How to win friends and influence people.
[QUOTE=FitBlueEyes;1226161]As a matter of fact, I did and found nothing on her website of consequence which is why I poised the question on a forum. It's people like you who make sites like this virtually worthless.[/QUOTE]For financial reasons, I may not be a prolific poster, but I can assure you if you act respectful, post some findings and help people by PM, this is an excellent site. However, you basically shot yourself in the foot with such a great response of your own.
What's amazing is that you can't seem to figure anything out
[QUOTE=FitBlueEyes;1227014]What is amazing to me is that no one seems to realize that looking on a therapists web site to obtain independent reviews or comments is like going to Ford's website to see what they think of the Mustang. Ya think you're going to get independent reviews showing on their website? C' mon. Really. All I was trying to do was get an independent review from someone impartial. Then everyone jumps on my case. Geez[/QUOTE]If I pointed you to the page on Ford's website that had links to Car & Driver, Consumer Reports and Road & Track's reviews of the Mustang, you'd still be complaining.
Peach Therapy / Annandale. Cherry
Visiting Peach Therapy a couple times last year, and I enjoyed a great time with Yoyo.
When I arrived, a nice looking MMS greeted me; I had Miketastic's luck with the same provider, or her twin sister (just finished a smoke). Decent TS and massage.
On the flip, she hands me my pants (as most of you could guess, I had no change on me). A first in all my years in this hobby. WTF, within seconds I was ready to walk; (remembering Pilot Aviator's advice to be nice to the ladies) I declined and she finished up the time with a decent foot massage, indicating more on the next visit I simply said we were too far apart, and I will not return to Peach Therapy.
My preference. A non-smoker, pleasant conversation, mutual give & take if they have limitations and leaving with a good feeling internally, with neither of us being ripped off.
Starting to hestitate to venture out, and for some reason all my favorite places have a "S". Soft Touch, Spa Castle, Four Seasons; just me, but it seems like this hobby has changed a lot in the past year. For the max, DC is a no brainer.
[QUOTE=Miketastic69; 1225822]Went to a fruity spot duiring lunch. Drew Angela (hard for her to say so you know its not really "angela). About mid 30's. 5'8", skinny, nice tits. Paid the 30 min house fee and began. Nice massage. Hot compresses and back walk was good and relaxing.
On the flip, she starts asking for $$$. Says handshake starts at. 6, disrobe. 8, and roaming 1. 0. She was not negotiating and pretty bold with her bargaining. Says she's done if I'm done paying. This is the same one that on a previous visit jumped out of her skin as if I were shocking her everytime I touched or brushed up against her."ouch" you touch me too hard. She took my hand and rubbed herself with my hands. Really a drama queen and turnoff. I was out of there on this visit.
On the way out, MMS asked how was she? I replied with "I won't be back." MMS told me next time its on the house. We'll see.
Damage. 6 for an ok massage.[/QUOTE]
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Went through the weather year last Friday and got Joey (Joy?). The place is nice, about a 7/10 on discrete. MMS brought me in, asked me to wait in #3. Didn't collect the fee. When J came in, she took the fee. I was already undressed. Helps break the ice and cuts down on the "are you Uncle Leo" interrogation. She took me to the TS, it was pretty good. Nice and soapy, extra attention paid where it needed to be, a little even to the backdoor. I noted that she had capri jeans on, and asked if she was hot. She joked she would change into a skirt.
Then to the sauna for 2 or 3 minutes, it was clearly new and not at all unpleasant. When Joey came to get me. She had indeed changed into a skirt!
Back to the room, I requested a strong massage with light oil. She did her best, but really it wasn't much more than some unguided and uninspired pushing and prodding. Some leaning into me with her elbows. Not totally unpleasant, but I can't say it worked out any kinks.
Soft touch began at about 45 minutes, on the flip she went down to southern hemisphere skivvies. Roaming was discouraged. The NOVA finish was a little more enthusiastic than ordinary, and was overal above average. She gave me water.
Then came the slight downer. Tipped. 6. She counted 3 or 4 times and said "honey, next time you bring one more." COME ON. It was a little enthusiastic, so I gave. 6 rather than. 4, but it was still NOVA STANDARD, no roaming, no "etc.". Since when is any HJ worth. 8? Maybe if the patron feels the provider was superb, but it would be the patron's discretion. In no event is. 8 standard for NOVA standard, nor should they expect it to be.
I am getting very discouraged. I feel like every time I go I'm personally battling back this push to ratchet the scale up a notch. W. T. F.
Overall service 6-7/10 pre-tip discussion. Tip discussion drops it to a 4-5. Won't be returning.
Yes Cosette, there is a castle on a cloud
Stopped by the Castle and had a great massage from Kim, with a very nice NOVA finish. No upsel! 8. 6 I will be back.
Cramming down time increases their margin
[QUOTE=Bostonpeter; 1232595]Tried out Top Therapy, have stayed away from AMPs in the last month since I was getting crappy service, but I decided to try Top out.
Unfortunately, like their neighbor Papaya, they have a tendency to force 30 minute sessions on you, though they didn't seem to be busy in particular. Got "Jackie", skinny woman probably in her mid-late 40s, decent thin body with merely OK face, black shoulder-length hair. She kept reminding me that I had only 30 minutes, so it was very rushed or felt that way, her attitude was a bit bossy. Had a good enough time regardless, but I probably won't repeat. Seniors can PM for details.[/QUOTE]They mark the half-hour at 75-80% of the hour rate, which used to be the incentive to get you to spend extra for a longer session (like movie theaters giving you double the popcorn for an extra 50 cents). Now, they're doing the opposite, maximizing their per-minute profit, while shuttling more customers through the place.
If they can get 50 for the first half hour, why work another half-hour for only an additional 10?
Happened to me at 7 Corners recently, when I dipped my toe back into the scene. Showed up when they were busy, so Mira asked me to come back in an hour for "special price" of 50 / hr (which was actually the same amount another girl quoted me on the phone as a "special" the day before).
Went back an hour later, then when I got in the room, she started in with "ho-ney you come so late. Take half hour tonight. Forty dollar, good price." "I come so late because you tell me to come so late, and you tell me to come back for 1 hour / 50."
Almost left, but already had invested a lot of time, and figured it was worth a risk for 40. So-so massage, decent on the flip. Seniors can PM for details.
KK Paradise. Or lack there of
I've tried at least 5 times in the past few months to schedule with KK, but every time it's either:
-she's too busy, try call back later.
-called back and no pickup.
-no call back after leaving messages (s)
I'm not mad or anything, maybe she doesn't like this Azn-Sensation. LOL! She has recommended a friend of hers (Magic) in Centreville who I have seen. VERY good massage with standard NOVA finish (thus the name I guess) and nothing else on the menu. No TS, just standing shower on premises, an Attactive Thai lady, about 4' 11", and 120 lbs with curves in the right places. She works from her townhouse, sorta easy to find, and clean and safe place. I tried looking for her on CL and BP, but no luck, she may be on Holiday. Damage was about $120, but worth it to me, left happy!
Back to KK, if she's anything like Magic, I'm sure it would be worth the visit, YMMV.
Please be kind to the ladies and be safe out there.
Best,
-AC.
