[QUOTE=LexLuther; 1194233]FWIW, the concept of a Japanese provider is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. For the most part, it doesn't exist. Even in Honolulu, which has more Asians per square inch than any other city in the country, you will find no true Japanese. You will find lots of Koreans, Thais, Viets, even Filipinas pretending to be Japanese. But no real Japanese providers. It's an urban myth my friend.
If you can even find a girl who speaks Japanese, it's most probably a Korean girl who has lived in Japan. They somehow think they up their credibility or value by claiming to be Japanese. And judging by the number of guys who fantasize that they have been with a Japanese provider, there must be some truth to their assumptions.
LexLuther[/QUOTE]Footnote to the Japanese provider discussion: Found "Chizuru" through listing on eros guide, ad said she was Japanese, $.5 for GFE. Spoke to her on the phone (no intermediary) and she indeed had a distinctly Japanese accent. Said she just arrived in town. Made an appointment to meet at the downtown hotel where she said she was staying. I arrived on time, called, no answer. Called several more times over the next half-hour, still no answer. I have no idea what happened. Just another odd thing that happens in this hobby. Fortunately there are always other options.
Wow. Got shooed away from Smile with a "too busy too busy", even though I called for an appointment.
After the disappointment at Smile, I headed up the River to my usual spot. After ponying up for an hour and getting ready for a shower, I had to wait about 20 minutes before anyone came back. My ATF was busy (even though she answered the door, go figure) , so I got Candy. Older, D-cups, not the greatest in the face.
Shower was thorough (even more than I expected) , hard massage w / backwalk. Then came the negotiations. Upselling galore. .6 for NOVA, $ for BJ, $.4 for FS.
Bull. Shit. I told what my ATF usually charges (.4, .6, $) and she thought I was lying. So she threatens to call her in and ask, and then backs off when she saw I wasn't backing down and getting ready to leave. So we settle on. 6 for NOVA with roaming and DATY thrown in. Not counting the wait, I didn't get a full hour, either.
A pretty good massage, brought down by too much haggling. 6/10.
Lessons learned:
1) Weekdays are a better time to expect good service at an AMP.
2) Don't expect an AMP to keep an appointment if it's "too busy too busy"
3) Even if an AMP says it's "not busy". Expect it to be busy on a Saturday.
Must say I had a great time. PM for details but never had a chair massage like this one. I think her name was Soonie. She sat on my lap the entire time. Is this a NOVA thing?
I hit a spot in 7 Corners, off of Sleepy Hollow in a medical complex (think Viet). I was going to take another shot at Yung, from my previous visit last month but Nana opened the door and she looked fine in her tank top and tight jean shorts. She is athletic built, like a softball player, not some thin toned wafer that you can break over your knee. She is about 5'6", hair was tied up in a ponytail, C cup.
Nice TS, back to the room, she gave one of the best massages ever. If you need a good rubdown, she is the one to go to. She did the light touch on the backdoor, giving me a probe back there. When I flipped, that's when thing kind of went sour. She played the "name your own price" game. I hate this $hit. Seniors can pm me for the details. In general, she wanted 100 for service that was less than DC services and we finally agreed to 80, with 20 of that for ip for a very good massage.
I had to initiate small talk to get her to tell me her name and just chit chat, let her know I have been there before. Very different attitude from Yung, who was asking me my name, where I lived, etc. She seemed to have a good personality but she isn't the one to really initiate conversation. Maybe she was pissed with her tip. Oh well, I'm not paying her asking price of 100.
I think subsequent visits would initiate better relationship.
This is like the 3rd time I have encountered a provider looking for 100 for services that are on average 60, maybe 80, depending upon if the massage was extrodinary or not.
Ok so well, this is my very first post so go easy on me LOL.
I been reading the forums for about 2 weeks bc I caught interest 4 week ago. I did my research and began investigating bc I didn't want to be like one of those guys that come on here askin retarded questions knowing that the answer is right there, all you have to do is read or TOFTT, ya heard. Well anyways that's what I did today.
I went to atmb, out of the blue, I didn't have anything to do so I manned up and went. As I got there, there were no cars so I thought it was closed. I then looked thru their ad and found the number and called to see if it was open. Luckly it was open. I came inside, saw mms, said what's up LOL and she guided me to a room. As I waited a girl came, Lisa was her name, we began small talk. I used the guidelines of questions I found here. Simple stuff like, where you from, what's your nationality and stuff. I told her to massage by upper back bc I just got out of the gym. She did her job massage everywhere else. Long story short after the flip she ask if I wanted a HJ, I said no I wanted mo than that. A little back and forth conversation, we led to a bbj. 69, then I was done. Probably lasted 40 min, I had ask for 30. She asked me if I was thirsty, I said yes, then gave me some water and some snickers and a kiss on the lips and that was it.
Pm for? Or details. How I do for my first try?

