Ok so I took the plunge.... I even gave him a review on rent masseur, which should be up in the next few days. So to answer the inevitable questions without making this a "review" on this site...
1. Yes, I would see him again.
2. Yes, the photos on rentmasseur are of him. (And therefore some of the pics in the links above on other sites are also him, but not all). He has a tattoo on his left forearm that makes it easy to identify which ones are and aren't of him (at least, when it's visible).
3. Yes, he charges a high rate. In SF it was $300 for an hour for entry level and went up from there. If you message him, he'll detail his massage offerings.
4. Yes, I was wrong, based on the links shared earlier in this post, he's a member of the syndicate. I would hazard a guess that he's either left them recently or is only "loosely coupled" with their business.
5. He's a sweet and polite guy, so if you do choose him as your masseur, be good to him.
Happy Hunting!
