Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Humpfree]Some one could maybe help me. Every where I go it's the same story.

No business is it LE? Are just the sign of the time? The girls ask me I don't know what to tell them. Maybe lower there prices. I'm told how 2000. A month rent. Some thing has to happen what?[/QUOTE]

This is my guesstimate:

Could someone help me? Everywhere I go, it's the same story.

No business. Is it LE or just a sign of the times? The girls ask me, but I don't know what to tell them. Maybe lower their prices. I'm told, "How, with $2000 a month rent?" Something has to happen, but what?



I hate it when people use their phones to post.

[QUOTE=Raoul Duke]Absofuckinglutely true. Know it, learn it, live it.[/QUOTE]Wished the forums had a "like" button cause this is pure win!!

[QUOTE=Nighthawk55]Also, understand in advance what the establishment's going rate for tips is. Offer this tip before you even get on the table. Of course, there is a chance you won't get the desired service without specifically requesting it. But those things happen. Don't monger if you can't accept the occasional strike out.[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry to disagree, but I can't support the giving of tips BEFORE the session. Not because I'm cheap, but I don't believe it sends the message you think. Let's be real - from the moment you walk in, the girl already knows whether you're getting a HE or not. Trying to convince her by giving money upfront might very well spook a girl who was planning to give you a HE with little up-front negotiation.

She knows why you're there. Show her your hard dick, and you shouldn't have any problem with her thinking you're LE. Still might not get HE, if she's "not that kind of girl..." LOL!

If you've mongered as long as me, you know these things go in cycles. The 90s was the golden age for suburban spas. Over the years there were dozens of spas from Hillside all the way out to Batavia. I remember back then a city spa was a rare thing - we used to wonder why there were no AMPs in Chinatown.

Now there are a bunch of city spas, but rents may be too high to sustain them all. Expect a slow changeover in the next couple of years as city spas close and suburban spas reappear.

I did that with someone last week and got probably the best service I have had in a year.

Stopped ny Violet Spa on Irving Park today on the way home from work. Girl I got (Sally) was so so, I have definitely had better there before. Massage was about a 5 and there was NO attention paid to any of the parts I wanted attention paid to. She told me she was done and I asked if there was anything else and she said she didn't do it. But then was pretty adamant that I come back the next time for an hour and she give me a much better massage. I have NEVER had any problems with this place. Even my first time there I had no issues with getting at least an HE.

This place has been spotty lately. Called a couple times and there has been no answers and driven by and its been closed. Not sure if Uncle Leo shut them down for a bit or not.

[QUOTE=Tt Gun]BTW there is CPD station two blocks down the road.[/QUOTE]That's probably a good thing. They probably help keep this location open once their shift is over for the day. :)

I hope you're right PittP. I miss the days of the good suburban spas. Back in the 90's, the Euro girls were not so common, so when they move out to the burbs, I'll be happy. I hate going into the city, and to each his own, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would want to live or work in the city. Traffic and parking sucks, public transit isn't much better, and everything is overpriced. I don't live in the far out burbs, in fact I live smack in the heart of Chicagoland. I like city-type living. But I make it a point to stay west of Cumberland/1st Ave and north of Touhy, where there is a little more sanity.

