    BeefyDude got a reaction from JAXATL in Best masseurs in Atlanta?   
    I kinda have to slightly disagree here.  First visit was amazing (awesome massage). They progressively started going down hill
    Many times he was late. I get to this place, which is hard to get up to his apt.  He is SUPER discreet and sneaks you in and out.  You cant talk loud or "moan" at the end.
    When I get there (for my agreed upon time), table wasn't set up. He then EVERY visit decides now is the time to make his protein shake.
    The last time I sat in the parking garage for 20 minutes after the appt. I was just leaving when he said come up - but yet still wasn't ready
    There is something else SUPER quirky which I'm not comfortable sharing here BUT was confirmed with another member
    First few times as said were great.    Doubt I will go back
    FYI... his updated body (whatever routine he did) is WORKING.  His body is F-in amazing (pics dont do him  justtice)

    Thanks for the contribution @BeefyDude. Traveling guys are all a little bit different. I agree the pricing should be as transparent as possible, but if they are at least quoting you upfront when you inquire, that should be ok.
    Traveling has many costs. Fuel, transportation and accommodations are the big ones, but also the time it takes to travel between cities. For example I had a four city tour last month and was driving all day between each city, and two days for the first stretch. That’s at least 6 days for that tour and those are whole days I am spending considerable $ but not making anything.
    In addition to travel costs you’re still paying for all your normal expenses at home like rent/mortgage, utilities, maintenance, etc. We have to charge what makes sense to cover ALL of that AND make a profit above and beyond what we normally make in order for it to make sense to travel. Otherwise, we’re busting our butts and going way out of our way for the same or less as we would get working out of our home cities. Has to make economic sense!
    For my last trip, I tallied my total income minus expenses and it was higher than my average monthly income but not by a huge margin. It basically bought me a week off which I sorely needed after working so hard hustling for 3-4 weeks…and I used that week to move out of state to California, which was not exactly a vacation lol. Frankly I’m not surprised other guys might charge a bit more when they travel. Opportunity is high, but so are the costs.
    Ads are a lot to manage when you’re going on a trip. I have at least five different ads plus my personal website. I’m not going to update rates on all of them and then change them right back 1, 2, or 4 weeks later. Meanwhile confusing my home city clients who view my ads at all times whether I am away or at home. I update my travel plans on ads that offer that feature, but not the other stuff.
    I don’t change my rates when I travel. The main benefit is that I’m booked back to back every hour of every day when I am in another city. I charge the same but do more volume than I do on an average day in my home city. It’s quite exhausting working 13+ hour days one after the other after the other, but it can be great for a short stretch. Some guys change what they charge to cover travel expenses and/or adjust for a different market, whether that be higher or lower pricing.
    I can’t replicate my incall experience when I travel but I get as close to it as possible. I’m in the minority in that regard. I refuse to book hotel rooms because they are so impersonal and almost always lack the space I need to set up a table and move around it freely. I refuse to give crappy bed massages. I need a table to provide a proper massage. And I’m not paying for a suite $$$.
    So…I rent AirBnBs and set up in a manner as close as possible to my home setup. I bring a towel warmer, stone heater, extra large table, all my own linens, aromatherapy, products, speakers, waters, cleaning and laundry stuff, and everything you could think of. And I have access to a washer and dryer. I can’t understand how the hotel guys do it. If you’re giving multiple massages per day, that means you’re re-using dirty linens! 
    If you ask me, you’re getting a killer deal considering my prices are the same and yet I’m doing a lot more and spending a lot more to make an excellent massage experience available to a client in another city.
    If a masseur quotes you something a little bit more when he’s traveling, have some grace. If it’s too much, decline and move on. It shouldn’t be outrageous. A nominal upcharge is not that crazy, especially if the masseur’s regular rates are reasonable to begin with AND he delivers a high quality experience. If he’s charging 200+ for “massage only” I have no pity. If he’s charging 120-160 or possibly less (per hour), I find that pretty reasonable. 
    My pair of pennies.

