Where do guys abroad advertise at? Seems we surpass all other countries

[JoeyBryant]

I've looked around and noticed we've surpassed many other countries as far as advertisers go. Now, I will give the benefit of the doubt that perhaps google search just isn't broadcasting the sites people in other countries use.

 

However, taking a look at places like Australia...I just don't see many guys with ads up. This ranges everywhere from Adam to men4rent. Yet it seems almost every major city in the U.S. has a plethora of guys with ads. I'm trying to get an idea of why this may be...and whether the places with few advertisers are like that because it's too prohibitive to work in, or the culture is different, or maybe they have other sites/venues offline (like bathhouses) to operate from. Looking around, men4rent and rentboy have the highest number of guys located in the U.S., while every other country only has a handful.

Our resident expert is Steven_Draker; I seem to have the impression that Gayromeo is optimum for some countries,

Gaydar especially for the UK and Cupido for others . . .

Honcho is correct, other countries use their own sites. It can be misleading when you just look at rentboy, Adam, men4rent, etc. Having said that, some countries just won't have a lot of postings for other reaons (i.e. Egypt, etc.)

[JoeyBryant]

Thanks...it seems as though men4rent and rentboy gives off this 'international' perception by allowing escorts to advertise all over...with of course rentboy being more popular internationally.

 

But adam4adam seems to have a somewhat mixed market. I've known guys from Europe to use it, but other area not so much.

In Australia, most guys advertise in http://www.gaydar.com.au and http://www.rentboyaustralia.com

Ah, I knew there had to be signs of life there. Thanks for those. I've heard of gaydar before as well.

If you go to Australia, I can highly recommend gaydar there... both for paid and unpaid companionship... My trips there have been some of the best vacations I have ever had. I found that Australians generally love Americans, especially if you are genuinely interested in them, their country, culture and customs...met a lot of wonderful guys there.

Damn those Aussies are hot!!!

I've met a couple here in my area and hadn't previously before. They both seemed pretty nice and accommodating. I wish I could leave and go there tomorrow. I know I'd need at least a full season of planning and I wouldn't even be worried about the cost of things as I'm sure it'd pay for itself.

 

However, I read a news article saying Queensland is extremely homophobic. Can someone give some clarity?

Look at the Crocodile Hunter. He wasn't what you'd think a hot guy would be, but people thought he was for his Aussie-ness.

It's true, Australians even help during the Vietnam War.

 

I think Australia is more similar to Canada in everything but the weather.

 

Gaydar is good there and gayromeo is growing because of European visitors.

Different websites for different countries, as has been mentioned above.

 

You can have a look at PlanetRomeo which currently has some 1605 escorts in Cologne/Dusseldorf and 1650 escorts for the sole city of Berlin. You can't beat that number.

Steven, agree completely, and I am dedicated to gayromeo/planetromeo in Europe. Currently more escorts on planetromeo in Croatia than in all of New York State (including Manhattan). I see you are on gayromeo for Tokyo, how does it work out for you in Japan and the Far East? Do you post on gayromeo while in the USA? Do you get business from gayromeo while in the USA?

The requests I get are nicely spread between PlanetRomeo, Gaydar and Rentboy.

Peanuts ... comparing to two elephants in the room: Rentboy and M4RNow.

Thanks Drake (if I can call you that) for your references. But those numbers can't be accurate because I see a lot of anonymous profiles as well, not sure what that means though. But wow, Italy and Germany surpass the US. I guess my next question is, why doesn't American have many escorts? Well that's self-explanatory. Too many but not enough.

Ragazzolupo,

I am also told tonight that there are a few hookup sites that exist only in Japanese and don't have an English version.

Obviously you have to be Japanese to understand what's going on there.

I guess my next question is, when escorts complain about rates of the sites, and that M4RN won't let them post rates, why don't they all sign up for gayromeo, which is free (unless you want to buy the premium position), and you can post most anything that you wish.?? Yeah, I know, there is not a critical mass in the U.S. (except maybe in NYC) but there is nothing to lose and perhaps a lot to gain if all clients would encourage, and all escorts would just sign up.
