  1. I've found a few houseboys from this site and they have worked out pretty well, so here's my two cents: First and foremost, I've found that you shouldn't expect sex to be part of the equation. If that's what you are wanting or expecting it's most likely gonna turn out badly. You've got someone staying at your place that might have no where else to go or no way to feed themselves. They are most likely in a desperate situation and if they had the means to pay their own rent or had family to help they wouldn't be looking to be a houseboy. Don't put him in the situation of feeling unsafe by even suggesting it's something on your mind. Also, if what you are truly wanting is someone to keep up the house, there may be little incentive to clean up if someone thinks they ar being kept around for sex. If sex is what you are expecting, then better to go look for someone explicitly wanting a sugar daddy and stop the pretense. To that end, one issue I have (and I've heard from friends who have used this site to find a houseboy) is that the profile pages are overly sexualized. When you look at a profile, the first thing you see is the "loads in mouth / loads in ass" with porn pics. What sort of expectations are we setting here from the start? Folks also don't like that when you set up a profile most of the questions want to know about dick size and sexual positions etc. Another complaint I have is I've wanted to upload pictures of the room I have here, the house, the view of the city, pics of the group of roommates that live at the house, etc. These are all things I'd imagine a potential houseboy would like to see. But the only thing we're allowed to show is a picture of ourselves. Again, setting the expectation that all he really would care about is "would I do" the employer. In my situation I think he'd be at least as interested in what his room looks like. As long as the site is geared towards sex being expected, don't be shocked that it attracts sketchy people. So here's my advice: 1- get rid of the "takes load in ass / mouth" graphic on the top of profiles. Super tacky. 2- allow pictures of folks houses, yards, households, room the houseboy will be living. 3- allow folks to opt out of the sex questions

  2. I've been on here for a few months now, and I see people posting about scammers in here all the time. Tonight I was fortunate enough to encounter my first scammer, and I saw him coming from 200 miles away and I promptly told him "No way". Don't fall for the scammers games, guys. They message you out of the blue, tell you that you're cute and they like you and they want to come and be with you and do all of these unheard of sexual things to you... but wait... there's a catch: "I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts!" It sounds bad, I know... But, if you send them a few hundred dollars, the world will once again be righted and they will come directly to you and it will be nothing but sunshine and happiness until the end of time. DON'T DO IT! My rendition of what may happen is, clearly, overly dramatic and you can (hopefully) see that what I've laid out before you is a load of crap. The kids with the to-die-for sexy pictures who say they love you will not be as obvious. Regardless, you must resist them. If they truly are homeless, stranded, etc there are resources available to them who will help them: They can post on their local Craigslist for somewhere to crash for a few days. It will be much easier for them to get somewhere local (and at no cost to you, to boot!) than for you to give them money to fly/drive/bicycle to wherever you are. They can go to a shelter. There are 3,500+ shelters in the US. Some cater specifically to Youth -- some even to GLBT youth. (http://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/) No car, no gas, pogo stick broken? No way to get to the shelter? They can call the local police. They will gladly take them to a shelter. Did their parents throw them out because they're gay? Call the local PFLAG office. They'll put 'em up for a few days and help them get back on their feet. (http://community.pflag.org/page.aspx?pid=256) You do not have to help them. Their predicament whether real, or most likely, a fictionalization is not your fault. They were like that when you found them, and they will be like that when you keep on walking. The above resources are available to them free of charge. Keep your money, buy yourself something pretty -- don't give it to them. Bottom line, please don't send them money. It's a trick. If it sounds too good to be true (i.e.: drop-dead gorgeous guy telling you that you're hotter than an oven on the sun, when you know good and well that you're an elderly bald man*, and he wants nothing more than to be snuggled up in your arms tonight.) it probably is. Common sense is the rule guys. * Nothing against elderly bald men, by the way. I just needed an example. Everyone is beautiful in their own way.