    I get that Simon.
    BUT (always a but lol)
    Some offer heated beds, fancy this fancy that but that ONLY if you goto them. So if they are traveling theoretically they should be charging less
    Also with travelers when I ask price they quote me higher than website. When I point that out, they say "oh thats my travel price" 
    To which I reply OK but why isn't documented on their page/
    I hope this is making sense.  I get where you are coming from, but see it from the customer perspective

    Agree to both.  Those that charge excess of 180-200+ are clearly NOT massaging.
    I steer clear away from them
    btw Simon, i looked at your ad.  You spell everything out there!!

    SAME here... ATL  Prices keep creeping up YET the quality is going DOWN (IMHO).  I see some of these ads and ask myself why the __ are they charging so much
    I get it you need to make money.  But if you want me to be a repeat, make it a reasonable rate.  Just sayin

    BeefyDude got a reaction from Harryinny in My conversation with deep_tissue   
    https://rentmasseur.com/deep_Tissue
    We spoke on the phone. He came across "straight" but real nice.  I asked what kind of massage he does, he said deep tissue (which is predominantly what I want).  I added some
    sensual components would be nice. He then asked the obvious question of what I mean.  I said mostly for me area of body and since he is BUILT to touch his
    muscles.  I also asked if I could self release at the  end.  I made it VERY clear - no sex (oral anal etc) and he doesn't even have to be nude.
    For this he said his price was - he said $250.   I then asked rate for just the therapeutic part, he said $150.   I asked so $100 for me to jack myself off - he said Yep
     
    HARD PASS for me despite his body being amazing.   This is my point of view. I know others will disagree with what I want/seek. Not the point of this. Point is to let you know about
    him what his rates and deal is etc.  Of course make your own judgements about him.

    newbie: glad you had a good time.  My experience including the "fun" was barely 30 mins.  Heck if it was close no biggie, but to pay $200 for that?

    So I saw him a few years back.  The experience was just meh.  Also got short changed on time.
    But hey people can change over time, so I booked with him again (at his much higher rate).
    If it lasted 30 mins I would be shocked.  I really was tempted to pay him half but that would have looked bad counting it 
    He offered a 4-hand with his (also HOT) partner.  SO glad I did not do that and waste more money
    On the plus side - AMAZING body
    Anyways, just wanted to give y'all the heads up.

    BeefyDude got a reaction from themsg in **** FRAUD SCAMMER ALERT ***** Zaneandmilaan   
    WARNING TO ALL:   These guys are smooth talking SCAMMERS.   AVOIOD at ALL COSTS
    https://rentmasseur.com/zaneandmilaan
    They were in my city (allegedly). Prior to that we have some wonderful chats.  They are SMOOOTH talkers for sure.  They required a deposit (yeah you know where this is going).  I sent half ($175) via Venmo
    The meeting was for Saturday 3pm    Thurs or Fri they asked for the balance stating they like to get money out of the way so no stress - blah blah.    I was very hesitant but paid the venmo balance.
    As i'm driving to hotel Saturday 15 minutes before they texted me to cancel with some crazy ass drama story about being stalked and the person calling every hotel complaining about them.  They said they would get a new hotel and get back to me.
    NOTHIGN till sunday am.  They even said if you want we will refund. I said Yes.
    I should post the chat log.  You gotta see their excuses first hand.  Not only were they stalked but ended up by some drug trafficking lord and they were being interviewed by police to make a report.  WHY they couldn't;t take minutes to pay me back i dont understand.  Well now I do, they are scammers
    They kept responding throughout the day but kept saying they have to arrange funds to pay all their pre-paid customers back.  Now 24 hours later, I know I won't get my money.
    I did file a disput with Venmo, which does freeze their acct.
    I HATE myself for the deposit. I should have known.  But man they were sweet talkers

    BEWARE of these guys.   RUN away !!!!!!!!!
    Has anyone actually met them or had experiences with them? If so PM me please
