Typical

Yep. Masks worn by therapist and client the entire appointment. That worked fine for me.

Clearly there is something happening between these two (Mike530 and the subject masseur) that doesn't meet the eye here in this forum. People don't usually go off the rails as we just witnessed unless there is an intense emotional reason. Jealous boyfriend? Jealous want to be boyfriend? Stalker? Jilted lover? Any number of entertaining possibilities, but alas it's probably best to move on....

Saw him maybe 5-6 years ago. Photos 2-5 are quite dated. When I saw him his massage skills were pretty weak. It was more like a hook-up and I really wasn't into it.

And did you use protection...? Tested for what? Just ask someone for a "test"? Strange public comment for a first time user without any particular useful information.

God no.

All the yelling (CAPS) at the start of his ad copy telling you how he wants to be paid would be a NO GO FOR ME. Just not the right frame of mind for a relaxing experience. And so we don't even need to discuss a $250 massage price tag....LOL

Agree. It's definitely a "going down a rabbit hole" post. So "term" it however you want. The point is one should't come from a COVID hot spot and break the law by not only ignoring a rational quarantine, but provide a relatively intimate (transmission likely) service in the process. Sheriff is coming!

The word "provider" is weird.

Then let's just call them grossly negligent. It's August and Florida is a COVID "hot spot". There are few visitors down there. They are moving to fertile economic ground. But they are breaking the law in a very flagrant manner. It's appalling and pretty stupid. Maybe they need a friendly quarantine reminder from the local sheriff.

You are looking for love in all the wrong places.

Curious - did you ask for a "sensual" experience? Aside from the price, his ad doesn't convey anything more than therapeutic to me. I've seen him for a 90 minute session and it was a good massage, particularly the leg work and excellent foot reflexology. He's a nice, chill guy and, in my opinion, cute AF. But I can understand the frustration if you were led to believe the experience would include HE or MT. In my experience it has not, but he has no qualms about draping for touching erogenous zones.

Just curious - what would you like him to say? We should take precautions, but that probably excludes getting a massage. And you already know that. So what answer is correct? That he took a COVID test, which was useful until the moment he came with 10 feet of another person? That he mindlessly Clorox wipes things down? (surfaces are not a likely spreader). Seriously, what answer does one expect that is sensible? If you are asking the question you have already answered it. Do you want an answer that makes you feel good about getting a massage? Or do you want truth? He can't give you both.

Whuuuuut? Good grief.... ?

I really don't think his offer of a HE warrants all that much concern. Seems like a normal offer in these circumstances. No big deal on that. He sounds like a lost soul trying to sort out some internal conflicts. His ad has a bit of a kook vibe if you ask me.

Ha. It's like two 90 year olds trying to operate their new remote. By the time they figure it out Hee Haw is going to be over.

There is plenty of financial desperation right now. That is obviously very sad. But with that kind of desperation comes schemes like this. Be wary of handing over your credit card information. And be very wary of putting personal information at risk. It can be used for a variety of nefarious purposes, including extortion. You don't have to provide credit card numbers or booking fees or photos or personal information to book a massage!

Maybe I'm missing something, but why? Just use the site that doesn't require registration and a fee. I would never put my personal information into a database such as this. They want to check you against sex offender registrations? Sounds bizarre to me.

Not surprised. The ad reeks fake. Put thinking caps on.......

I think it's unwise to ever send your photo to a stranger under these circumstances. Who knows why they want it or how they might use it. And the idea they might want to screen their clients in this manner is obnoxious to say the least. When they pay me, I'll send them a picture.

Obviously HE thinks it matters or he wouldn't go through the effort of photoshopping his pictures! It's a weird thing to do. He's the one who made an issue of his abs with the fake photo, not the guy who pointed out the deception in this forum. You think he is "handsome"....okay, but does he look like the photo provided or did he alter that, too? Would you care about that since he isn't using his face to provide the service? I simply don't get your logic. Why bother including photos at all if they are misleading? Have a text only ad if looks don't matter. He should use real photos or he shouldn't post pictures at all.

Sweet Turkish guy with above average massage skills. Cute and sexy. Confirm his table situation if that is important to you. I will repeat.

ugh. I remember seeing him about two years ago at his place (then) in Hells Kitchen. The squalid housing keeping mentioned above is one memory. The fact that he was very, very high on something is another. I recall nothing about the massage itself. The scene was just too weird. It's an appointment I regretted making the moment I walked in and I should have left immediately.

Scratch conjures up the idea of an injury. So it may not be the best word. But I know exactly what the OP is after and I agree...I like it, too. Some guys intuitively know when to do it. Wish I could recall someone to recommend.

I saw him and his boyfriend/ partner in Miami Beach a few months ago. He's real and is they guy in the ad. The message was nothing to write home about, but the rest was. In other words, the reason to go is not the massage itself.

Yep. That about sums it up. If you are really bored and want a cheap, mediocre rub down from a not interesting chatterbox, he's your guy!
