calijames reacted to Dr.Daddy in Two Athletic Bros in DC
I knew a masseur who would choose whether to keep the appointment based on seeing the client walk up through his peephole. He told me about this practice to make me feel like I was ‘chosen’ or met some unknown criteria. I think he expected me to be grateful. Instead, I was so offended that I never saw him again on principle. This type of behavior is rude and unprofessional, I hope others don’t support these providers. And, I’m sorry you got ghosted after making it to the appointment

7829V is shrewd for doing this. Ads change, pictures rotate, etc. This gives us a chance to detect possible deception and also reminds us of past profiles we can't quite remember when a new one from the same provider appears.

After working 27 years in thr Massage and Bodywork industry, I keep my rates low, you shouldn't have to chose between groceries and a massage. I make enough to pay bills and vacation.

calijames reacted to UncutDad in Anyone noticing a drop in massage rates?
I recently got a massage from one of my favorite traveling massage therapists. He charges $140 for the hour and I told him that he should be charging more for his massage. I mean, the guy has to pay for a hotel, gas and vehicle maintenance. He literally travels from coast to coast.
He is an older guy that still looks good and his massage is really far above average. But he countered my suggestion, explaining to me that although he's struggling to keep his rates low, he leaves it to the client's experience if they want to tip him. If you didn't tip this guy for the massage he gave, you'd really be clueless of what he does for your body.
From my experience, 95% of the guys on these sites may be hot, but they are NOT good and they try to charge more and give less. So, if you get a good massage, at a reasonable price, tip the guys that strive keep thier pricing rooted in reality. When your body is tense and you're needing true bodywork, they are the one's you'll be looking to - Not the pretty boy rub, tug and go guys.

What's the point of you commenting here? People have preferences and we're all here for advice for escorts. You contribute nothing to this post and just came to judge and your original comment doesn't make sense. I'm not going to go back and forth with you it's pointless. Have a good one.

Date men, not boys. Leave the kids alone. Find beauty in your own age group.

calijames reacted to Occasional in Masseur freakout
This might be an example of cognitive dissonance in the provider.
I've met a few full-service providers over the years who like to feel that they are 'different' from the 'usual' 'hookers/ sluts/ [insert choice of contemptuous epithet]'. Sometimes this is based on them supposedly having a 'different attitude', sometimes on them being 'selective' who they see, sometimes on premium pricing. And sometimes for no reason at all that I could discern!
Presenting oneself as a masseur, rather than a full-service provider, bolsters the 'not a hooker' mindframe, even if the advert talks about erotic massage. After all, what does that mean, exactly? The provider can tell himself that he's different, selective, yadda yadda, and that the client is booking - massage! If more happens, the provider tells himself that it was because he chose to allow it to happen (which may not be so far from the reality, actually).
An enquirer explicitly seeking 'more' - so that 'more' is baked in before the client and provider even meet - is then like lobbing a grenade into the carefully cultivated, carefully defended, "I'm different" mindset.

If they list erotic massage on their profile it's:
"Hi, I would like to book an hour session of erotic massage. How much is your rate for that? Thanks ".

Ok guys, here’s the lowdown on my session with Hunter the other night. I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say on here, so if you want additional details feel free to DM me.
He looks like his pics, brought his table and things started out very therapeutic with Hunter asking about problem areas and doing some breathing and stretches. He started with his shorts on but within 10 minutes he ditched them and positioned himself at the head of the table where I soon found my mouth getting a workout. While I was enjoying myself, I was a little disappointed to get to the fun part so quickly as it was quite apparent that he does have great technical skill. I serviced him for a while and then sort of put my head back in the cradle signaling I would like the masage to continue, he picked up on this and resumed the massage. He did an excellent job, it’s clear he’s had training and knows what he’s doing. He makes sure to check in regarding pressure and even gave special attention to my feet. Throughout he interspersed sensual touching which felt amazing. There was no “turn over” moment, but still a HE. It was a good experience and I paid $150 for an outcall at my place. He is well endowed and open to MT, I’ll probably book him again.

