Positive long lasting impression...

[+ 7829V]

What was the gesture, or comment or thing a masseur did that made you have a positive long lasting impression... ?

 

For me, it would the following...

 

1. Giving me mints or a little candy after the session

2. Giving me a little bottle of water after the session

3. Having a heated massage table

4. Texting after session thanking for the tip

5. Remembering personal details (things I like, where I am originally from, etc.) after a year of not hiring him

6. A really clean spotless bathroom

7. Ending the session with a shower/massage

 

I remember, in a positive way, the masseurs that have done all the things above.

This is actually very sweet and stops me from making the joke, “8. When he shoved his tongue...”. 1-7 are great, I agree. One for me is when he gently blew air at particular times.

Yeah, some others that I remember well are when they do a facial massage, head, face, etc.

You know that those are well trained masseurs, or if not trained that they have a good idea of how to give a good massage.

Wish my massage guys would do 7. That sounds awesome.

It has happened to me twice. Without me requesting it. Where we shower together after the table massage and they massage my back and legs under the shower.

 

Other times I’ve requested a shower but is just that. A shower together....

7. Ending the session with a shower/massage

8. Started the session with a bubble bath soak and sensual massage

 

And that was just the start. Summer 2003, masseur in Murray Hill (NYC) on Craigslist. Saw him once and he disappeared. Truly memorable.

Completely agree about the head and/or face massage. Such a nice way to end a session, and very sensual in its own way.

Handing out plastic bottles of water is a sure way to make me never, ever return. It displays a cluelessness that is in this day and age breathtaking.

 

A nice glass of cold, filtered tap water is the way to go.

 

The world cannot absorb this toxic (it is highly toxic), plastic trash anymore.

Are you aware that you are using a very toxic to the environment machine to participe in the forum? Why don’t you use sign language to communicate with us?

[+ ButchAtl]

Yes, and when its served its time, It will be recycled also.

1. Shower together before or after.

2. After HE not getting rushed out the door - face/neck massage, wipe down with warm towel etc

 

One or both of those two add ons are a guaranteed tip/repeat/recommend.

Yes, only 9% of all plastic is recycled. Still, you gotta appreciate the kind gesture.

I would thank the masseur and then tell him that I appreciate more a fruit or just tap water.

Yeah. I remember now...

warm towels... that goes in my list as well !

Yes, the computer likely will be recycled and/or properly disposed. But, for the record, the plastic bottle will almost certainly not. Unlike aluminum or glass or cardboard, there is close to zero demand for such low grade post consumer plastic waste. It costs far more to transform it than to just buy it new so the recycling just doesn't happen on a broad scale. The recycling con is a marketing strategy by the bottled water companies to make their product more accepted and to undermine needed regulation. But, like most marketing, it's absolutely false.

 

At best the bottle going into a landfill for 400 years. At worst it's going into the sea to create huge ecological problems. And that's after you have willingly consumed petroleum byproducts through micro plastics in your plastic bottle! (100% of water tested from plastic bottles contains...micro plastics...duh).

Throughly washing hands and arms before and after session (before Covid)

 

Witnessing throwing used table sheets in the washing machine when the session is over (before covid)

 

Witnessing sanitizing the table (before Covid)

 

All these are kind of expected during Covid. But before Covid it was nice to see masseurs going the extra mile and doing all that...

 

I’m sure some masseurs don’t even wash the sheets between clients... and the ones that use bed for the massage use the same sheets and pillows. That’s why when possible I prefer to host and pay a little more.

WOW!

The smug is strong in you. You must have a stroke daily when you see the waste in society, as opposed to appreciating a kind gesture

[ontheroad]

Right before I went to his apartment me told he his friend tested positive and he was nervous. We agreed to wear masks and I accepted the risk. He texted me a couple hours after The session with his negative covid results and all of his personal info because he couldn’t live with himself if he gave someone covid. I found that to be amazingly sweet.

I guess if you are simply don't care about anything at all in this world this is the appropriate mindset.

If I write a good review, I like when they respond on RM (and not the same cookie cutter to all)

[+ 7829V]

When I request a “shower together” and they don’t make it count towards the “massage time”. So basically it’s a freebie ;-)

Why do you tip masseurs who don’t work out of a salon? It’s totally unnecessary and uncalled for. You realize they keep 100 percent of their rates, no?

The “tip” topic has been discussed ad nauseam in this forum. I invite you to do a search and discuss the topic there.

No, total WASP. Best start to a massage ever.
