Some of those pics are showing an unappealing CHUNKINESS! Is in the camera angle?

Looks like a newbie. In town beginning today. Anyone with intel? Thanks

Starting a new thread as I could find no recent commentary/
Received a 60 minute massage session from provider a few weeks ago in Manhattan. Setting up the session was easy and it occurred on a perfectly comfortable mat on the floor of small flat on the Lower East  Side. Can's manipulations suggest a substantial amount of training. And, his in person presence is better than his MFinder digital appearance. One does get the sense that he'd rather be doing something else than massage; I can't fault him for that.

no intel but definitely interested.  He has an expired rentmen profile too: https://rent.men/ArmenianDudeXL
 

B+ for massage, D for ambience, A for ease of scheduling. NOT A $200 VALUE,  rather $130 or so due non-ambience. Fabio should consider upping his game in appearance and ambience.
Had a 60 minute, all-therapeutic in-call to Fabio's Hells' Kitchen apartment this week, in a second bedroom, on a table inches away from a queen-sized bed, and provider in shorts.
I agree in part and disagree in part with both @Matt Johnson and @musclestuduws. Provider certainly received some training because I told him my legs were in need of attention and he started with vigorous passive stretching of my legs and hips. Good so far. Remainder of the massage was deep-tissue, and trigger-point, but saltatory as times. He used Biotone (the pink tube) which is my preferred lotion. He massaged my feet and hands to my satisfaction.
Alas, provider presented not as well groomed -- sort of  it's Sunday and I'm at home in shorts eating chips and watching TV way -- nor as muscular as he appears in the posted pics; overly hairy, sloppy in dress; seems +5 yard older as well. His roommate was in another room, but I did  not see that person. A mildly unpleasant floral room-freshener scent was noticeable and cooking smells lingered around the nearby kitchen. The paper table sheet left much to be desired as well as the kaleidoscopic room lighting.
I will not repeat. [end]

Fire in the hole…BOOM!
Don’t take a home equity loan to fund a weekend with him though

Recently received a 60 minute massage, out-call to me, from provider Faraon at $230. Scheduling the session was easy and provider arrived on time.
Massage itself was a solid B. In my opinion, provider's lack of rhythm in his strokes suggests a lack of official training. Despite that assertion, provider's technique shows enough practical experience to meet expectations of most clients hiring through the site. Here's the rub though--most of his RMass pics (examples attached) are misleading in that he's not nearly as muscular as shown in his pics. In fact, the rounded belly and overall lack of muscle-tone was unappealing. Faraon DOES have youth on his side--a youth that ignores the mirror's message. [end]
 

With reference to @dutchal comment...anyone planning on taking one for the NYC team, and reporting back promptly? 🤩

Pleased to report that I’ve taken (another) one for the team. 
Hired RMass Irongrip a few weeks ago for a 60 min massage at $250. Profile pics accurately matched the person that appeared at the door, all lean, muscled, smooth, and cut. His handsome face is perforated by unexpectedly kind eyes. Apparently he’s an Irish-Italian mix, which explains the fair skin and the dark hair. Solid B-grade massage -- with MT and with HE but lacking sensual elements -- despite no official massage training. 
Provider identifies as heterosexual, expressing no noticeable dissonance between that identity and the RMass presence on the premise that the services offered are merely a method of making great money with less effort than required by his construction day-job.
If you gravitate towards red-neck looks, and/or to fellows recovering from residency on the wrong side of the tracks, Irongrip/Connor nicely fits the bill, outer-borough accent included. 
I can’t say with certainty if I would hire Irongrip again. I will say that Connor is one mouthwateringly HOT dude. And I might just relent. [end]

Alex can deliver a real therapeutic massage.

Too much sun; insufficient moisturizer. That's just an aside. Excellence of the massage and personality more than compensates.

Inquiring minds...are...well inquiring about results?

