My suggestion is to rate the AMP, as an establishment, separately from the masseuses.
[QUOTE=Bentaki;4445322]What criteria do you suggest would be used for rating AMPs? Location, parking, cleanliness, privacy, shower, etc? And / or massage skills, or other services?
I've totally skipped the massage at both CC and K&J and gone straight to BJ / FS, so I rate them highly too, but for a good massage in McLean (HE-only style) I would say Hannah at Daisy or Julie at the Queen & King Spa. Can't comment on Angel's.[/QUOTE]Every AMP has features that can be rated separately as an establishment. As you mentioned, things like location, parking, and privacy don't change even if staff or management changes. In addition to those, factors like cleanliness and whether a shower (table or otherwise) is available might be subject to change, but still are more about the facility itself.
Individual masseuses, however, come and go and have varying levels of massage skills and available menu options. IMHO, to make general statements about how an AMP is good or bad, based on experiences with individual therapists can be a bit misleading and possibly even cause problems. Some AMPs have a relatively stable staff but others rotate often. And in some AMPs you'll find therapists who work only on the weekends. So, if a client visits and has a bad experience with one woman, it doesn't mean there aren't better options available. OTOH, when a client sees one girl and gets a menu option, like oral, and then posts a report that makes mongers think that option is on the menu for every provider at that AMP, that can create a problem if future clients expect or demand the same option from others who don't offer it.
So, just like you did at the end of your post with Hannah, Daisy, and Julie, giving a thumbs up (or down) by name is the better way to go. And the AMP itself can and should be rated separately using the factors discussed above.
Some observations about the local Thai FBSM providers
[QUOTE=TomMcAn;4445930]I've tried contacting Sophie several times without success. She was one of the providers I contacted over Labor Day weekend who were unresponsive; that's when I paid the Asian crapshoot another visit. Neither Alexa nor Candy are presently advertising, at least on Bedpage; I might try them if and when they resume advertising.
Luna and Jewel, aka Bena, both seem to be afflicted with GPS. I haven't read any similar reports about Pinky. It's interesting that she's now in Fairfax. Did Luna's crew relocate or did the ladies go their separate ways? Either way, neither Luna nor Jewel (aka Bena) have posted updated ads for a few weeks, so something is going on.[/QUOTE]While I'm no expert on Thai women, over several years of visits and friendships I've noted a few things that might help explain some of the things you mention in your post. First, their lives don't revolve as much around work and money as intensely as some other Asian (ex. Chinese) providers. So that means they sometimes drop off the radar for a while and go radio silent. But for some the lack of an ad doesn't mean they're not available. Tara, as one example, advertises infrequently but is almost always working. She has plenty of regulars and doesn't need to place an ad very often. But if you text her for an appt you can usually get on her schedule. The same may be true of Sophie and others. Also, if you're a good regular, you're more likely to get a response even if the provider is in "me time" mode. So, if you're interested in seeing Sophie (highly recommended), just keep trying and once you've seen her you should be fine for the future.
Another observation is their very flexible attitude about time and scheduling (think Island Time in Hawaii). This varies from woman to woman but most don't consider it rude or unusual if they need to change things at the last minute. That can be frustrating for clients but my way of dealing with it is to only make advance plans with those who are better with scheduling (Tara, KK, Nalee). With others I usually text in the morning (not too early) and make a same day appt (Sophie is one of those). It's also helpful to not get upset or take it personally if a Thai provider makes a last-minute change. For me, I consider it a normal part of the Thai provider scene. If I can accommodate the change, I will. If not, I'll just say "No problem, see you another day" and move on. At least 50% of the time the provider will change again and agree to see me at the original time. If not, no hard feelings and I shift to Plan B.
About GPS, I haven't encountered a problem with any of the local providers on my list, including Luna and Bena. My way of approaching the session is that I simply refuse to engage in any hard negotiations. With most, since they already know me, if they mention a tip at all I'll simply let them know that I'll take good care of them. What's important is that, if you use that approach, then you absolutely need to leave a fair tip and not be a cheap f*ck. For a nice one hour massage + BJ + CFS, a tip of 100-120 has always worked for me. Clients who are bad tippers will never become a favored regular and, because the Thai grapevine is real and active, word will get around. It's impossible to predict individual chemistry until it happens but it always helps to make the provider feel as comfortable and safe as possible. Sometimes doing a few minutes of massage on her is all it takes. And, assuming this is an activity you enjoy, some DATY often tends to have the miraculous effect of silencing negotiations.
About Pinky's move to Fairfax. I have no idea what that's about but, as with all women, some get along, some don't, and some just want a change. It could be temporary or permanent but I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up in Annandale again.
Good luck, happy hunting, and stay safe.
Alexa is not working any more
Man what is going on I can't seem to get any one.
Amy phone number is on some kinda bot first text I sent it replied back immediately this number is no longer in service. Than I said hello and immediately got a text stop. I sent? And got stop than I sent 1 and I got #leave all of these came back fast like immediately so it could be that she is not accepting texts from unknown numbers.
Alexa just said that she doesn't work any more but was trying to give me her friends info.
I might just go to K&J.
