Well, at least his 1300 posts cover a wide variety of providers. Your posts have about as much variety as the gene pool in a West Virginia Walmart. But please keep posting! You'll turn your 80 ads for Utopia/Shangrila into 1300 real soon, I'm sure.

It doesn’t matter what did you say man. I knew only one Mike which I like at Shangrila is 30s not 50s. Someone tried to mislead us and ruin his job. I didn’t post anything after November 2020 because I was not in New York.

You might want to dial it back a bit. I don't know @Manmed but he does have about 1300 posts on this board, which gives him a decent amount of cred. 

Editing to add that I took a quick glance at your posting history. Not surprisingly, it is almost exclusively about Shangrila and Utopia, which just makes me wonder who really is the one who is affiliated with certain spas... 🤔

Damn. I didn’t realize that. Affiliated with spas I should posted more than 1300 reviews to be free ads. How silly I am. Just posted 80. Thanks for reminding me. Great logic. 👍

Mike will become famous definitely because of his mysterious age. I think more and more people will figure out the truth. Even competition shouldn’t like that. Happy Friday.🥂

Why would you assume that? I would think you were affiliated with a spa based on your defense of the said Masseur. 

Good question. it’s shamed to mislead people and ruin poor guy’s job in such hard period. No one likes liars.

Same with me. My 'Mike' definitely was not 30,  skinny, no muscle and not a twink. Skills were mediocre at best. 

We already knew your guys are affiliated with some spas. Don’t mislead us. Shamed.

Manmed you are so  fun, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, I know that guy, same thing Like what you said 

It’s weird. I knew Mike before pandemic. He is a nice Asian . 30’s.  Fit and smooth skin. Techniques are not the best but better than the most guys. I trust ROBENYC AND fm0322. This forum will be ruined by fake members. No one treats a masseur like that. Shamed. 

Oh no! What will happen to Dylan ???

Yeah if no clients. They will shut down one by one. ???

What does Quincy look like?

Good looking young Asian

Just tried Vince. Would not recommend.

Thank you for sharing. I Will try Ricardo instead.

What's the promotion?

68 for member, promotion page has details on website. www.shangrilaspanyc.com

Anyone got message from shangrila? Said Great promotion.

I got a young and strong Latin American guy, at engery men

I like energy men spa.

Simon who is nice masseur has moved over from Utopia on the Upper East Side and is now working at Shangrila. He told me shangrila will have special promotions soon.

How old? 30+, 40+ or 50+?

He is great . Big strong hands. Former boxer, around 40s I guess. Called but he was not there.

Where's the best spa to go to for a body scrub?

27, energy, utopia, shangrila

Any hot Latinos to recommend?

I saw a hot muscurlar Latino with tattoo at shangrila. Sounds like strong hands, definitely will try him. His name might be Vince or Vincent. Will share my experience soon.

Bump. Anyone see Quincy yet?

Quincy is great therapist at shangrila.

Is Franco still dead?

I am still alive?

Hey boys,

 

Check out the story I wrote on Reddit about a recent NYC massage I experienced. Every detail is true, and it still makes me horny thinking about it.

Great imagination. Great writer ???

Interested in trying out shangrila spa. Can anyone send me a message as to what I can expect and who are best masseurs to ask for?

 

My go to has been Andy at w men - who is fantastic - but looking to try something different.

Highly recommend Eduardo at Shangrila. Nice Latino. Fit , good looking, skillful .

Seems like a lot of guys are leaving Shangrila. Just had a final massage with Ragin who said he’s moving back home upstate. Who is at Shangrila now besides Patrick??

Latino Jose is at Shangrila now. It was said Rodrigo will be back Shangrila next week.

Utopia had been renovated recently. Looks nice.

Utopia had been renovated recently. Looks nice.

hi everyone, been reading the forum for a couple of years and finally decided to join, thought I would redo my last post.

 

Returning to NYC after being gone for a couple of years, and am curious about some of the newer spas if some of you could give some advice.

 

I’m looking for a good deep massage with some sensual aspects. I’m a runner so I especially like to get my glutes & legs worked on. Masseur I like asian/thai, on the older side, someone who knows what they are doing!!!

 

Private shower is nice too. I used to go to the One Men Spa, how is that place holding up? Is it worth going back to? I mention the private shower because the set up there was always a little cramped. I liked the set up at Living Fresh but found the price was no longer worth it.

 

Any recommendations would be most welcome!

 

thanks in advance

Welcome back. Patrick is Thai guy in Shangrila. Highly recommend. Worth the price. Members are always intitled to a free table shower body scrub.

How many massages do you think a masseur does on a non-peak day vs a peak day? 2 on a non-peak day? 3? 4-5 on a peak day?

 

Let’s say he does 2 on a Monday - Thursday type day. Those days he made $80 per your $20 tip example. On a weekend (Friday - Sunday) they do 4 that would be $160 on those days. A 6 day week would net you $240 + $480 or $720. Mind you this is also tax free (if we want to talk about fair, why am I responsible for paying taxes and they are not?) $720 a week works out to be $34,000/year no tax. I’m not suggesting this is a luxury life they are living but considering it requires no education

 

thats an interesting way of looking at it.

 

The other more realistic way is that on a Monday at 1 pm, they need to incent customers to visit so they reduce their prices.

Everyone has a good opinion. Can not tell whose wrong or right. I like to talk with them after i built good relationships with my favorite masseurs. Let’s analyze it little bit. 1, it’s not true they didn’t pay taxes. They have to do If want a good life when they retired. The job only short time when they are young. Nobody wants to get massage from old people right? 2, everyone need food . Shelters, transportation that also need money, not free. This is not a simple maths like you did. Spa also has high season and low season. Sometimes no client. Someone figure out they can get 720 for one week. So 1day 100, 1hr only 13 if 8 hrs a day. I don’t think this is good and enough profit for anyone. 3, some people paid tips according to 20%. I think it doesn’t work on this. For example restaurant staff severs many tables and costumers. But masseur only servers a single person. That’s definitely different. 4, most clients want great massage and more extra. Maybe the client could get great experience at the first time. But when they knew the client didn’t pay for extra. They won’t deliver more extra . Remember,no free meals at all. To be a smart man, you want happy, why not make both you and masseurs happy ? But bad service and greedy masseur those excluded in the situation. You could complain and refuse to tip definitely. Anyway treat others well you will be treated well.

I guess two hours are too long for most therapists. They need to stand and bend down for two hours. That’s probably the reason.

I think so.
