Totally agree. I’m new to seeing masseurs. But am lucky enough to find two, right off the bat, that I really like and who are quite generous. (I had some help from this forum finding these masseurs.) My willingness to pay (economic concept) for their services is definitely higher than what these two masseurs charge - so I set my own rate for each of them (same rate for each, just in case they know one another 😁), which is above their own rates. I want them to know I appreciate how much work it takes to be EXCELLENT in this business. As another member wrote in a previous post, there are people who are paying those rates if that is what they continue to ask for. I’m one of those people 😁🤷♀️.
