[QUOTE=Seldon69;2294508]Is it safe to try Lux again, or stick with Michs?[/QUOTE]I was at Lux a little over a week ago. I posted in the Mount Prospect forum on 11/30/14. I never know where to post for this place. Anyways, everything was good there. I had not been there since the owner change and I did not have any issues leaving very happy.
[QUOTE=Bob521;2292353]This is such a nice place. Chinese. Laid back, mellow. They really care about you as a person. Today is a case in point.
At the logical point in the session, my MT asks are you okay? Told her about my diabetes. (3 years now). So we spent the rest of the time with her massaging me and talking about diet and health, and cooking. Her father was a doctor in China and she is studying to be a nurse. So a half hour talking about our personal lives. Came out of the room and chatted with Anna. The funny part is my MT offers me a candy and Anna says no, because of my Diabetes. They get into a shouting match in Chinese about the candy. My point in all this long-winded talk is I have never had a Chinese woman NOT care about my health and well-being. I tell them about my diabetes and every single one has diet suggestions. They transform themselves into wife-like care-givers. It is amazing to me. The ultimate GFE is when they really care about you. Bob.[/QUOTE]Hey man empty your mail box! I just wrote you a long mail to be denied LOL. I saw new girl at annas. Horrible imo. I understand why now but then its not right business for her. Anyways empty that thing LOL.

I agree she is in the wrong line of business. Nice enough person, but wrong job. Bob.

I've had some interesting experiences in AMPs. One lady gave me better therapy / advice on my rotator cuff injury than my therapist. Another said that she used to be a really good hairdresser in Korea and proved it by giving me a haircut in the massage room. I told a lady that I liked their scrub cloths and she gave me a new pack. In another spa, I said that the wood / bead head rest thing she used was pretty cool and said that she would get me one. Believe it or not, she went home to CA and brought one back for me as a gift. Singapore even gave me a gift wrapped fountain pen when I visited before Christmas. Overall, the spa girls that are there by their own choice are mostly good people and just want to be treated well. Think of all your friends that work in the service industry and complain about their customers. The AMP ladies have similar problems but they are probably much worse. Well, that's my rant for the day. Stay safe!

Before a visit, sometimes I stop at the store and pick up candy, cut-up fruit or nuts as a house-gift for the women to share. Cost me about $10, but I think it transforms the visit. You know they are stuck at the place for like 10 hours. It is a nice gesture that shows you care about them (which I do). One time, when our session was over the young lady asked where I was going. I said McDonald's. She asked if I could bring her back a burger. So I did. She tried to pay me back for it. Another time the girl mentioned she was hungry so I brought her back a grilled Salmon. This same one makes lunch for me that she cooks the night before at home. Of course, I know a lot of the guys on this forum do the same and sometimes much much more. So I guess Karma is a two way street.

It's good to hear that others here care about the ladies well-being. And some of them lived in the spa and didn't get out much (check for bedding under the massage table) so they appreciate any type of gift. It has to help make up for the not so pleasant customers they have to deal with.
True that, little gifts to them go a long way. The same way that food is the way to a mans heart is also true with women too. One time after a session at Kyoto in Grayslake, Summer asked me if I would go pick up a pizza for them. I did and you would've thought I brought them back home made kim chee from their mothers kitchen. Yes cut up fruit is always a hit and the nuts idea is one I'm going to try. Pass on chocolate as I've found they're not as fond of it as Americans and Europeans are. Granted this will only seem appropriate after getting to know someone after a few visits as it could very well raise a huge flag on the first visit. But it does add to the bonding process which could lead to more GFE type of sessions down the road. It's similar to the same marketing ploy they use on us when they insist we leave with a bottle of water or mint in our hands. Great wisdom from Bob521, thanks for sharing.
I was not a class act yesterday at Mich's, I'm sorry to say. The MT "Happy" was one of the best I've ever had (details to trusted seniors upon request). Language barrier resulted in a misunderstanding that looking back I can see was mostly me being a jerkbag (again, details to trusted seniors available). Apart from an initial request for way too high of a tip, Happy conducted herself admirably and she was very cute (thick, big boobs) to boot, and so did mamasan.
I'm not planning a return anytime soon because my December budget just doesn't allow it, but I hope I didn't turn her of to this awesome spa. Guys, she was great, someone go and take care of this cutie!
[QUOTE=Bob521;2295932]Before a visit, sometimes I stop at the store and pick up candy[/QUOTE]I pick up chocolates when time permits. It's amazing the difference in service you get. I've done flowers a few times, which requires more planning. Anyone who says they don't make Viagra for women has never given one a box of Mint Meltaways.

I once took a gift set of Estes Lauder that Macys was giving away for making a purchas. My S / O didn't like it, and tossed it, so I dug it out, and kept it on the side until needed. A certain MT that worked at the old GQ, then went on to Maple was the receipiant of said gift. That was the best session I ever had. Another time, like you, the girl was hungry, so I went to Capt. Porkys, and got them some BBQ. I even got them alligator tail to try. Didn't tell them what it was until after they ate some. They got a good laugh from it. Treat them nice, and they will treat you nice.

Its the stomach rumbling and not somewhere else.

[QUOTE=Bob521;2288441]Anna told me she has a new girl, Gige. Works W, Th. I have no direct information (yet).
I believe that makes Lisa, (20's, smoke breath, but sweet, nice person, my personal favorite.) Linda (30's, slim, saw her a couple months ago. Also a nice person). Vicki (Young, pretty, a little less experienced.) Kerry (A little older, late 30's I guess. Good masseuse.) Tip $40-$50. Bob.[/QUOTE]By "young", do you mean 20's or 30's? (About vicki).
Thanks!
I tried Anna's a couple weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon. Language was a bit of a problem to begin with. You want shower? Yes. Ten mo. You want hard? Excuse me? Massage hard? Ah sure. Ten mo. OK, so now I'm deep in the hole. Table shower was rather impersonal, but the massage got better and better. She went from hard to medium to soft touch. Didn't mind me rubbing her legs. She even kissed the back of my head. Isn't that nice? OK, all of a sudden, Time Up, and she's out the door, and she leaves the door standing open with my butt hanging out there. Mixed signals once again. On my way out I see one of you guys sitting in the lobby. Sorry if I didn't warn you.
