I'm noticing that an awful lot of the newer masseurs all seem to be working from the same spot in Whittier - at least they are snapping their pics there. And I've seen several of these masseurs also have very, very similar verbiage in their ads. 🤔 Anyway... Whatcha lookin' for @la_connor? Specifics? Has anyone booked with this guy?

Just worked with Colton Grey and had a great time. Genuinely a beautiful guy and human being in general. His pup is cute too! Anyway, while I'm sure YMMV, I would highly recommend messaging him and being genuine, open, honest, and clear about what you're looking for and you'll likely be very pleased - even though we had a miscommunication, he was incredibly thoughtful to address it and work to make it better. If you see this, Colton, great job and great service, man! Definitely would recommend.

I too have been curious about this guy in general. I've reached out to him a couple of times over the years while in Vegas, and he's decently responsive, but communication always drops off and we don't get something scheduled because by the time he gets back to me I'm heading out of town. I haven't tried ahead of time, while I likely should, but it doesn't usually cross my mind until I'm actually in town.

FeelGoodinc - Male Massage & Bodywork in Los Angeles, CA | RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM Gay Masseur FeelGoodinc in Los Angeles, CA offering a wide range of massages ⭐ experienced in therapeutic, sensual... Anyone have any experience? Messaging with the guy now. Just curious if he's crossed y'all's path and if anyone has any first hand experience. Thanks!

I feel like I commented on a previous thread regarding this person. Do not waste your money or your time. While he is incredibly attractive, and the pictures are accurate, he does not have any massage skills whatsoever, and while he promises a rather interactive experience, he does not provide on said experience. Granted, what’s the term, your mileage may vary, but I would not take the chance, especially at the high rates. But that’s just me. I was incredibly disappointed. And I provided him with feedback, and his English is not strong, but it was strong enough to understand what I was saying, and he was not too pleased with my evaluation in person. While I was still polite and professional, I just would not want any of you to encounter the experience I had at such a high price point. When I worked with him, it was less expensive, but still more expensive than most. and that was the last time he was visiting Los Angeles.

I worked with @A_Foxx while he was visiting LA and had an incredible time. I would highly recommend him. Outside of his looks, physique, and other talents, he's a genuinely sweet guy worth investing time, energy, and effort in. That was my experience. He's warm, welcoming, and friendly. We had a great time together.

Having worked with @Allen Dehaan now, twice, I have to say that he is one of THEE BEST guys in the game and if you have an opportunity to work with him, you can consider yourself a lucky guy, trust me. I agree with "the guests" that have commented in kind. Allen is truly so much more than just an incredible provider to work with. He's quality through and through and worth the time, energy, and other efforts and investments you may make in him.

Bumping this back from last year. Anyone know of any local massage therapists by chance. I'm not opposed, but I can only find women in the area. Thanks! Appreciate it!

So, I took the plunge, and therapeutic only, but very good. Recently moved to the South Bay / Southern California. Looking to become a graphic designer in the new year. Internationally trained and has worked at hotels overseas in spas. Mostly solid skill set. Would see again. Said he's seen two other clients since posting his ad. Possibly a YMMV situation as he does identify as bi? No upsell. Very easy to communicate with via text. Would reach out to him and ask questions if you're interested. Anyway, just wanting to circle back and say that I would recommend if you're in the South Bay and just seeking a therapeutic massage, otherwise, keep movin'. That is all. Thanks y'all!

That's a helpful piece of info. Thank you, @RubMyThighs! Appreciate it!

Hermosabeach | RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM Male Masseur Hermosabeach in Redondo Beach, CA: offering M4M Massage, therapeutic, sensual, erotic, swedish... Hey guys! I tried looking through the forum to see if anyone was familiar with Ali, but I was not able to find anything, but maybe I did not have the correct search parameters. Anyone recognize him? Seems he just set up his ad on 12 Oct 2024, and he has zero reviews. Also, he's only denoted offering Therapeutic at current which seems quite odd anymore for RM ads. Anyway, any knowledge or assistance, as always, on the forum, or via DM, is always greatly appreciated. Thank you! Appreciate it!

