Where have all the good masseurs gone?

[njny7621]

Anyone else feeling a shortage of the old guard, good reliable masseurs? I feel like now there is a sea of headless profiles on RM. A majority now are flaky and do not reply to valid inquiries and if they do reply there’s major attitude. I’m also finding that if someone does have a face pic and I click into the ad I’m instantly turned off by the bizarre international male photo shoots they chose. There’s anything from varying hairstyles, to wearing a suit aimlessly staring out of a window in one image to wearing bagging jeans and a tank top sitting on the hood of a car…who am I getting on the day of a massage…what is your brand?? Then there’s the price. Lots of ads now with a starting price of $300 for an hour, meanwhile it says the person has only been active on the site for a few months and has none to less than a handful of valid reviews. Or the opposite where the masseur claims to have seven years experience but list their age at 23? And if you’re able to navigate through all of the above mentioned then I’ve been finding that they have hang ups about being nude or any type of ending. 
 

Anyone have a list of tried and true masseurs? In Manhattan, can host, aren’t a fortune, nice, reliable, not uptight, not weird or flaky, decently good looking/in-shape…asking for the impossible?

LOL. The really good masseurs are totally booked, and not looking for clients who tend to complain a lot, or split hairs over the most inconsequential details.

I think there are a number of guys that align with your requirements; three that I have seen are Strongstrokes, Jose_OK and Jorge_M. All are below 300 for a massage and have genuine pics that match their looks (except for Strongstrokes, who does not have a face pic but has about 80 reviews and lots of discussion here about how he looks).

Many of the ones I started seeing in the late 1990s went on to something that provides a steady paycheck or retired for one reason or another -- age, health, etc. I prefer an older, mature masseur, and they're a challenge to find in Dallas.

Jorge_M is my regular and I will attest he is fantastic,  generous and sweet as can be.  Did I mention he's also really 🔥!

One really needs to knead out the "masseurs" on RM. So many are there for the $$$ and not trained on massage. Sometimes I want to try them based no their looks. If you're really looking for a massage think with your head and not your dick.

Truth be told, there are a lot of guys simply looking for some intimate touch. Personally, I can't fault them for that, and I'm glad there's a market for non-professionals seeking to please. A lot of us can't compete on Grindr (or even access the app), and we can't afford high-priced escorts. No one should have to go through life empty of intimate touch, especially gay men. Finding a professional masseur with talent, who happens to love nudity and playing in the sensual realm is a lot more challenging. Those guys are out there, but the favorites are very busy, serving loyal customers and living life. Every once in awhile a new guy slips in. Thank goodness for a forum like this one to spread the word.
