A4A

[BeefyDude]

I dont know about anyone else, but I don't trust the ads on this site.

 

I have tried a few and all were disasters.

 

I just can't take anyone on that site seriously.

Similar experience. Really a mixed bag. A couple have been good, but they also advertise on Rentmasseur and MF.

 

So I guess the "bottom line" is that if they only advertise on A4A, I'd avoid them.

Yes, pretty much agree, but the A4A Pro section can be useful in small markets where the are no MF ads.

I suppose... last ditch effort for me and my city. Now there are 1 or 2 that have been good. But most were NOT worth the time or money. Most were lousy at massage. Most did the 30 min back flip you over and ____ then send you home. I mean look at their ads, profiles and pics. Need I say more

If they have ads on the RentMasseur and MasseurFinder, I'd be more likely to book. There are also some who show up on RentMen but then I'm thinking they are going to be less massage and more extras which is not want I'm looking for. I think I'd actually book someone from Instragram before A4A again myself.

 

There's a few that I've noticed were on MM4M before that went tits up or will pop up on RM for a month or two then vanish, then appear again.

 

@BeefyDude I recall you're in ATL so since it was MLK weekend, there were probably a lot A4A 'pros' in town who were less about massage and more about extras. Which is fine depending on what one is looking for. Most of them come off as tops so even if I were looking for extras, as a verse guy, they really can't do anything for me but a massage and if that's not good...I don't need 'em. lol

 

I can just say that if this was a job that I was making money on, I'd go ahead and pay the fees that the more pro sites. These guys just come off as too cheap to pay for it and it's hard for me to take them seriously because I don't think they take what they do seriously. They very well could but professional appearance matters a lot. Sure, they have muscles, low body fat, and think they can ride off of that on A4A but.. I'm really less likely to book someone with 'just' an A4A ad.

 

Just call a thing a thing and get a RentMen ad if you're basically doing 10 minutes of lackluster rub and then it's bow chicka bow wow after that. At least there no ambiguity.

Have you booked someone through Instagram??

I've weirdly had pretty good luck with them in Denver. One of them ended up not being erotic at all, but it was still a great massage. The other two were both great in the conventional and erotic way. Interestingly, my mediocre massage I found on RentMasseur so who know? I think there are mediocre ones on both sites.

[PaulM]

I've had a mixed result....some were very good, some were just extras...

[Kinected]

I have not. But I have seen guys who are actually showing videos of their services in action, faces blurred and bodies covered of course.

 

I'm okay with accepting IG as a new form of communication so eventually, it'll likely be a thing.

[luvsrubs]

Ok, now I'm intrigued. How do you search for masseurs on Instagram?

[CarolinaRen]

I suppose this is germane to this conversation. I met a guy off the Growlr app yesterday. My instinct kept telling me no! but my regular guy is out of town for three months and since I was going through the town where this kid was located, I took the plunge. It was the worst massage I've ever had. However, the kid was really nice, sincere, and attractive and he charged half of the normal rate so it wasn't altogether terrible. It's the only time I've seen anybody on one of the m4m apps advertising for massage.

I have met 'Ethan' in New York and had a good experience. I have seen him repeatedly. There are real gems out there. Keep in mind that all PROs on a4a are 'masseurs', even when they are not. The word 'escort' is verboten on a4a.

[BeefyDude]

I get hit up on Grinder ALL the time. I dismiss them instantly

 

@ Kinected, I agree. Been ages since ive booked off A4A. Seems one particular apt complex in bhead that I got burnt the most

 

I like someone with an ad that I can review. It tells me they took the time and cash to make it at least somewhat legit.

 

The masseur finder site has gone SO down hill which is why they are all jumping over to rent masseur.

[Kinected]

Via hastags. But AFAIK figuring out if they are local to you is the hard part.

 

For example this guy

 

[MEDIA=instagram]BrPT87wAax4[/MEDIA]

 

I had already seen his profile here before

 

https://rentmasseur.com/thejohnsmithy

 

And that's just from the #massagetherapist hash tag. He used a lot of tags so you can see what he used and browse through the tags. But you can probably put LA or NYC in front of massage or massage therapist and widdle it down.

He is based out of Naples, Florida. Has ads on Rentmasseur and MF. He has been reviewed on this site.

Similarly to massage sites, I've had mixed results on A4A. As mentioned earlier, some guys advertise on A4A and other sites. I have had a few positive experiences, however, with guys who advertised only on A4A. I think, depending on your location, A4A can be a great resource.

[BabyBoomer]

He also has an ad on RM.

Agree on cross-checking with rentmasseur, rentmen, and masseurfinder, but have actually found a few very good ones on a4a over the years. I have also booked someone via instagram, although we DM'd and then texted to confirm.

Yeah. I'm just using him as an example.

[soberguy]

I agree with several comments above; if they advertise on masseurfinder or rentmassuer as well as A4A I feel pretty confident about approaching them. The upside to A4A is you can 'chat' with them in real time. That can be helpful when looking for a massage right away, which is often what I'm doing.
