[QUOTE=TheIceGuy;3108697]How updated and accurate are the reviews on rubmaps? I see Methuen has a few, which is close to me. Which one is a better one in the area to try?[/QUOTE]My impression is the accuracy is kind of 'spotty' around here. Taken in conjunction with other sources (like this board or The othER board) results in aggregate information you might find useful. As always, YMMV. Other cities may be more accurately represented.
[QUOTE=TommyAnonymus;3113017]Sometimes economics works in unpredictable or counterintuitive ways.

When I buy a car, I don't care if the guy before me paid more. If a few mongers are overpaying my provider, it might make it easier for me to haggle down, since she has a "cushion" and might not feel that she has to charge me more to get her average pay up.
In other words, if she'a been overpaid and already made her daily / weekly nut, it might make it cheaper for me to get mine![/QUOTE]Of all the Asians I have ever known, the only "quota" that they've has is 20 dollars more!
LOL.

LOL.[/QUOTE]You also forgot "next time, we do more" and when knowingly shorted time, " next time, I make up".
Against better judgment I've been going here lately because it's convenient. It's hit or miss, but I finally got the name of a girl I've had a good 4-5 times. Name is Judy. She's a pretty good take. Fairly young. Attractive. Gives a good massage and decent HE.
I've been to this place on Trapelo Road in Belmont and have never received anything but a legit massage from a girl with a great rack. Anyone have anything else here?
Just pay what they ask, it's their deal. If I offer a tip it is because I felt the service was exceptional and I like to show appreciation. Tipping and tipping generously does not create inflation. These girls know that some of us are more generous than others. I will never haggle with anyone except the car salesmen because I know it can be insulting and when were talking about such intimate services, it's tacky and will be insulting. I'm here to enjoy myself, not belittle or insult these ladies. From what I have observed
with others, the only girls that put up with haggling are the girls who often find themselves in a desperate situation and live with a "it's better than nothing" standard. I'd rather not partake in that sort of thing. Before I even meet someone I have to be comfortable with the cost or I don't go. Plenty of options the fit the budget.

I have reached out today and asked if / when Lili was coming back.
I was told "she no work here, she no come back".
Hope this is not true, because without her this place is off the rotation.
If anyone knows anything different let me know.
On a recent evening, after a long run (and a shower), I thought I'd take Lotus Flower up on their claim to offer foot reflexology. I called at 8 pm asking for foot reflexology and the lady, in crips English, said to come right in. The place was empty. Two providers were present. Both in their 40's. One looked beat up and tired, while the other one was actually quite attractive. I don't think either were the same I'd seen there before.
The less attractive one started to lead the way toward the massage rooms instead of the little salon they have with the lazy boy type chairs. I told her that I was here for foot massage as I asked about on the phone. She stares at my feet (leather dressed shoes) in disgust, looks at me and tells me that the person rendering that service has left for the day. She might have said "he left", but it wasn't worth clarifying. She conferred with the other lady for a second, who reiterated the "so sorry" message. They double checked that I wasn't in fact interested in a body massage. I passed and left.
I can't tell if the chairs are just for show, or if they indeed offer the service when the right person is in. I thought I read that some guys have gotten that kind of service before. Some even claim to have gotten happy with it. I'm curious to see how they navigate from feet to happiness.
So it goes.

[QUOTE=SlowMo;2993823]I recently tried the new place in Lexington center on Muzzey st: [URL]http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/thp/5682283872.html[/URL].
Bottom line: average / standard.
The building is on a busy street with restaurant. Fair amount of foot traffic on the street, so that's a turn off. On the other hand, the place is inside a multi-tenant older house, and the AMP has very discreet signage, so it's somewhat inconspicuous. I saw two asian ladies. Both with dyed blond hair. Mid / late 30's I guess. OK looking, heavy makeup, very decent body. Not my type of women, but I could understand if they are for some. The place has several cameras inside. Average massage, standard HE, OTC only.

Catching up here. Some weeks ago I stopped at Green Spa in Bedford after not having been in a while. Still easy to get to, still fairly discreet. Couple of ladies working. Both in their 40's /50's, handsome but no sensual vibe.
The place was warm, quiet lighting and Chinese music playing. Typical setup I guess. The massage was excellent. Sadly I can't remember the lady's name. The massage was so good, and with her lack of sexy looks or vibe, I was considering passing on any happiness. I sure didn't send any signals. But she did light tease before the flip including a nice reach around that weakened my resolve. The HE was meh due to lack of skills, though no lack of trying. I didn't attempt otc or anything because blah. Took me a while to finish. Regular damage.
I'll probably go again when in need of a good massage, but probably won't give it up so easily. Aaaahhh, who am I kidding.

This is going back a couple of months, but I stopped at Crystal on Moody st. I wanted to be sure to catch their "grand opening" .
The front door is on Moody st and they have to buzz you in, so it's not very discreet. Another gentlemen caller later on had a * of a time synchronizing his ringing the door bell with my masseuse making the super long walk to the front door. Thank you sir for the repeated disturbance. Further thanks for making no efforts to rephrase when it was obvious she didn't understand you.
I was met by a very nice looking, if a little plump, short, young girl. Other girls were seated nearby behind Japanese style partitions. I was led to a room on the other side of the building. The session started well, with her standing by my head, seemingly pressing her hips on my head to reach further down my back. That was the highlight of the session. She used a ton of oil. Check that. Maybe two tons. No massage training to speak of. Oh, and she answered ALL calls on behalf of the other girls. So: phone rings, she tries to answer, walks out of the room to either convey the message to someone else or to open the door, then comes back to me. The cycle repeated every 3 min. After at least 5 interruptions she tells me that she has to cut my hour down to 30 min, so I got the premature flip. Not much to say here. There were no compensating disrobing on her part. Just a very average HE.
I reflected my disapointment in the tip. I will not be back.
SM.

Anyone have anything else here?[/QUOTE]Someone else posted recently, but identified it as Watertown. I went a couple times and found no joy and was going to give it one last go before a report, but it seems the consensus is in. Shame, because she looks good for what could be a low key place. She didn't drape me face down and she would really work the hamstrings to where it was worth the price. Draped on flip, and not much of a hint that there could more. She uses too much lotion though so I left with a nice coat of grease both times.

Has any one been there recently? It is at 72 Kneeland St. Suite # 405 4th Floor.
All the new reviews are on the 2nd floor. It use to be a great place!

SM.[/QUOTE]If the chairs are out in the front room I can't imagine getting extras. Anyhoo, foot massage is traditionally (but not always) done by men, due to the physical exertion and training involved. Before starting, a good foot reflexologist will probably inquire about what's ailing you (headache, cold, indigestion, you name it). Based on your answers they may have you soak in a custom herbal foot bath for awhile before getting down to business (not that type). Dunno about curing headaches but your feet / legs will feel great!
