There’s puffery…and then is gross exaggeration…it’s a matter of magnitude.

To @Muscleking. No experience with the provider, who describes himself as “The Real Massage God”.

damn…over-confident, egomaniac is more likely!

Seriously...RMass Markinman/MassFinder 17945 recently delivered an amazingly energizing 60min+plus massage using a combination of trigger-point and deep-tissue technique at $200; well worth the money. Scheduling was easy and he arrived as promised. He knows his muscle groups, and was able access my sore spots using more than one approach. I might even say the service was an excellent value considering his handsomeness and rockin' body, despite no extras of any sort. Yes, his pictures are completely accurate, somehow managing to capture some of his pleasant disposition. I've read much of the prior (and inconsistent) commentary about provider in his several incarnations. Nonetheless, if you want a therapeutic massage from a soft-spoken and talented hunk, I fully endorse Mark at this moment in time. [end]

Recently received a 60 minute massage, out-call to me, from provider Faraon at $230. Scheduling the session was easy and provider arrived on time. Massage itself was a solid B. In my opinion, provider's lack of rhythm in his strokes suggests a lack of official training. Despite that assertion, provider's technique shows enough practical experience to meet expectations of most clients hiring through the site. Here's the rub though--most of his RMass pics (examples attached) are misleading in that he's not nearly as muscular as shown in his pics. In fact, the rounded belly and overall lack of muscle-tone was unappealing. Faraon DOES have youth on his side--a youth that ignores the mirror's message. [end]

Gotta say fellas, the above commentary is utterly uninformative. Remember what mother said…if you don’t have anything nice [informative] to say…silence is the better option. Sigh 😔

To @musclestuduws; not to be too snarky…the carefree lifestyle is known as YOUTH. Time, gravity, and the high cost of healthcare for US citizenry…combine to reverse that “alchemy” in fairly short order

To @lanyc. My view is that MT and HE is built into the service at a certain RMass price point. Going beyond that, say, for example, nuru-type techniques, various kinds of stimulation around the legs and hips, and exuding an arousing energy, is what I think of as truly sensual elements.

Pleased to report that I’ve taken (another) one for the team. Hired RMass Irongrip a few weeks ago for a 60 min massage at $250. Profile pics accurately matched the person that appeared at the door, all lean, muscled, smooth, and cut. His handsome face is perforated by unexpectedly kind eyes. Apparently he’s an Irish-Italian mix, which explains the fair skin and the dark hair. Solid B-grade massage -- with MT and with HE but lacking sensual elements -- despite no official massage training. Provider identifies as heterosexual, expressing no noticeable dissonance between that identity and the RMass presence on the premise that the services offered are merely a method of making great money with less effort than required by his construction day-job. If you gravitate towards red-neck looks, and/or to fellows recovering from residency on the wrong side of the tracks, Irongrip/Connor nicely fits the bill, outer-borough accent included. I can’t say with certainty if I would hire Irongrip again. I will say that Connor is one mouthwateringly HOT dude. And I might just relent. [end]

Fellas, “fantastic” and “fabulous” are emotive words…yet provide no meaningful details. Please consider adding details…which is the bread-and-butter (and salt + sugar) of CoM. 🙏

Definitely NOT new. Profile is a name change…something sounding similar to Brahav. He also had/has a RMen profile…and of course, a OF page. Unfortunately, I don’t recall the complete profile names.

To @Jim_n_NYC Sigh! And mostly agree. Dont’t think CoM alone is enough of a deterrent to bad actors, particularly because the name-change technique. Wonder if it’s worthwhile to make CoM more search engine friendly. Any thoughts from the Spa/Massage Forum community?

Is it inhumane to say that provider is such a bad actor…that the relevant RE mgmt company be altered provider is running a business (a ripoff one at that) from the provider’s apartment?

