Jaimie, as you and I have talked many times, private and public, you are the obvious exception to the rule. I'm talking about the trend in these prices over the last year, mostly people who DO NOT offer what you do, DO NOT offer any experience etc etc. Remember the clients costs for everything else is going up to. I don't mind paying for a decent massage. Generaly rule anything over 180 is likely not a massage. So why not kid everyone by calling it a massage. Personally I think guys who hire the 200-400 "masseurs" sleep at night by saying they hired a masseur vs. an escort. Lets be honest those charging 200-400 are clearly escorting. I recall a year ago the average rate for a decent masseur was in the 120-150 range now its the 180-200 range. Thats a HUGE jump. I'm sorry you cannot say all of that is based on price hikes etc. I think one member put it correctly by saying they are testing the waters to see what they can get away with. But when clients book them and pay that it enables it. I get that. But there are many here who publicly state they won't book a masseur if they don't kiss, nip play, FK etc. To them I say go hire an escort I'm not the only one who has expressed this. Sorry to keep harping on this

You are 100% correct. I think the issue is that its hard to find one UNDER 180-200 these days. I'm seeing MORE and MORE of 200+ as the norm. This has been happening over the last year or so. YES covid and inflation is part of it, but it can't be all of it. Yes people's rent etc are going up. But to charge $50+ more is insane. Lets say an average masseur does very conservative 10 a week, that's $500 or $2k a month (again i'm being super conservative, that number is likely MUCH higher). Just like the masseurs are being charged more for things, so are the clients (my utilities, gas, food etc) is also skyrocketing. Also I see many ads justifying there cost with amenities - table, etc etc. But when they are traveling MOST of them don't have these amenities, so why still charge? Sorry to rant about this. While Jaimie is correct, its just harder and harder for one to find a decent massage at a decent price. Thanks for listening

If someone is charging 180+ AND getting all of that (vs a spa where they get a portion) why should I tip?

to be honest that was nearly 2 years ago so can't recall

bump... has anyone booked with him

https://rentmasseur.com/Markkus Anyone book with him? If so how was it (post here or PM) Thanks

Thanks Makeme, for providing a good review vs. the many who just want to talk about his package along with anything else related to his massage skills

uhhhh Yeah thats what (i assumes most are on here for). If i'm gonna book with someone before I spend money want to know what im getting as far as a massage goes Otherwise, create a new board on here called "trash/critize the masseur" and keep this board for folks like me who are getting information to book or not.

bump.. looking for massage.. has anyone had one with him? If so can you PM me. T hanks

WOW.. he is hot.. is there a link to his partner? Assuming it was a good experience. How was the massage part. I have had mixed results with 4hands

Bump.... has anyone actually booked with him?

Sadly you are correct. There is one guy locally who charges 175 for a 100% therapeutic, no clothes come off, no touching no nothing. The massage I suspect will be great but damm 175 for a 100% therapeutic, no thank you. I recall, not all that long ago, when the range was 120-150 Now it seems to be 160-200 - of which this are not good massages on top of that. I get inflation etc. But lets say you raise your rates a modest $25 (hideously low). Multiply that by the number of guys they see a month and they are taking in a few thousand more a month, which I suspect is way more than their increased expenses - IMHO I also suspect, as has been said, they are likely escorts trying to get "massage" clients. But then again I see many replies here where guys are asking if they suck, fuck, put out etc etc. Guess it goes both ways. Ok done rambling LOL Sad...

Check out his rate $280 Me thinks you are NOT getting a massage. All these similar ads for "massage" which really should be on RentMen as escorts IMHO No way $280 is legit massage p.s. HOT looking guy and body

Agree yours are. Your profile clearly states everything. I'm talking about MOST who dont post info and then say ask me for everything. That plus the TEXT only is a big put off to me and many others. Man if was local we would be getting together for sure. One day

I will agree with that to a point. I think the poster, like many, have just seen an overwhelming shift in the "ask me". It seems to be the norm now. Perhaps in your profile, state: base rate of xx and to share prices for anything extra. I have also seen too many times where masseurs talk about all their extras, which I agree can be charged. But yet they are on the road and don;'t have ANY of those. I see your side. But see it from the consumer side - it is frustrating to see ASK most of the time now. Then you have to dig through reviews to see what they charge. Sorry just venting. I agree with the poster, this seems to be a very increasing trend (ask). Thanks for listening AND thanks for your valued opinion from a masseur perspective.

Agree with all comments If you are not showing your price, too many red flags go up. To RichardBl's point this appears to be a trend over the last year or so (perhaps Covid). It wasn't like this before or at least not nearly as common To the masseurs out there, can you shed some light on this? Its annoying and irritating to see this

no one seems to want to know about his massage - just his bulge/package

I booked with both of them recently. I agree great experience.

Never mind... forgot we texted last time he was here. I opted NOT to book with him based on that

bump.. he is back in town. has anyone booked with him

Bump.. anyone actually book with him

Have had very mixed (mostly bad) experiences with 4-hand. Can anyone share more info on the 4 hand experience - you can PM me. Also curious what the 4H rate would be (prob too high for me)

https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/43280/ Any info on this guy/has anyone booked with him? If so HMU please

Curious if there is a link to his partners page
