DiscreetHungBrooklyn88

Hey guys finally trying to participate more in the community versus just benefiting from all of your helpful reviews. 
 
this guy is very special. Lovely energy, a true healer. I can only speak to his Brooklyn space but I trust the manhattan one is equally as clean and private and welcoming. He will give you a discount on a 5-8 pack of massages if you become a regular. Easy to communicate and schedule with. Kind of guy you can easily imagine being buddies with too.
 
He is an expert in a special lighter touch version of massage and is often doing new trainings and expanding his skill set. If you let him know what you prefer and enjoy he’s extremely accommodating and also always great at using his instincts and expertise. He knows I like deeper touch so he has integrated his unique expertise with what I like and I’ve loved it. 
 
We don't have a ton of great options down here near Prospect Park so he is literally a treasure and we are so lucky to have him nearby. I would absolutely make the trip to Manhattan to see him if for any reason he ever closed down the Brooklyn location 
 
absolutely amazing professional, and if the chemistry and communication is right there can absolutely be sensual elements (but the focus is truly healing intuitive body work)

Okay wow this is extremely validating. 
 
I am so new to this community and had seen the great reviews here and was messaging him texting to schedule a first visit and clarify questions. I am an extremely friendly texter and respectful and never rude (at least I like to think so). When I tried to schedule a week or two in advance he was extremely cold and dismissive and I had a funny gut instinct sometime felt off but decided to ignore it. Then I tried to reach out to him another time (following his instruction) to schedule the same day and when it didn’t work out, he insulted me in a very cruel way and blocked me. I was really worried I had committed some faux pas and not realized it and felt terrible, but this morning seeing a half dozen others recently had the same experience honestly makes me feel better that it wasn’t something I did and is something about the provider.  

Answering my own question, as I just took the plunge.  Awesome masseur - trained in Thai and Swedish styles.    Loosened up some knots and the extras were delightful!  

Had an amazing massage with Henry. 10/10 highly recommend. Very good deep pressure and clearly well trained. Really tranquil home space and is very good at giving sensual hints throughout but allowing the massage to be the focus and then wonderful extras after the flip. 

His reviews in Deli section are quite favorable.  I see he now has has ad on Rentmasseur.

Has anyone assessed his services as masseur?

Wish I could add something positive here.
Reached out to Karl_Kelso via the number posted. Got a response. Things seemed to be going well.
I asked for his rate. And then the next message from him was saying he didn’t want to meet anymore.
I found the interaction a bit strange considering all the glowing reviews.

I had tried to book in advance and told him I was looking for a date two weeks ahead. He asked me to reach out to him the week of. I then messaged him a few days later to ask if he was available on a specific date and he responded by telling me I clearly do not how to respect boundaries or follow directions and then promptly blocked me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had a similarly weird interaction with him.  I am not sure he wants clients 

I didn't have a positive experience with this provider.  Our schedules were just not connecting and rather than working to find a time he just blocked me.  It was very surprising because we didn't have a bad interaction or anything disrespectful.  It was the only time this happened in my years of hiring professionals.  

I had the same interaction with him- he seems to have a low tolerance on text or messenger. 
 

I had a similar experience — after we couldn’t get schedules to mesh (an issue on his end as much as mine) he blocked me. 

Hi guys, yesterday I received a  massage by https://rentmasseur.com/Greenstarmassage. 
If you are looking for a real therapist that knows how to give a proper massage he is one to consider. I booked a sensual massage and he did so throughout the session without being mechanical or forced. 
I chose his flatiron location. Convenient and immaculate studio. 

I took the plunge.  I'm very happy to recommend him!  His studio is conveniently located in Prospect Park.  Super nice guy and handsome and talented.  He works a lot of muscle groups and incorporates shared breathing.  Feel free to DM for details but I definitely left happy.

Bim is a true find.  Excellent massages skills, very handsome and masculine, deep voice, nice body, calming energy, caring, and lovely sensual elements if you book the Luxe Massage.  I 

Has anyone used this provider?  If so what was your experience?  Thanks.

I was looking around the not-gay part of Massagefinder and saw this guy. https://www.massagefinder.com/massage-therapists/24282/
 
I’m sure there’s a reason he’s not on the gay part of the site, but he serving up a major DILF vibe and his profile references having a “big tool box.” Anyone have any experience?

He has his own website. Located in Chelsea. Description and rates imply therapeutic services.

Saw him today. Strictly therapeutic. Excellent deep tissue massage. Worked on spots that were bothering me. Really knows his stuff. I was fully draped. Nice guy too - good conversation.

Curious if anyone has tried these beautiful men? I’ve worked with Nik before and he’s fantastic — great massage and fun ending.

Has anyone seen Tan recently?  

nothing? 😔

Lol...I think some of my real reviews sound like the "love letters" you say are red flags. 

Alright, guys — let’s cut the oils and get real.
If you've ever booked a massage with another guy (professional or "professional") and something felt off, you’re not alone. The world of male massage providers has its own… let’s say unique flavor of red flags. 🫠
So in the spirit of community service and shared trauma bonding, here’s a short list of things that make me hit “block” faster than you can say “mutual respect”:
Red Flags I’ve Personally Encountered (and maybe you have too) 
Price is either suspiciously low or laughably high
$120 for 90 minutes in a private room? Or $250 for a “healing touch” from someone who still types “ur” in business texts? Something ain’t adding up.
Reviews that read like love letters
“It changed my life,” “I transcended time,” “I’ve seen him 37 times, and he’s changed my life.” Cool. But is every reviewer in a long-term situationship with him?
Photos look like they’re from three different decades
One’s clearly from 2008. Another’s a gym selfie with a filter that doesn’t exist anymore. And then there’s a headless torso that looks AI-generated. Who am I booking, exactly? Benjamin Button?
Requests a deposit before even confirming anything real
Especially when he says, “I don’t hold spots without deposits, bro.” Meanwhile, he’s texting from a prepaid number with no website and no proof of life since 2021.
Turns hostile when you ask basic questions
If asking about rates, boundaries, or hygiene suddenly triggers a 3-paragraph rant about “fake clients wasting time,” run. You're not the first to dip.
Barely trained, but acts like he's booked at Canyon Ranch
“I don’t have certification but I have natural hands and incredible intuition.” Okay Gandalf, but can you find a muscle group?
So here’s the ask:
What are YOUR massage red flags — specifically in the male-to-male scene?
Have you had a weird vibe turn into a great experience? Or ignored the warning signs and ended up wishing you could time travel back to 10 minutes before you texted “Sounds good”?
Let’s hear the stories. The cautionary tales. The unexpectedly great ones.
(And yes, if the massage started awkward and ended in a spiritual awakening, we want those too.)
