[QUOTE=MongerMax;5085121]To each his own but this is my thinking as well. I for one enjoy the chase or the game, if you will. I know where the FS places are and sometimes I'll partake and when I stumble into FS I won't turn it down, but it's not my thing all the time.
Type 2 seems to be the easiest to deal with and it keeps both sides happy. And let's face it, a type 2 place is a more workable business model that has a shot at hanging around for a number of years.
My go-to's for type two are Beach and Dolphin in Ponte Vedra. And sometimes the massage is pretty good. LOL. But I like the walk on back service as well.
Type 2 in my experience has been the Chinese owned shops and that will vary between a good massage to self service to type 2. The Korean shops are usually the FS shops. Mostly. That's not to say that you can't find a FS Chinese shop, but it's less likely.
Occasionally I like to stumble into non Asian places that do type 2. Hard to find. I remember when the Ukrainian gang was in Jax Beach. I miss them.
Anybody know where LuLu is?[/QUOTE]Yup that's it exactly. I like the chase, and if I stumble into more than I expected it's a happy surprise. Much better than having the lights flipped on and having to argue with an old korean lady when she demands 80 for a HJ (cough PT cough).
Thanks though, I'll check Dolphin and Beach out. Is either of them significantly better on the lady front? Younger and/or slimmer? And that's good to know about looking for the Chinese-owned shops. And I'd love to find a non-Asian place for it too, keep me posted if one pops up sometime.