As for your lesson learned list, I never expect an AMP to provide an appointment for a customer unless he is a really long time client. Other than that, it's first come. First serve from my experience.

Also, for future reference, in my opinion, I would not list any more services than a HJ explicitly on the board if you are going to list the name of the place in your report.
Happy mongering
I have patronized maybe a dozen AMPs, and am starting to learn the ropes on escorts (I. E, by appointment only, covert location not open to public, and FS guaranteed, I assume that is what is called an escort). As I see it, the advantage of an escort is knowing you will get FS and all that goes with it. On the other hand, AMPs are easier to arrange and seem less risky. I also take pleasure from the process of coaxing out extras at AMPs. The fact that it sometimes fails makes it thrilling when it succeeds.
In the end it comes down to chemistry. I want her to experience pleasure too, and I go to some lengths to do that. (I have found only one provider who lets me make her climax and doesn't fake it, she is my ATF although not the youngest or prettiest I have had, and I do not share intel on her. I'm not sure why she lets me do it, but it's flattering.) When I'm having a good time, I think the provider is too. Conversation and eye contact are important. I realize these ladies are performers to some degree, but I'the like to think I'm capable of distinguishing true pleasure. In fact, that's more important to me than getting FS.
Some posters here seem content with the 'standard' finish and don't ask for more, they consider roaming just icing on the cake. Do you give as good as you get? Other thoughts about AMPs vs. Escorts?
Happy hunting.
Has anyone been by River Spa lately? I know the place is hit or miss, but I haven't heard anything for a while. Please PM me if you have any info.
Thanks
I saw a place on BP that was near Tysons (Apple). Rates? More than normal working hours? Any info would be appreciated. PM.

When I went to Smile somebody else was pulling in, so I gave them the courtesy of waiting a couple minutes before I tried to come in. And while I was waiting someone ELSE shows up and makes a beeline for the door. In order to avoid the likely awkward moment of eye contact between two strangers going to an AMP for the same reason, I waited another minute before walking up, and subsequently being shooed away because it was busy.

Just curious.[/QUOTE]From your previous report on Sunny, did you pay just the house fee and not tip?

