It's all about the profiling
[QUOTE=Vegeta32;2210374]Well there have been a fair amount of reports there and a few by me. I know this will sound generic, but the massage is YMMV (Depends on the provider because at one point they cycled people in), and if you're expecting more than manual release from there you're out of luck. And that's only if they know you. I'm sorry I couldn't help more. But pretty much any review will tell you something similar.[/QUOTE]And I mean it just like it sounds. They profile us just like many of us profile people we see or meet. The girls at Tokyo used to tell me I looked like a cop. REALLY! At Damn near 290!
I hear preacher a lot (and we all know some of them yield to temptation), but never preacher.
Hunt Well.
Brightness massage left me feeling gloomy

Being a quote, unquote "massage therapist / masseuse" is kind of like being the proverbial, Monday morning quarterback, as the decisions are so much easier when made in hindsight.
So whenever a lady walks into your room to give you a massage, it seems to be anticipated that this person can give a massage, but that is not necessarily true.
I visited the Brightness massage place this weekend, and my oh my was it horrendous from a massage standpoint. There used to be a lady that worked there who was really good, but she seems to have moved on.
The lady I got was a very kind Asian lady with glasses. She was kind, friendly, and she didn't hound me for a tip, but her massage skills left much to be desired.
I probably could have gotten a more invigorating touch if I had rubbed up against a therapeutic cactus. It was just downtrodden to say the least.
And no, there were no extras. She kept me completely covered under a big towel so much that I felt mummified.
So my grade for the current line up at the Brightness massage place is a big, fat, whopping the-.
What a Day Spa in Antioch
This place has recently started posting in the body rub section after only posting in the therapeutic section. I visited several months ago, not long after they opened, and got no extras. Curious if anyone has been lately and can provide an update. I realize that AMPs that provide extras and few and far between here but I thought I'd take a shot. PM if you prefer to keep it quiet.

Delta Massage flirts with greatness, but did not deliver

The Delta massage turned out to be a very ambiguous experience for me. On one hand, the place was very clean, and the facility is miles ahead of Brightness in that regard. Also, the lady who massaged me was very kind and friendly, but she did want her tip, and she let it be known.
But here is the catch. You will be tipping her for WITNESSING not participating in the quote, unquote "grand function / finale," because that is all that happened. Now the teasing and the occasional, yet purposeful, accidental, masseuse bump of the package will be world class, but your trip to fantasy island will never make it beyond the fantasy stage, at least it didn't for me and on multiple occasions with the same masseuse.
And here is the real bummer! I had read a report on here that some dude was hanging around like a chaperone. Well that report was true, and I heard him hovering outside my room quite often. Talk about a mood killer!
And yes, they halfway drape you with a meaningless towel for the most part, which is the equivalent of that first glass of water that you get in a restaurant that most people don't ever drink or want.
Therapeutically speaking, the massage was lackluster, insipid and humdrum -- kind of like having a rice cake for dinner when you were hoping for barbecue with lots of sweet sauce. I will definitely be moving on.
Here is my motto. If you are not going to be involved in the extras, then at least be above three steps down from mediocre with the massage.
