However, I like to see what I get, and therefore I still prefer the bars over the apps.

And it is for that very reason that I think gogo bars will survive.

Although what you see in the bar is sometimes not what you get in the room, it's still the best way to judge whether or not the guy is worth the risk.

I've only ever used the apps once - in Prague - and I remember being very nervous as to what kind of guy would actually turn up. Luckily, he matched his profile perfectly and all went very well.

But what if the guy doesn't match his profile? What do you do then? I would find it very difficult to turn him away. There would be a massive loss of face.

So going to the bars saves me from all that stress. And there are surely many others who think the same.

Agreed 100 per cent... even in the dreaded BBB you can get a better idea of the boy than from the apps

The answer to this question is simple. You say so during the conversation. A friend of mine goes so far as to say "no cum, no tip". I had a guy turn up yesterday who evidently was the guy in the profile pic - but the pic was clearly several years old. We met in the lobby of my condo. I sent him away, having already told him that that's what would happen ("Pic this year? No photoshop?"). Similarly all those "massage" guys who send messages offering bargain basement prices of "only" 2000 or 2500 baht. They get a standard response - "so sorry, had sex yesterday with guy for 1000 baht". Most immediately drop their asking price. Interestingly I've started encountering Taiwanese escorts online - the cheapish hotels of Silom Soi 3 is where they hang out, same as the Vietnamese, and similarly extravagantly priced. Generally however I stick to the tried and true boys I've met online and had before