  6. Hi! I am from Pennsylvania, but I currently travel weekly for work. I am looking for a long term role where I can be a houseboy for someone (or someones’) who is very loving but also strict and dominant. I am imagining waking up at 5am (before you), cooking breakfast every day (passion for cooking) kissing you good morning, doing all the chores for most of the day, relaxing a little bit, and then cooking you dinner and pleasuring you in different ways every single night, with no off days. I would wear outfits you chose, follow a schedule and complete tasks that you command, and bend to your every whim in the bedroom. In return, I imagine I get free room (or low cost) and board and hopefully an allowance along with some free time to enjoy sightseeing and activities (non-sexual) outside of the home. I have extremely soft hands as well, tehe. I’m 5’6 140 lbs, Caucasian with blue eyes and brown hair. I am into being praised (“who’s a good boy?”) and generally pleasing however I can. I like a clean and proper environment, one with positivity and a focus on basic healthy activities! I’m very real, just nervous since this involves a lot of commitment, but I am looking around and hopefully you can be the one for me! I can’t add more pictures because of the file limit, but I can give more if needed.

  8. I think that many people on this site just treat this site like a regular porn site, versus dealing with real peoples lives. (I got to be first to admit there is a lot of eye candy on the site.) the only way to really fix this issue is that the owners of this website gets serious and make it to where people can meet and employ people who want to be employed!

  9. With Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and other browser platforms, there is an add-on application you can get generally called Reverse Image Search allowing you to RIGHT click on a photo and search for similar across numerous websites. A good 30% of the 'houseboys' on this website are FRAUDULENT - using someone else's photos OR claiming to be someone else. PLUS, IF you contact someone and they refuse to send additional photos - THAT'S a good indication that something's wrong!

  11. Go straight to videochat. I used to set up videochat after several email exchanges. But now I've learned to make it step #1. I met one guy who was completely genuine. He had no problem with video chat, liked the idea of seeing if I was for real too. Two other guys; One never showed up to the chat and I never heard from him again The other pretended to have no access to any device capable of videochat (you can do it for free at the library if you really have a 27 year old phone with no camera like you say). Dont waste your time on the scammers and players. Filter them out from the start.

  12. Before I paid to relocate someone there would be extensive chats about expectations online, then I would visit them to see if everything's a good fit. If that's the case then I'd personally relocate them.

  15. Be careful!!! desparation is not attractive to serious houseboys or employers. Desparation is a sign that you are unable to manage your situation, and draws scammers and fakes who may want to take advantage of you. worse, serious employers see desparation as a red flag, often indicating the houseboy is himself a scammer. Be VERY careful as this word and Post is a red flag!!! And NOT the type of red flag that guides an airplane to the landing strip.

  18. The problem we run into is that often the reason a houseboy is looking for a job is that they are not working and have no money so unless you are willing to help with travel they cannot afford to get to you. Normally I tell them I will reimburse them for any travel expenses once they arrive and all is good and everything they have told me is true. I made the mistake of sending $100 to Michael22 for gas money and of course he turned out to not only be a scammer, but using different names on different sites. On the "other" houseboy site he is Matthew Myers, on here he is Michael Dawson, which is the name he used at Western Union to pick up my money. Insist on seeing your boy on cam either on yahoo or skype or on your phone's facetime and get him to take a selfie in the bathroom mirror showing either a current newspaper or holding up his fingers a certain way so that he can't just send a pic off the internet of the guy he is using to fake who he is.

  20. I've been a houseboy 3 times now, and I can tell you that there is no text book answer that can tell you what you should or shouldn't do that you don't already know. Now don't get me wrong, I've tried more than 3 positions, but I only stay where the situation is right for us both. It's not about knowing what to do to satisfy your host. As a houseboy (and many forget this), you just have to stay 100% true to yourself and don't just say "yeah, I could try doing that" if you're not really into it. No matter how great you think the offered position is, there is always a better one on the next page. Never try to change yourself to fit a houseboy position. Meeting the right host and finding the right houseboy position (and for hosts to find the perfect houseboy) is like a puzzle. No matter how close some pieces come to fitting in more than one position, you'll never have a complete result unless every single piece is in the right spot. Anything less than that and there will always be that pieces left out and even if you don't miss it, someone will. I guess if there was a text book answer, the text book itself should be your own heart.

