Hey, speaking of bad vibes, any of you LA guys also get first texts like: Are you into bondage? Can I tie you up? U wanna have a 3sum with my dog? I'd be interested to know what your "ignore ratio" is. Out of every ten clients, how many do you ignore on average due to bad vibes?

I also use a text app. Always assume the masseur will look up your telephone number, like how you look up theirs. Sites like mylife (used to say, for free at least) if someone has court records (but this could mean divorce, bankruptcies, traffic tickets, etc.) I once had a fairly rich client who used his real name and phone number, and an otherwise unscrupulous masseur could easily take this guy down and make his life miserable. If the president of a major company knew his second in command was hiring escorts... oh boy right!?

I would run away and wouldn't look back if it made me think that this was false advertising. But when you're really lean it doesn't take much to ruin your physique, and I really don't expect anyone who looks like a bodybuilder to be in peak shape year round. But don't let that excuse the fact that if his ad has pictures of his best physique, then he should be at least close to what you see in his pics! If his pics have abs and you see a beer belly, run away!

I've gotten gross massages at parlors, and on people's tables, and absolute badass ones on hotel room beds. Ever have someone join ya in on a shower? I once got in and had someone say, "Hey, wait for me!" and got a rubdown in the shower. Reverse is also true. So look for pizza out in open, stanky animals, dog/cat hairs everywhere, condoms in the bathroom trashcan, TV set on, horrible lighting/environment/music, oh my I could go on forever with annoying things I'm sure we have all seen, lol. Though usually the first hints to call it off start coming your way before you even get there... like in text messages when you ask questions and look at reviews on this forum.

Just wondering... has anyone gotten a massage lately? How safe did you feel? And would you still get a massage if the masseur says he is going to wear a face shield and mask (though you don't have to) and also limits duration to only 30 minutes (since duration also increases risk when two people are in close proximity)?

Ahahahahaha! True dat. A scanned photo? Man, last time I had a (dedicated) scanner... was whew, maybe 10+ years ago??? Wahahahahaha!

Place doesn't seem that bad... I'd park my car there. There's like an art college nearby and apartments across the street housing students; it seems pretty safe. Maybe he's a poor student at the nearby college or something so it's convenient to use the cheap inn since it's right across the street. Knowing he's in a dump though, I would have just asked "are you using a bed or table?" If this dude is charging $200+ and using a cheap inn and their cheap bed, you're probably right to avoid. Was he any good-lookin'? Escortish-type hehehe? Young art-studentish type? Don't be afraid to think with the little head sometimes! Not too much but just a little!

There's a book you can find online if you look hard enough (or rather if you know where to look hahaha google Library Genesis). It's the idea that you can help a person who's sick by transferring "Ki" from the "healthy guy" to the "sick guy" by "putting a hand" on them. In the book the guy says he came up with it in China during WWII, when he and a bunch of guys came down with a serious case of the shitz, and by putting pressure on his stomach with his hands every hour, the shitz were gone the next day hahaha. Seriously, it's in the book. He also wrote about having an eye problem -- lumps in his eyes -- and by putting pressure on his eyelids they disappeared within 10 minutes. Reminds me of Karsai Nei Tsang, it's supposed to remove sediment from your genital veins, cure infertility, hahahaha, but I tell clients I do it not because of that but because some of the movements just "feel really good" !

Yeah, when things changed due to that one law a couple years ago, they started requiring Driver's Licenses (at least on massagefinder, which is same company as I recall, where I had a free ad, they wanted a DL/State ID).

On RM they get around it by using the "free month," which doesn't require payment+ID. Once the "free month" is up they just create a new account. Legit masseurs, after the free month on RM, must show ID and pay either $19 or $39.

Crazy pic-stealing scammers!

My #1 most favorite massage ever turned into one hilarious fuckfest, and I told someone about this masseur... he went... and he said it was the worst experience he's ever had lmao! So YMMV! He started grabbing too early, ended up getting no massage because the masseur thought he just wanted to get straight into the extras, then he lowballed the starting offer, and refused to take my advice and bring ur own condom, as some places won't have them because they are pretty incriminating if found during raids. It just went to hell after that hahaha. So to me, YMMV = You're not me and I'm not you, so our experiences may differ.

I would only be suspicious if texting a (new) masseur (with no reviews) and all he gives you is BBBJ = $100, BBBJ/CIMWS = $150, BBFS = $200, CIA = $250. What ever happened to the massage right? LOL.

and oh how so close the table is to the bed hahahaha!

That's kind of an interesting scenario you brought up lol. How many of you guys would call the police, ask for a police report, and then sue your masseur if you got hurt while having sex on his massage table?