Brothers. Perhaps we all have differing reasons and standards as to what makes a provider an ATF. Perhaps some use that term for most of the ladies they see. Me, I only have one ATF at a time.
I saw mine today. Suffice it to say, it was another outstanding 70+ minutes on a very non-rushed, and what turned out to be not-busy late Monday afternoon. (A bit surprising as she told me they had a fairly busy morning afternoon).
[B]Not rank ordered[/B], but here is what makes my current ATF so very special to me.
1. When I make an appointment, the appointment is kept.
2. Her smile.
3. Her location is convenient, and although management appears to rotate, each MMS has figured out I am a good client.
4. She always uses new towels.
5. She washes the TS-table with anti-bacterial soap before she allows me to lay on it. And there are strategically placed washclothes as an additional cleanliness courtesy.
6. She has brushed her teeth just prior to joining me in the room.
7. She does not smoke. But she is smokin'!
8. She has never looked at the tip. But on subsequent visits she has made it clear she appreciates when I choose to be more generous than "standard" (and on all but two visits over the past two years, I have been and expect I will continue to be)
9. She almost cried when I gave her a Christmas present (I gave all the ladies in the place Christmas presents (including MMS) , but her present was nicer)
10. For the hour+plus she makes it seem like a visit with me "is more than it is". And she makes it easy for me to believe in friendship and "more" (no "wool over my eyes". I'm a client, but I am a good client)
11. She knows my name and number and uses them (discretely)
And for discretion, I'll not list any of the details you are salaciously hoping to read, but if you will check my posts you will know (A) I am not interested in FS and (B) I think every aspect of the visit should be enjoyable / enjoyed (so my ATF would not be suitable for FS-hopeful. 30-minute "what can I get from the provider" hobbiests (no criticism actually intended).
She also happens to be one of the top-5 most beautiful ladies I have seen as a monger. And she does not let those exceptional looks go to her head. She is never jaded.
OK. I just reread my list. Perhaps TMI. Perhaps you won't care. But, as this is a place for us to share info, so I repeat.
[B][/B]I saw my ATF today. It was another outstanding (10+) NoVA standard visit that lasted about 70+ minutes on a very non-rushed, and what turned out to be not-busy late Monday afternoon. [B][/B]
Now. Perhaps you'll share what makes your ATF your ATF.
Be nice to the ladies!

Gents,
There is a nice new place very close to Glebe and Columbia Pike. Clean facilities, nice ladies, SM can PM for more. Parking is dicy, but not the worst. The entrance is right on the street, but it is not notorious. I went, I enjoyed, I will return, I do recommend. .8 for the house, .8 for the tip.
AD
Visited MWC at around 930pm, was hoping for an hour session but knew they may be getting ready to close. Settled for 30 minutes with an average looking lady probably in her late 30s.
Massage felt a bit rushed in the beginning but then I realized she was trying to get the full body treatment for me in 30 minutes. Overall, a solid massage session worth the 30-minute house fees I paid for.
I was not expecting a ts since they were already cleaning but the lady was kind enough to give me a thorough ts after the massage and good nova finish. On the way out some other lady and a dude (probably owner / friend / relative) came in the door and they rushed behind a curtain as they saw me walking out. Everyone got a good laugh out of it.
I was just trying to enjoy a good relaxing massage and wasn't looking for anything more than standard nova. So I left a happy customer and may be back another time. Perhaps a different lady next time. There used to be younger selections at mwc.
This used to be one of my ATF places but for me now run down by rushed service and upselling. NO different this time. I told Michelle the MSS if this was the same bad experience don't expect me back. So she gave me Sara. Sara was at Feeling in Herndon a few months ago and she upsells the fuck out of her services which are not that great.
Good shower, shitty 20 minute massage and a rub. She wanted. 8. For that I expect more service. I was talking to MSS and she came by and said I shorted her. I gave her. 6 and that was generous for 45 minutes of poor service.
Sorry but I should of went to see Blue at Enliven which she never let me down before. Oh well. All be Safe.
My definition of ATF:
Non rushed experience.
Friendly but not pushy.
Good massage first, this is most important.
Not asking for a fucking tip.
Not shorting me on time.
None

I have a few general rules regagrding this hobby: 1) Don't make me wait.

This is my money and I'm not wasting if on something that looks like a refuge; 3) When I pay the stated house fee, I expect to get the minimal service for that, including: a) Courtesy from the provider; be) TS (if the facility has it) with a throrough wash; and 3) a decent non-rushed massage. If I pay for 60 minutes that's what I expect to get. If I don't get all of this, I make it a point to complain to the manager (MMS) and indicate that I will not be back. I also don't tip for bad service.
I'm new to this forum and it's provided a lot of intel on NoVa. I know I was spoiled from the good old days of DC, but it seems there are some / many / a lot on this forum paying DC prices + for standard service. In some cases for less that standard service. I don't get that, but it is your money. Unfortunatly, this has an impact on the service and fees the rest of us have to pay.
Just my thoughts.

