RentMasseur vs MasseurFinder

[MassageLoverSD]

I'm very curious to know if any of you have insight into the big difference between masseurs who advertise on RM vs MF. Obviously MF has stricter rules about pics and language, but are the guys there any less likely to do HE and MT than the guys on RM?

[dutchal]

My impression is:

1. A minority of MF advertisers are therapeutic only.

2. A majority of MF advertisers are OK with MT and provide HE, occasionally more, possibly depending on attraction or on how many sessions you've had together.

3. A minority of MF advertisers, usually indicated by a higher price, are more of an escort than a masseur.

4. Some of #2 and most of #3 are on RM as well as MF.

5. Almost all RM advertisers go beyond therapeutic.

6. Many RM advertisers are more an escort than a masseur.

You have a in-depth knowledge about these guys and I agree you are 100% correct

Exactly what @dutchal said!

Really appreciate this response, @dutchal! Admittedly, I've kinda stayed clear of MF because it's just so unclear what might or might not happen in a session. As you point out in #3, price is the only info to go on there.

 

My challenge with RM is that I'm definitely looking for a legit massage in addition to the erotic stuff. I like that guys can be more clear in their profiles on RM, but I also wonder who among them are actually really skilled masseurs. Reviews definitely help, and as someone in another thread pointed out, the guys with a hundred model-esque photos seem dubious to me. Recently I've started checking to see if a guy on RentMasseur also advertises on RentMen. If he does, I assume he's just on RentMasseur to drum up more escorting business and probably can't give a real massage. No thanks!

I wouldn’t assume that. Some of those guys do give great massages. But, if the client wants to go there, they want To get paid for giving it up. There are people on masseurfinder who give a terrible massage, overcharge, and don’t give it up. You have look at the individual and not necessarily read too much into which site they advertise on. It’s only one small data point.

Having felt ripped off in the past because of the same assumption you are making, let me state clearly: Price is no indication of what kind of service you are likely to receive. It may be indicative of an image the advertiser wants the create, but it doesn't necessarily equate with either better therapeutic skills or a greater degree of eroticism.

I think the challenge, as you stated, is finding out if anyone gives a really good massage PLUS more that MT. With MF, I ask directly about HE but I never assume that the guy will go further than that. With RM I assume the opposite but I also ask up front. The problem is, if you're too explicit with your questions, they can't be answered by text or email. It's better to pick up the phone and speak directly to the guy.

 

I always find a way to ask. I've had good luck that way. And I don't expect more than MT or HE on the first session with a guy from MF.

RentMasseur does indicate when a guy is certified. While it's no guarantee, maybe that's what you should look for.

Almost two years later, I'd amend my previous post to read as follows (prices are for NYC and might be lower in some metro areas):

My impression is:

1. A minority of MF advertisers are therapeutic only.  Most of these are priced in the $140-160 range and many perhaps even most are certified/licensed.

2. A majority of MF advertisers are OK with MT and provide HE, occasionally more, possibly depending on attraction or on how many sessions you've had together.   Some of these require an upsell for some or all services beyond therapeutic with pants on.  At most, probably less than, half of these are certified.  Some of the uncertified are nonetheless pretty decent masseurs; some are not.

3. A minority of MF advertisers, usually indicated by a higher price, are more of an escort than a masseur.  I'd be surprised if any of these are certified; many are completely untrained and basically stroke or lightly knead your back and butt for a few minutes before getting down to other business.  The best of them as masseurs are self-taught to, at best, an amateurish level.  Some of the higher priced masseurs, however, do not offer full service but can charge what they do simply because they're hot and, with upsells, you'll end up paying escort prices for a good massage but less than full service or, if you don't pay the upsells, you'll end up paying $200 or more for a mediocre massage and frustration or, at best, a DIY HE.  Some lay out the upsells ahead of time; many do not but wait until you're on the table/bed.

4. Some of #2 and most of #3 are on RM as well as MF.  Almost nobody from #1 is on RM.

5. Almost all RM advertisers go beyond therapeutic.  As with those on MF, for at least some an upsell is involved, especially if the base price is in the $150-180 range.

6. Many RM advertisers are more of an escort than a masseur, as described in #3, especially if the price is $200 or more.

7.  Some, maybe half or more, of #3/#6 are on Rentmen as well as RM.

8.  There are advertisers on Rentmen that appear to be offering only massage.  They are mostly #3/#6 but some might fit better into #2/#5.

Clients...Do you hire more from Rentmasseur or Masseurfinder?

or

Masseurs that advertise on both... Where do you get more business MF or Rentmasseur?

 

When I started hiring masseurs, I would go to Masseurfinder, but lately the number of guys on MF has decreased. Maybe because it is more expensive and has a lot of restrictions.  Now I find myself going more and more to Rentmasseur.

I prefer Rentmasseur because I get a much better sense of what the provider is offering i.e. therapeutic vs. erotic.    Seems to save time on the initial contact.

Plus i'd add RM profiles provide other stated physical characteristics like height, weight etc... that could be important to some clients creating more efficiency and effectiveness for both the client and masseur's time.

It also pays to inquire if the masseur actually has a table. Traveling guys usually use the bed which is an indication that your massage will probably be less therapeutic and more erotic

[Vulgarii]

I'm not a HE masseur and I'm considering also advertising on RM but am worried I'll get a wave of new clients that'll assume I'll be nude and do extra things. I suppose I'll just ask where they saw my ad.

You should also gray out erotic and sensual and state in your ad text that the massage is purely therapeutic and that you'll be clothed.  And make sure your pics are consistent with your offering.  That should make it clear.

[Kody S]

I agree with @dutchal.  There are times when all I want is a good therapeutic massage and nothing more.  It helps to know from the provider that it will only be therapeutic. 

[Guest]

I started using MF and then subscribed to RM.  Usually when I choose someone from MF, I don't have any expectations that HE or MT will happen.  Often it has not been discussed in any  text communications, but may be upon arrival. Typically I find out when I take my close off and lay on the table.  The masseur has watched to see how much I disrobe or if i need a drape.  If I don't, then they have either dropped their clothes on the floor, or asked my preference for them to wear clothes. Of course I reply that I am comfortable if they are nude as well.  Honestly, it sort of adds to the excitement.  Either way, I get a good massage.

With RM, it's kind of advertised up front.

 Yes.  It's really odd to see people claiming to only offer therapeutic, but then be nearly nude in their public pics, and have full erect nudes in the private.  It happens though.
