There's some variation in age and shape (Kabalk has some gorgeous daddies among its customers) but even those do have a chip on their shoulders. it's literally a gay food chain with 'padrão' guys firmly sit atop the mountain. In my Brazilian experience, 'padrão' gays tend to flock together and are openly dismissive of non-'padrão' guys. Literally, standard, but, in gay slang, 'padrão' means white, fit and young gay guys. Most of its patronage are what Brazilians call 'padrão'. In that regard, Kabalk is a low interaction place, at best.
If they see action around them, they tend to engage more. Simply put, gay guys are a primary bunch. I rate bathhouses solely on what I call levels of intimate interaction.
