I'd love to try, but why, oh, why stay at a cheap dump with bad reviews in order to save $40? 

I deleted my post above, it might have been intended for Liam in Chicago, but I am no longer sure 😞

I was going on a trip there and contacted several masseurs, I might have mixed up the responses, so I don't want to hurt anyone's business unless absolutely sure. Ended up too busy to see anyone 😞

Just checked, he is in DC and Albuquerque at the same time. The current oldest profile is from Jan 2021, so those retired ones were probably used before. A long term scammer.

He is a flake and likely a fake. Asked me 40% deposit just before the scheduled meeting time (never mentioned that when we scheduled) . The insta pix are highly doctored 

Kudos for using your big head and not falling for it!

Never-ever make a deposit, that's pretty much rule #1.

Bump, do we have any updates?

No wonder he has to keep moving in search of new clients to scam in local markets that are not familiar with his tricks. 

Bumping, do we have any updates on Paodinho?

Confirmed via text, strictly therapeutic. Oh, well... 

Forgive a little bit of camp 🙂

Now in SF. No matter how big a market, he quickly runs out of horny rich guys who let their small head take over. The fact that even they apparently aren't eager to hire him again and again speaks volumes.

I take many fewer fliers on new people than I did at $120-140. I stick to known quantities. If new guys want to build a business they need to provide a “soft opening” rate to build a business and not start at full (high) prices.

I have 4-5 regulars that I know and trust who charge $180-$200 for excellent service without tip expectations. I see them regularly without any drama or disappointment on either side.  

They appreciate the consistent business and respectful encounters and I appreciate the good and reliable service sans ridiculous cash grabs. We all win over and over and over.  

I agree! I find it ridiculous when a new masseur on RM or MF starts off with a rate of $200 or even more. Automatic pass. Similarly, I am done with most travelers charging these rates. They are obviously milking local markets for whatever they are worth. I will make an appointment at $200 or under $300 for 90 minutes, though, if I see stellar reviews here. These are vary rare cases anyway.

So, I rely on a couple of local masseurs in Orlando when I make it there, here in the Tampa Bay Area the picture is pretty grim. I do have a masseur who no longer advertises and likes to see me when we both find time, though 😁.

Bottom line, one has to provide enough VALUE for the price charged. If the gap between the two is too small, one cannot generate much business, and then one has to travel and skim local markets, lower the price, or improve the offering. A local masseur who doesn't travel but has been in business for a while is a good bet, especially if you like his ad, he must be doing something right. Or regional travelers that keep serving the same handful of markets. National or international travelers, especially those who see themselves as models and charge insane rates, are best avoided IMHO.

I agree with all who say that you don't owe him anything and that "I am busy and will get in touch when I see an opening" should be enough.

I am for 2 messages max. When he comes back with a rant, simply say "Thanks, as I said, I've been really busy and will get in touch when I can." and then simply don't answer to additional messages. I wouldn't block him, let him vent.

There is no point in entering arguments, because facing the truth will likely only infuriate him. However, you can download a free texting app that gives you another number. You can contact him anonymously and give him feedback on his pricing that way. If he has any brains, he should be able to use them. If not, oh well... Yeah, Econ 101, the law of supply & demand. 

Let's restart the discussion of Alessandro who does "yogic massage" in Fort Lauderdale.

The previous thread was generally positive but is now closed, the link is provided below along with the link to his MF profile.

I am interested in any recent experiences and have one specific question: how tall is he? I am 6'4", which is typically a challenge for masseurs under 5'9". Thanks!

Meh. Hot and friendly dude, but the massage was B-/C+ and sensuality pretty mechanical and limited. His technique with brisk repetitive strokes didn't do it for me (probably not formally trained), and he focused on the same areas over and over again (milking the time?) while carefully avoiding the glutes which are important to me. The face-up part was pretty short and mechanical, he gets naked and allows touching but the positioning is such that there is not much of it. Extras were limited and from what was suggested expensive (he'll top, you can blow, but he won't do anything involving his mouth so no making out). Overall, the vibe is of a straight guy who has found a profitable niche by pretending to be bi. Yeah, the rate is reasonable, but it still felt like a waste of money and time. PS Beware of the fiery emoticons he uses in texts to describe what he does, the session is anything but.

Directing traffic to an only fans would be my guess.

That is a very good explanation! 👍👏🙏

It seems like a good idea to be skeptical of masseurs with links to their only fans profiles, especially if they keep moving from location to location. They probably don't even want to see you in person, much less give a good massage.

How about those without only fans, any other ideas or explanations? Requiring a deposit would be another obvious scam.

Bump, any new info?

I met Joseph last week. He’s originally from Cuba, previously lived in Miami, and recently relocated to Orlando. His place is clean and conveniently located. Photos are accurate and current. His massage is strictly therapeutic and he is clear and upfront about it. I’d rate the overall experience as a B+ / A-. He remained fully clothed throughout the session, and although his ad includes a sensual option, there were no sensual elements involved during my visit. Like always, this is just my experience and YMMV.

Offering sensual massage without any sensuality? I contacted him to clarify and it was unambiguous, which leaves the question why waste people's time by checking that option. Automatic pass.

A recent trend: A hot guy appearing in your town out of the blue and then disappearing without a trace within a day or two. The profile is often very recent, which makes it easy to see right through it. Sometimes the profile is older, but with no or obviously fake reviews on RM. I wonder what the scam is 🙂

I'd SO stay away! 😀

Despite the seemingly attractive rate for "sensual," and his rate for "therapeutic" is pushing it, don't think it's worth it.

This is that other site, I wouldn't have hopes for any sensuality.

The rate seems high, though. He might be super-trained and specialized, how many offer "Prenatal Massage?"

I saw him a few years back, so keep in mind things might have changed since then.The session was more of a rub-and-tug type deal, MT and HE were included. The only upsell offered was to full service, and he was upfront about it. Just sharing for reference, but take it with a grain of salt given how long it’s been.

Also here now for cross reference:

Great, thanks!

Do you remember by any chance whether he offered to top, bottom, or both? Was kissing on the table? I realize it's been a while, just curious, he gets me going 😁

Bump.

Curious about the massage, sensual elements that are included, and what any upsells might be. Going to Orlando soon.

He quoted me $240 for one hour of erotic massage. His MF rate of $190 then seems to be "therapeutic," but that's overpriced by some $70 in my book. Automatic pass.

PS He offered full service for $350 even though I didn't ask. Yeah, he is hot, but no wonder he always seems "available" on RM & MF.

I am confused, did the rate go down in the meantime?

I tried contacting, unusually wishy-washy about sensual elements, I think it's good to be careful, but it becomes a turnoff when it crosses into paranoid.

This is weird, how does one person stay in two places at the same time?

Listed in Tampa July 8-12, listed in Orlando July 8-16, two profiles, one phone number.

Goes by the name of Don, had negative reviews on prior threads. WTF?
