilingual for the suggestions.

 

I won the trip through my work, so there wasn't an option about the destination (and I can't complain about the price, either!). I'm actually taking my elderly mother with me (separate rooms!!!) so my options for going out for fun will be kind of limited. That is why I was hoping to have some fun delivered to the room.

 

At least the hotel has high speed internet...

Uh-oh! You "WON" the trip?

 

Do you know that the trip is not a "free" trip if it is a prize? This is because there is income tax related to prizes. The "fair-market-value" of the trip, hotels et cetera will be included on a Form 1099 given to you next year. The Form 1099 will advise you how much income to report on your income tax returns. The income tax could be substantial.

 

 

You may want to find out what dollar amount your employer placed on the value of the trip compared to the enjoyment you might gain from actually visiting Aruba. Aruba is a place predominately for "yuppies" and non-gays.

 

Last year I won a "prize" for a "free" trip to Bermuda (air and hotel). After I learned that the "prize" was valued at $10,000.00 and the income taxes to me would be nearly $4,000.00, I returned the "prize" and did not go and therefore, avoided the tax. I do not care for Bermuda.

 

There is a legal way to lower the Form 1099 amount reported on your income tax returns. To accomplish this, you need to do some homework BEFORE you leave for your alleged "free" trip.

 

Sorry to put a damper on your "luck" and your winning the trip, but you know the old saying "death and taxes."

Unless you like deep sea fishing, try to cash in your trip!! I spent one week in Aruba fishing and gambling. There were no available boys. I even tried to "put the make on" a bell boy from Surinam. I saw no boys as cute as van der Sloot (regardless of his crime, he's still cute). If wind, sand dunes, and divi divi trees are your thing, you'll be in heaven. The fishing is GREAT!
