Massurefinder is a Joke

[Daniel84]

I have been advertising with them since 2012. I was paying $89 a month back then and they now bumped me to there Top Package which is $374.. Wtf..  They increased there rates twice in 6 months alone. 

 

Theres no customer service, and no way to get in touch with a life person. Clients can’t even leave reviews anymore and have tamed the site down so much it’s not even worth advertising on there. 
 

I wish another company can put them out of business and replace them with a better site.

that really sucks, sorry to hear... i agree its not a great site in terms of design and usability.

just curious, is it even worth continuing to advertise on them if there's other options - i.e. the RM sites?

I have always found the information on RentMasseur to be much more informative.

The advantages of masseurfinder from a client POV is the ability to search on a map and the phone number isn't buried so can show up in a browser search.

If it's any comfort, I so don't care about the "available now" feature or the placement of the ad on the page.  If I am looking for a masseur, I'll check all the ads in the city anyway.  The only downside of the cheapest subscription is the limited number of trips, so for masseurs who have a strong home base and don't travel much, this is totally fine.  And yeah, I prefer rentmasseur, not sure how much they charge.

The website was always a joke and I felt like I had to walk on eggshells with them.

I hardly ever get booked anymore by new clients over the weekends, and clients have told me that my profile completely disappears or that the phone number will disappear too. I thought it was a glitch, but why play with my livelihood like that?

I've always been in my own world and didnt pay attention to other masseurs, and the ones I reached out to were assholes and were using the website and industry to escort for quick cash. So I stayed quiet since there's no one else to really talk to about this industry. 

Masseurfinder kept trying to revamp itself and took down the escort and sensual categories but it made everything more confusing by putting masseurs under therapeutic and relax. Since I prefer to do a softer swedish massage, I tried advertising under relax and then all the happy ending prospective clients started to call me at 2am.

I figured that since rentboy went down that the site owner of MF just wanted to save his ass and not get arrested. So they implemented new rules and disciplined masseurs for not knowing about the new rules. Like they made us include keywords like erotic and sensual in our therapeutic ads and then scolded us after they changed the rules.

 

I had over a dozen reviews since 2013 and they were removed for no good reason.

For years clients have told me they were frustrated with trying to write a review for me, but I barely found out that since 2018, clients have to send their reviews to the masseur by text or email and we submit them. An email stating that would have been nice, back then. 

What's so frustrating for me at least is that I cannot see who my prospective clients are, at least if I can't vet them through their phone numbers and see their ages and social media. I dont want to massage certain ages and groups. In my experience of 10 years, I have bewn cheated and robbed, I have been assaulted, and I've been stalked by several men. There are some men that aggressively touch me and each time they are in a certain ethnic group that thinks I'm a whore that cant say no. I dont want to massage men over 60 because they are often also aggressive, and also super lonely and depressing and I don't care to encounter that. I hate pitying people. That's above my pay grade, I'm just a massage therapist, not a shrink and not an escort in one. 

I suspect that masseurfinder might discipline us for advertising elsewhere. They shouldn't care as long they're being paid, but if they do, the audacity won't surprise me.

Well I hope business picks up for you and you're embraced ONLY by the type of clients you desire.

Thanks. I'm fine. I have a separate income streams, and the massage industry is always slow this time of year and picks up soon. I'd rather pinch pennies than to be grossed out or have to feel sorry for people. 😂

[Guest SWFL44]

For the record... I don't believe your story for a second...

Based on its SEO, massuerfinder can charge these prices because it can. It's only other competitor is rentmen and smaller copycat websites. It looks like the more legitimate male massage site. 

I think those websites are too intimidating and the rates of the escort masseurs are too high for clients that are new and too shy. Most of my clientele are just looking for a massage and the ones that really want to be erotic are closeted and don't want to draw too much attention. I joke that some men think masseurs are budget prostitutes. They dont want to pay the escort prices and/or don't ont want to admit that they have to pay for some fun so they see a male massage therapist as a compromise.

 

All in all, masseurfinder doesn't have that much of an overhead and they are charging masseurs that much because they can, and they wont stop until masseurs leave en masse.

Haven;t read any thread here but

Why dont they allow reviews. Even if they scrutinize like RM does.

WTF masseur finder
