Perhaps his published rate is for "new customers". I would just pay the original rate unless the masseur mentions something.

Where is this coming from? Did the OP do something to offend you?

Not nice. Uncalled for. Aren't there enough snarky people without you joining them?

Regardless of whether the client may or may not have seen the new rates, it's up to the masseur to disclose any changes in prices. If you go to a spa, prices are posted, but with an independent masseur, it is entirely possible that a client may never see the masseurs ad again after the initial booking. I have several masseurs' phone numbers in my phone and I contact them directly without looking for their ads. If the masseur wants their regular clients to pay the new rate, that's a conversation they need to initiate. A masseur would be stupid to think "Gee, I hope they saw my new rates online." I see a masseur privately who used to work at a spa. I used to pay the spa rate to see him, but now I pay more to see him privately (almost double what I used to pay, actually). I can certainly see the need to charge more going independent, and I choose to pay his new rate. However, if I paid $X to see someone last month and now they want to charge me $20, $50 more and there's no significant change in situation that I'm aware of, I will make the decision if he is worth the extra money. Ideally, he should tell me of the new rate at the time of booking my next appt. If he tells me as I'm paying after the massage is over, that's bad manners.
 
Raising rates on repeat customers usually isn't a good idea. As stated above, repeat clients are their bread and butter. It's easy money and no hassle. They know what the expectations are with their client; there's no stress about potential law enforcement; there's significantly less risk of no show or last minute cancellations, etc. If they want to test the waters to see if they can get more with new clients, then more power to them. As the client, I have every right to decide if I'm willing to pay the new rate. But thank you for your judgmental comment about being a cheapskate. Very helpful to the conversation!

I have the opposite reaction. I keep paying the rate I've always paid. As a regular customer, I don't feel the need to pay more. We're not talking about inflation and paying rates from 10-20 years ago. If the masseur wants to have the discussion that he needs to charge me more, then fine. I'll decide if I want to keep seeing that provider at the new rate.

You wait for him to let you know. You said he is your "regular masseur", which means you are his "regular client." For a masseur, "regular clients" are their bread and butter. If he wanted to raise your rate, he would have told you. He obviously does not want to raise your rate, since he has said nothing, since you are a regular. Leave it at that, and enjoy your massage sessions, knowing that you give him steady business, which is what any masseur wants = Regular Clients.

Wait for him to say something. “Why would he be re-reading my ad constantly” should be masseur’s frame of mind. And you’re not being a cheapskate.

Maybe they had too many complaints about having to verify yourself via your FB acct.

He looks like he fell asleep at a party and someone who doesn't like him used a sharpie all over his body!

I totally gets the excitement of just walk in there with no appointment, that excites me a lot, however, i always recommend to read this forum before making a decision, SM Spa is quite expensive, it would not be nice to get there and get a lemon.

He gets a thumbs up from me!!! Looks like his pictures - he stripped down to underwear for our session. Tall, handsome and friendly guy! Massage was good - at least a B if I have to give a grade; I suspect he may have received some training. Not just a light rub, but a nice medium pressure as requested and even used some medium percussion appropriately. As he promised in his rentmasseur ad, you will be happy in the end. I will gladly repeat.

Uhhhh. Sometimes it’s better not to abbreviate.

IDK, but I see a ton of threads titled "411 on Masseur X from XYZ City" and people post their recommendations all the time. I can understand the need to not be graphic but still...

It means, “I want to have more people click on my profile”
 
As a top, I just avoid them. I don’t care if I’m missing out. You’re either versatile or you’re not.

It's disappointing and it has happened to me a couple of times, but I understand. I love rimming (really love it!) and I also love kissing, especially while fucking a guy. Fortunately, it's only happened a couple of times.

Bummer... an entire set of pics that aren’t his, shocking! Thanks for the link.