I think its well established that the house money is just that the houses money. By not tipping for what appeared to be good service you basically just used her and tossed her nothing. Providers work for tips, if the service sucks fine complain, etc. But to not tip for good service, well maybe you are in the wrong hobby and should just find a regular legit massage place or one of the many independent massage therapist in the area who do not expect a tip, there are plenty of those. By no tipping, you just sour the hobby for us who do. That fact that they invited you back is amazing, let us know how that goes, I am sure the ladies will not be lining up and fighting over the chance to give you a massage knowing you don't tip.

[/QUOTE]FYI,
Out of the $80 house money, the therapist in question recd about $24. 00 of it. Don't think for a second that all of it goes to the house. Anyway, therapy in NOVA is higher than the US average by at least 20 bananas per visit.
Goes to show that living by the giver of all money has its downside as well. As far tipping goes, its a on the person himself if he wants too or not. In BlkPrinces case, IMHO he did what he needed to do. I certainly have had bad experiences in an AMP where I left $10.00 as a tip for no service but to each his own. Some guys here nay think that they need to leave $80-$100 as a tip for a HJ but I feel otherwise.

Stop by the place on Gallows Road this week for the first time ever, but I placed a call to make an appointment first. She said it wasn't busy and appointment not necessary. I was greeted by friendly MMS, took me to a room that was clean and cozy. She took my house fee of. 80 since I wanted the hour long massage. I drew a young looking K-gal named Lisa. Nice frame with a small bust. She was friendly and very social, and her massage technique was firm. Not much to seek in terms of playfulness as a matter of fact, she was mechanical. She wouldn't allow me to look up or turn my head to the side away form the massage table's port hole (just wanted to get a better view of her nice butt). After the massage, the flip was a standard NOVA finish with not much else offered or even discussed. TS came after the massage, but I did leave refreshed and relaxed and very clean. I dropped. 40 for the friendly service and she was content. I may return for the nice friendly service. Parking was good. Located next to other businesses so during the day if you make a B-line from your car to the door, you should be cool.
Have a great and safe Memorial day weekend y'all!

[QUOTE=Xooom; 1201799]FYI,
Out of the $80 house money, the therapist in question recd about $24. 00 of it. Don't think for a second that all of it goes to the house. Anyway, therapy in NOVA is higher than the US average by at least 20 bananas per visit.
Goes to show that living by the giver of all money has its downside as well. As far tipping goes, its a on the person himself if he wants too or not. In BlkPrinces case, IMHO he did what he needed to do. I certainly have had bad experiences in an AMP where I left $10. 00 as a tip for no service but to each his own. Some guys here nay think that they need to leave $80-$100 as a tip for a HJ but I feel otherwise.
PC out[/QUOTE]Interesting. Years ago in LA, when I was "closer" to some of the providers, the percentage there varied between about 40% and 60%. (the very popular ones could command the higher percentage based on the business they would bring the MP, or they'd move on).
For a good NOVA finish, I'd leave 40, occasionally for stellar service I will up a bit, but given I can have hassle free, appointments with private providers, who provide good value, why go much higher. Especially given the $80 house fee in NOVA.

