I totally understand them.
It seems like you want there to be head shots in the gallery. I wish more of the newer guys could at least have torso and full body shots with blurred or cut faces. The current set of guys in the gallery doesn’t excite me (most are veterans) and I would definitely try one of the newer guys if I could see something. I would do a walk in blind, but it is an expensive mistake to make if you end up with someone who’s not a match. 

I feel like the spas in NY are missing key diversity with black masseurs. I remember having Tim and Ragin ages ago,  but now there aren’t many.
anyone know any spa or private black masseurs that are amazing and worth booking?

BullLatin provides a Good Massage.   He's worth a visit. 
I had a fantastic experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely comfortable. The environment is clean, soothing, and set up with a high-quality professional table. He truly has an intuitive touch; his strong hands worked wonders on my tight muscles and melted my cares away. The hot towels were a perfect finishing touch. I walked out feeling refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated. 
I highly recommend him 

If you are into the spa experience, Andy at WMen and Alvin at Energy seem open to all kinds of bodywork. YMMV, but they are both excellent masseurs who can be very receptive. 

If this is the same Cam as before, I suggest you do a thorough search for all the comments on him. I think his ad said, "Cam can," or something like that. One post said that ought to be changed to "cannot." Might be a different guy,
but let the buyer beware.

I pretty much only go for people who are at least on masseurfinder. A lot of guys on RM give the vibe that you should be paying just by virtue of being touched by a sexy man, and a lot of their reviews here seem to paint the same picture. I almost always would prefer a session from someone who is licensed/trained. I want a quality massage and anything beyond that is welcomed but not expected

I set aside $20-50 per week in cash into a “play money” folder.  This is genuinely disposable income. I only “window shop” ads if I don’t have enough to hire.  
I see price structures generally match regional costs of living.  Here in Texas, provider rates are generally lower than in the rocky mountains or on either coast.  So, normal sessions here often run in the $300-400 range.  If I haven’t set aside that much at any given. moment, I delay hiring.  If I really want to get off, but don’t have the cash available to hire someone that I’d really want or can’t find one that I’d be willing to spend that much on, I can usually find a masseur in Texas in the $150-250 range.
I definitely would never borrow money to hire or choose to spend money to hire that I’d need for some other expense.

Can someone recommend masseur in Manhattan or NJ  with real massage skills who might bottom?  I'm traveling from NJ.  Thanks

I cant please everyone.  I was counting money and dealing with  closing issues with the bar. We try and do a good job putting this together.  Adonis is collapsing.  And dancers need to work somewhere. I been trying to weed out the trouble makers. Our drink prices are no different than most of the Gay Bars. No matter what I do or what we do at red eye it's not going to be enough for some of you guys on here that's obvious. So I'm not going to be talking about this anymore. We try very very hard putting this together and it ain't easy. Daniel who owns Red Eye and myself a part of the gay community here in New York City not some straight guy looking to take advantage of you guys. I don't take advantage of anybody. So maybe you'll come and visit us again. And I'll tell you what you see me at the door and I'll let you in for nothing.

Even if someone were to compile a list of the best masseurs in the best spas, it would be obsolete within 2 months. New guys join all the time, older guys leave, many guys move to a different spa if they think they can get a better deal, some setup shop independently in their own apartment, etc...

You're definitely not alone. So many of the these HE guys are "mileage may vary" types, you just never know what can happen if the masseur decides he likes what is lying on his table. Back when sex was important to me, I always went to a massage appointment ready for anything. More often than not, I received a surprise. Many of these guys are great at teasing, so if they're willing to go there, even for extra money, I'm happy to be prepared. The preparation almost always worked out in my favor. I once had a straight masseur who saw I was fully erect, and that damn thing was going nowhere, clearly getting in the way. Without touching my cock, he decided to work his finger-pressure technique around my groin area, and he made me orgasm. He cleaned me up, and went on with the massage. Not a word spoken. Needless to say, I tipped him well. He moved out of NYC, otherwise I'd still be seeing him.

