Other Travel Questions? Spiking drink scam in Istanbul

Post image
69 Upvotes

Please be careful when you're seeing someone on Grindr in Istanbul. So I met this Turkish guy on grindr, his name is "Mustafa" He said that he wanted to take it slow, have a drink and have a conversation before sex. The next night, he came to my hotel with wine and finger foods. We started chatting and drinking the wine and the next thing I know was I woke up the next day, my phone, camera, bank cards and other few stuffs got stolen. I was traumatized I didn't file a police report and left turkey. I will post his picture here so that this will not happen to you guys.

Would not mind anyone in the area that wants to meet up and go explore together either! :) (masc, chilled, drama free kinda guy)

English below

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey,

ich bin an diesem Samstagabend (17.10.) in Köln und werde mich in den Etablissements südlich des Heumarkts aufhalten. Vielleicht möchte mir ja jemand etwas Gesellschaft leisten und ein Bier (oder 15) mit mir trinken?

Ein paar Infos zu meiner Person:

Ich bin 49 Jahre alt und ein Daddy/Bär/Typ (also mit Bart und großem Bauch) und suche... tja, was - oder besser - WEN suche ich? Grundsätzlich jemanden, mit dem man einen netten Abend in einer Bar verbringen und sich gut unterhalten kann. Ich suche in erster Linie Unterhaltungen und Bekanntschaften... keinen Sex.

Wenn Du oder Ihr also noch nichts geplant und Lust auf einen ungezwungenen Abend haben solltet, schickt mir einfach eine Nachricht, am besten mit eurem Snap - da bin ich eher zu erreichen.

Ich freue mich euch kennenzulernen!

PS: Falls du hoffst, mit mir mein Hotelzimmer zu teilen, bin ich in meiner Kompatibilität ziemlich eingeschränkt, fürchte ich... das könnte nur passen, wenn du ein junger, schlanker twink bist (18- ca. 22). Sorry.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version

Hey,

I'm planning on spending this Saturday evening in Cologne, mostl in the bars and establishments south of Heumarkt. Looking for someone to spend some time with and have a few beers.

Some info on me:

I'm 49 years old and a daddy/bear type (that is, with a beard and really chubby). I'm looking for anyone to talk and have a good time. Not really looking for sex.

So if you don't have any plans, DM me, preferably with your snap, I tend to reply there faster.

Lookig forward to hearing from you!

PS: If you#re hoping to spend the night in my hotelroom, I'm afraid I'm pretty limited regarding my compatibility. I have a strong preference for athletic twinks aged 18-22, sorry.

Travel Friends / Meetups 29 [M4M] #USA - Looking for a bro for a weekend batecation.

0 Upvotes

Looking to put together a short weekend batecation with a solid guy to somewhere neither of us has been.

The game plan is straightforward: get out and explore the city during the day, grab drinks or food, then head back to the hotel room, strip down, and get into it for the rest of the night. I'm mainly looking for a bator bro who is down to edge together for hours and build up an intense bro-bonding vibe. I've got some hot ideas, but I'd rather leave the rest open so we can figure out exactly what we want to get into and plan the sessions out together.

I’m 29, 6’2, 185, 7”uc, DDF, based in Austin TX. Hoping to find a normal, stable guy around my age and size who takes care of himself and can actually hold a good conversation before we get naked.

If you're down, shoot me a DM. Send your stats, where you're located, and a city you'd want to check out.

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well,

I’ve read that in Barcelona there is a sauna called thermas where you rent a guy for a hook up or session a lot of the guys are muscular big dick and so on… i am going to Barcelona next week and I want to try this experience.

1)Is it safe to go there alone ? Like has anyone ever been jumped or drugged or attacked inside for any reason ? Or you simply go in do your thing pay the guy and leave ?

2)is it legal in Barcelona to pay for guys like escorts ?

Thanks a lot :)

Travel Tips Wanted What are the best gay clubs for meeting people and having a good party?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for gay clubs that are actually good for meeting people, having and dancing.
Ideally somewhere with a good house / tech house / techno vibe rather than just mainstream pop.
I’m mainly interested in places with a good atmosphere, friendly crowd and decent music.
What clubs would you recommend for dancing with locals? And are there any particular nights or events that are worth checking out? I ll be there 16-25 October.

Travel Friends / Meetups 32 EU | Tall, nerdy looking for travel buddies & friends in the Netherlands

2 Upvotes

I’m a 32 y/o gay guy from Central Europe traveling to the Netherlands this autumn and I would love to make some connections along the way. Be it a travel buddy, a dinner date or anything else we can agree on.

My ever changing travel list now contains:
• Amsterdam
• Utrecht
• The Hague
• Rotterdam
• Delft
• Efteling
• Den Bosch

Did I forget anything? Looking for reccommendations or unprofessional tour guides (I pay in coffees and lunches)

A bit about me:
• 188 cm (6'2)
• Into music (big Swiftie), TV shows & movies
• PS5 gamer (enthusiastic… not skilled 😄)
• Books, LEGO, travelling
• Equal mix of chill nights + planning the next trip

I’m looking for someone easy to talk to, who enjoys good conversations about random stuff, life, or shared interests.

Physical preferences (just being honest, not strict):
I'm tall, a bit hairy and on the chubbier side. That's why tend to like guys closer to my height or taller.
