I love a tasty Nook and a hot Cranny! And Chicago has plenty of Hot Men for that!

We agree on what's most important- Keeping guys safe.
 
My statement on high-end hotels remains something I firmly believe: While I'd never say it was failsafe, it's a lot smarter than going to the La Quinta if you're in a red-alert area.
 
Your best bet remains going with a reviewed, vetted escort. In nearly every story I hear of LE nabbing someone, there are always a ton of red flags that were repeatedly ignored. Use your head... Don't be a statistic.
 
This cat-and-mouse game will always exist, at least until society figures out a way to legalize (and tax) it. Trust your instincts if things feel wrong.

Bucktown/Wicker Park
Andersonville (where a lot of the gay community went after fleeing Boystown)
Gold Coast (touristy, but great for walking and sightseeing)
 
Chicago is such a wonderfully setup city for tourists and easy sightseeing.

This is just a rough draft.
 
Any takers?

I'm not making definitive statements. I'm giving you my personal experience. And yes, even in Vegas, tipping off concierges and front desk management has saved me future stress. Again, my experience.
 
You're only equating this with Vegas... Think larger scale. Higher-end properties (Ritz, Four Seasons, Mandarin, etc) rarely see sting operations, if ever. Tax-payer money used in that amount isn't the norm. I never said it was a fail safe (nothing is), but simply not the norm when it comes to hotels that operate with a high nightly cost.
 
What I'm not doing is fear-mongering. I've always told people to think with their big heads, but there are always small ways to protect yourself even further.

I love how Jack Lord went from a normal shade of white to Trump orange by the time the series was in its last season.

I want one

Speaking of which, I need to start making tshirts with 'Implied Toxic Slut' screen printed on them

Steroids, dermal filler, Botox and probably some Ben Nye

You're being a little paranoid, but that's ok
 
A smart escort will quickly make friends with the hotel staff he's seeing on a regular basis. I did that, tipping well and they took great care of me (and by extension, my clients).
 
Also, LE isn't setting up stings at higher-end hotels. You can save yourself a ton of grief just by being smart about where you stay or where you're going.

I also recommend getting into the varied ethnic bones of the city. Polish, Irish, Asian, Black, Czech, etc.
 
Chicago is thankfully still a city of very old, somewhat inclusive neighborhoods and along with that comes amazing food and interesting little nooks & crannies to explore.

Of course it does: A string of consistent, quality reviews on Daddy's means everything in this industry.
 
It's not a guarantee, but it's the closest thing running. At least you can mark a guy like that off the 'working for the fuzz' list.

Clearly, fashion is subjective.
 
Also, take into account that most people don't fit properly into their jackets and tuxedos, making what should be a handsome outfit look frumpy or odd.
 
Not everything has to be bespoke to look like a million dollars: You just have to have the right tailor

A tuxedo is an item that can often be found in a consignment shop. Plan ahead and look in high end consignment shops. You can obtain a quality tux that will last for years after investing a few dollars in tailoring. A used rental will pay for itself once used twice. In summer (only summer!) a white dinner jacket can look sharp with the same pants, shirt, studs, and cummerbund from your tuxedo. Also, do formal wear justice and get patent leather shoes.
Proudly submitted thoughts from an unabashed traditionalist!

No matter how you decide to handle it, I'm sorry you're dealing with it.
 
We should be past these things in this day and age, but we're not. Sadly, I don't think there's a silver bullet for ignorance.
