We exchanged texts when he was in central FL. Turns out $150 is his base rate and he wanted $250 for nude with mutual touch, so I decided to pass.

Bump, any updates?
-
He just added more pix, he somehow seems familiar, could it be a name change?
-
Too good to be true? There is a review on MF from 2021, so he's been around, but how come I can't find any info on him here despite the hotness and reasonable rate? 😉 https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/50775/

Masseurs and all others are of course free to do whatever they want with their faces and bodies, but it is also legitimate for one to say that they find surgical and chemical interventions a turnoff. I am in that camp too, and I've given up on booking with guys who are too covered with tattoos as well. And yeah, I do think that there are psychological issues involved. Or lack of thorough thinking through. Yeah, there could be a short term market benefit, but I do believe that most will regret it in the long run. Of course, it's their choice, just like I am choosing to be vocal about my tastes and opinions. 😉 PS Luca is insanely hot, but once I detect vanity and "trying to hard," it IS a turnoff for me. Or could it be insecurity?

Anyone noticing a drop in massage rates?
Capitano replied to SamMiller213's topic in Spas & Masseurs
I've started "polite market feedback" recently and here is the latest update on what I see around central Florida (Tampa, Orlando, etc.). Many masseurs, especially visitors, are quoting some sort of "base rate" of $200 and want $250 for both nude and mutual touch with HE. When I respond that I prefer to keep it under $200 and will go back to one of my local favorites instead, they quickly backtrack and say that $200 is ok. Unfortunately, it's too late at that point. I don't want to get a massage from someone who is not happy with their compensation. Massage is a very personal and somewhat luxurious experience, so it is essential for both sides to be happy to be there under the terms that are agreed upon. Making it bazaar-like cheapens it and introduces a very wrong vibe that kills the experience IMHO. I'll report if I observe any adjustments in quoting behavior, some may realize that getting more clients at $200 makes more business sense than fishing for the ones willing to shell out $250 or more. Some have even quoted $300 or $350. Hence my "polite market feedback" policy, I see it as community service 🙂 -
So, how sensual does it get, is he fine being nude and touched during the massage? HE? Smoking hot, on my short list for next time I am in NYC. But I need to verify 😉
-
Bump. He seems like a 10+++ on my personal 1-10 scale, but that raises the dreaded "too good to be true" concern 😉
-
I was tempted but decided nah. Yeah, he is hot and I am sure does a good job, but I can get spa quality massage for $120, and several locals do sensual for $150-$180. Yeah, I'll tip generously, but he is pushing his rate into escort territory here. I don't like the feeling of being extracted the last $ that I am willing to pay. At that point, I become indifferent between getting and not getting a massage.
-
Of course there is variation, and if someone is great, they'll likely have great reviews here. Those who don't are a very risky bet IMHO, and here is the dynamic. If a masseur delivers great VALUE, that is, the difference between what he delivers and what he charges, he should be able to grow a local clientele of repeat clients in any sufficiently big market. This includes guys who cover a limited geographic area, say you are based in Cincinnati and regularly visit Indy, Louisville, and Columbus. It makes sense to see them because you know that you'll get another chance soon, and that this is precisely what they want. A hot guy charging a lot and traveling country-wide is likely skimming the market, that is, not leaving enough value on the table for the client to come back. He relies on clients thinking with their small heads or simply wanting to check him out up close and personal. The experience will typically be "been there, done that" once they realize he is not worth a repeat, so he has to keep moving because he runs out of business even in the huge market of NYC, Miami, or LA. It only gets worse with masseurs who think of themselves as models and keep hoping that that career will take off. Many of them deep down hate what they (have to) do to maintain a certain lifestyle.

Oh, man, this one is STILL in business too. The usual ambiguity as to where he lives and travel dates & destinations included, and the pix are over 10 years old. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/38430/ JohnCA - Male Massage & Bodywork in Los Angeles, CA | RentMasseur RENTMASSEUR.COM Gay Masseur JohnCA in Los Angeles, CA offering a wide range of massages ⭐ experienced in therapeutic, sensual, swedish, hotStone, deepTissue. -
A smart, holistic way to manage a business! So, how much they bring in total and how easy or difficult they are. Nobody shortchanged, but VIPs get priority and extra intangibles. 👍💪👏🙌🙏
-
Central question: would you prefer a client that sees you twice a month and tips you 20% every time or a client that doesn't tip but sees you every 10 days? Demand for some items is elastic (econ term), that is, sensitive to the price, and I suspect that this is the case for massage services and most clients. Yeah, there are some who get all the massages they want and tip generously anyway because their budgets allow them to, but they are most likely a small minority.

Thank God for this site! I was tempted to see him a couple of times, but the reviews seemed negative, so I kept my big head in control 😉 I hate that feeling when you realize that it is all going to be just a waste of time and money. What does one do at that point? -
Doesn't a plumber, landscaper, lawyer, or dentist do these same things and have these same issues?

It is a smart business decision given the natural life cycle of his business model, which is basically a hot straight guy charging a lot for not providing much. It's not a coincidence that he is traveling more and more, as his ability to skim the NYC market has gone down. Most guys try it once or twice and go "OK, I've seen it, I'm done." In order to entice the customer to keep coming back, one has to leave some VALUE on the table for the customer. If one skims the market (again, this is rational if one hates his job and is in it to make nice money for a while before moving on), even the huge NYC market (locals plus visitors) is not big enough. He is a smart businessman, but many smart and savvy clients able to resist thinking with their small heads should be able to see through what is on offer here. 😉 BTW, I am increasingly DONE with frequent travelers charging $200. I just hate the feeling of being used as an ATM in a very transactional way. Granted, the market in central FL is limited, but I do have a handful of pretty good options in the $160 range. I'll see a $200 an hour visitor if I see pretty unanimous stellar reviews here, though.
-
Bump, anyone? PS, yikes, just found out he also has a straight escort site, and the rates are insane. So, at this point, my inquiry is about pure curiosity about WTF is going on here, rather than intention to hire. 😅🤣😂 https://cowboys4angels.com/cowboy/andy/

I felt like trying something new, and reviews here were not horrible, so I pulled the trigger. A definite non-repeat. Massage less than a meh, it felt like a waste of time very soon after we started. He is clearly untrained and has no idea what he is doing IMHO. Sensuality less than a meh, very mechanical and rushed attempt at a HE in the end. Yeah, he was nude but but no chemistry or interaction. He is just ok as far as his personality, reasonably friendly, polite, and prompt in responding, but it felt very transactional. I would be too if I was charging customers as much as he does for what is sub-par on each dimension. I don't think I'd go back even if he charged $100 per hour. PS He is reasonably good looking, but not really that hot either.
-
Bump, he is coming to FL again.
-
Bump. In central FL now. Would love to hear about recent experiences.
