An attractive enough guy in his mid-30’s sent me a message that said something to the effect that he was good at giving full body massages, so would I like to have one? My response was that my friend is a masseuse. He then said that I should try one of his so that I could compare. He also asked where most of my tension is. My next question was whether he was actually trained in massage or he was merely using it as a ploy to pick up women. I mentioned that I’m not one to have strangers touching my body in less than professional surroundings. He replied that he had “some” training in massage, then asked if I’d like to go to his place or whether he should come to mine, but we’d meet outside first. What did he mean by “meet outside first?” Did he mean that we’d meet outside his place or mine moments before I disrobed and he put his hands on me?! Apparently, that’s more formal than walking to the door, going inside and proceeding! My last message to him was “Neither. No massage for me. I’m not comfortable with a stranger touching me.” He said “Ok. Take care.” Thus, that was the end of our conversation.
Guys, really? Do you not think that women have heard the massage thing about two thousand times or more? Do you think it actually works? Even if he truly was only intending to give me a massage (and NOT the kind with a happy ending!), you’d think he’d work a little harder at making me feel comfortable. Not just by “meeting outside first,” but by actually spending an hour or two talking somewhere over tea or an adult beverage, going on a “date” like a movie or even sitting in the park talking. Even if we weren’t going to meet up right away in person, he might have sent me a few more messages talking about something other than him possibly giving me a massage; that could have given me an idea of what type of person he is. Anyway, no wonder he’s not dating. If he’s out for casual sex, he needs to simply state it and not try the “massage” route. I appreciate honesty. Besides, there are plenty of women that are just out for casual sex, too, so he’d probably get more responses if he was direct about it on his profile.
