Agree with everyone who says add a face pic or two. I’m with most...no face pic, no dice. I’ve been burned too many times where I’ve seen absolutely SLAMMING bodies, then they show up and the face is busted.

Agreed, @Indigo. Aside from Jerry Springer, who pays for an escort with a check? That’s why I could never fly an escort in from a different state. Besides that I couldn’t afford that, I can’t imagine the logistics of it...send him a plane ticket? The money for the ticket? What if he doesn’t get on the plane? What if he arrives and is terrible at his “job”? Now I’m stuck with this guy for a day plus or whatever? Not for me. Even an overnight I wouldn’t do.

Yeah, that would go over well. How are you going to explain to the cop that you’re in a motel with a dude you don’t know, gave him money (for what? the cop would naturally ask), and because he didn’t get hard, you think he “stole” your money?! Don’t get me wrong, I agree that the money should be returned (or at least partial), but to call the cops? That’s like calling them for a drug deal gone bad.

Yeah, and what if he didn’t find this thread and realize that, instead of supporting him, we find what he did despicable? And, at first, he tried to defend an indefensible position, as well as try to SELL us something (read the PS in his first post). FOH! Outing someone is NEVER OK and that bell cannot be “unrung.” To potentially damage someone’s life, marriage, safety, job and God knows what else because you were miffed that he wasted your precious time is unconscionable and a disgrace to your profession. An apology after realizing people are not with you on this and the damage has already been done is totally unacceptable.

I like that he advertises 50 and 80 minutes. How many times in this forum have we had guys say they were shorted ten minutes and if you’re going to make the massage 50 minutes and not 60, you should advertise that. This guy is, that’s a good start. I wish someone had good experiences as he’s just my type. I’ll wait just in case.

An absolute textbook example of penny-wise and pound foolish.

IMHO, so far bedpage REALLY sucks. Someone posted it here a few weeks ago and I was watching it. Unfortunately, it seems to have very little regulation, so while that may be a good thing in some corners, the Male section is literally overrun with female ads. And some ads don’t even specify whether it’s a male or female. There is no way to flag the ad as wrong category or anything. All in all, it was a mess.

Well, don’t keep us in the dark, Boomer. Spill! Details, details!

This thread, indeed, has some fantastic tips. For right now, I’ll add: Have realistic expectations of your client’s appearance. While you may get lucky and get an appt. with a hot gym body, most of the time, that’s not going to happen. Be prepared to deal with heavy, older, partially physically disabled men, etc. and treat them all equally, even if you’re faking it. As long as you’re good at doing that, you'll get repeats. And if you decide HE is appropriate, at least pretend to be into it. I hate when you look up and the masseur is looking away and/or looking bored. Get a portable table. Personally, I will not hire a masseur who doesn’t have one. Whether it’s true or not, I always think to myself if he were legit, he’d have a table. Plus, I’ve had several on beds and despise it. I can’t get comfortable, and I can’t see how the masseur can be comfortable. Plus it takes away one of the thrills of a massage for me, which is when they get close to my hand (if you know what I mean). Beds are awkward for that.

Ah, gotcha, Tasso. Thanks.

What do you mean by this Tasso? I don’t get it.

It’s 278 Plandome Rd. in Manhasset.

Ok, where to begin? Lol. The post that evdude found (thanks BTW!) is a spa at 1350 Deer Park Av in North Bab. They, along with a couple of other locations, used to advertise on a site that we all know that is now defunct. I will not mention it here. The guy in the pic is NOT the guy that I saw as a walk-in. So, they may have more than one guy. Without reviewing and violating rules, I’ll say the technical aspect of it was what you’d expect from these R&T places. There’s another one at 107 Stewart Av in Hicksville. At that one, I had a very small twink who “upsold,” and the massage was not only terrible, but a disaster technically. The upsell did not help the situation. One more on Plandome Rd. in Manhasset. This one is on the second floor. I can’t remember the exact location, but I’ll try to find it. Parking is not great, though I had 4-handed massages twice. Not the best, but not the worst, either. All of these are Asian guys only, no others. To answer the burning question, yes, I was satisfied when I left at all locations, even if it was slightly mechanical. I have another potential in Sayville that I will get back to all of us on if it pans out. I remember the duo from Medford, too. Only had a 4-handed once and thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it. Had numerous sessions singularly with one of the duo and immensely enjoyed those as well. Nuff said. Hopefully I’ll find another advertisement for him soon.

The link that @EVdude posted is, indeed, a spa. I have more info for you @Robbie L but I’m getting ready for work now. Will post in a couple of hours.

I’m usually a lot more subtle than you guys. When lying face down, I just make sure my hands are as close to the edge of the table as they can be without falling off. If he’s even slightly interested, he knows where my hands are, he can put his bulge there. If he does, i subtlety move my fingers once, like I’m clenching my fist and “oops, happen to touch ‘it,’” but then it’s all up to him. If he continues with it there (or on the other hand as well), then it’s game on for later. If he moves away, or when he goes to the other side he doesn’t come close, that’s all the hint I need that we won’t have any fun. I’ve read many providers say if he’s “right there,” he knows it and it’s not a mistake. I’ve also had legitimate massages in legitimate spas where the masseur never even comes close to where you could feel him, so IMHO if you’re close enough that I can feel you, you’re doing it on purpose.

It’s posts like these that really grind my gears on this site. C’mon, Brutus, don’t be so daft. We ALL know it was Mrs. Peacock in the ballroom with the lead pipe! Isn’t it obvious?!

“Remember I am straight!” Translation: I have no problem taking your homersexshul money so you can lust after me, but I won’t do anything or let you do anything to me. Cause, ya know, straight. ‘Murica. Hard pass for me.

Also, it may help to open a browser and go directly to the A4A site instead of using the app. That’s what I do.

Guys, is it just me or is $700/hr outrageously expensive? And not even for the “full experience,” but muscle worship only. Am I wrong on this?

“I still remember when 30 was old.”

Can agree with all the positives on Apollo. Have hired him numerous times and never a bad time. Some times were better than others, but that’s true of everything. And he is, indeed, an extremely personable guy.

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.”

I agree with you, Tarheel. I used to search the services section for "m4m" and, in a trick I don't see used anymore, it would bring up several ads that were not the type of ads you'd expect. For example, a contractor would include "m4m" in a list of words at the bottom of his post. What I didn't understand sometimes was when a normal looking ad would come up. That would force me to do a "find" for the term and, here's the 'trick' I'm referring to, all of those keywords were written in white font. So a white font against a white background doesn't appear unless you search the page using find. So anyone looking at the ad wouldn't see it, but if they did a specific search for that keyword, the ad would come up. I used to love looking for ads like that, but it stopped long before CL shut down the personals.
