Capitano

I love the $119 pricing for incalls. He should explore the idea of $119.99, though...

Well, it's been mentioned elsewhere, but that phone number is the same as here: http://backpage.com.newyork.escortbabylon.com/post/21865000/# I'd run.

I saw him once too, it wasn't bad but it was somewhat weird. It started with him being late because some kind of store didn't provide or ship to the hotel some kind of special ingredients for his own custom massage lotion that he mixes, he actually arrived that same day so my guess is that later clients didn't have that issue. I think he has some kind of treatment that goes with it, because he gave me a whole spiel about how I should drink tons of electrolytes in the days following the massage to rehydrate my body. I kind of tried but quickly gave up because it was just too much trouble :-). And no, I didn't sign up for a rehydrating massage or whatever, I guess he just goes around spreading his gospel. Oh, well...

Does he have some special healing powers then? I mean, $100 for 30 minutes. Maybe he should change his handle to "Touched by Jesus."

OK, not an elephant but nice size, how did both of you manage to ignore it? Why not make a joke about it, see how he responds?

So this was the "elephant in the room?" You both pretended it wasn't happening? Why not make a joke about it, see how he'll react?

I still stand by my note on page 2 here, what happened when you turned around?

I just don't get this, even if I didn't have to do any massage, I'd find the following schedule grueling: Jan. 23 - 25: Minneapolis, MN Jan. 25 - 26: Chicago, IL Jan. 26 - 27: Indianapolis, IN Jan. 27 - 28: Nashville, TN Jan. 28 - 29: Charleston, SC Jan. 29 - 30: Orlando, FL Jan. 30 - 31: Tampa, FL Jan. 31 - Feb. 1: Fort Lauderdale, FL Feb. 1 - 2: West Palm Beach, FL Feb. 2 - 3: Naples, FL Feb. 3 - 4: St Augustine, FL Feb. 4 - 5: Cape Coral, FL Feb. 5 - 6: Denver, CO Feb. 6 - 7: Key West, FL And why would anyone want a massage from someone who is "on the run" this much? https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/angelopaolo.shtml

I saw him for the first time last week and he doesn't seem to be doing outcalls at all. Maybe he did earlier, hated them and charged a lot, and then discontinued?

I actually think his rates are low compared to others offering similar quality of massage & experience. My other two favorites in Chicago are David who charges $225 for 90 minutes at his place and Jake who comes over to my place and charges $240. At $170, Nikola leaves plenty of space to give a generous tip and still spend less money.

Finally managed to travel up north to see Nikola. Excellent massage, hot, swarthy dude that doesn't engage in too much chitchat but is generally friendly, prompt with texts etc. Nice setup in a nice apartment in a nice neighborhood I think he is gay, so definitely no hang-ups about doing the glutes, generally uninhibited, etc. I am sure I'll see him again and if he lived closer I'd be regular. I don't want to jinx it, but I might be switching to having 3 favorites in Chicago instead of just 2 (David & Jake).

I think he travels around the holidays. My bet is he'll be back pretty soon.

The more I read these comments, the more I think we are talking about a person with "issues" rather than a simple asshole. When someone acts that weird on so many occasions, God knows what kinds of demons are at play. Careful out there! PS Look at the bright side, being stood up is much better than an unpleasant encounter with someone on some kind of drug or experiencing an "episode" on that particular day.

So how can the same person with the same number be in different cities at the same time? https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/latinjockcarlos.shtml https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/latincarlos.shtml It's probably some kind of operation where someone who speaks English directs a bunch of guys who'll show up at your door, but you are almost guaranteed that they won't look like the pictures, will have limited command of the language, and know very little about massage. Probably a similar story here, except that they didn't bother to make multiple ads, plus it saves money: https://rentmasseur.com/Timwood I guess they just figured out how to trick RM into accepting 3 different locations at the same time. I texted just to check, "naively" asking where they were now and the response was, predictably, "where are you?" without answering my question. So they can be wherever I want them to be, that is, just send me the local guy they have. And then there is that ad where the phone number is the same https://rentmasseur.com/Stanly with this site http://backpage.com.newyork.escortbabylon.com/post/21865000/ So the same person can also change gender and race on demand, besides being in two different places at the same time. I am not sure whether it's me noticing these things more or are these scams becoming more and more frequent? What's making me furious is that you obviously have to do a thorough search for the phone number, pictures, and any other info you can get before hiring a new masseur. It's becoming a chore. Obviously, scammers are figuring out that there is nice money to be made in this business, I wonder how we can fight this and send a strong message that we don't appreciate this kind of shit? PS And why, oh, why is Chicago one of their favorite targets :-)?

