Don't those photos look like they are from a collection of guys to you? Two of them are obviously different persons, if not a third.

How on earth can a masseur think having dog poop in the room is conducive to a relaxing and professional environment?

I read his reply to the negative comment on RentMasseur. He basically acknowledged everything the customer complained about but came up with some super lame defense.

Dayam.. please take one for the team!

He quotes a price of $300 for 90 minutes, seems a bit steep to me for just a massage.

It's not the price of a massage. And if you're looking for one, look elsewhere. Feel free to DM.

If that’s him, he looks hot. Will follow this post and bookmark it for future hire.

So does anyone have any experience to share?

Curious too. At first I thought he's visiting but he didn't state the dates. Maybe he's staying longer?

I attempted to set up something with him twice and twice, he replied to my texts very very late, citing various reasons. I was ready to book but such habits put me off completely.

Yup Daniel is therapeutic only. His style is Thai and uses a lot of stretching and body lifting, foot-stepping. It's a very good massage if that's what you need.

So does it mean you had a YMMV experience with him? Pray tell! ?

He's not straight. Sorry that happened.

“Based on the nature of the massage and the movements and stretches performed, the client must be in a good physical shape (this doesn't mean you have to be hot, or muscular, EVERYONE in btw ages of 21 and 60 are welcome)”

what’s wrong with 60+? Anyone has experience with him?

How do you MT if he wasn't naked?

To be fair, at least he included a variety of pictures from different ages, with the '56' being most current (my guess).

If you look at the SF ads, I can at least point out a dozen providers that are showing pictures from 20 years ago. One masseur I visited 10 years ago is still using the same picture that was outdated back then (I had to have a good hard look at his face when he opened the door...)

More pics for you to have fun with!

Just my 2c, hotels right now in Manhattan are pretty cheap. Does it make sense to rent one out in LIC?

I'd avoid traveling masseurs, especially those coming from 'hot spots'. Just stick to the local ones. Ask them if they have traveled or been in a large crowd gathering recently.

The predominant way of transmitting the virus is still through aerosols exhaled through the nose and mouth. Putting on a mask for both parties is a pre-requisite in reducing the majority of the risks if you really have to see a masseur now.

He sent me a description of what is involved in his three stage massage. Sounds INCREDIBLE, but also conflicts with my COVID precautions:(

How does that conflict with your precautions? No mask or you just aren't getting any massages right now?

Your personal cell phone number is almost as important as your SSN these days. Your name can be reversed searched and it's so easy to hack into your online accounts knowing not much.

The dyslexia in me had me reading Joshua Dallas is giving massages. LOL A man can always dream, can't he?

One more precaution I would add (even though I haven't dipped my toes back yet) is I will be staying away from the traveling masseurs, especially those coming from 'hot spots'. Nowadays when I check RM/MF and I see those masseurs still traveling all over the place, I can't help but smh.

Also, this week I reached out to one of my go-to guys after not having a massage for 4 months to see how he's doing. He has discreetly 're-opened', only seeing a few long term clients but not to anyone else until the state properly okays it. I was tempted but then I am very hesitant pulling the trigger. What if the masseur is exposed after seeing clients and pass it to me and I bring it home and infect my partner??

For some reason, I haven't encountered that many hung masseurs in the bay area, not that I went all out looking for them. I can only remember one that's huge but he's more an escort than masseur (just a rub and tug). Even then, his ad has disappeared. I second that Chad has a nice tool, but also it seems bigger on his smaller frame.

What about Kev/Trey? He wasn't that 'excited' seeing me so I couldn't tell but I remember some members here saying he has a nice package?

Back in college I reached out to a bunch of providers to offer them photo shoots. I didn't even want to trade for massage, I just needed to add photos to my portfolio and thought it could help them market themselves. I was amazed at how many of them felt like the photos didn't matter at all (as long as they could show a pic of their dick to the client.) *shrug*

Right!? You'd think they care more about the content of their ads. The importance of first impression. I am kind of hoping some masseurs will be reading this thread and improve their profile pages, not just pictures but also the text of the introduction.

Amen to the above. Pics that do not look like the masseur are awkward. One provider asked me for a review. Answered all review questions on RM honestly - and he was very offended that I said his pics did not look like him. It was AWKWARD....

 

I don’t mind travel pics - but a clear face with a smile is minimum requirement for me. I have noticed a ton of unkempt bearded faces. Def not my type - but then I’ll see here sometimes where someone is asking about a “hot” masseur, I click the link - and messy beard guy shows up. I am reminded not everyone is into clean cut like me.

 

The LA providers are guys I can usually spot before looking at location. While often beautiful, most look like they are only here because the acting thing isn’t working out. Glamour shots usually indicate someone is not well trained. Not always, but I have a good track record at sorting them out:)

So true about the LA glamor shots observation. I always wonder, does everyone in LA have a portfolio of them? LOL How awesome though if the masseur is dreamy and yet has great skills, both therapeutic and sensual

Since all our massage actions have been suspended, I am killing time browsing the sites and imagining in the not too distant future who I can hire. I can't help but notice how bad some profile pictures are. I mean that's the first impression a masseur will make on me, future potential patron, and a picture says a thousand words! So I wanna know what you guys like to see in those pictures a masseur put up to introduce himself.

For me, I wanna see:

1) A clear and recent face pic. That's the most important. No face pic, no deal. Also some masseurs use pictures from decades ago. I understand that they wanna appear younger but with the quality of phone cameras exponentially better, who are they kidding by putting up pictures from 15 years ago?

2) A couple of shirtless pictures so I will know what to expect. If the masseur has the body to flaunt it, a pic in some sexy underwear will be nice. This also is where MasseurFinder is coming up short these days but not letting the masseurs post shirtless pics.

3) Also very important is I wanna see how the massage table is set up. I wanna see a clean, comfortable, professional environment. I understand rent in SF is high and it's a luxury to have a lot of space. But it's still nice to see a table properly set up with clean sheets etc

What I don't wanna see;

1) A messy room. That implies bad hygiene and unpleasant experience. It's pretty much a deal breaker for me.

2) A million gym selfies and/or travel pics. This is not FB/Insta and not what I am looking for. Maybe they wanna project a well-traveled persona, I don't know?

Anyone wanna chime in?

No, cuz the only comments I value nowadays are the ones posted by this community.
