Controversial...yes?

"But why should that matter? Are you ever going to be seeing the other tourists around you again? So why care about what they think when you know what is actually taking place. If you are doing nothing to be ashamed of then dont worry about it. How or why should what they think bother you? Dont worry about it and have fun when you are here."

Exactly. If you feel guilty or care what others think, maybe you shouldn't be doing it. Or maybe you should because the rush overcomes the concern. Who cares????? It's your vacation that you undoubtedly busted your a$$ for to make it happen.

If you want to hook up with a consenting adult, please do so. Just strap up and don't cry about it if you get burned.

Now back to the hideous tourist and hooker half their age.........

Agreed Rob. I was attempting to differentiate between the Romance Tourist and simply hanging out. I suppose an older gigolo would be more established, with more alternatives, thereby, less desperate and vulnerable. (I hadnt re-read the article to see the emphasis on that aspect) And yes, I have noted that I can't control what others think nor let it bother me, and it won't. My goal was to challenge people's automatic assumptions.

Lol, not at all lady..... I can tell you are a kind person from your post. Just throwing in some humor.....

Seriously Booger... biggest JA mistake I have ever made was not spending time with you and your wife when I had the chance :) You crack me up!
PS - I didn't mean that sexually since some people will assume (grin)

lol, I have had the same thought many of times.... Let me know when you'll be back as our time was really short. For inquiring minds, we hung out at baggage claim. I fly A LOT, and this was by far my best baggage claim experience yet.

Booger - Ill be there late November and most of May... PM me. Would love to meet up (baggage claim or bar of your choice)

Can't PM, but we just might cross paths if you are there end of Nov.

Sounds good :)

Hmmm interesting points...I'm American and every reach someone ask me am I Jamaican I've even been ask to bring ice to a room etc...I laugh it off as it's a compliment in IMO...
So when I'm with my "friend" 10yrs younger they ask where WE from when, I say I'm from US he's from here they give us a look as if "Oh your one of them" as the conversation gets shorter lol so I guess judgment comes in all forms...because I find they are ok talking to us when they think we are a couple from the same place but when they find out we are not.....Assumption comes to play.

It's all good at the end as I can care less what one thinks and just for the record I get approached here at home by younger men so it's not surprising to me.
