Capitano

Brad lives close to the northern tip of Manhattan, but it's a nice neighborhood and a relatively easy ride on the A-train. Well worth a visit in my books: https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/brad292191.shtml Anthony may be a little less sensual but is insanely hot in my books, both being excellent masseurs: https://www.massagem4m.com/masseur/18079/ In fact, it's one of my missions in 2018 to ask him out even though he is probably straight

Thank you so much, I just came back and saw your message :-( I had 2 awesome massages, one with Brad, one with Anthony, so my cravings have been taken care of, at least for a while :-) I also think that Maulen/Manuel profile is bogus, if someone is good at googling pictures they can likely confirm. https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/maulen.shtml

It seems that a younger version of the same person is now operating (scamming?) in Chicago https://rentmasseur.com/BeauTaylor You really never know who will open the door when you go to an appointment with a new masseur these days. Or when you open the door, the concept I have abandoned precisely because of this issue. Invite to your home only if you know them.

I see where you are coming from . I am less demanding, or I am fine with less on the sensual front, but it would still be nice to know what one gets for $160 an hour. Anyone with info who prefers to PM me please feel free to do so.

Reviving this thread, has anyone seen this guy recently or at all? He seems to share some pictures with Muscle Rob https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/ikneadmuscles.shtml Going to NYC soon, it seems surprisingly difficult to decide which new guy or two new guys to try...

Or you can just tell us who it was (and where), I kind of did the same on the previous page, enough for anyone interested to find out who I was talking about ;-)

Sweet, thanks for the lead! I think I am ready to try a new Chicago masseur even if it means driving that far up north :-) I'd be curious to know if there were any extras and how tall he is (I am 6'4" and too much work for anyone under 5'10" even if they are really strong)? Also, would you know where he is from, he says Mediterranean but I know several Russian Nikolas, so just curious. Of course, PM me if you prefer, thanks!

As if we needed more reason to hate masseurfinder.com, the same guy offers "relaxing" massages at higher rates, but, of course, there are no crosslinks to clarify that. https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/zenaj.shtml Needless to say, this might lead to conflict and confusion if one looks at the "healing" ad buts sets expectations based on feedback form someone who experienced the other version of the massage by the same guy.

Re-bumping this, in NYC next week, should I give this new masseur a try, has anyone tried, does anyone think it's one of those too-good-to-be-true guys? https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/maulen.shtml Thinking about revisiting one of my boys, Anthony, Brad, or Troy, but could try someone new in addition. Also, open to suggestions , let's hear it! Tend to go for very good masseurs who also happen to be hot and open to getting naked with me if the chemistry is right. This one seems kinda too young for my taste but I am still intrigued. Plus they tend to put up pix from a couple of years ago anyway...

I'll take you up on it! And, yeah, maybe we can start Alexei fan clubs in different cities he visits ;-)

OK, it's Saturday and cold outside, I feel like bragging :-) I think I was the first to rave about Alexei on this forum, sort of "gave" him his first break here. And I have to say that I am so happy that so many others have had good experiences :-)! I only wish I could see him more often...

I'd say just listen to the sound of it and/or look for that additional s or double-s: host / hostess actor / actress masseur / masseuse and it becomes pretty easy! Just don't get me started on how "data" and "media" are plurals but everyone, including the uber-educated TV anchoress Rachel Maddow, use them as if they were singular.

Ok, let me try this French challenge Lamé is a shiny fabric that contains golden, silver, or other metallic threads. Gaté is the past participle of "gâter" which means to spoil, ruin, waste. So spoiled (fine/shiny) cloth? But then "spoiled" can also mean "pampered" as in "spoiled child."

Excellent points above, agree with all! I just thought about one more major annoyance. I am often tempted to have the masseur come to my place, because I am busy or whatever, and I definitely don't mind paying extra, but DO NOT MESS WITH MY TIME! Many masseurs, actually an unfortunate majority, are totally clueless about time management. You'd think that if one lives in Chicago, they should know that the traffic is bad, especially around the rush hour and evening. Plus why not use Google maps that will tell you how long the expected travel time is? My boy Jake is a stellar exception here, yet again :-), super-professional in this respect, but there is this other dude Nikola in Chicago who checks all the boxes, super-competent and trained, cute, friendly, nice, chill, charges surprisingly low rates, but is usually an hour late and sometimes even more :-(. So I stopped inviting him despite all his other qualities and despite the fact that I would gladly pay DOUBLE what he charges if only he would fucking show up on time. Or within 15-20 minutes. I mean I am just busy, not anal or uptight, I just cannot spend the entire evening guessing when the masseur will show up, if I want a 90-minute massage it should not take more than 2 hours of my time. PS I also had another masseur text me like 5 minutes into our supposed appointment saying that he needed to get some lunch and will come in like 45 minutes. Well, I certainly don't want him to massage me hungry, but why can't he plan his fucking day so that he doesn't run into these time conflicts? Needless to say, he showed up more than an hour late, and that was it, no more invites from me. These dudes need to realize that people willing to pay them $150-160 an hour typically ARE BUSY and value their time more than anything. Think about it, if I hire someone every month or even every two months for 90 minutes, that's like $1.5-3k a year, many businesses would do pretty much anything for that kind of client.

