I vowed I would not ever go back to New Life. However, I gave them another shot. Don't get me wrong, NL provides very good ts, massages, and expected service. The workers are just old. However, as others have mentioned, older providers tend to provide a more enthusiastic experience, but you have to accept the trade off: better overall service (with limited menu) usually means older.
I had been to NL two times about two years ago (both times they dove right in with HJ with no tipping issues, and I was able to offer / negotiate CBJ with a cover I brought with me). However, the age thing caused me to decide to never return. Recently I heard talk of a younger provider there that had an open menu. So, I gave it a shot. Perhaps I wanted the thrill of the unknown once again, and a change of pace. However, I got the same thing as before. I got an old provider, but she came with a very good ts, good massage, very nice tease, and no bra under her shirt-with nice big tits. Typical finish offered. Her tease made me horny, so with cover in pants pocket, I tried to negotiate more services. She held firm with only a HJ, with groping of exposed tits. I just couldn't overcome the age / service equation with the added tip $ included (usually I would give in) so I thanked her for a good massage, and tipped her $20. She actually said I was a nice guy for tipping what I did after being shot down for expanded menu, and declining HJ. So, with my balls still in tact, I went to Exercise.
I had previously vowed not to ever go back to Sky 1. Too expensive, mood killing stoppage of service to haggle on service / tip, and too often I got a robotic, uninspired, this is a just a job type of performance (Did I say I got horny at New Life? Off to Exercise I went with the same ignorant optimism I had just entered New Life with. "Perhaps they have changed. This time It may be different" -- It was the same as before. Young and hot, but crap massage, stopping the flow of service for a negotiation and having to get up off the table to retrieve the said dollar amount. Service provided, but nothing special. Questions answered. I guess I'm good to avoid these places for another two years until my curiosity gets the best of me again.
New Life. Old providers, but good table shower, good massage, great tease, and right into HJ with some great play. Service very good, but older.
Exercise. Younger, usually skinny and hot, but an assembly line of get them in and out quick with no real massage, and the usual mood killing negotiation with having to pay up front (I understand why they do this-avoid rip offs etc). To each their own, and of course your experience or YMMV. Either way, be nice and respectful, and don't be a cheap skate. Tip the market norm and be nice. One last thing. STFU. I can't tell you how many times I have to listen to a loud mouth come in and talk, talk, talk.
Lastly, News flash: other customers do not want to hear you talking while you enter the establishment, walk down the hall, or in the table shower area, or through the walls while in your room. You are also not in the slightest, charming or entertaining (even though you think you are). You also make the workers uncomfortable because they know other customers do not want to hear you, and they especially don't want the risk of you saying something inappropriate that other customers may hear. Lastly, due to cultural differences, asians are quiet and soft spoken. You should be too. Act as if you're in the library.
Thank you, good night, and drive carefully.
