Scotty

So I went for it. It’s him. Even cuter than the pics. Perfect body. Total sweetheart. Sober now to those of you concerned about meltdowns. I’d say it’s a solid 9 and it’s beautiful.

Yes, you read the right, lap dance!
I got that from him a couple times years ago when he was in WeHo. It was actually hot af and he did some things that surprised me. BUT he was in WAY better shape back then. When i last saw him a couple years ago in the garage he had thickened up quite a bit.

No No No No No No No. To the next person who comes looking wondering about this guy just do yourself a favor and RUN AWAY.
I honestly didn't know it could get this bad out there. Definitely my new worst massage ever. It's my own fault, I read the feedback above first and I guess I will still curious about this supposedly "amazing" cock. It was not amazing. It was not big. It was hard and uncut that's about all that was accurate in that description. BTW he doesnt live in that apartment building mentioned above anymore, now he stays in a guest house and has to meet you outside ON THE CORNER. I know I know. The warning signs were all there. Ugh. At least it was hella cheap. Also the pictures in his had must be at least 10 years old. And who ever wrote those reviews must have been held captive and forced to write them. This guy is not that handsome, especially by LA standards, but no sane person wrote that this guy is so handsome they could look at him all day. Anyway, please do yourself and favor and go with your next choice.

I found Anthony to be very caring and gentle and tender.

He also has an escort ad but doesn't seem to advertise in Vegas.

I too think a lot of people take it this way, but I don’t think they necessarily should. YMMV can very well be about how the masseur is feeling at the particular day: (1) more or less sexual active at the time; (2) multiple clients in the same day; (3) current relationship status and current agreement with partner. Sure, personal chemistry and attraction is part of this but there are often variables completely unrelated to the client.
 
What I have found is that if you are respectful to the masseur and treat him well (let him lead with extras and mutual touch— please no groping), your mileage will generally go a very long way.

Good flag @RubMyThighs
I can’t imagine being tempted by this ad at all.
Like wanting a last minute massage makes me a bad person. Next.

To me YMMV literally always reads as “i had a sexy time but I’m kinda cute so you might not if you’re not cute like me”

It depends on your availability and when you are looking to meet. If it later that day maybe a couple hours. If you are planning on advance, at the end of the day or next morning. Just make sure your message is concise, don't have too much expectations for a reply back to a "Hi, how are you" message.

Agree on the pass. He doesn’t want to be doing what he’s doing.

Hard pass on this guy....so so massage, forgettable experience (2+ years ago)....

he'll do nude for $60. but i don't think there is any h/e. he gives a great massage. i'd skip the add-on...and just stay with the massage. nothing negative about him...i'd just stick with a fantastic legit massage.

Don’t do it. Total Waste of money unless you’re writing a book about comical experiences with masseurs.

I tried this experience. It was very unique and intense. He really manhandles and contorts you into some pretty amazing positions, more so than at Thai spas I've been too. I was really impressed that he got rid of some kinks that had been lingering for a few weeks. He is a yogi and healer so while there were definitely some sensual moments it did not get erotic, more tantric with some acknowledgement of the sex organs but not giving them necessarily sexual attention if that makes sense. I really wasn't looking for it to go erotic, so in hindsight there were a few opportunities where I could have easily made a play to show more erotic interest and who knows. The session took place in a room he rents above a spa, which also lends to the legit, healing nature of the session. If you are a fan of Thai bodywork I would definitely give him a try but if getting off is important to you I wouldn't go in with those expectations.

Wow. Thank you all so much. I really appreciate the input and time you guys took. ?
I especially found something that hit home in what you guys said @Mocha @MrMattBig @rvwnsd @marylander1940 and @Benjamin_Nicholas
I'm definitely feeling better and less conflicted about contacting him now.
I just bought the plane ticket the other day, the trip is in July and I will definitely report back and let you all know how it went.
 
Thanks again, team!

True...or the least, he can let those feelings exist during the session, in the moment and fantasy, but keep it in perspective.
 
...And even if it was a date. I’ve had so many out of this world sessions with guys (free and paid), and they still end up never seeing me again after the 1st or 2nd time. It may not be a flat out no reply to messages, but they may play the busy card, or only meet if it’s convenient for them (such as, I must host).
 
I met a guy in Nashville who was very into me. Muscles, tattoos, gave head like no tomorrow. He was all into me, asking if I’d consider seeing someone special...but I was moving at the time. However, I had made several subsequent visits to the area since, but haven’t seen him since. Every time we’d try to meet up, he’d drift off.
 
I don’t know if @Scotty is new to all this, but the gay lifestyle can be very flighty. I’ve been doing guys since 2003, and let me tell you...the apps and social media of today has made it harder than ever to keep up with dates, despite it being so easy to connect with everyone.
 
They can’t reply to texts, because they’re so busy Twi-nsta-booking. That’s no jab at any of us who stay busy on social media, but it’s really true that many guys don’t need to text you back, because they’re getting their social needs via those outlets. That’s why I said, you can’t take everyone you meet with a social media profile seriously. I learned that the hard, hard, HARD way last month.
 
