I’ll report one of these days. His and my schedules have not aligned yet, but I do have him on the list of masseurs to try out.

Regarding the bare minimum question - yes. Why advertise on RentMasseur at all.

Bump!

Last sentence is true and I agree. No right or wrong. Just personal opinions. Oh — truth be told (from my POV - for the LA market), it’s the legit spas who are competing with these RMasseurs for the male massage market. A RMasseur former acquaintance of mine tried the legit “mobile massage” route (Soothe&Zeel) and after a month, he went back to RMasseur. For the $$$. He legitimately knows how to massage but the $$ from being a “freelance masseur” (his spiel on grindr) outweighs being employed by burke williams.

And that is what I am seeing in the Los Angeles market (in general/not all) — fees are now astronomical (in my eyes). This is just from a Rentmasseur/masseurfinder POV. I do not know the escort/Rentmen side, i have not (yet?) partaken in that sub-branch.

Just my 2 cents. Or what I do now. I’ve read and contributed to various “tipping” threads here in the forums throughout the 2-3 years since I’ve joined. I usually tip earlier when this hobby was new to me, but lately, it’s just the advertised/quoted rate now. I’m located in Los Angeles, if that matters. The $120/60min has ballooned (I started late 2021) to $150 (2022/2023) and now $160/$180 and even $200 for your basic 60mins. At a spa… a masseur that does not advertise on RMasseur of Masseurfinder (or any other gay massage site) - I would tip them almost to the level of an independent. Since they get only a % of what I actually paid at the lobby. At a spa … but he advertises in M4M websites and all the independent sensual/erotic masseurs (real masseurs and the rub-and-tuggers) —- their published and quoted rates only. I have a good paying job but $180/$200 an hour … i am not a lawyer or a doctor or whatever job out there that pays this much per hour. Rent and supplies, yes it’s the masseur’s overhead but for me (for me, my opinion)… the high price now is maybe due to inflation and it might be because I have paid $180-$200 for their $150 price tag then, which makes them energized to now basically pricing themselves at $200 Since they already get it and most are paying. long post made short - I only pay the independents their advertised/quoted price.

That was my experience as well. But that was when they first opened. Maybe he has learned that hiring off of rentmasseur “may” mean something more. Any Oliver experiences? Or what’s his name here (he moonlights at the Silverlake thai gay spa as well). The one with the glasses.

Real

Ad is up. I really need to make a San Francisco trip 😂

Used to go by Daniel_Asn - you can search the few threads on him (I can’t seem to be able to paste the threads right now). Been meaning to check him out but haven’t gotten the chance.

Hello @massagenewbie84 - i’ll send you a DM.

I second what TooSchoolForCool has mentioned. Tight bod, fantastic facial features and the massage was good. It is him (profile pictures).

I went to him once during the summer — he travels (not for work) a lot so his responses might be delayed. Best to check if his profile is online or at least active recently. The pictures are of him. That’s him. B+ to A massage. It’s a real massage and not just a rub. He started massaging in a jock strap but I could have asked for him to go sans underwear from the get go (is what he told me). Plenty of good extras though best to expect YMMV. I might have caught him at a good time. West Hollywood apartment, street parking

You are better off getting him via rentmen or for that purpose. I hired him as a masseur (via rentmasseur) when he was here in Los Angeles a few weeks back and the massage was where you wished you would have just gone to a local legit spa. It was more fun, fooling around and play (sans FS - though FS via RMasseur might be YMMV) than an actual massage … barest of oil/loton rub. He has an OF as well. I, personally, won’t book him as a masseur if he’s in the area again.

I just saw his ad - any forum friends tried him out yet?

Name profile - same person https://rentmasseur.com/Darkskinasianhot

@SamMiller213’s opening paragraph sums it up. There are your MF/RM stalwarts but even then, these providers are possibly not in the right head (pun intended) anymore. I might go back to my Thai aunties for the legit massages and will check out the examples above on other therapists.

Any other updates on the other male masseurs at this place? The other Thai place - Thai Wellness - has an active thread (perhaps due to the “activity”). Just curious, months after. Thank you, fellow forum friends.

For me, just an oil rub … then mechanical dot dot dot. He is raking it in, from what he subtlely let slip. I saw him at his apartment in OC within this year. I have been using this phrase a lot lately with these masseurs — you take what it is and what it can only be. Maybe ymmv now, who knows i haven’t been back he is a cute one though

Holy cow. That will be the end of my hobby if ever massage prices becomes like that.

Reporting! Saw him last night. Therapeutic was not selected in his profile — so the massage was a deeper swedish-esque motion. A case of “Rmen advertising on RMasseur” situation. He tries. A bit chatty but friendly. Oh, it was a bed massage at a Koreatown hotel. Traveller. A bit naive and a new transplant from his country but that is not what I am reviewing. What i mentioned above in my earlier post — all yes. Everything but FS. The pictures are him BUT the face in the photos are super (smoothly) filtered. Body was awesome - the pics are true. Oh, not 5’10”. Maybe 5’8” at most? Not sure but he does not look 5’10”. It’s him though so it’s not 100% catfish. He looks early 30’s but when we started talking and his mannerisms … ah yes, late 20’s. And I was correct. English is not his strong suit so please talk slowly in person to him. And he smokes. I smoke as well so that wasn’t a problem. Just ask him “do you smoke? Yes? Do you mind brushing your teeth first or chew gum?” if kissing is an ok activity for you. You take what it is and what it can only be. *moderators, if I mentioned something that is not allowed, please let me know and I will edit the post*

I got the same quote. I might (and will) ask directly, via text, if MT, MN, HE and more is included. But, knowing that he does not have therapeutic in the massage style option and only sensual/erotic checked (and a RMen account) then perhaps all are included, excluding “that”/fs.

Bump! Hopefully a good masseur, i’ll probably book out of RMasseur if massage skills are great. Usually…usually…if they have both accounts it is just the basic extras if booked RMass, which fine. Eye candy and all. He has a new rentmen ad out as well.

Actually found the IG account he steals picture from … just search joojake. if links or info not allowed moderator, please delete my message. these picture thieves should just post their own…we/i’ll still book them for massages if the massages are good.

Sigh. I agree on not liking the new $200 minimum. Some, in my area (City of Angels) are still at $150-$180 range but talks of extras (via the texting phase) tends to up up the $ already. Inflation hits both sides: client and provider. Some of the legit masseurs that (still) provide extras are slowly climbing to this price point as well.