  27. Out of the blue after 1 year I get phone call from Danny=vegasboy (we have never spoken or communicated ever) looking for a position. While I was interested I told him to provide recent Pic & personal details. As we're talking I check main houseboy website & NO MORE VEGASBOY! Thought it was a scam for $ but felt sorry for him. Since he deleted his profile putting aside my concern for him I hung up & blocked his phone number. Disappointed bc we were considering helping him! Be careful, don't get suckered in, like we did in past cost us $$ Ask for info & do background check. ALSO, BIG CLUE LOOK AT THEIR ADDRESS! FOR EX SEVERAL GUYS ARE AT SAME ADDRESS IN MIDDLE OF PARK IN BROOKLYN NYC!

Instead of complaining, offer to volunteer some of your time and know how to help improve the site. It's obvious he(?) Needs help. Should your offer be refused, that's when the bitchin is appropriate.

  38. Vegasboi is not a scammer. He did live in my home for 10 months. He does lie a lot and he doesn't look like his profile picture anymore. He's probably in his 40s now. That is why you won't get a current picture of him. He is a good house keeper, but he is not good company. He can be controlling and aggressive. So good luck with this guy.

  39. This scammer pops up every other month or so. In October, he was HotBoy4Dad. I forget all his other names, but he always uses a '4' in his screen names. I know he's the same person as every profile he creates, he is the same distance from me, and he immediately has me blocked from reading and reporting his fake profile. Oh I should say he is a real person, just a flake and he'll try to take you for every penny he can get out of you. If you speak with him, please don't let his Southern accent fool you. He is from the deep south, he just doesn't have any Southern charm. You have been warned - take my advice please.

  43. Hi. Great site. Lots to like including how much proactivity there is in protecting the site from abuse. Im new here (4 days now). Employer looking for a houseboy. One thing that would help in the search is an easily accessible button on the search results that makes it possible to hide a profile. The idea is that when you run across a profile that wouldn't work, for example, distant state and not willing to lreocate, you could just click off that one and reduce the results to profiles you havn't looked at yet. Its complementary to the existing "save profile" feature. When I look at profiles, they fall into three categories, 1) Send msg now or save, 2) Rule out, 3) possibly revisit later. The "hide" helps with #2, Save with #1, and the rest end up in catagory 3. THanks -E

  44. I just wanted to comment on a couple of the suggestions here so far... One is where an employer has been a member of the site for a while and it not taking more than 60 days to find a houseboy if they are serious. What about those of us who have actually found houseboys either through this site (or others), but may be looking for a new houseboy? Sometimes house boys don't work out and sometimes they move on to other things. Admittedly all but one that I have had worked out great, but I'm not going to close my account each time. There is also the suggestion of having employers pay $100 a month for membership. Apparently it never occurred to this house boy that not everything revolves around money. In some instances there may be cause for paying a houseboy, and in other instances, room/board, meals, travel and other entertainment (all which costs a lot to the employer) may be sufficient, depending upon the expectations and whatever agreement the employer and houseboy work out. Honestly, I laugh when I read that a houseboy expects things like; a salary, his own car, a computer and of course his room/board, meals, etc... That sounds more like something that should be a full-time job, and I have yet to find a houseboy that works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week! I do like the suggestion that maybe we, as adults, should police ourselves better. Maybe better warnings somehow to educate people that there are fakes, liars and scammers. It's a huge red flag to me when a potential houseboy wants me to send them money. They always have the excuse that they have a car and need money for gas. If I counter that I will buy them a plane ticket or even fly out to meet them where ever they are and help them drive to where I live (paying for expenses along the way), EVERY one of them will decline. I can't think of a legitimate reason why anyone would send someone money like that. If the houseboy is serious, he'll accept the plane ticket or bus ticket or even you going out to pick him up. Otherwise, he's just looking to scam you out of your money! As for those ads directing people to other sites, they should be reported and deleted. Maybe a delay from the time someone signs up on the site, to the time they can communicate with anyone on the site, would deter some of this.

  45. A red flag for me as a houseboy, is when an employer has been a member of the site for several months and years, yet is still looking for a houseboy. It shouldnt take longer than 60 days to find a houseboy... if they are serious. Employers should have to pay a premium for membership. If they can afford the lifestyle of having a houseboy, then they can afford a membership fee. A serious fee like $100 a month. Only a serious member will pay a premium fee. It makes no sense for an employer to be on here 4 years and never had a houseboy because that tells me, they are flakey, not serious or something is wrong with them and no one wants to be their houseboy.