JD has been discussed here, with mostly positive opinions. Another favorite in NW burbs: https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/persian_steel.shtml

The masseurfinder ad was down for a while, now it's back up, and a RM ad appeared in the mean time: https://rentmasseur.com/Stanly Another red flag: when a masseur cannot make up his mind about his home base.

Bumping, he is coming to Chicago soon. I am usually skeptical about traveling masseurs except when they come from Florida. A very competitive masseur market down there for some reason.

Any new info on Alejandro? I find it hard to believe no one tried :-)

One crucial question: what happened when you turned face up? Were you draped? I am sure he noticed? Maybe you can joke about it next time, like "pardon my excitement" and see where the conversation takes you ... I try to be clear about liking someone without being pushy to make them uncomfortable because it's awkward if it's not mutual or if they have a bf or other type of constraints. Turning face up is critical time and your main chance to get something started. Before, it's too early, especially if the masseur is serious and has pride in his craft. Things become more relaxed once you turn around and you are cruising toward the end of the massage.

I disagree, I'd RUN!!! Rule #1: It's never as good as it seems, mild disappointments are the norm when seeing a new masseur. Pleasant surprises do happen, but with miniscule probability (approaching zero) and are far outnumbered by outright and near disasters. Rule #2: Presence of red flags makes things worse. A mild disappointment is actually a good outcome as you are typically in for a an outright or near disaster. Rule #3: Presence of multiple red flags or one as serious as the one above has a single implication. Don't even think about it and RUN! I know one wants that sexy dude to be real, but in all likelihood those pictures are planted there for a reason.

I hate to say this, but I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Many masseurs get really nervous if you try to negotiate anything sensual upfront, they are not escorts and they don't know who is texting them, there is always the possibility of a setup. Add to that asking for a discount, and they might even blacklist you as an undesirable client. And if they don't, they are likely to go into the appointment determined not to provide an ounce more than what you negotiated. I know, it sucks! Most of the time, you pay a lot of money for a meh experience and not nearly what you hoped for. Given your questions, you might be better off hiring from an escort site?

I've come to believe that positive surprises with masseurs happen, but almost never. I think this is a mathematical term for something that has zero probability but can still happen, at least in theory :-) As a general rule, everything, from pictures to the other info on the masseur's site, is going to be not as good as it seems. Also, given the personal preferences, chemistry, and regional differences mentioned above, it's hugely important to read between the lines and take all this into account when going by recommendations here. Of course, this is a great site and comments are hugely useful, but they are not perfect and do not provide insurance against disappointment. Far from it. OK, masseurfinder comments are pretty much all garbage, but let's not even talk about those. I even had instances when I was given a factually wrong info on a masseur in a private message here. It's one thing to have preferences, different chemistry, or be used to a less competitive market, but this was a whole different thing. So I'd advise being careful especially about comments from someone who appears "too gaga" about a masseur, it could be love, it could be a desire to promote them, or it could be them? So, in summary, no positive surprises here, and I've even had some negative experiences when the feedback here was good :-(

So how is he willing to accommodate? Especially if he charges extra for muscle play (that's not accommodation in my books but upsell), there are no sensual components, and massage is out of the window because he doesn't know how to do it? Call me crazy, but if he is willing to chat and is pleasant, that's what I call normal and expect from everyone :-).

So he is not really a masseur but offers the so-called "massage" appointments, which are not muscle play either, so wtf are they?! :-) I am glad he still manages to be "nice enough" guy, even though, the way I see it, he seems to charge his clients a lot of money for pretty much nothing. Maybe those nothing-appointments should include a free video in the end?

Come ON, guys, his rates are so low, give him a break. $70 for 1 hour, $100 for 90 minutes!