Even though escorting is supposed to be business and professional, and not the stereotypical gay “scene”, it’s still the gay lifestyle. Hard as it may seem...try not to get whipped on the 1st or 2nd meet. Once you start getting into meets 3 and 4, then you know you’ve got a regular on your side.

Good point specially for a first encounter.
 
I don't know much about @Scotty because he just joined the forum but we all have good and bad baggage and sometimes we can't help feeling a special connection with someone we just met. Maybe he had other experiences with masseurs that weren't as pleasant, or the fact of hiring was a treat for him. Even if for some it's nothing but a transaction, it's a hell of an intimate moment between masseur and client and he felt hurt because he didn't even got a a reply. I don't share his feelings but it's understandable!

While I know it is human nature. Gentle reminder that as intimate as a session may be, and as sincere as both parties may appear, it is not a date and you should remove your feelings. Enjoy it for what it is, but check your feelings at the door.

Not to detract from the main thread but I appreciate what you wrote @Benjamin_Nicholas .
 
Like you, I don’t care about PC usage. I chose the term deliberately because I wanted to highlight the difference in manners and expectations and convey that it may be old-fashioned; I wouldn’t apply the term to people.
 
I would not say that all people of Asian ethnicity or all people in Asia are very polite. IME the Japanese and Thai people still display exquisite manners in public and private. I have however seen astonishing displays of rudeness and appalling bad manners by people in China and Vietnam.

First off, I know how you feel. I had the same thing happen to me in Las Vegas with a guy, except we had spent 5 days together. Usually when the no replies start coming in, it’s not a good sign.
 
However, I think you might be jumping the gun just a little bit. You met a professional one time. This was not a 1st date, or audition for the bachelor tv show. You shouldn’t allow your feelings to be hurt or to be torn. The nature of the business is: you call, you meet, you pay/or get paid for the service you want. Hopefully a good service. That’s all that matters. Anything afterwards is no obligation. There’s no guarantee of a future encounter.
 
The only time you should be annoyed is if the guy flaked or stood you up on the next meeting. But at this point, there is non arranged yet.
 
And by the way...in my experience, anytime someone says to you in person to follow them on Instagram/Facebook...they’re just attention whores. I would have given you my business card instead, and said call me next time you’re in town.
 
I went on a couple of dates (one which included sex) with one guy some years ago, and he wanted me to friend him on facebook. Yet all the while, he had no intention on going on a 3rd date. Let’s just say we didn’t remain Facebook friends for long. Anybody I date who thinks they’re going to play games with me, and think I’m going to sit around and Kiki it up with them and give them “likes” on Facebook, end up blocking me once I call their asses out and embarrass them.
 
But, I’m working on getting away from all that nonsense. After this last situation, I’m not falling for anybody else via social media. If they ain’t supporting my endeavors, they can get the hell on after we fuck for all I care. Ain’t got time to worrying about some MOFO who’s not contributing anything useful to my lifestyle.
 
 
Google the social media definition of, orbiting: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.teenvogue.com/story/orbiting-is-the-new-breakup-habit-thats-worse-than-ghosting/amp

Sounds like you had a great experience!
 

It even sounds like you could potentially have another great experience in the future!
 

That was very nice of you.
 

That was possibly not very nice of him, but at the same time he might not want to carry on the conversation with you. At this point, it would have been a good idea to stop contacting him until you were back in his area and were ready to book another massage with him.
 
However, not all good ideas come to fruition and so

This might have seemed like a good idea in the heat of the moment, but I assure you it wasn't. He didn't want to have a conversation with you unless it pertained to booking another massage. That's why he did not reply to the first "thank you" text.
 

I'm not surprised by this.
 

I understand why your feelings were hurt and it appears that you had the very best of intentions, but take a step back. You do not know one another. For all he knows, you are a clingy, stalker-in-training who won't leave him alone. That's not to say you are, but it is to say that he is setting some boundaries. The boundaries are "text me when you are ready to book a massage."
 

Good!
 

Then send him a text to the effect of "Hey, this is Scotty. We had a great massage session on xx/xx/xxxx. I'm in town and would like to book another session on xx/xx/xxx at xx:xx or on xx/xx/xxxx at xx:xx. Do you have availability?" And that's it.
 

I don't think pitiful is the right word, nor do I think it is chasing after him if (and only if) you keep the text about booking a sensual massage. Don't mention the unanswered texts, the thing that was coming up for him, his Instagram, or anything else that is unrelated to booking a sensual massage.
 

If you want a massage from him, then reach out to him again.
 

Let go of the unanswered texts.
 
One last thing: There are massage therapists and escorts who like conversing with clients outside of meet-ups. It can be hard to determine who is OK with these offline conversations and who isn't. You just have to take them on a case-by-case basis.
 
PS: I hope you have another fun massage with this guy. Keep us posted

I agree with the above... I never reply with a thank-you for the thank-you note... Life is just too short. On the other hand I bet he'd be up for seeing you again... so reach out!

Maybe he was busy or just forgot to reply, I wouldn't worry much about it.
 
Send him a text: "I'll be back in town week. Will you be available on Wednesday afternoon for another session? I'm sure he'll reply to that text, maybe he's afraid of creating a pen pal relationship.
 
 

 
Exactly! Before guys would call and make plans in 2 minutes now it takes endless texting for hours...
