Massage Parlor Reports

[SlowMo]

On a recent evening, after a long run (and a shower), I thought I'd take Lotus Flower up on their claim to offer foot reflexology. I called at 8 pm asking for foot reflexology and the lady, in crips English, said to come right in. The place was empty. Two providers were present. Both in their 40's. One looked beat up and tired, while the other one was actually quite attractive. I don't think either were the same I'd seen there before.

The less attractive one started to lead the way toward the massage rooms instead of the little salon they have with the lazy boy type chairs. I told her that I was here for foot massage as I asked about on the phone. She stares at my feet (leather dressed shoes) in disgust, looks at me and tells me that the person rendering that service has left for the day. She might have said "he left", but it wasn't worth clarifying. She conferred with the other lady for a second, who reiterated the "so sorry" message. They double checked that I wasn't in fact interested in a body massage. I passed and left.

I can't tell if the chairs are just for show, or if they indeed offer the service when the right person is in. I thought I read that some guys have gotten that kind of service before. Some even claim to have gotten happy with it. I'm curious to see how they navigate from feet to happiness.

So it goes.

SM.

I recently tried the new place in Lexington center on Muzzey st: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/thp/5682283872.html.

Bottom line: average / standard.

The building is on a busy street with restaurant. Fair amount of foot traffic on the street, so that's a turn off. On the other hand, the place is inside a multi-tenant older house, and the AMP has very discreet signage, so it's somewhat inconspicuous. I saw two asian ladies. Both with dyed blond hair. Mid / late 30's I guess. OK looking, heavy makeup, very decent body. Not my type of women, but I could understand if they are for some. The place has several cameras inside. Average massage, standard HE, OTC only.

SM.

I have reached out today and asked if / when Lili was coming back.

I was told "she no work here, she no come back".

Hope this is not true, because without her this place is off the rotation.

If anyone knows anything different let me know.

Just pay what they ask, it's their deal. If I offer a tip it is because I felt the service was exceptional and I like to show appreciation. Tipping and tipping generously does not create inflation. These girls know that some of us are more generous than others. I will never haggle with anyone except the car salesmen because I know it can be insulting and when were talking about such intimate services, it's tacky and will be insulting. I'm here to enjoy myself, not belittle or insult these ladies. From what I have observed
with others, the only girls that put up with haggling are the girls who often find themselves in a desperate situation and live with a "it's better than nothing" standard. I'd rather not partake in that sort of thing. Before I even meet someone I have to be comfortable with the cost or I don't go. Plenty of options the fit the budget.

Sometimes economics works in unpredictable or counterintuitive ways. And no matter how we think about getting prices lower by convincing others to pay less, or by buttering up a regular, you should not expect a providers thinking or behavior to make sense anyway. When I buy a car, I don't care if the guy before me paid more. If a few mongers are overpaying my provider, it might make it easier for me to haggle down, since she has a "cushion" and might not feel that she has to charge me more to get her average pay up.

In other words, if she'a been overpaid and already made her daily / weekly nut, it might make it cheaper for me to get mine!

I've been to this place on Trapelo Road in Belmont and have never received anything but a legit massage from a girl with a great rack. Anyone have anything else here?

[GamaDude]

Against better judgment I've been going here lately because it's convenient. It's hit or miss, but I finally got the name of a girl I've had a good 4-5 times. Name is Judy. She's a pretty good take. Fairly young. Attractive. Gives a good massage and decent HE.

[MarriedTom]

Of all the Asians I have ever known, the only "quota" that they've has is 20 dollars more!

LOL.

You also forgot "next time, we do more" and when knowingly shorted time, " next time, I make up".

How updated and accurate are the reviews on rubmaps? I see Methuen has a few, which is close to me. Which one is a better one in the area to try?

My impression is the accuracy is kind of 'spotty' around here. Taken in conjunction with other sources (like this board or The othER board) results in aggregate information you might find useful. As always, YMMV. Other cities may be more accurately represented.

[Tommy Anonymus]

In general, the only person affected by "overtipping", is the "overtipper" himself. He is raising the expectation of a higher tip solely for the services he receives

That's my $0. 02, not adjusted for inflation.

Mr Bao-there is some confusion here. He was responding to my post that there was some degrading of providers' looks and age at the Boston area AMP's.

Save money, no go Quincy or Chinatown. They will drop prices and get better girls.

Location is all in MA. NH might have better, but that's on that board forums.

I have a monger PM me about I'm threatening? Read the fine English, no one wants granny giving them any services unless that monger who PM me likes it that way! YMMV.

[MassageMama]

I didn't mention NH because this is a MA board. Stick with the correct state. I only stated Quincy and Chinatown. These places have been busted once and twice before. You may do what you want to do, just putting it out there. Hope I don't see your real name in the newspaper when shit hits the fan.

Thanks for saving us all $$.

I couldn't find any reviews of this place and thought to TOFTT. In short, avoid this place.

60 yr granny wearing a plaid suit pants and a polo shirt. Totally legit while carefully avoiding the area. The room is cold and so is the oil. She didn't even fold the dirty towel on the table before asking me to lie down. I had to remind her to change the sheet of paper and clean the table. On asking, I said hard massage and then she said it will cost $10 extra! The massage was mostly with elbows and foot with good attention to glutes. Wasn't shorted on time and on turn over, it has to be covered. That's it.

Strange, because up in NH and around the border I'm seeing the opposite at aamps. Younger prettier, and always ready for FS, not mention prices are dropping now at 130!

Quit going to Chinatown and Quincy for now as those AMPs are being watched. If ya horny mongers ignore it, then I'll see your mugshot sooner or later.

What makes you think Quincy & Chinatown AMPs are being watched? I'm not doubting what you say, just curious where you heard that so I can decide what action to take. Thanks.
