Capitano

Chicago is reopening tomorrow so I figured I'd check the listings, even though I'll probably wait a little longer before I actually get a massage. And look who I find! One of my worst experiences that I didn't mention in my previous entry. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/33820/ An out of shape straight diva with an astounding menu of upcharges. The only thing missing was a $20 surcharge if you wanted to hang your coat rather than throw it on the ground. Ridiculous.

Extreme prospecting, this is ridiculous: Manhattan, May 21 - May 21 Jacksonville, May 16 - May 16 New Orleans, May 24 - May 24 Los Angeles, May 19 - May 19 London, May 20 - May 20 Seattle, May 27 - May 27

I hope these guys have some reserves, scary thought if they were spending all they were making. I feel for them, I just can't schedule a massage any time soon. What do you do if you can't get unemployment benefits, any forthcoming help from the Small Business Administration (most probably don't have a registered business), and any of that "check to all Americans" package they are talking about because you are not a citizen?

He has removed erotic from his menu. If anything, I would expect less sensuality than before. Especially in the current climate of health concerns.

Countries, states, metro areas that don't take this seriously, even for a couple weeks (e.g., Italy, Iran) experience mortality of over 5%. Those that take aggressive containment measures right away (e.g., quarantine & lockdowns, Singapore, Russia) limit it to less than 1%. This shit is dangerous, I am not hiring any traveling masseurs any time soon, sorry. I might hire a local here in Chicago if our rate starts to go down, and note that it's already low compared to the big coastal cities. Time to behave responsibly, not just for ourselves but for the wider community. And that means limiting our close interaction with unknown others, many people who carry the virus don't even know it. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

One of the straight Russian dudes from NYC who have to keep changing their name on rentmasseur, that says it all. Competent masseur that provides no sensual elements and will ask you in the end to "finish yourself." You text back and forth with someone else who speaks good English and will promise all kinds of things, but this dude barely speaks English and won't deliver. I'd stay away, even though he is obviously hot.

I can't tell for sure but this one seems suspicious to me too. There is no way the person in the pix is 6'2 & 215lbs, he'd be either fat or way more muscular at that weight. Oh well, when in doubt, run! https://rentmasseur.com/NateReal

He took a break or something, he is back. He now seems to have a studio but his in rate is higher than his out rate, which is interesting. I don't recall his old rates but these seem high for what he offered back then, maybe things have changed, has anyone tried recently? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/19034/

Meh. My experience wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. HE & some MT but without much enthusiasm or chemistry, and I didn't find him that hot. But he is a nice & polite dude. I don't regret trying but I wouldn't repeat.

Sorry, at $180 an hour, I expect my masseur to be comfortable being naked with me, a total deal breaker.

How about just say: "Hey, I usually don't do this, and of course, it's totally ok if you say no, but I'd love to do more with you."

My experience with the brother was downright awful and my experience with Jake was underwhelming at best. He kept yapping about his business ideas among other things and the room was messy. I wrote about both elsewhere on this forum.

Wow, look at the drop in the rates: https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/39412/ $160 for 90 minutes and $200 for 120?! Now, that makes me skeptical again, there is such thing as too good to be true. Or strictly therapeutic. Has anyone tried?

Hey, could we make these messages even shorter and more cryptic, please! :-)

I saw him last year. He is hot. That's the only positive. I can go on and on about the negatives, but I'll just say that he seems to specialize in treating his clients the way one treats an unusually slow and annoying ATM.

I pay, with a mental note to never book again. I had this happen twice. Both times the massage wasn't that bad, more like a meh or even ok, so it's their loss because they didn't get the tip. I believe I registered my displeasure on this forum but can't find those posts now. I attribute this mostly to cultural differences, but if one is practicing in this country, one needs to adopt local customs sooner rather than later. Oh, well...

One of the more awful experiences I've had, yikes! Upsells as if $160 an hour isn't already pushing it, cutting the time short, messy ambiance, stay away. You have to wonder what these guys must be thinking, what exactly justifies their rates? Imagine an expensive restaurant with crappy food, plastic forks, and dirty tables, what a great business idea!

Yep. And careful positioning during the massage to avoid being touched. Which I wasn't tempted to do as soon as I realized that it's not welcome despite promises in the original text. I think there is a handler who texts for a bunch of Russian masseurs, and the dude seems to promise whatever without conveying to the masseurs what the client expects. And the masseurs are just a bunch of straight Russian dudes that probably get a relatively little share of what you pay.

This Howie guy seems like a hot new masseur in the area, has anyone tried yet? https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/39412/

Is this the gentleman we are talking about? https://rentmasseur.com/SoothebyDave https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/28695/ Will be in Nashville pretty soon, I'd love to hear more. I like a good massage from a sexy masseur who doesn't mind being naked with me and lightly touched. PM me if you prefer.

I saw him during my recent visit to NY and I'll see him again! He didn't do my hands, focusing instead on what I asked for (lower back and shoulders), so if you want full body you should probably specify upfront. The sensual part is not integrated into the massage itself but comes at the end, so that may be another minus for some. However, I found him smoking hot, friendly, and down to earth, and we were both naked at the end. Nothing wild or sexual, just a very pleasant experience overall.

Probably one of my best therapeutic massages ever, with strong deep work and stretching. Done in the nude with lots of sensual elements. He is not into interactivity even though his dick brushes against you all the time, but that's fine given the quality and the very reasonable rate. He is all tattooed and doesn't look like that gentleman wearing a jacket in one of the pix. Very friendly too, if somewhat talkative, and the studio is pretty spectacular, I'd repeat.

Meh. The massage was decent and thorough, but I don’t like this vibrating thing he used. Plenty of sensual touches but he is not crazy about being touched and doesn’t get naked. This is what I call SAMH, Some American Masseurs’ Hangup, guys who don’t mind doing your glutes and giving you a HE but won’t get naked. Which is in contrast to SRUMH, Some Russian and Ukrainian Masseurs’ Hangup, guys who don’t mind getting naked but won’t get anywhere near your sensitive parts or provide a HE. Outwardly friendly but some lame lies and platitudes were a turnoff. I did ask about him being naked in our initial texts and he said it “happens but it’s a matter of vibe.” I’ll take wishy washy answers as a clear no in the future and move on. His rate is just low enough to get away with it but he is a clear no-repeat for me. And yeah, hot but noticeably older than in those pix.

With which guy exactly? The situation keeps changing day by day :-) This is the first, a combo of one body having multiple personalities & profiles AND multiple guys/bodies sharing the same profiles. If I ever saw a clusterfuck, this is one. This thing screams STAY AWAY!

Indeed, his stats don’t make much sense, especially in combination with “chubby.” Plus look at his travel plans, I’d say a total fake. Not to mention the very recent profile with a ton of sexy pix, probably lifted from some model’s Instagram.