It took a little while to organize but suddenly everything clicked - I experienced a combo massage with MindfulMasseur and his partner RomeoAntonio today!
I had hired MM for more than 20 times prior.  RA was a first time encounter, but I have been admiring his work on OnlyFans.  In other words, his anatomy was not a total surprise.
The venue was at the couple's comfortable apartment on the UWS.  After a brief chat, I was naked on their heated massage table while the guys stripped down to skimpy underwear that left nothing to the imagination.  I was familiar with MM's body, front and back.  I did marvel at the physique and the personal charisma of RA - the curled black hair, the smile, the perfect chest, the muscular legs.  Starting out as a solid therapeutic experience, RA took off his briefs and made sure I knew it.  He has extremely strong hands that went deep into my glutes as the massage evolved into a fully erotic experience.  While the details need not be disclosed on a public forum, let me say that I felt surrounded by masculine beauty and skill.  The couple, at some point, became very interactive between the two of them which was a sight that will be hard to forget.
I have no hesitation to recommend MindfulMasseur and RomeoAntonio separately but if you are so inclined, the duo combo will blow you away. 
 

No problem.  I was known as a client to MM who said 'I am a fun client to work with'.  Which is why the guys gave me a good rate, which basically was MM and RA's individual one-hour incall rate combined.  No premium pricing for the combo session.  Keep in mind that RA and MM are partners.  There is no awkwardness between them about being naked and about engaging in play together and with a client.
I did, happily, tip well for an amazing experience.

I had my first session with Amaziah and posted this review in RM:  The session with Amaziah was an amazing continuum of therapeutic and sensual, body to body massage, intimate connection, the kind of experience that must be lived to appreciate it. Besides, he is a delightful man, kind, personable and attentive.

Any recent feedback?

Love Alexi!  I've become a regular with him.  Great conversation, great body, good massage... very detailed to the whole body... more of a light massage.  The extras are extra nice.  Always offers a glass of wine to relax.  Place is clean too

I went to Epic men spa on 63rd and Lexington, for a Brazilian. 
 
As Jeremy was shaving my balls, I had a big hard on (it would be hard not to, when a man is holding your cock in his hand) Unfortunately he didn’t offer to help with that. I didn’t want to leave with blue balls, so I asked if I could get a massage with one of his guys (hoping they would be more helpful).
I had Pete who gave me a thorough Thai massage but he kept my private parts under a towel at all time, clear sign that he doesn’t want to do anything else. 
So I left with clean shaven - but still very blue - balls and quite disappointed. 

I am writing off epic men spa as a purely therapeutic place and won’t try again. 

Super nice guy, handsome AF, gives a great massage. Studio is really nice and makes you feel really comfortable. Check him out!

Agreed.
Even IF there wasn't a legal matter involved...I personally PREFER to meet people for a massage first.
I have never been a fan of fucking somebody based on a few photos and never having met in person. I also like a bit of foreplay, unlike so many gay men who go from Zero-to-Sixty in under two minutes. A relaxing massage gives me time to feel the moment as well as giving my companion a chance to get comfortable instead of needing to provide sex-on-demand.

I hope you know that PrEP is for tops too. Everyone should be on it. Doxy PEP as well.
In 2025, this is just responsible healthcare for sexually active gay men, regardless of position.

I’ve seen Tim in his nice Jersey City apartment

I’ve gone back twice. No cuddles but certainly sensual. Always left happy. PM for details.

Any extras with Yobany?
 

Received an out-call massage from DiamondTyger a few days ago...after one or two failed attempts at connecting. Worth every penny of $250 for 60min. Was even better than the first massage I had from him years ago. As of this comment, ALL  of the pics are accurate and are of him; i.e., not borrowed from elsewhere on the web. 
Massage A- technique, with a variety of strokes, including a bit of stretching toward the end, and satisfying sensual elements. Massage is not DiamondTyger's main livelihood, so pinning down a day and time might, might, be a challenge.
To summarize, the profile, pics, and massage service are all legitimate and meet the advertising promises.
Note: $250 for 60min is pain point for me...but this time the service was worth the money. Yes, I would repeat, funds permitting.
