It's not something I normally do but given what he was asking for I thought it was worth the risk as he would have got a lot more had he turned up for a date.

Hmmmm , strange - he has 8 recent positive / enthousiastic comments in his guest book and no negatives. Maybe he just didnt fancy you - which would not excuse, but could explain !

-- Possibly what our dear medical colleagues would call: 'False positives.'?
- Personally I'm always MORE than happy to receive a NEGATIVE reply from such people!

Well I might agree with that had we met or he had ever seen me or pictures of me but I just got this desperate plea for some help and taking into account that the remarks in his guest book were positive I thought I was dealing with a genuine guy. Maybe others have not parted with their money until they had received some service for which they were then prepared to pay some money for.

I lived in BKK for several months 2ys ago and had a GR account then. Got messaged buy a 22y old guy, university degree, great English and worked for a BKK law firm. We chatted when still in Europe and finally met in BKK. He said he was into mature Caucasians and had had a longer relationship before. Now he d just be into 1night stands but I was "different" and he would like to have a real relationship with me. We met several times for dinner in a Thai restaurant and later for cinema. Once a week, no sex, because he was not "ready" yet. I accepted but after one month he chose a quite expensive restaurant before cinema and this time I decided to stop and pretended to have headaches after dinner bec. I felt "used". He sent me several mails when I did not pick up the phone. "Drama nit noi". I told him about my point of view and he said I was wrong and he would have come to my room next time. When I answered and said I d agree he said he was too busy at the moment working on his thesis. Never met or heard again. He still has is account on GR (send PM for name) and is online every day. I am curious how this story possibly would have ended. He NEVER asked for any money and seemed to come from a wealthy family. Maybe somebody on this board can share similar experiences.

I had a three month affair with someone similar. He was an attractive city boy, university educated, regular job, spoke good English, etc. The trouble was he was very self centred and always wanted me to focus on meeting his desires in bed rather than satisfying mine. I decided to end it and subsequently found someone else, an attractive country boy: uneducated, poor, casually employed, very little English, etc. But he was keen to satisfy me in every regard. He didn't ask for money, but I offered it because I could see he needed a little financial help. I doubted his motivations for a long time, but now, almost 2 years later we are still together, he works hard in his own business and is less financially reliant on me. The lesson of course is that successful relationships are a two way street requiring each party to meet the needs of the other. As a footnote, what I have discovered about the differing attitudes of the boys in these cases is almost a metaphor for the city/country social divide one observes in Thailand.

It may have been true in your case, but I've slept through all classes and I have not found any correlation between socio-economic class status and willingness to please a partner in bed.

Selfish sex partners exist equally in every group.

I don't understand how you got the 80 baht to him without meeting him. Did you mail it to him? Odd. And only 80 baht? Strange.

I don't understand how you got the 80 baht to him without meeting him. Did you mail it to him? Odd. And only 80 baht? Strange--just some cute femmy guy asking everyone for money--what do you expect?

The profile No is Profile No. 7777781 but it is now waiting to be validated, yesterday it had all his pictures on it. Where did you get the 80 baht from? It was a bit more than that. I have chatted with the guy a couple of times and he seemed to have good reports so I transferred it via the ATM to his account not something I normally do but I made an exception for him. The money will not be missed but I thought I would warn others and from what the other user says he enjoys going through your pockets if he gets the chance.

The user use_pass received a nice guestbook entry today as well, have a look... Seems credible, but on the other hand, someone who's pissed with one of his GayRomeo contacts might also make something like that up to discredit the guy. And to keep others away, jealousy plays strange games with many minds... ;-)

I notice that the user Newinbkk2010 has in fact disabled his guest book so that in itself speaks volumes. I can only speak for myself, he sounded quite desperate when he asked me to help him out, down to his last 80 baht so as he had received several positive comments and it wasnt a lot he was asking for I did so. He then blocked me. I have never met the guy so all I can do is confirm what happened to me.

Interesting! A couple of weeks ago I chatted to this guy (use_pass) on GayRomeo and exchanged numbers but didn't arrange to meet. Later in the week I got a text from a guy asking me to ring him concerning use_pass. I found myself talking to an American guy who had just met him and had some money stolen. As use-pass was hurriedly leaving his room he dropped a piece of paper with my name and number and those of a couple of other guys.

It was good of the American guy to take the trouble to warn me. Apparently use_pass hangs around The Malaysia Hotel quite a lot.

I lock up everything of value even if I'm just taking a shower. But I don't usually lock up my phone or netbook. I had one guy say he wanted to stay in my room while I went out (he claimed he was tired). Did "use-pass" rip the guy off and run while the guy was in the shower? I think guys have probably gone through my pockets, etc. while I've been in the shower (I take long showers)--but I've never had anything stolen (because the paper money is in the safe).

By the way, I love Pinnacle Hotel because they have in-room safes. I don't think Malaysia Hotel has any in-room safes--so maybe that's why "use-pass" likes hanging around there.

I guess he likes hanging around there because it's a well-known pick-up spot for freelance moneyboys. Many but not all of their customers stay at Malaysia hotel.