PC out[/QUOTE]The fact that BlkPrince didn't encounter sheer anger proves that the therapist is getting paid something by the house, and if these places weren't paying the therapists at all, the owners would find themselves with serious legal trouble.
Leaving 80-100 for HJ from a middle-aged spa lady makes no sense, and drives up expectations. The market rate for therapeutic massage at a spa is around 60-80 / hour. There are quite a few younger ladies who do FBSM that includes a quality therapeutic massage and a topless / nude sensual component, which is quite interactive and doesn't require haggling or breathing kimchee, in the 120 range.
This means that the charge for HJ and roaming with a younger masseuse is 40-60 of the total fee. There are some girls who charge 160-180 / hour for FBSM, but these are the top of the field: young, tight-body hotties.
Assuming therapists see just 4 customers a day, if you give an 80 tip, you believe her job is worth 120, 000 / year.
At the end of the day, if someone wants to throw an extra 40-60 of his hard-earned money out unnecessarily, it's his money, but why not try tipping 60 instead of 100, and see if you notice the slightest loss in quality of service, then bank the savings for future ventures?
BlkPrinceVa: You should leave a tip for anything beyond a therapeutic massage. It doesn't have to be the crazy money some people are throwing, even if it's 10-20, just as a sign of appreciation and encouragement, but if you're stiffing them with nothing, it makes them more mercenary and less trusting with the rest of us.

PC out[/QUOTE]Only girls that get a cut of the house pay in NOVA are girls that have a legitimate massage license. And that is still around $20 that is negotiated with the MMS. These tend to be ladies on the older side that have lived in this area for awhile. NOVA requires a separate licence in addition to the national license that requires local residency and registration with the county. Younger girls that tend to come in from NY usually don't get a cut of the house money, but it depends on AMP and how bad they need staff.
I've dated a few, and you can PM me on this, but I'll tell you in general, most girls require tips if they are to make money working in this area. The MMS only care about themselves. They negotiate the best possible deal to maximize their own income.
Personally I've gotten a little burnt out of AMPs, a string of really bad service recently, and other places to spend my money. Every girl pretty much asks for the tip upfront these days and all the prettier girls have left for greener pastures. Its becoming exhausting.

Where the therapist actually cares beyond the hour of service as they want return business.
Obviously your mileage still varies and some indi-therapists still upsell, but my experiences are better in indi-land. The AMPs can take a hike with this exhausting upsell approach. There are other options.
[QUOTE=Serpico99;1201624]Unfortunately, it's mongers like you who contribute to the piss poor attitude that these girls are giving out these days and other mongers have to put up with. So no TS and a good massage and you got an extra service but you did not tip? Yeah, no wonder why you think I paid too much LMAO. Get a clue.[/QUOTE]Based on the responses to our respective posts: 1) I should have tipped something, even if it was small. I agree and will do so in the future; and 2) Hobbiest like you are driving the cost up by paying way too much for minimal service. It's interesting you never answered my original question so I'll assume that you paid the house 80 and tipped 80 for a total of 160 for standard service. If this is what it takes to pursue this hobby in NoVa, I'll be retiring soon.
Question for the forum: Are we all in agreement that the HJ / HE is an extra service? Isn't this the minimum that we pursue this hobby for? If not, we're saying that we're paying 80 for a massage and maybe a table shower? Is that the general consensus?
All girls are in this for tips. They may get 10-30 from house money, depends on verbal contract with MMS, licence or not, local or not, tips are the only income. Once again, if girl ask up front, all you have to say is "it depends on service". I think it actually turns things into much better experience. How much for HJ or BJ is up to the person, situation, girls level of looks and service. STOP TALKING ABOUT TIP. EACH OF YOU TIP HOW MUCH YOU FEEL IS PROPER. It is boring.

If you don't like some of the topics, you can skip over them, but no one needs to be telling people what to stop talking about on a discussion forum.

Personally it ruins the hour for me. When you give an ok. To shitty massage for 10 minutes then ask for flip and price points. Fuck that. Then complain when I don't want extras just 1 hour of massage. MMS could care less if you leave tip or not. She got her money up front. Anyway.
Reviews. Lots of movement of these ladies from place to place recently. My go to places G&G and Herndon have turned to shitz. I need a new place to hit up. PM me.
