Hey_Jay

Current rate is 200 for 60 minutes. IMO that a steep rate for just therapeutic! 

I agree! No massage skills other than being nice! Pictures are accurate and yeah really tight space! He could’ve set it up in the living area but I wasn’t sure maybe there’s no much space in there too! One timer for me

It wasn't that long ago that average rates seemd to be in the 120-160 range.  
Somehow, coming out of the pandemic,  200 was the norm.   That is a nice, round number, but is way beyond the rate of inflation to the period.  
 

I put the massage fee in one pocket and the tip money in another pocket so for a "just okay" experience, the tip money doesn't see the light of day. 

When the hour massage rate was around 120-140 and 90 minutes is around 150 I get a lot of massages! Like 2-3 x a month
 
Now at 200 average for an hour massage (not to mention if you’re actually gonna get a good one) I’ve only been going once a month or sometimes less. 
 
I can still afford it if I want to but I’m really looking right now on the value for what you pay for. So my massage frequency definitely dropped more than 50%. I also, wonder if massage providers here are noticing the decline. Or is it just me? lol

I agree! I find it ridiculous when a new masseur on RM or MF starts off with a rate of $200 or even more. Automatic pass. Similarly, I am done with most travelers charging these rates. They are obviously milking local markets for whatever they are worth. I will make an appointment at $200 or under $300 for 90 minutes, though, if I see stellar reviews here. These are vary rare cases anyway.
So, I rely on a couple of local masseurs in Orlando when I make it there, here in the Tampa Bay Area the picture is pretty grim. I do have a masseur who no longer advertises and likes to see me when we both find time, though 😁.
Bottom line, one has to provide enough VALUE for the price charged. If the gap between the two is too small, one cannot generate much business, and then one has to travel and skim local markets, lower the price, or improve the offering. A local masseur who doesn't travel but has been in business for a while is a good bet, especially if you like his ad, he must be doing something right. Or regional travelers that keep serving the same handful of markets. National or international travelers, especially those who see themselves as models and charge insane rates, are best avoided IMHO.

I had him once before he moved to Chicago! Very good skills probably one of the best! But it was purely therapeutic for me. Another visit or two could change it but didn’t get the chance! Looks like he’s still Therapeutic until now and dams he’s aging like a fine wine hotter IMO based on his pics!

re bumping this I'm almost there lol but dang 300 for 60 minutes!!!

So from my observation it hasn’t dropped looks like 150 is the new 120. Admittedly, my frequency of getting massages has significantly went down lol. I use to get 2-3 massage a month at around 120-140 range. Now it’s like once a month or every other month. It’s not really whether I can afford it because the I think I still can. It’s more the of VALUE from what you’re paying for. I wonder if masseurs noted a drop in their clients when massage rates went up. So whenever I decide for a massage for a rate say 180 or above I just have to rationalize and think of other options where I can get more value from it like a nice dinner with friends in a fancy restaurant or a stay in a nice hotel maybe I get to take home a hot DILF at the bar kidding! I wonder if some peeps here are on the same page.

Anyone has some intel? Thanks

Here is a look at the availability feature for your reference (below). I only use the one hour availability option because that’s actually realistic, and it matches all the other platforms I use that have availability functions in maximum 1-hr format…so my availability displays consistently across platforms +/- a couple mins.
Sometimes I flag myself available for an hour and I get a text 10 mins later requesting an appointment to start within the next hour. Unless I actively change it back, it will list me as available for the rest of the hour, which technically I am…available to respond promptly to inquiries. Sometimes available “now” for a massage as well. In this scenario, it depends if you are the client contacting me in the first 10 mins after I flag or the last 50 mins. It can change within the hour, but it looks the same to the client.
Also, I am not necessarily tethered to the studio. I may be heading to the gym or running an errand, and turn around if I get a client, or in the middle of a workout and have to tell the client I can start you at X time, factoring in wrapping up, showering, driving, and any last minute setup.
“Online” now (green) means logged in currently or very recently, whether actively looking at the screen or not. This may have nothing to do with whether I can take a client “now” or not. I might ironically be responding to a RentMasseur massage saying I am NOT available now, but here is my next availability x, y, and z. 
 
Some of you seeing “available now” 24/7 may be seeing a guy selecting 6 hours at a time! Which IMHO is unrealistic at best.

Good luck. We'll definitely be awaiting those details.

Well said!!!
 
the rate we’re paying nowadays is went up like 30% 
150+ is the new 120 
I agree I tip on mostly spa and other establishments but only a few times on masseurs on RM and MF. 
I still resent a 200 rate for a 60 minute massage lol since I’m more of the actually massage and if something happens after it’s a bonus! (It takes 2 to tango)
 
Honestly, my frequency of getting massages has gone down 50% not sure if I’m the only one. I can afford it still it’s just more of the value for what you are actually paying for. Coz that’s a nice f*cking dinner for two at a nice LA restaurant for 200 so I need to get my moneys worth 😊

Thought this post may be helpful of those in search of a masseur in Palm Springs. These are provides I’ve hired since 2020 and present. These are just my experience so your session may not be that of the same as mine. PM me if you want more deets.
Dino:
Dino was also very present in my session. I know some folks had mentioned he was detached, but not for me. Lots of breath work during my session and things did heat up towards the end. Lots of MT and HE included. He’s a very handsome guy and his full body massage was very good also. Massage rate is more on the expensive side, but I would book again.
 
Tim:
Very good pressure full body massage. He was in his underwear until closer to the end where he whips it out and let you touch his very impressive piece and you get a HE. He’s a very nice guy and massage rate is very reasonable. 
Alejandro: 
Massage was meh. Movements and transitions weren’t synchronized. Nothing memorable to mention, but he is a very handsome guy. MT and HE included.  
Kris:
Massage was average, nothing memorable to mention. He is a very handsome guy and he tries to give you a good massage experience. MT and HE included.  
Frank:
Massage was full body and was quite good. He was going through something at the time I saw him so he cut the session short, but the good thing was he only charged me for half the session, which was what I had received. I would have rather he canceled the session and I would have been okay with it. MT and HE included and his massage rate is reasonable.  
Shawn:
Massage was full body deep tissue/swedish blend and very spa quality. He was very intuitive with finding all the knots. Shawn is completely therapeutic and he is in shorts the entire time. No MT/no HE. Massage rate is very reasonable for a therapeutic session. 
Stephen:
Massage was full body deep tissue blend and a very good one at that. He too was intuitive and was able to dig out the knots. Started off with him clothed and then as the session progressed, sensuality/erotic was incorporated. MT/HE included and his massage rates are very reasonable for what he offers. Great overall experience. 
Tarryl:
Massage is very deep tissue and I mean VERY!!! My feet are pretty sensitive so when he tackled them with the brute force of pressure, I had to let him know to dial back, which he listened and did. He’s completely therapeutic and wore shorts the entire session. His bulge did graze the back of my arms a bit during the session, which was a nice treat. No MT/no HE. Massage rate is reasonable.

I couldn’t find the other link. But looks like no one has ever been to him. He’s now doing incalls but hopefully I could find more information here before I embark on a road trip lol thanks in advance 

I saw him a few ago, definitely a weird vibe. He was not that muscular before so maybe roids why he packed that much muscle in a short time. I forgot the experience...so it means very unmemorable. lol
