Probably true. It's not so much paying less that intrigued me but more the self entitled attitude people have about expecting tips in America. How often do we hear about some millennial posting on FB about not receiving a tip.

From some of the restaurant in the SF Bay Area it seems to be mixed results. Though they are upfront about it the sticker shock to see the prices on the menu is a turn off. In San Francisco there is a 2.5percent health surcharge which is supposed to go to paying medical benefits for employees but a study found that employers were not putting it towards that but instead kept much of it.

It's the Spirit Airlines approach. The base rate looks good but after adding on the fees for every little thing it ends up costing just as much and end up walking away frustrated and upset .

Yes, understand your point. I know they have tried it in some restaurants, basically tacking on a service fee. I know the mentality of America does not quite work that way. There is a Korean restaurant near me that is known for yelling at people for not tipping at least 10percent and saying that minimum.

So I recently came back from Japan where you don't tip...for anything. Well, at least not your standard things. Having been in the restaurant and on some tours I came to appreciate a society that actually looks down on tipping. At one restaurant a customer kept calling over a waitress and actually felt bad for her but yet each time she came over with a cheerful attitude, knowing full well she would not get any extra money for it. From what I understand even if you try to tip they may refuse as it comes across as you are paying them for what is expected from them anyway. US is completely opposite where you would be called out or looked down with scorn for not tipping. How different things would be if we all shared the attitude of I will do my best and be pleasant because that is what is expected not to earn extra tip.

I agree that M4M is useless now and has been for a while at least for us on this board. But even before they became so sterile, I disliked them because of all the fake masseur the site actually put up to lure you into buying photos of masseurs that didn't even do massages but just to get you to buy photos. You never knew who was actually a masseur or who was a pay to to view ad.

Have not really been following this thread. Just glanced over this just now. I am Asian and have never felt the need to disclose that in any situation. I have encountered the looks, being called ching ching Chinaman, had people make squinty eyes in front not me. Yup, all that. But who cares. Life goes on, move on and don't dwell on it. Perhaps the person is prejudice, naive, undereducated but either way, I don't dwell on it. Maybe it may bother me a bit but as long as I am not physically assaulted ( which I never have) then just move on.

He has been talked about plenty, do a search for Roman. Though there is often a debate about whose who between Roman and Alex as they are twins and apparently have differing boundaries.

It was my second that left me a little surprised. It was with Asian Max in SF. I was laying on my front as he started rub me with his oiled body which I enjoyed. Then he started to use his hard cock to go up and down the crack of my butt. I didn't expect this and at first thought I thought it was his fingers then I thought in my mind is that his dick? I realized it was his dick i thought whoa. He then inserted his dick ( only for a couple of seconds). He is small so it didn't hurt.

Well, we already know Tyler is real (albeit changes names). Do the board a favor and go for Jeremy, a report is needed on this guy. I wonder if they know each other considering they will be here same time.

So sitting in my room in Tokyo. For future reference if anyone looks up this thread. Did not go to a real onsen but more a spa/bath. In Osaka there is Spa World which has a europeEu and Asian style themes. It alternates by month which gender uses which. But I did not go. In Japan specifically Shinjuku there is Thermae Yu. I went last night and enjoyed it. I expected a bunch of older men but there were quite a bit of 20 something in there. Never seen so many asian dicks. It was a but surprising how freely they walked around. I am not one to be naked in front of others but after 5 minutes I didn't really care. I guess nudity among friends is different in Japan. I know none of my friends would dare be naked among each other.

I have seen him 3 times for a massage. Getting hard was never an issue in my sessions. Though, I have stopped seeing him. Partly because I like variety but also last session seemed flat so never returned.

I have never seen him but he has had those pics for the probably 7 years or so.

You are right, that is creepy. One of two things it makes me think: a) it is some accomplishment at 27 not to be with parents b) implying he needs financial help since parents not around to help. Either way, in an ad for massage I want no reference to parents.

Leave it to BritSD and a few others to unashamedly say Karl Kang whenever SF is mentioned. If he knew how much we talked about him here...... We really should be getting commission of this!

Though not wealthy at all you are right that financially I was able to take that position. I guess what I meant was that money could not be a sole basis if I was not happy at the job I would be at. I actually took a 40percent pay cut to go to my current job which I love. It was not until 10 years later I finally make as much as I did before quitting my other job 13 years ago. But you are right, that is not the norm.

You will find out almost everyone will recommend Karl Kang for good combination massage and sensual. Search "Karl Kang" and you will find find the glowing recommendation.

I had inquired about him before, even texted him to see what he would do. Seemed nice enough but after further inquiries via PM got word to avoid because it is too hard to relax with him being chatty and more into talking than massage. So, seems like I avoided a less than stellar session.

Hmm, so both the people who saw him mentioned a lack of sensual. That is unfortunate considering he is a good looking guy but just not looking for a therapeutic for $140, too much to pay for that. Karl kamg really needs to teach him how to up his game ( I am assuming they know each other as their ads are similar and as one reported worked in same spa).

Well I guess he will remain this mysterious figure. He is headed to NY soon but has raised his rates from $200 to now $250 (which of course is still reasonable for NY).

Well, now that put it that way maybe wait, i would rather you take the plunge on someone I would seriously consider.

Came across someone on massuerfinder and rentmasseur had different rates. I simply asked I wanted to confirm the rate and what I was expecting in session. He ended up telling me lower rate, happy customer. I did have someone else quote me higher rate of the two and I told him on such site it said $150 for example. He ended up saying that was acceptable.

Madison Bumgarner, pitcher for SF Giants dated a girl named Madison Bumgarner. Apparently the small town he is from in North Carolina has Bumgarner as a very common last name.

In my years of working I made a commitment to myself I would never take a job or leave a job over money. I never wanted my job to define who I am. I have even told my boss when doing my job review that I was not interested in having more responsibility to secure a raise. It never hurts to always be on the lookout for another job and when the right one comes along you snatch rather than settling for the next offer. I have been laid off twice, first time I volunteered to get laid off and ended up having a job ready for me by the time my time ended, second time took 6 month off. Even if I was not actively looking I enjoyed going through job interviews. It helps to know what's out there and and to keep your interview skills sharp.

Since we often inquire about the same guy if you dont object to taking the plunge for us I won't object. But just showing an arm does not really get me curious enough.
