Hey_Jay

Remember Moe- it's not always looks that make you irresistible. It's the chemistry between the parties . . . And the size of your wallet that plays a part.

It’s all over the place for me. I’ve had good massages from under $150 price points and not so good ones from higher price points, and vice versa. It doesn’t make sense to me paying a higher price for one with so-so massage skills. I could get the extras anywhere so that should not be the determining factor. Heck I could get it from a guy checking me out at the bar last night for free. It should be the skills.

Reading thru the posts I noticed something was not clarified. Are we talking masseurs that are offering therapeutic massage with no mutual touch, and no HE? I know many that are on the gay massage sites who slide by on their hot looks and only offer that and charge in the $120-$150 range, which I think is insane! Even seen some as high as $180.....for JUST a massage. I don't even go there with masseurs from Masseurfinder, M4M,etc. For that I just go for a strictly therapeutic massage at my local Massage Envy for $60. Now if I am horny, and want an EROTIC massage, I will go to MF, M4M, etc. and there are many that will offer nude, mutual touch, HE.....in that case my top price is $160. So just Therapeutic? Massage Envy for $60. For Erotic? $160.

Well here’s my experience. I had had couple of massage with him. Overall, nice guy body to die for! Massage was ok to good nothing really special. He uses his body to massage you kinda weird but who wouldn’t want to be rubbed by that hot body. I’d say very sensual. Definitely lots of touching here and there....I run my fingers through his cherry it never went in tho but he didn’t push away so it kinda stayed there for a while. Half of the time he was fully hard and he'd let me stroke it. One time he came stroking himself while I worship his body so hot!

Excellent ones, and my two biggest red flags also. I would add:
 
Reverse number search not only shows other ads, but ads, quite literally, all over the country at the same time. I often think, “there’s no way this guy is in my area.”

yeah!!! photos that not even related to business they are offering...I'm ok with pics taken from their travels. I've seen a few showing the middle finger like why? duh!!!

I can definitely say that I had a great time with him! Very considerate to say the least. He definitely have massage skills although he only tends to focus on your upper back. As for the other part, well. lets just say imagine a soldier hasn't seen his wife after 1 year deployment that kind of intensity lol

You can also use the search function before asking about a masseur or ask a question and you might find useful info or you can also add to an existing thread.

totally agree!!!

I always notice the pics in hotel elevator mirrors and hotel bathroom mirrors. This is their normal "place of business" and pretty much what the guy looks like on arrival. They do have really messy bathrooms at home.

Now that MFinder and MassageM4M requires a face picture, they now advertise their headless/faceless picture on Backpage.

If they don't have a photo of the massage area with table I don't even consider.

Just like hiring a new employee, one never knows until they start work. But the up front communication style (or lack of good communication) can offer clues how seriously they are treating their massage clients.

Any photos with weapons in them. Guns, knives, pitchforks. I have seen them all. One photo a guy had a leather apron on that immediately made me think of chain saw massacre. Picture after picture scowling or angry looking.

I guess I have different "red flags" than a lot of you. My red flags:
 
1. I search the phone number and find an escort/massage ad for a woman or preop MTF transgender woman.
2. The price is as high as an escort rate and the ad text is entirely vague as to what service is being offered.
3. Image search leads to some other person online who is highly unlikely to be in my area offering massage.
4. I have seen the photos for a long time and they never change.

I have also discovered that most guys who post selfie pics in their bathrooms do not offer the cleanest incall sessions. You know the ones, you can still see the toilet seat up, tons of stuff on the bathroom counter, towels on the floor etc. Their apartment and or studio reeks, not well maintained. Remember what your mom taught you. If you’re going to have company over at clean your place up a bit ! I avoid these types of ads that have photos like this. Big red flag for me .

The 30 minute massage is geared to businessmen in a hurry and limited budget(married). I have seen a few who offer that and had a great time.

Does not have a table.
 
The only advertised style is "feather touch."
 
Prefers older clients. Prefers younger clients.
 
"Intuitive."
 
When you ask how long the massage lasts, the response is "You will leave satisfied."
 
States in ad "My room-rate knows my business."

Ads on Rentmen and MassuerFinder both.

Advertises only on Craigslist (no web site with reviews).
 
You Google search the phone number and all you get are escort ads.
 
Keeps having to call to explain why he is late for the outcall.
 
Uses paper towels to wipe you off.

Share your experience. I’d say a 30 min rate is one, too many reviews in within a month period (too sketchy) and sometimes a massage certification is never a guarantee. What’s your experience?

I can 100% confirm that at some point in this gent's career he has finished a dude off. I am that dude.

I agree! Sweet guy! overall, awesome experience. I’ll stop there

Hike your ass up in the air.
That's a signal you can give

Woof...will be interested to read first-hand feedback!
