Another walk thru Waltham.
Stopped at 32 South St. I visited this place some time ago, the tall mature lady was not attractive and her partner was busy. Visited it again a week ago, the same situation. This triggered my curiosity, I really wanted to see the other lady who was so busy. Finally on my third visit I met Annie. I am certain that this place has happiness or maybe more, but neither lady was my type and I never partook.
Walked by 900 and 905. I have seen Angela at 905 and Sara at 900 before, I liked them both but was not in the repeat mood.
Just a little further down the street there was a foot reflectology place. I started imagining those small hands traveling up my legs for some additional donation and decided to walk in. A friendly guy at the desk asked me to setup an appointment. I asked him if I can see the ladies who work there, he said You Want a Lady? With his question he answered all my questions and I left.

Back in Metrowest for a few days
Back in the area for a few days as I always seem to be. Pink is pretty discreet if you use the back parking area and second floor access. I just have not been for awhile due to lack of talent.
I was at FBW Friday. Chose Jenny as she and I go back awhile. As great as usual and very friendly. Seniors and Friends PM me for any details. I will be headed out for more adventure if anyone has any recommendations in Framingham area. Be safe.
[QUOTE=JohnReid;2516982]LuLu from FBW is away for a few days. Standard Flushing visit. Probably back by Wednesday. Jenny is still there.
Tried Elm last night. OMG! Worst all around ever. NO happiness to be found. Plus I find the location to be horrible. Right at a major intersection. I mean the lines at the stop light are at the door! Parking is now designated by a spray painted 'spa parking only' on the asphalt AND sprayed on the building at the right side.
Remember the show 'BoomTown'? When all the kids would walk by the camera waving?
Yeah, leaving there kinda felt like that.
Haven't tried my other usual haunts lately. Last trip to 1154 W was a total wash. Believe she was the same girl that had been discussed from Main in Natick. (Same owner for both shops) She may have even been the same worker that I walked out on from FBW a ways back.
Again, I am finding my area to be suffering a miserable drought lately, totally devoid of any worthwhile talent. With the exception of the current crew at FBW. Admittedly, there are places around town that I seldom, if ever, visit. But I don't find the locations of Pink, 62 U, 82 C or 158 U to be very discreet at all.[/QUOTE]
Undertipping or Not? Let's discuss!
[QUOTE=BigHead;2517254]Today it is again Post#18197, the numbers get changed somehow. Anyway went to visit this spot today. 3 ladies were working, one very young skinny girl, another was tiny short round girl also very young, and a mature thin lady. Went with the first choice for half hour. The massage part was very short and quickly turned into a ST. The door bell was ringing a lot and she walked out of room 3 times, one time I saw another client standing in the doorway, this place is definitely busy and mismanaged. After the flip the ending was excellent. Total was 40+20=60.
-BH.[/QUOTE]Guys, can't resist adding my 2 cents here. If I pay for a half-hour massage and the gal gives me reasonable tease, reasonable UTC roaming on top, and performs the release with a bit more subtlety than a human jackhammer.
Then I will tip 40. If she's really skilled and allows a bit of UTC with perhaps a view, I might tip 60. That's for a 1/2-hour massage, so the total would be as little as 40+40 or as much as 50+60, a range of 80 to 110.
That's not an unreasonable amount, especially when there are halfway decent-looking ladies who offer far more than a clothed 10-minute HE for the same total fare.
On the other hand. Which doesn't happen often at a well run AMP. I've shelled out 40 for the 1/2-hour and had a gal refuse any UTC roaming. And the HE was performed quickly and roughly, without taking any instruction at all.
I'll still tip 40 in that case, but definitely not 60.
Where I might consider tipping less than 40 - and I'm a pussy about this, I admit it. Is when the gal interrupts the massage several times during the half-hour. Although the main reason for my visit to an AMP is for the finish.
I also genuinely enjoy the relaxing massage. If the lady has left once, twice, and even a third time, what I start to think about is how much time will be left for the HE after the flip, and if the lady will interrupt the fun, too.
To go answer the door. That's not very relaxing and not very sensual. So I suppose it's possible for a lady to offer an "excellent" ending in the last 5 minutes but to have performed a distracted, terrible massage that was.
Constantly interrupted. I'd probably tip 30 in a situation like that. If there was no UTC roaming, lots of interruptions, and just a quick. But well performed - 5-minute happy ending. To me, the 20 sounds a little low, but if.
There was no roaming, then a total of 60 for a clothed, interrupted five-minute HE is not outrageously low, IMHO. (There was a young lady who used to visit Boston, in her 20's, large perky ta-ta's, who offered a topless
massage with lots and lots of teasing right from the start, and of course a happy ending, and the fee for a half-hour of her time was 80. Compared to her, a total of 60 isn't too unreasonable.).

