For any Black American masseurs or providers reading this, take it from me: do not charge less than white providers are charging. If you are in a territory where most of the hiring demographics are racists, (which if they would try to pay you less because you are melanated, then they very much are) you aren’t going to book much in that location to make it worthwhile anyway no matter how much you lower your rates, so it’s a bad business decision to lower your rates. You are better off moving to a territory where men hire hot men regardless of race. ALSO, there is an abundance of men who will pay you top dollar BECAUSE you are hot AND Black! Those are the clients you want! Work smarter not harder! I have never accepted less than I deserved, and neither should you. Do not sell yourself short (pun intended) This is my last contribution to this forum but I wanted to leave this behind.

Same!!!!

I am Black/mixed. Im only speaking for myself, but I have never charged below market rates, and I have not, nor would I negotiate my rates. My philosophy is always if someone want to pay a lower rate, they should go for the guy with the lower rate. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I don’t tour at all anymore, but if I did, I would avoid a city with a big sports event. I can’t imagine that it’d be worthwhile.

I have no age limits. When I decline to take a client, it’s never due to age.

I have not hired any, but there are a couple of providers who have hired me, so it definitely happens

I do not date clients.

This!

This!

Im flying from Los Angeles to see a client in Ohio soon for a weekend. The last time I traveled by plane a few months ago, all of the flights were delayed by several hours on every airline to the point that I almost got stuck in Chicago on my way back to LA. If you have traveled by plane recently, are there still extreme delays?

For me, the most challenging part was filtering through the time wasters and flakes. Some cities have a higher concentration of that than other cities. I don’t have an active advertisement up anymore specifically because I did not want to deal with that part of the business anymore. When you don’t advertise and only see regulars, you know the regulars are reliable and you know they aren’t interested in wasting your time.

No.

It is not rude at all. Go for it!
