Wait. What's the question? If you are asking whether a guy with massage skills might use fake or dated pictures in order to get business, your experience obviously confirmed that. If you are asking whether that tactic works on other clients, I have to say that I have sometimes gone ahead with appointments when I was pretty sure the guy used fake pictures that were, nonetheless, of someone at least similar stats-wise. I wouldn't follow through with an appointment if I showed up and the guy was obviously a generation older and not in the shape as the guy I expected.

That happened to me once. The ad was a somewhat ripped guy with no face pic. What happened when he opened was a stocky guy and nothing like I would have even entertained.
 
I always said if this happened I would call him out and leave but opposite happened. His massage actually was decent and he was into it. But because he did not attract me I was not into the mutual touch thing. Since he did a decent job I didn't say anything at the end, if I felt he did a poor job I may have called him out.
 
But, I would not go back to him and no one has ever inquired about him here so I never brought it up.
 
So to answer your question, a blatant fake pic (old pic I can forgive) no repeat business.

A+ massuer, nice looking, massage is interactive or physically active and although my first Thai massage, it will not be my last. This type of massage is everything- stretching, massage, meditation, breathing and then some. Did I mention he was sort of funny & nice also?

Bate and switch is normal on the internet everywhere. Not that it makes this right, but as long as you got the massage he advertised & you enjoyed it- no party fail there.
Sad that he thinks he has to post false photos to get hired.
Oddly, I almost hired him last November. So Thanks for the Heads Up. ((;

Been a client for years, but have not seen him in a few weeks.... I think he was visiting home. Ryan only advertises when he need to rebuild come clients and then takes his ad down again. He has a cute studio in a professional building in Dr Phillips. Yes, we all have a past (or two) and he is honest about his, but also trying to move on. He could not be any nicer and I feel his Trigger work is amazing... omg those elbows! I was happy to hear that he is known as legit theraputic massuer on this forum. Gonna email and hopefully get an appointment tomorrow, now that he is back in town and I am thinking about him.

WOW... love the clarifcation. There is a whole new world out there. Thx!

Sensual Massage is focused on the actual touch of the skin. Stimulating the skin and the senses. It may be very soft, or firm. It may excite and even turn you on and it may include a happy ending. But its goal is to stimulate and soothe.
 
Therapeutic Massage is focused on the muscle and tissues underneath the skin. It includes many portions of the sensual massage, but it is focused on moving the muscles, breaking down adhesions, stretch, increase the range of movement and enhancing the body fluid movement. It may turn you on and it may or may not include a happy ending. But its goal is to relax.
 
Erotic Massage is focused on erogenous zones and turning you on. It is meant to stimulate your awareness, instead of your skin. Your skin may be stimulated, but the focus is on increasing your awareness and sexual presence. It may include stroking your cock or edging you. It may include your nipples, nape of your neck, hands, feet, ass, taint, cock, or anything else that may turn you on and heighten your senses. It is usual to expect a happy ending, or use it as a prelude to something more sexual. A happy ending is not unusual. But the goal is to turn you on.
 
It more blunt terms... sensual is rubbing; therapeutic is massaging; and erotic is foreplay.
 
Just my tuppence.

What exactly is the difference between Sensual and Exotic... seems like that line is draw differenty across the board from my expereinces. Please share.
