Doctors and a massage report
[QUOTE=JackRabbit2;2828874]She will even save you a trip to the Dr.[/QUOTE]1. ha! At a recent physical I was informed that the exam referenced above is rarely conducted anymore as it never detected anything and "some people avoided seeing their doctor because it. " I'm thinking now some people will avoid seeing their doctors without it.
2. Good experiences at the massage place on Breton just south of 28th street in the center of a right-angled strip mall, between a nail salon and exercise place. Three times with "Emily," once with "Lucy. " They're not exactly lookers, but pleasant enough and very agreeable personalities and provide the kind of massages I enjoy, especially when some teasing is followed with a touch of the boys, an inquisitive look and a simple, "this?" No mention of a tip. Massage is $60, I've handed over $40 or $50 on the way out. No objections from either when roaming beneath shirt; I haven't gotten around to exploring anything more. I'm happy to lie back and enjoy their excellent technique.
Classic Old School Monger
[QUOTE=Benz1;2829651]So I kinda toftt, I didn't go any further than the hallway. Saved my $70 and hopefully giving you a heads up before you call.

Benz bailed before any money was wasted. A lot of guys would give into the Nagging coming from the Little Head and stay anyway and be bummed afterwards. Just like a lot of guys have OVER TIPPED at the GR MPs recently, which drives up the price for the rest of us.
Thanks for the refresher course Benz.

Where's the Eyeroll Emoticon when I need it!?
I hear tell that over tipping is now called being respectful or being a "gentleman". AND any Monger that wants to negotiate / give a fair tip for the services rendered is Cheap! AND tipping just because the room is clean is cool because we shouldn't expect the 60 we pay upfront for the hour to include a clean room! AND any MP Lady that is happy with someone not over tipping is "obviously" dirty and / or on Candy!
I'm thinking of using this logic the next time my car needs to be fixed. Say the final bill is 300, but the shop is really clean and I want that mechanic to know I'm a Gentleman with Respect, so I'll pay him 400. Can't wait to go grocery shopping and find how clean the store is, so that cashier and store manager know what a Gentleman I am!

Generous, but not any more of a gentleman
[QUOTE=JackRabbit2;2830825]It costs 60 to get in the door. A MP does not get that. Only a portion. For a straight massage you should leave behind 15 automatically. Anywhere you go. Even if she is ugly and over weight. Then ad to that a conversation that is English, knowledgeable and of interest to you. Add 15. [/QUOTE]A MP gets 60. Sure the gal will only get a cut of that, as expected. It's not a $60/ hr job. Do you tip a waitress because the table is clean? There are some things to be expected. You're generous. But you're not more a gentleman to tip 50% to a waitress for adequate / par service than a guy tipping 28%. Just more generous. The argument is about Good, Fair Market Price vs Excessive Market Price. When too many guys pay excessive market price, GPS develops.
You do not make a good case for justifying why it should be Deservingly that high.
[QUOTE=JackRabbit2;2830825]You should keep the price up so the girls have self respect and get less work. Cleaner for all. And less busy.[/QUOTE]That I see logic in. But $60 for a massage + $40-$50 for a HJ depending on her looks, massage skill, and usage of time is a good, fair market price. You're acting like it is bare bones that any guy off the street is willing to pay, as if it's a steal. It's not. That is keeping the price up to not let any riff raff come waltzing in all the time.
[QUOTE=JackRabbit2;2830825]Don't be an ass. As often as you post, if you don't have $$ stay home.[/QUOTE]But by your logic, if you can't pay $500 for a massage and a HJ at the end, even if she's ugly & overweight as you put it, then you should stay home if you don't have the $$. Obviously that would be ridiculous to say. So really, the argument is just about what is a good, fair market price as the baseline and to keep the riff raff away. $100 out the door for 50 minutes keeps it high for just a massage and a wack-a-doo at the end.
