The website was always a joke and I felt like I had to walk on eggshells with them.
I hardly ever get booked anymore by new clients over the weekends, and clients have told me that my profile completely disappears or that the phone number will disappear too. I thought it was a glitch, but why play with my livelihood like that?
I've always been in my own world and didnt pay attention to other masseurs, and the ones I reached out to were assholes and were using the website and industry to escort for quick cash. So I stayed quiet since there's no one else to really talk to about this industry.
Masseurfinder kept trying to revamp itself and took down the escort and sensual categories but it made everything more confusing by putting masseurs under therapeutic and relax. Since I prefer to do a softer swedish massage, I tried advertising under relax and then all the happy ending prospective clients started to call me at 2am.
I figured that since rentboy went down that the site owner of MF just wanted to save his ass and not get arrested. So they implemented new rules and disciplined masseurs for not knowing about the new rules. Like they made us include keywords like erotic and sensual in our therapeutic ads and then scolded us after they changed the rules.
I had over a dozen reviews since 2013 and they were removed for no good reason.
For years clients have told me they were frustrated with trying to write a review for me, but I barely found out that since 2018, clients have to send their reviews to the masseur by text or email and we submit them. An email stating that would have been nice, back then.
What's so frustrating for me at least is that I cannot see who my prospective clients are, at least if I can't vet them through their phone numbers and see their ages and social media. I dont want to massage certain ages and groups. In my experience of 10 years, I have bewn cheated and robbed, I have been assaulted, and I've been stalked by several men. There are some men that aggressively touch me and each time they are in a certain ethnic group that thinks I'm a whore that cant say no. I dont want to massage men over 60 because they are often also aggressive, and also super lonely and depressing and I don't care to encounter that. I hate pitying people. That's above my pay grade, I'm just a massage therapist, not a shrink and not an escort in one.
I suspect that masseurfinder might discipline us for advertising elsewhere. They shouldn't care as long they're being paid, but if they do, the audacity won't surprise me.
