Tipping a Massage Therapist

Ok. This past week I went for my first full body massage. Holy mother of God, that's all I can say about that. Not only was this chick probably mid 20's and extremely attractive, she also knew what she was doing. Where was this chick when I was rolling

Anywho, I noticed that there was a spot on the table for a gratiuity. I had no clue what was appropriate. I left 10$. The charge for the hour massage was 60$. I mean I know 15-20% is standard in the restaurant industry but I'm clueless about this massage business.

I hope I didn't offend her with the 10$ if I should've left more, but does anyone know if that seems reasonable?

And part II, how do you mack on a massage therapist, is this possible? I highly doubt it. But man trying to control getting a "special feeling" whilst she was doing her thing was increasingly difficult...haha

PEACE

Re: Tipping a Massage Therapist

I love the massage therapy!! When I go I usually tip ~$5 and they are quite content with that. Could be that they weren't expecting a tip from a 20 year old tho?

When she tells you to roll over onto your back, pitch a tent!

i need a plan of attack. cause i'm sure she has guys lusting over her all the time. But I used to go to this place for accupuncture and seeing the types of obese older guys who she gives massages to, i'm undoubtedly a welcome change.

I guess I could ask her if she does "outcalls" haha.

i'll just have to chat her up next time and she what she's interested in and then pretend I am too...yeah one step at a time.

$10 sounds reasonable to me.

Ask her how much it'd cost for you to massage her

I plain 'ol was straight up with mine the first time and asked. Well, I asked because insurance covers the cost of my massages...is that messed up or what. No wonder health care costs are so high...you just show up and 'go at it' (no you don't need to be injured or doc's orders for massage w/ my company)...

...anyway...she told me what they bill insurance is "more" than ample for the hour treatment. When you pay out of pocket cash...it's always nice, but not expected. I said "okie doke" and did the math.

They bill my insurance 100 bucks and cash payers pay $55...so that's like getting a $45 tip. What a laugher....I'm sure it's gonna be one of the first "bennies" on the chopping block to save health costs down the road.

Oh...and yeah there are a couple hotties that work at the place and I also have a friend that works the ramp down south that is going into sports massage....I offered myself to her studies for practicing

heheh nice m8....the first and last massage i ever got was on October 23rd 2004...Sasha was at Avalon LA...using his laptop the first time....so i had takin a few pills and i would say it was in the middle of his set, when i was rolling just nice....they had some hot chicks upstairs doing massages.....so i go up there (i can see the crowd and DJ bellow me)....and OMG .....i truly think that experince with Sasha in the backround/me rolling/getting a massage from a hottie was better then sex (closest i ever been to heaven)!!

She taps me on my back when she was done. i put my head up and say "oh my god"
she asks "how did u like ur massage"
i say "i think i almost passed out"
she says "ur not the first"
i laugh, tip her $10 and that was that!

i felt like a newborn once i went back down....i recommend this to ANYONE!!!

hahaha i remember that night...i was tripping balls on the dancefloor. good times indeed, care for a repeat this saturday?

ok...getting this gal to go on a date w/ me is now my obsession (which I tend to do, maybe infatuation, either way it's on my mind a lot). I have another appointment next week. so this gives me time to plan things to say.

only suck ass part is once she starts doing her thing it becomes increasingly hard to talk, just because how relaxing and good feeling it is. So this basically leaves me the time setting up before and after to get my foot in the door.

let's see how next week goes. I have no faith..and even if I took her out i'd so disappoint her...haha. but u only live once

and *drool* at sasha live and a massage...sign me up
