The dancing man at La Boy: Adam...

Hello Everyone,

 

We are here in Rio, and I wanted to mention that I met a really nice guy named Adam.  We first caught each other's eye at a club called La Boy here in Ipanema/Copacabana.  My friends went to a club called "The Week" on Saturday night, but it was on the other side of town.  I wanted to stay local, and I had a feeling of what to expect at "The Week" because they sponsored the parties in Floripa when Chris and I were there for Carnival.  I felt the club would have a bunch of the "Barbies" and drugged out guys.  I am not opposed to drugs.  I actually enjoy some of them.  But when I am not on them myself, I tend not to like to be surrounded by those who are.  Plus the muscle queens can be unfriendly to someone of my lanky physique.

 

I went to La Boy.  The crowd was older than the previous time I had been there.  Many of the guys were over 40.  The minority of 20-somethings seem to be dancing and marketing themselves in front of the 40-plus crowd.  I thought I showed up at the Boy Blue Bar in Berlin.  LOL  That was the bar that my friend Heiko and I went to and where the entire clientele was comprised of old men and teenage Romanian boys.   There was a young 20 year old who was very interested in me.  I danced and made out with him, but I always had it in the back of my mind that he might be "working" so I said good night to him after a while.  He was the best kisser that I have ever had.  I will give him that.

 

This bar does have a "dark room" which is more of a dark platform above the main dance floor.  I walked through there a couple of times, but I never saw anything I liked.  I went back out to the main dance floor and was happy to just dance for a bit.  That is when I saw Adam again.  I decided to move towards his direction and introduce myself.  It was clear that we were interested in each other even though we have a definite language barrier.  After spending the last hour or so together, I wanted to go home since the sun was up.  But we made the promise to meet each other at Ipanema Beach the next day at 3 in the afternoon.

 

True to his word, Adam was walking down the street towards the beach at the same time as me.  We met a couple of his friends at the beach and hung out for a little bit.  Then we went back to my hotel room for a little fun and privacy.  Afterwards, we headed back out to meet one of his friends from the beach for dinner.  I learned a little Portuguese, and they learned a little English.  We had a nice meal and some good beer for once!!  Then they walked me back to the square near my hotel and where they needed to catch the bus back home.

 

Adam is a really nice and genuine guy.  I appreciate the fact that he spent over an hour on the bus just to try to meet me at the beach.  I learned that he lived pretty far away.  He and his friend Thiago were very pleasant company at dinner.  And I had a blast with Adam when we were alone.  ;)

 

It was another great date.  I wish that I could spend more time with him and many of the guys I have met on this trip.  I hope I get to see him again before I leave Rio.  :)

 

Cheers,