Punchline:  Would repeat, but know the guardrails.
Details:  So, I had the same experience with how sharp-tempered he can be when messaging.  One of the rudest guys i've ever messaged with, was instantly aggravated when I was asking some basic but fair questions (imho) for a first hire. I gave up a few times trying to schedule because of the attitude.
But I persevered (he was just too hot for me to ignore). As has been written here, and he says in his profile, you better get straight to the point or he will become unduly annoyed in a matter of seconds. His fuse for what he considers "time wasters" is incredibly short, so beware.  Be prepared to text: i'd like an appointment on this day, time, etc.  And also be prepared to pay a downpayment (which I usually don't do, but made an exception). 
After going back and forth on wondering if he is worth it or not, I finally took the plunge. In person, he is friendlier and more service-oriented, but definitely not into banter and is quite "flat", which is fine, but don't expect some bubbly charmer. It's not his personality, and given his other attributes, he doesn't need to be particularly warm or friendly. His body is just as in the pics. Incredible!  Probably the hottest body I've witnessed on a masseur. He was never at full mast, but well endowed as well. 
I often enjoy chatting with my masseurs, but "when you know you know", so I just kept my mouth mostly shut this time.  He's just a quiet guy and not into conversation.  So depends what you are looking for - I know what providers are up for chit chat, cocksize chat, and me comparing with them (kinks of mine) and which will not. He's not one I would push the envelope with.
The massage is very good, the HE and flexing are very mechanical. It reminded me of what it would be like if Christian Bale (with that incredibly fit and hairless-to-the-point-of-plastic body was giving me a massage in American Psycho (remember that seen where he's flexing while screwing), but no murder scene at the end (thankfully).  
I'd repeat when I'm in the mood for what he's offering. 
 

I should have known better (including NOT hiring an uncut provider). While Bruno is comely in appearance, obviously has a brain, and is pleasant to interact with, the massage skills are largely absent.
Session occurred in an unremarkable 4th floor walk-up in Hell's Kitchen; need I say more. Like many other providers, massage is a secondary source of income for one or more loftier purposes. Kudos to him. At $200, for 60 minutes -- actually more like 45 minutes -- shame on me. I will not be repeating and suggest that others exercise more discretion that I did.

Anyone willing to share knowledge of his rates, massage AND otherwise.
I hired him for massage right before COVID started, and he was new to the massage world. Wondering if his massage skills have improved in 5 years. Thanks.

Does that tool even get hard...or stay hard? Oi!

"Dud" is the word that best characterizes my March 2025 encounter with CroatiaBixXx.
I was prepared to spend 8 Benjamins, but provider just could not perform as promised in his ad copy. And I'm no frog, in case you were wondering. He is smaller in stature than his pics suggest and significantly less muscular. The hotel room in which he hosted was small, and made smaller still by the suitcase, clothes, and other items liberally strewn across the room. Bathroom was equally untidy with heaps of towels and toiletries littering room. He seems to visit the NYC quite often, so ignore his only-here-for-a-few-days shtick.
Many better skilled providers are available in NYC than this "Croatia" imposter at the same or lesser price-point. CroatiaBigXx has mastered the art of puffery. Caveat emptor. 

Well, I answered my own challenge and took one for the NYC Team! I'm happy to have done so.
His RMass pics accurately depict the product offered for hire. His workout consists mostly of Cross-Fit routines and the body type that arises from those workouts is appealing -- athletic and well-proportioned in HectorJhon's case, and a far cry from the overly-pumped appearance of so many other Latino fellows. Provider's pleasant demeanor and enthusiasm more that compensated for his modest massage skills.
While, to his credit, he traveled with a table, the table is unfortunately too large for the cramped hotel room he booked for this May/June 2025 visit. As I write this I think fondly of his magnificent legs, hips, and pectorals. Your fluency in Spanish of the Venezuelan variety will no doubt enhance your experience. If HectorJohn is your type, I say give him a try.