Had some free time and took a trip down Archer and stopped at Ruby spa. Naturally aksed for a half hour (I usually never need a full hour of 'massage' unless its therapeutic). None of the cute younger ladies were present. The place was empty. There were 4 women sitting on the couch. The one who went behind the counter and took my fee called for Judy to get up. I looked at her as she approached, and I also looked the other too on the couch, and then went along. I looked because if Judy was not to my liking, I would have asked for one of the other women. I was a bit surprise the one behind the counter actually called for one of them. With 4 present, I wondered why she did not ask me who I wanted???
Anyway, Judy and I go back for a halfway decent massage. On the flip, I'm thinking off with the top and lets get to work. She has other ideas. 1st she plays with the package as I rub her back side and hips. Now that I'm awake, she asks for a 60 tip. I said what - maybe .25 or .30 depending on how good the finish is. She get angry and says 60. I say no 25 or 30. Then I remind her I can go to Chinatown and get the finish for 20-30. Now she has this ugly look on her face and doesn't know what to do. She tries to tell me that 60 is normal. I of course disagree with her. So I said are you going to finish the massage or not. Her - how much? Me - 30. I remind her I can do this myself and keep the 30 for me! Her - ok, no touch. She moves my hand away (from her hips). I'm like WTF. I asked her if she is going to smile, and she flashes me a fake smile. I told her to forget it. I start to get dressed and she leaves to room.
I go out and she is talking crap with the other 3. She has the nerve to ask for a tip in front of them. I smile and reply no, you did not finish the massage. I tought of having one of the others sitting there go back with me and EARN a tip. Then she starts in about me going to Chinatown ...........
She is mad while I am totally calm and relaxed. I look at the other 3 and ask the pretty one her name. She tells me her name and I tell her next time I will choose her because she looks happy and is smiling. I like it if you smile and can make the massage nice. I tell them the other girl, Judy, (and I point to her) is not happy and does not smile -and that is why I am leaving. FYI - I am being totally professional and polite during this whole conversation. I thank them for their time, and I reminded the pretty one I will see her next time. She smiled again as did I. I left. Called and got better service elsewhere.

My points:
Stand your ground and use the big head and common sense.
(I tried to talk to her first, and make her realize we can do a finish at home)
Smile at your customers, and be nice, not rude.
* A tip is for services rendered (not upfront before a serivce)
* Smile and be nice (seems appropriate to repeat this one)
* Told her the same can be had just down the street at a lower rate
* Do not give your customer a hard time
* Be polite and professional (shows you are not being a jerk and leaves the door open for a future visit) Because the other one was definitely pretty (IMHO)

As with all of these places YMMV.
Stay safe and horny, HM2

There's only one thing I hate more than draping, and that is draping and tucking. I no longer go to places that feel a need to do that.

OK so kudos to Horny2Massage. I had a similar experience and would have to say stand your ground a tip appropriately.

Copper Tan

Based on previously reviews I opted to Copper to see Anna. Took the hour with TS at the end since I had already showered prior to my visit. If this is the same Anna from Alice's Greektown what a disappointemnt. This Anna has long curly hair and a great natural c rack early to mid 40's. So the massage was pretty legit with some brushing of the boys and contact with lil Sil. I figured all systems are go to the finish. Well that didnt happen. Towards the end on the flip she basically wanted me to self enduce. So I applied her hands to the most neglected area and she said "no trouble" "no trouble". So I said "theres no trouble from me" so as a anti LE move I proceeded to pull her top down and tasted the mameries and she didnt resist but she did still resist the HE when I assist her to that area....WTF!! She then told me lets go to the Table SHower. SO I'm thinking OK theres where the HE will take place. Well that didnt progress either so I left with blue balls. I left a $5 tip for her for the taste test.

Anyone have any experience with this one?

I think you are right. Even now if you check CL, you will see a few more AMPs advertising in the burbs.

Had a similar situation with an Asian provider. She was a 10/10 and wanted $1.50 but I held my ground. She was not happy and started to frown. I stayed polite and firm. Finally she gave in and proceded to service me.

Now at this point I'm thinking do I want to finish since I'm not in the mood. I decide to go for it. During a RCG I said "You could smile you know. customers like that." All of a sudden she gets this giant smile. We both laughed and she proceded to give me one of the best sessions ever! Tossed salad and all! Later we talked and teased. I will be seeing her again.

She needed to see that I was a strong guy and firm in my stance. At the same time I wasn't mean or nasty.

Being polite yet firm in bad situations always works. Some girls responed positively and others don't. The bad ones I always let the mamasan know in a nice way that I was not happy. Mamasan knows where the money comes from.
