That's a Rentmasseur link -- not Rentmen. 

Wishful thinking? 😚

Haha. Yes, that's probably it. I think it was because I was checking how many providers in the area both have a Rentmasseur and Rentmen ad. There's definitely a few but he wasn't one. Either way I think I'll give him a try

Anyone have experience with Travis in Tampa? Seems like a nice guy, skilled, and there's a couple of positive posts here from a few years ago, but there's not much detail.

He works out of his chiropractor's office and his posting on RM lists only Therapeutic massages, but the description has me wondering if there's any extras. I truly appreciate the technical massage side of things,and have no doubt a therapeutic massage can be "AMAZING" and "mind-blowing," but I do like my massages with sensual aspects to them in the end.

If anyone has any experience either way, let me know here or via PM. Thanks

Travis - Rentmen

Travis - Masseurfinder

St. Augustine is a tiny city - if you can even call it that - and St John's County is full of new, sprawling suburbs full of the well-off and straight laced. It's not exactly bustling. 

Jacksonville is just up the road (30-50min depending on the area), but unfortunately the best local i.m.o., Christopher, has sadly left us for brighter lights elsewhere. Jax does get a handful of visiting providers on a regular basis, so always check there.

If you get desperate enough, get in a car and drive the 100mi to Orlando. It's got the most providers in the area, and I guess in theory you can do a roundtrip in an evening if the traffic isn't a disaster (or shell out for one of them to come to you)

Something is amiss in this ad. Claims to have 3 years experience, yet he created his ad in 2018.

Wondering if anyone has had an encounter with him?

If you're were talking about the years of experience under the "My Experience" tab, my guess would be the discrepancy might be down to the fact that that's probably a self-reported number and doesn't update itself like it can with someone's age based on a birthday. So he might've just overlooked updating it. 

His "About Me" does says five years experience, so with a start in 2018, looks like he needs to update that one as well to six for 2024 soon

Either way, thanks for bringing him to our attention!

Ad popped up for this beautiful guy Leo from Miami Beach traveling here to Jacksonville. Just seeing if anybody has had any experience with him since there's no reviews of him on MF or in the forums.

https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/44529/

Couple things I'm considering, some which give me pause:

Plusses: Well, just look at him.

Minuses: No reviews. Extremely generic wording in ad. Lists Miami Beach as homebase but in ad says he's just visiting for "some days". Don't want to overthink the 40% off second massage offer, but that's a very steep discount to entice people to return, so is there a catch?

Can't tell if it's a brand new ad, which is one slightly frustrating thing with MF.

Thanks guys!

Looks like he's on tour again. Any info on this guy would be much appreciated.

Yeah, I saw him coming through my area next week and there's some questions, some minor red flag things. The sporadic reviews are one. The prices a little high for the area, but it's the going $180 for 60min to $280 for 90min is a bit odd, as most simply do a 50% bump over 60min for 90min or even have a discount for a longer session. This flags him to me as someone who might not be so experienced with this?

As for the Wyoming thing, I met up with a British masseur doing a cross country road trip and he had set his home location to Idaho, which confused me. But he said he did because if you set it to a bigger place, you get constant messages from locals. Maybe that's the reason?

Either way, if anybody has any positive info on him, that would be great, because as of now, I'm leaning towards sadly taking a miss. 

Looks like he lowered his 90min price to $270. I wonder if he reads these forums 😉 But his trip seemingly is stalled in Texas and never made it to the East Coast, so unfortunately my curiosity couldn't get the better of me this time to let you all know. But if there any Texans out there who might know...

As opposed to 6'1" and smooth in San Diego, on the East Coast he's now 5'9" and hairy (which tracks more with his pictures). Between this, that response, the fact he doesn't have a travel plan listed but just pops up randomly across the country, and those negative reviews, he just seems a bit messy to deal with. A shame, really. 

He's definitely Top 2 for me. Have always snagged a session with him on his way through town. I don't think he's for everyone but let me go through the positives:

- Always has his table, seemingly professional-level massage.

- I love beards and a nice bit of hair, so he checks that box. Also, amazing set of tattoos all over. Definitely isn't cookie-cutter attractive, but if you're into that low-key, granola-loving alternative, outdoorsy vibe, he grows on you. 

- His personality is also not conventional, and definitely not a gym jock, athletic type. I find him quite smart and once talking, we've had deep, far-ranging discussions on topics that probably don't come up often on a massage table. 

- I've seen him personally shower, so not sure where that idea comes from.

I say give it a shot. Just relax and be yourself, and he should respond in-kind.