True, they can run their business any way they see fit, but the topic here is how to get repeat customers. So, no hard feelings either way, but it's about what gets us to come back. And, of course, repeat customers are extra valuable because they make income more secure and less variable, plus there is much less hassle and waste of time explaining and negotiating. Finally, repeat customers are likely to spread the good word. Obviously, I like my massage to take approximately the time booked but I don't obsess over it if it turns out a little shorter. But I do get pissed off (quietly and to myself) if it's outrageously short. I usually go for 90-minute appointments, and have noticed that the guys I repeatedly go to are pretty good at timing. But my boy Jake rules wrt this. He is so nice, smart, so much fun, it's like hanging out with a close bud. He'll suggest jumping in the shower together, then usually asks me to sit on the edge of the bed while he gets behind and massages my neck. Priceless, a very nice wind down, a total opposite of that wham-bam-now-you-are-done-get-out approach. That is not just fair (I paid for 90 minutes, I should get 90 minutes) and respectful, it's smart on his part. Every time I hug him good bye I already look forward to the next time because the vibe is so good. I've had several other masseurs offer additional neck or other massage noticing that the time wasn't up. Always appreciated even if I usually turn it down and prefer a little chat as I put on my clothes. Masseurs who schedule hourly appointments back to back are idiots in my books. That's sacrificing long term for the short term. It's greedy and myopic, and hardly entices anyone to come back, and that's just stupid form the business standpoint. My worse experience was with that Luka in Manhattan, who basically rushes you out as he scrambles to prepare the room for the next customer, so he basically wants you in and out of his building, not just his apartment, in less than an hour. It's like you are being processed on an assembly line, or how to spend $160 an hour and feel like crap in the end. Thank God he doesn't do 90-minute appointments, at least that saved me some money. Another dude in Chicago was doing outcalls and once he came to my place for an hour appointment. He was in and out of the door in like 50 minutes. Needless to say, I refused to see him again (yes, he texted and offered, who wouldn't want to make $150 in 50 minutes?) and then his ad disappeared. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who didn't like the approach. This business is really good if you like doing it and are able to deal with people but it's NOT for everyone. If someone thinks it's quick and easy money requiring no skill or effort, it shows. And if it shows, you can't get a permanent customer base, so you are forced to travel and incur additional costs, hoping to find enough clients to put through your production line. Good luck with that! One more thing I would add, and this is something that I realized gradually over time. I really like it when my masseur gets naked right away, when that kind of goes without saying. If I am going to lie there naked, let's be on a level playing field. Plus, if they don't get naked they tend to be warm, especially given that they work, while I may get really cold because I am naked and inactive. Them being naked gives them a better sense of the temperature in the room. I don't have automatic expectations about anything sensual, I like to leave that to the chemistry, but it seems that many don't do this for fear of setting wrong expectations, which I find unfortunate. But then that makes me appreciate even more those who do it plus are good masseurs.

Museum piece or chill? The rate seems low for anything non-therapeutic.

Hmm, interesting, THANK YOU! How hot/cute was he back then? Would you know anything about Alejandro? https://www.massagem4m.com/masseur/18480/ I don't know what it is, it could be that mi cuerpo pide salsa these days :)

Thinking about trying a new masseur in Chi, has anyone had any experiences with Demetrio? https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/demetrio.shtml PM me if you prefer, thanks!

Bumping this, anyone? Going to NYC soon, so thinking about trying one new masseur and revisiting one old favorite. Maybe squeeze in a 3rd one to usher in the holiday season? :-)

Going to NYC soon, has anyone tried Maulen? https://www.masseurfinder.com/members/maulen.shtml PM me if you prefer, thanks!

At $140 an hour?! A star is born. PS Thanks for letting us know, I was tempted to try.

WOW! What infuriates me more than anything is when someone makes me think "well, maybe that hideous orange man has a point." If he/they are traveling around the US on an expired or tourist visa pulling this shit off ($260 an hour, no less!) on unsuspecting people, I actually wouldn't mind if they got kicked out of the country.

And they disappear from Chicago just as suddenly as they appeared! They are all "based" in Mineapolis now, buyer beware, to say the least. My guess: 2 or 3 guys traveling together and using multiple super-fake profiles to pull off some kind of trick on as many people as possible. Not sure how bad the trick is but I am pretty sure it can't be good.

WOW, more use of celebrity pix to lure relatively less informed customers? Funny how they all appear "available now" on rentmasseur, coincidence?

Yikes! And, of course, THANKS!