Took no effort to leave there happy for me
Strange, in my experience (I've been there 2 or 3 times) there never was even a doubt. I think the first time she told me (in so many words) to not tell anyone (oops) and made the "shhh" sign. I might have touched my junk and looked at her, but I don't think I verbally asked. If it makes a difference, I was there in the early afternoon on a weekday, and she never had to answer the phone even once. It'll continue to serve as my backup / quick spot for now. I actually like that there a bunch of other office in the building, so it's not obvious which one you are going to. It appears I'm just on lunch hour stopping at some business office or something (which I guess in a way I am.).
[QUOTE=MickPK;2510163]I made a trip to the "sure thing" a couple blocks north recently. Was just one older woman Nancy, not much to look at, probably someone's grandmother. I considered making a run for it, but it was late so I took the hour. Massage was very good and thorough. No teasing or hint of extras, just "all done" shortly after the flip. Not sure if she would offer HE or more with repeat visits, but I would consider returning just for the massage. Was interrupted 3 times by phone calls; oddly enough, she told at least two of the callers to come by at 9 pm (even though she had told me last appointment was 8:30), so unless one of them declined, it sounds like she's not shy about double booking.[/QUOTE]
I'm curious, though. A question asked respectfully
[QUOTE=BiggusBishus;2517557]Regardless of many circumstances if she finishes me she's getting 40. I never walk in expecting to tip less. If she offers DIY then 20. If I tip over 40 I use the Angels (of Quincy) in her heyday rating system. You know it when you've had it.
This is always a good topic to read as it gets churned every month or so. Highly recommended reading for the many posters that failed to RTFF before asking for help.[/QUOTE]Why tip 20 if it's DIY? I understand that, looking at it from the presumption of 40, it's a 20 drop from the 40 you expected to tip when you walked in. But if you paid 40 for the half-hour, and you admittedly entered the AMP.
Expecting stress relief (unless you really did go there with the main goal being the massage), you've already dropped 40 to have a clothed lady rub you for 25 minutes. If I asked you, "Hey, which would you rather lose: 40 to get.
A so-so massage or 40 to get a so-so massage followed by an additional, extra 20 to DIY?" would you actually pick the 2nd option? I think economics call it the sunk-cost fallacy, which basically means that once we're lost 40.
On a massage with an UHE (unhappy ending), we don't feel so bad about tossing away another 20. But we should feel bad about it, unless we think that paying 60 for a massage followed by DIY is just as fair as paying 80 for a.
Massage followed by HE.
If that's the case, then the 20 tip is rational from a purely economic point of view. But if, like me, you would never ever walk into an AMP feeling that 60 for the DIY ending is just as fair as 80 for the masseuse-assisted HE, then.
I respectfully submit that the 20 tip is not only not fair to you but. And here's my main point. If the ad that was posted featured cute Asian ladies in their 20's and hinted at satisfaction or stress relief, then you were.
Bamboozled into dropping the door fee and expecting a much happier ending that you got. Me, I wouldn't reward that kind of come-on by the AMP; it just encourages them.
Now, if the ad was neutral. G-rated massage promises, no pictures of young Asian gals (and let's add that the lady who worked on you was probably much older and less cute as well) - then, sure, I'll tip 10 for a decent massage.
And 20 for a pretty good one. Otherwise. . .
. . If I wouldn't be willing to return to that AMP and shell out another 60 for a DIY-ending again, then to leave that 20 tip means, by definition, that I did not get my money's worth.
Just my 2 cents. We all have differing opinions, of course.

Abomination at Mt. Auburn!
[QUOTE=ShyGuy77;2518369]Visited AMP on mt auburn in watertown yesterday. I have scene mixed reviews, but was walking by and figured I'd take my chances. 100 for 1 hour + table shower. I saw Amy. Massage was really good, but no extras AT ALL. A little roaming OTC. I tipped 20 because it was pricey to start and there were no extras. She demanded another 20 for tip, so I blew 140 total on a decent massage. Saw a much cuter you get girl on my way out. Will not repeat.[/QUOTE]We have to put a stop this. Sorry to call you out ShyGuy, but the fact that this woman had the gall to ask to for a 40% tip with no extras, AND you obliged really disturbs me.
I feel that I am a generous tipper, and normally tip 25% for GREAT service at a restaurant or for a satisfactory cab ride. Definitely not 40%.
You can not demand a tip! The fact that she even had the balls to ask for another $20 ontop of the $20 you gave her, means other guys must be submitted to these demands as well. LETS PUT A STOP TO THIS!
There are several posts about tipping protocols in this forum from more senior members than myself. I suggest all rookies read them.
This situation calls for a $20 tip TOPS, if the massage was great.