I did not take the plunge, but am happy to share details of what I was able to find out through back and forth attempts at coordination with "Max." Reminder, these are valid of my conversation from today's date, but hopefully give you a benchmark from which to start or get an idea. He lives in Downtown LA, and works from home on a table. Street parking is available and he can also provide parking. Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sport, Spicy, & Spicy+ are offered all at the same requested donation of 60 minutes for $160, 90 minutes for $230, and 120 minutes for $300. Seems to likely be English as a second language. Communication was choppy and grammar was akin to ESL. Very polite. Very helpful. Very engaging. Availability ranged upon the day. That's as far as it got. Descriptions of differences between massage types was only defined as "different techniques." Not a whole lot to go on, but more than we've had to this point. Hope it helps some.

Yeah. He did request payment before the service began (I forgot that) and I was taken aback at that as well. Again. Definitely. Avoid, guys.

I'm hoping to connect with him since Im still chasing a solid, genuine local legit massage guy who is also easy on the eyes. Good to know on the strong. And seems to find trouble spots and knots and focuses on them? In your experience, @wallnut?

Funny. Similar-ish situation, kinda, I guess? Reached out on 9/9, heard back and booked an appointment for the following day, 9/10. Very, very limited availability mind you. Reached out to him the following afternoon a few hours ahead of our evening appointment to confirm. He cancelled due to an injury sustained during his workout at the gym the night before. Told me he would reach out in a few days to reschedule. I gave it the rest of the week (9/11, 12, 13) and the weekend, and heard nothing back. I have reached out three times since to rebook. Crickets. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

He's now set up shop in the Long Beach / Lakewood / Belmont Shore area of Southern California and informed me he's making the move out this way more permanently. I booked at the lowest rate he was quoting at the time $120 for 60 minutes - which seems to be the same at current, but through conversation with him, he learned from his former yoga instructor in Boston who had also never received formal training. He gave me the same upgrade pitch to Lomi Lomi ($80) when I arrived and I declined as it was our first experience together and I told him I would consider it were we to work together in the future. The space he is/was working out of seemed to be an Airbnb adjacent flop pad more than anything with trash bags by the door waiting to go out and a replay of an old foorball game on the TV. He said he would put on some relaxing music - that never happened. His table was setup in the middle of the room and the room had no curtains or window coverings and it was the middle of the day so it was full brightness - not relaxing at all, even though I was face down. I ended the massaged about 35 minutes into the 60 and informed him that he needed to consider taking some refresher courses in massage before booking additional clients as he had wasted my time and was wasting his time as well. I left in more discomfort than I had arrived in. My local legit massage guy moved to Denver so I was hopeful this guy might be the answer and that was absolutely not the case. No dice. Please, do not waste your time. If you have worked with him in the past and had a positive experience, this guy is definitely no longer that guy. Be it the pandemic or life in general, I am not sure, but something has definitely changed and this guy is to be avoided. At least for the foreseeable future. I am very confident he means well, but as previously referenced, he is definitely straight and is gay baiting best I can tell from our conversation, and has zero current skills to provide in a legitimate and assistive nature related to massage. I hope he figures things out and turns his life and skill set around, but if you're looking for any "++" here, you are definitely not going to find it. Keep moving guys, you'll find something better elsewhere.

Well, he’s either a quick study in 30ish days, or the folks you refer to were strictly or specifically looking for something else. I will gladly go back to Andre if/when I am in the area next. Worth a special trip? No. But worth it if I’m local and need a massage - most definitely!

So, I took the plunge and Andre was great! He’s only been working there a month. Strictly therapeutic, at least at current, but very, very confident and well versed in Thai massage techniques. He started out a bit timid, but found his groove. And for $125 for a solid two hour massage, I didn’t miss the extras. I feel great!

Aww... That's too bad... @jeffla

I'm curious as well. Did you take the plunge @buffoonmh?

Lil' late for Elevation: Mammoth 2024, but anyone know of any gay friendly massage therapists in or near Mammoth? Thanks for your assistance ahead of time!

Has anyone had any personal experience to this point? It doesn’t sound like it? Correct? Thanks, y'all! Appreciate it!

Able to elaborate a bit more, please? Pros/Cons? What does "fine" mean to you. An example or two? And why is it not worthy of a repeat? HE an upcharge? Thank you, @Kregger52! Appreciate the additional info.

Great catch. Guessing you meant that they work out of the same studio? I wonder if it's a studio that's available to rent.

I did find this thread with a first hand experience from @aeikaryoko - thank you! Anyone else taken the plunge and had first hand experience with Michael? Thanks again for y'all's feedback! Appreciate it!
