it's unbelievable that u still use that phrase 'higher-quality guys'. it tells more about u than about guys u cruise online.

I don't understand this whole constant attack on me. I think everyone agrees that there is a range of guys (more desirable to less desirable). Maybe I should just instead say "guys that are more attractive to me mentally and physically."

Read and analyse some of your own previous posts and you might gets some clues as to why you cop some negative.

"Beware that you can't communicate with anyone on thailovelinks unless you pay for membership. I did 3-month at $20 a month. It seems that almost nobody on there has a paid subscription...."

You really think the average young Thai man (working or not working) can afford 600Baht for such subscriptions?

But perhpas that's an indication of what you mean by 'high quality'.

Even those you could afford it, why would they even want to pay for a subscription? There's so many gay dating sites they can use for free, like GayRomeo, ManJam and Fridae.

I agree--I totally can't figure out why there are all those Thai guys on there with unpaid subscriptions. All they can do is send "indications" of interest and see if the other guy will pay in order to write back. I've found that a lot of things in cruising make no sense. This whole thailovelinks thing makes no sense.

"....see if the other guy will pay in order to write back."

Take a moment to analyse what your saying. If you have limited income (and 90% of Thai young men have limited to very limited income, and some maybe zero income especially if they are students), then you work with what you have / what you can afford. Nothing really wrong with that.

Your comment sounds like they are out to trick someone / take advantage of someone.

Or maybe this is an indicator of what you are all about.

Wantasian - Beware of upcountry guys. Many of them are veterans of Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket & Hua Hin gay/non-gay bars, of massage houses or other pleasure spots. Or incidentally they're back home during the low seasons. Not all of them are students or out-of-work graduates.

Not to mention the dozens of local Thai sites that Thai men use to make contact.

I was not trying in any way to say that the non-payers are not high quality. I just wanted to warn that thailovelinks charges to be able to send actual messages, and that most guys on there don't pay (and therefore can't communicate with you unless you have a paid subscription). In fact, if you look at my posts, I said that thailovelinks seems to have "higher-quality" guys than gayromeo.

When I first checked out thailovelinks, I was disappointed that I could not send messages to anyone (unless they had a paid subscription) unless I paid for subscription. I also figured out that, it seemed, nobody else had paid subscriptions. So I paid, and found that I could send and receive messages (even if other guys did not have subscriptions). I found that the quality of the experiences was better than on gayromeo. It seemed that gayromeo was all about the Thai guys getting bombarded by vast (almost insane) volumes of contacts. There was also a lot of weird games--I even had some Thais get mentally sadistic if I did not promise immediately to be their monagamous boyfriend.

I'd appreciate hearing about other people's experiences with thailovelinks. Hopefully the contacts I made there will be real when I go to Bangkok and actually try to meet them in person. I also had some really great upcountry guys contact me, but I had to tell them that I'm only looking for guys in Bangkok. In fact, I think if you're looking for upcountry guys, you'll be amazed at some of the non-narcissic guys on there. I actually had some hot masculine military and other uniformed guys go after me.
