Showaround

>>1265939
sounds interesting
do you know anything about reasonable prices?

>>1265940
Im not sure whats really considered 'reasonable' or not. most girls are around $17-$22 an hour if they request payment, some are free but probably have no reviews so you don't know what you're getting. never used it before either so I wanna hear if anyone else has.

>>1265942
how about guys?
how much are the girls offering?

also, man, I'd be really surprised if you could score this way

>>1265943
guys offer to show around for free more often than girls do (obviously) but you can see it all for yourself. It doesnt seem that unlikely if a girl local and guy foreigner spend the day and decide to spend some more time off the record. I bet someone pulled it off before

Isn't this what couchsurfing and similar are for? I'm usually able to meet up with some locals for beers at least when I'm using it.

>>1265952
pretty much. I was thinking I might go with that instead since its a free way to meet people to hang with and have a place to stay apparently

I think whats supposed to set showaround apart is you get more of a tour guide to show you around instead of some random people that are down to meet. and the broads are easier on the eyes so ayyyy

>>1265953
the only problem is, couchsurfing went to toal shit some years ago. Now it requires you to pay and is used mostly as a dating site, meaning almost nobody will answer you if you're male.

use trustroots intead

I looked at the girls in Prague... it doesn't seem like there's really much fun to be had with the girls there. You might be able to pull it off if you stay at one of the nicest hotels and give her the impression that you have tons of money (dress really well, talk about life in the US, etc).

But really, you're way better off just getting a girl from Tinder to show you around. Meet her for dinner/drinks/sex and then she sort of automatically becomes your local tour guide for the rest of the time you're there. I've done it that way all around the world, it's always the same and the best way to see a new city IMO.

>>1265961
They do seem pretty stale, every profile is kinda the same cause the wanna maximize their clientele. Tinder would prob be a better bet, but I might try my changes with this one girl that messaged me on showaround

>>1265958
Glad I didn't waste time making a profile on that. Trust roots looks like it's for hippies and hitchhikers desu

>>1265976
yes, exactly.
but you get a lot of different people there

>>1265943
Depending on country and prices and bios. Some are obvious whores

>>1265961
holy shit what kind of super chad do you have to be to just jump on tinder and be able to meet up with a girl in person just like that wherever you go. hard to imagine such a life.

>>1266088
Not sure if b8 but tinder is supposed to be wayy easier if you're a foreigner. Kinda expected really

>>1266088
can back what the other anon says. I had a roommate, who would use tinder non-stop. She would just make the less fortunate buy her a dinner, never wanting to fuck her, but she would go crazy for any foreigner and let him fuck her brains out.

She probably had a thing for the foreigners and it is not a common thing for every girl using tinder, but I bet that in every major city there are at least a few such girls

Just be sure you're not that loser whose sole purpose is buying food

>>1266091
*never wanting to fuck THEM
of course

>>1265939
>girls can make 20 bucks an hour for showing a loser around a city

Girls REALLY have it way too easy.

It doesn't require you to pay. That's just 1 way to verify.

>mostly as a dating site
correct, at least how I use it

>you if you're male
unattractive male

so many replies and nobody said the obvious: it's a scam site

it requires you to pay to message guides.

which is the best clue to tell most profiles are fake, and the site lives off these right-to-message payments

>>1266170
You must be talking about couch surfers or some other site. Showaround doesn't have any chatting restrictions, neither free or paid guides

fuck off with your scam site already. I'm reporting this.

>>1266226
do the guides also have to pay?

>>1265958

I tried to use Trustroots, but it requires an invitation first

anyone can help?

I look like shit and people respond to me all the time. You just gotta get some references stockpiled, like 10 or so, before you can have a prayer of landing a host. Girls dont need any really, but people aren't willing to host men who dont have a lot of positive references behind them.

Depending on where you live you can get the references you need to start surfing in less than a month, or a number of years. Major US cities or close to national parks and you'll be good.

>>1266226
Lol I haven't bothered to message people outright. When you set a trip people just line up and message you instead which is easier. 8 offers all girls (that's a lie, one of them was a tranny from Berlin)

>>1266230
I tried messaging someone as an offer to show them around my city and it wasn't any money. They didn't respond to me tho

>>1266226
You gotta pay it's a scam? OP said in the OP it's a paid service. OP is probably legitimately curious, and I am too. So fuck off with your negativity already.

>>1266283
Thank you. Anon must've got burned or somethin

>>1266283
did you read the pic, moron? you have to pay to message people. OP said you have to pay the guide, which is a bit different, isn't it?
WHen you have to pay to message it incetivies the site to create fake profiles - and guess what - it does!
that's why I call it a scam

>>1266292
You need to relax dude. I didn't even know it charges you to message guides because I never bothered to and they always message me first. Once you set a trip to a city the guides make you offers, some free some paid. I haven't spent a dime on this site so you have to stop with this 'scam' talk

OK, so I'm thinking about becoming a giude.
what do you guys consider important addition to a profile?
do you care if I have an fb account?
How many photos are enough?
what kind of attractions would you like to be shown?

>>1266366
you are the attraction

>>1266369
only if you are a cute grill and have no (feminine)penis at all

>>1266366
are you male or female

>>1265939
This sounds idiotic.
I can't believe someone would actually pay for it.

>>1265945
I charged about 30 dollars to be a guide around New Orleans and I'm a guy. I only had older men try to buy my services, I did it a few times and never really had a good experience. I ended up going back to my part time job. Anyone that decides to guide older men should really be careful.

>>1267663
male

>>1267973
any gay encounters?
or rather: any non-gay encounters?
or were they actually too old for that kind of thing?

>>1268030
I wouldn't call them gay encounters because I'm not gay. A norwegian guy who was much older than me basically offered me a generous tip if I experimented with him. I don't want to go into a lot of detail but I'll just say anyone looking to make some extra cash just be aware a lot of these guys just know the right things to say to you.

>>1268274
This. Don't believe anyone who says they will only stick it in half way. Dignity is worth more than 1000 rubles.

>>1268292
Sorry you had to learn the hard way Ivan

>>1268274
yeah, that's what I expected.
So is there any way to actually earn money for showing people around, or is nobody using that site for that prupose?