calijames got a reaction from Exploritor in TylerSocal in LA?
I saw him about 6 months ago, looks like he has jacked up his rates since my visit (I think I paid like $130). The massage was excellent, he had a variety of lotions/oils for massaging different areas, he was very thorough, and not a clock watcher. The HE was decent, his pics are accurate and he's very blessed. No deli vibes with me, but we established pretty early on that we were both tops, so I wasn't expecting much, especially at that rate.

calijames reacted to + JamesB in A naive question about up-sells
It’s up to the provider when the upsell happens, if it happens at all. Some do it before the session starts, but most will bring it up in the middle of the session, which I really dislike because, in my opinion, it kills the mood.

Im sure he’ll rush to provide you with more info after that boorish response. You contribute nothing to this board by being so combative. Your other posts harbor this same tone as well. Not a good look.
And no, I won’t just scroll past or mute you. It’s your job to be a better person, not mine to overlook your general rudeness. Have a nice day.

calijames reacted to jmichaeliii in The Commonplace Expectation of $100 Massage/$200 Escort?
I had a situation a couple weeks ago where the provider tried to negotiate his rate lower to get me to agree to a session. His rate was nearly double the average of the guys I see and just politely said that I appreciated his time but this is outside my budget. He then cut $100/hr off his rate to sweeten the pot, but I politely declined. I simply said I don't ask providers to negotiate their rate because if you are charging that, you obviously can get it. I finished it by saying I think it wrecks the vibe of the whole experience if you are unhappy giving up your fee. Again I thanked him but I don't think he was happy with me.

calijames reacted to Danny-Darko in Upset by Upcharges?
I always make as clear as possible what I'm looking for and if they can accommodate for the agreed price. If I get up-charged, I don't see them again, no matter how much I liked them. I don't appreciate getting swindled and when they lose clients, they'll hopefully learn a valuable lesson in business ethics. I've had several come to me for repeated sessions and I clearly state why I'm not interested based on the previous experience. No whining, promises, or begging will get me to try again with the same person. When getting burned, we should learn our lesson the first time! There are plenty of nice men out there who provide what we are looking for and I'm not despearte either. Many of these younger less worldly "escorts" need to realize that just because we may be older and hire, doesn't mean we are pathetic or desperate. They need our money far more that we need their services!

calijames reacted to Simon Suraci in $400 is TOO MUCH
Stop complaining. Hire the lower cost providers according to your budget, or suck it up and hire the higher cost providers (if you really want them), or don’t hire at all. It’s that simple.
It’s not the providers’ problem if you can’t pay or don’t want to pay what the markets support.
Save more, make more, or hire less often. Simple as that.
We could boycott gas because we think it’s too expensive. That won’t make the cost go down because global demand remains stable. We all have direct and indirect transportation needs which contribute to that stable demand. Same with hiring!

The most surprising thing that could happen during a massage is actually getting a great massage 😂

calijames reacted to BuzzLiteQueer in 411 on HotDan in Long Beach
Is it really worth all the energy to contact a guy who is so prickly? What's the point of spending time to get past his palace guard?
Since he seems to block anyone who views his ad, reaches out to him or meets with him, I would conclude he's not really interested in conducting a successful massage business.
Just my take on it.
Hard pass as far as I'm concerned.

calijames got a reaction from domonkasshu160 in Leo in LA
I took the plunge and tried Leo the other day, save your money! He is cute AF and looks like his pics, but that’s really all there is. The “massage” part was mainly rubbing of the back and shoulders and he draped my ass with a towel! When the massage finally moved south and the towel was removed, I was rewarded with NOTHING! He legit completely ignored my butt/glutes and upper/inner thighs. There really was nothing sensual and very little interaction until the mechanical HE. Total disappointment and waste of $200.
