Capitano

I am surprised I can't find anything on this guy, given his looks and location. The relatively high price means that it's either an obnoxious scam or a really nice experience. I'll withhold my preliminary private assessment which one is more likely, for now :-) https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/35174/

Nice and friendly dude but that's it. Not as good looking as the pix would suggest, and not in great shape. Massage skills sub-par because he has another job. Upcharge for a nude massage with mt but not worth it, a clear non-repeat for me... :-(

Going to NY soon, would love to hear more why Justin was a disappointment, here or in a PM! Thank you, can't wait to check out the city, been a while...

A good (but not very good, as you'll se below) therapeutic massage & stretching by a straight guy. Who also happens to be completely clueless about what checking the "sensual" and "erotic" boxes on rentmasseur means to potential clients. No hint of sensuality during the massage, avoidance of the glutes (important to me, a massage cannot be very good if this is an issue), fully dressed all the time. I guess there is willingness to give a very mechanical and sudden HE at the end but what's the point? Sorry, I can get a better therapeutic massage for $50 less. I commented on what I call "the American hang-up" before, the difference between straight American and Russian/Eastern European dudes (who have their own hang-up) is fascinating. But I think I am done with straight masseurs, period.

Any updates here? His ad disappeared for a while but is now back on.

He was mentioned in several threads, one of my worst experiences ever. A catty, overweight diva that's much older and heavier than in the pix, and from what I remember, he even tried upcharges on me, I'd SO stay away.

I think listing $175 is lame. Yeah, right, I'll have a $5 dollar bill or five $1 bills plus one $10 bill, probably not. So it will likely turn into $180 because anything else would be awkward. Way overpriced in my books, at $150 per hour already, and especially at $160 or higher, I definitely expect my masseur to be comfortable being naked with me. And many will just get naked right away, which is something I am starting to appreciate more and more, I feel I shouldn't even have to ask. I have an excellent professional masseur at a chiropractor's office next door charging $80 an hour, so that's my baseline. I don't see why I should pay a guy $100 extra to massage me in his undies no matter how cute he is. Might as well spend that money on lap dances at a strip bar...

You have to give it to them, they are persistent. Must be that enough people are going for whatever scam they sell. Here is the recipe: (1) simultaneous presence in several locations scattered around the country, they obviously want to come up in as many searches as possible, (2) hot pix, with the obvious purpose of getting many interested and horned up, (3) ad text that seems machine generated and (4) stats that often make no sense. Case in point: https://rentmasseur.com/rickyy

Decent massage, but that's about it. Even though I am into more mature guys, it's a turnoff when they seem unwilling to accept their age and lie about it in their ads. He is in great shape but the whole sensual aspect was a resounding "meh," I couldn't get into it. Even though his rate is not outrageous and he is friendly, not worth a repeat in my books. PS I kept the conversation to a minimum during the massage and there were no issues, but he does like to chat, which became clear as I was getting dressed after the massage. Not a bad experience but not great either.

It figures, scoping the market. Keeps changing his itinerary in real time, it's a waste of time.

Bump.

He is hot, gets naked for the massage, and his English is good enough. Unfortunately, the positives end here. He is pretty clueless about the massage. Whereas some non-masseurs try to compensate for their lack of knowledge & skills by emphasizing sensuality, that's so not the case here. You spend the entire time face down (he might as well not massage you naked) while he "works" on your back and legs, carefully avoiding your glutes. Then you turn around and he immediately tries to go into a very mechanical HE, no, thanks! He clearly doesn't like interaction or being touched, and that he texted during the appointment didn't help either. And forget about music, this straight dude prefers to keep an eye on a stupid movie on TV, I guess he needs a distraction from you and his work that he really isn't into. Sorry to say this, but one more confirmation of the "too good to be true" principle. Whereas you may look at his rentmasseur ad and wonder about the relatively low price (and no, there are no upcharges or extras offered), the truth is that it's a waste of time and money at any rate :-(

The last sentence in his ad says all you need to know: " i do accept advance payment upfront" If this doesn't scream SCAM I don't know what does. Just move on, not worth your time...

He is hot and in shape, it's just that he looks better in those pix IMHO, he also seemed a little shorter than the stated 5'9"

He is friendly and nice, but not as hot in person, the massage is OK, there is an upcharge if you want more sensuality, which is "meh." I don't feel cheated but I wouldn't repeat.

Tacoma, Aug 17 - Aug 22 Washington, Aug 17 - Aug 22 Bellingham, Aug 17 - Aug 22 Sorry but this, along with his intro, screams "fake." Yeah, a guy based in Seattle will travel to Tacoma Aug 17-22...

The third guy seems in constant search of the right business model and price, he has gone down to $150 but was at $180. Was at $120 when I tried way back, it was a clear no repeat, I am not sure whether anything has changed since then, but the change in price may signal at least attempts? https://m4m-forum.org/threads/miko-columbus-in-or-michael-bloomington-in.135599/#post-1545008

He is cute, hot, friendly, and nice. His English is decent, and he gets naked for the massage, which might become one of my requirements, it just makes me feel more comfortable being naked myself. BUT, he is pretty clueless regarding the massage and uses baby oil. Way too much of it. So even though he doesn't mind mutual touching (I didn't really push it, though, because there was no chemistry and he is a little too young for me anyway) and is very likely open to giving you a HE, it's a clear no repeat for me :-(

Good point, I just edited my post :-) Could be a matter of time before Olex in DC gets on rent.men too, I think he is also Ukrainain…

Just one more of the disappointing Russians/Eastern Europeans moving to rent.men, could be a sign that they are running out of uninformed first timers on rentmasseur and masseurfinder? Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite masseurs are Russian, but these guys don't need this kind of shit, it's mostly the "now you can finish yourself" straight crowd. And yeah, constant name changes & moving around the country, major red flags!

This one is based on PMs that I receive: Don't hire a masseur if you really want an escort experience. I am sometimes amazed by questions like "does he do oral or bottom?" I mean, come ON, what do you expect? Frankly, if I wanted an escort experience and thought that a hot guy in his best years would do a massage plus all these things for $120, and several times during the day, I'd run.

I have to say that 50% of my all time favorite masseurs are Russian, and both of my favorites in NYC, Brad and Anthony, are. I think I'll see Alex again when I am back in town, I guess we just hit it off. And if the experience is similar, I'll become his regular. It is true that there are many tricks and scammers and one has to be careful (the use of this site being essential in this regard), but this is the case when you hire any new masseur, it just comes with the territory. The funny thing is that while the probability of having a sub-par or bad experience when hiring a Russian may be elevated, Russians are actually underrepresented in my very WORST/GOD AWFUL experiences

I agree, odds are against you when you hire a traveling masseur. I just wanted to add that your odds are SLIGHTLY (key word) better with masseurs from a smaller market traveling regionally to repeatedly visit their client base, say Luke from Indy who regularly revisits Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago, and Cincinnati. But you still have to do your homework since, again, most local travelers suck. Another interesting case are guys from the Miami area. For some reason, this area has a huge population of masseurs, many from Europe and Latin America, and SOME (key word again) are excellent, like Alex(ei) and Max. I'd say avoid if you don't find positive comments on this site.

I am Capitano and I approve this massage: https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/14731/ https://rentmasseur.com/MediterraneanGuy PS Seriously, he deserves his own thread. Don't PM me, just try him ;-)
