Yes, it happens, but one can help improve the odds
[QUOTE=Krakatoa;4062797]I'm probably not as young or handsome as RR,[/QUOTE][INDENT]You never know, Krak. Besides, your personality probably outshines mine. My career has been in a dimly-lit office environment, not conducive to developing quick wit and repartee or other valuable social skills that would work for the ladies.

[QUOTE=Krakatoa;4062797]but I agree, chemistry happens. You've got to figure, most of these gals don't have a boyfriend or a husband. They spend all day looking at dick, getting men off, and not getting any themselves. It has to boil over now and then. My tactic is to turn the tables--offer them a massage. Most will accept, and I happen to be fairly good at it. Suddenly you have the upper hand, so to speak. Already you've broken the routine and established a more equal and natural relationship. Two people in a room.[/QUOTE][INDENT]You are [b]so[/b] right about offering to give the girl a massage, and the ability to [u]give[/u] a decent massage is a valuable asset. It's come in handy with me on more than a few occasions and helps break the ice, as you note. Not only that, a good massage - - - which the girl can often use and appreciate - - - will put her in an entirely different frame of mind, especially if you know how to give [u]hrt[/u] "the flip". (It also helps if you bring a decent massage oil with you. I keep a small bottle, from Bath & Body Shop, in my gym bag in case I visit an AMP on the way home, which is fairly often.) Also, the fact that [b]you[/b] can give a good massage will get around to the other girls. They [u]do[/u] compare notes and share info on us mongers. And, as you said, once you get them out of their routine and feeling nice & relaxed, then it's "[i]two people in a room.[/i]"

Income of massage therapists.
[QUOTE=Procrast333;4062933]How much do masssage therapists make at a parlor? Do they split the house fee? Same across the cultures?[/QUOTE]It depends on how busy they are and what kind of services are offered.
Without extra services (E. G. , standard NOVA finish and more), they make about 40 K per year at a spa that has average number of clients per day (E. G. 5 clients).
With extra services, they make about 70 K per year at a spa with an average number of clients per day.
With extra services at a busy spa, they can make 90 K to 100 K per year.
If they offer services above and beyond, who knows? Probably more than 100 K per year.
Most expect to make 70 K per year offering a standard NOVA finish.