To @Dr.KNYC. Could you share details about the quality of the massage? Good-looking dude? Rates? 🙏

To @papichampu, care to share any details about the massage itself! You know how much WE all seek that elusive combo of satisfactory massage plus fun

Disagree with the warning. I had one civil, out-call, 60min session with him, and it was one of the better massages I’ve had from RMass providers. He’s been unresponsive thereafter.

To @J-Mo. Could you share some detail please? That is, after all, the benefit of CoM. 🙏

Bump! Anyone with recent experience?

Fellas, if you’re looking for a FEATHERLIGHT, UNINSPIRED MASSAGE from a muscled, calm, baby-faced, 6-foot-2 Russian dude, RMass AlexxNY is the man for you! UNFORTUNATELY for me, I was not looking for that experience at $160 for 60 minutes. Perhaps I misinterpreted papichampu’s comments. Days later, I’m still befuddled by the sheer feebleness of the pressure provider exerted, even after several suggestions by to me for greater firmness. His strokes were disjointed and lacked confidence, a telltale sign that AlexxNY has ZERO official massage training. In fact, he mentioned that he was new to the massage industry. Twenty or so minutes into the namby-pamby massage I asked myself if I should just get up and leave, ultimately choosing to not do so considering the physical vulnerability of nakedness and face-down positioning on a massage table in a stranger’s apartment. How is it that AlexxNY slipped through this site’s screen that would have normally tagged him as a member of the Murray Hill Massage Mafia? I suggest that it behooves us all to be more vigilant.

The apparent movement to $250 for 60min for new and/or sparsely reviewed NYC providers is disturbing. How might WE discourage that movement, other than the conspicuous non-engagement of new and/or sparsely reviewed providers charging that rate?

I received a 60min from him ages ago, 2019. At the time he was working out of a rented space at 274 Madison. Handsome dude. Strictly therapeutic. He in shorts and tank top I recall; me draped; not a hint of sensuality. Okay massage at $160. Overall unmemorable. I did not repeat.

To @Topform. Could you describe what specific massage techniques the provider performed on you? Thanks. 🙏

Had a 60minute, in-call massage from Gio earlier in May 2024. Overall mediocre at the $180 price point. I will not repeat. C GRADE TECHNIQUE, because he kept on performing the same long strokes over and over despite my suggesting more variation in those strokes and without rhythm. Provider's poor English skills (my Spanish skills are non-existent) did not ameliorate the monotony. B+ GRADE EFFORT, because he asked several times if I was comfortable, presented a pleasant demeanor, made scheduling easy, offered bottled water, was nude, generous with the MT (including Nuru elements), and largely matched his body pics in so far that the physique is buff but certainly not "insane" as others have commented. D GRADE AMBIENCE, because no ambience was created. Provider's table, while comfortable, is placed in a corner of small bedroom where provider has little room to maneuver, further compromised by an ersatz fragrance mist that permeated the air. In short, my experience is at odds with those of @Harryinny (2022), @Hot4latin, @UpAndDown333, and @dutchal.

I've scanned the above comments. My observations here are intended to update the commentary on Hisham to 2024. I hired him for a 60 minute therapeutic massage ($200) when he was visiting NYC March 2024. Massage technique A-minus as he used a combination of strokes that worked well for me and which indicated a significant amount for official training. In several ways better than even RMass Caleb_massage. Hisham flashes a charming smile, while exuding a kind of masculinity I associate with Israeli guys...just bordering on self-assured arrogance. And then the body—compact; muscled; smooth-skinned; with legs that reminded me of male statuary displayed at the Archaelogical Museum of Naples. I might even say it was one of the best 60-min massages I've received in years by a masseur clad in white briefs. Given the opportunity to repeat, I probably would, knowing fully well that Deli is not on the menu for this customer. Darn it! [end]

Re @MakeMeCowboy’s comment, it can be said that providers have a shelf life—either their respective physical appeal fades, or the physical efforts burn them out, etc. Perhaps provuder will conclude that adjusting his rate is economically rational
