MasseurSteve's Personal Masseur Interview

Last Updated: Apr 05, 2017

- I'm so boring! I enjoy video games, comics, reading, and writing poetry (bad poetry). I recently started baking and I'm not half bad at coming up with my own creations.

- Go into it with an open mind. Some guys are crazy picky about who they work on and all that does is deprive them of cool and interesting experiences....and money. haha

Always try to get better. Whether it be the massage itself or the environment you work in. Clients WILL gossip..and you want them to say good things about you. haha

- About ten years. I'll keep on trucking until my wrists give out.

- I'm a little mixed. I moved here from Pittsburgh PA so clearly I like to travel..But I also like doing nothing and just being a couch potato. Depends on the day I guess.

- I'm a total goof and nerd. I read comics and I'm a bit of an artist. I just don't have that cool vibe everyone on here seems to have. haha

- I'm trying to think of a creative answer but I'll just be blunt....satisfied.

- Very nervous and kind of embarrassed haha. He was a little rude actually! Not that I blame him..I was kind of unprofessional back then. I didn't have money to invest into my little business so I used what I could. The first year was rough but things started picking up after that.

- I think that depends on the kind of work you want to do. My sessions are a little more on the fun side. I'm trained but I always default to the stuff that feels good haha. I have friends who do this and they never went to school for it. They do just fine. However, If you want to work on people who have very real problems, I think training is important. You don't want to make them worse.

- I'll be honest, the massage part of the job can be tough some days. I went to school for therapeutic massage so what I offer isn't a simple rub and tug haha. So when a client needs real work done I try not to overlook it..It can be a process, but its always nice to take someone out of pain or discomfort. Don't get me wrong, I like to have fun as well... But the real reason I do what I do is the interesting people I get to meet and the experiences I have with them. I'd miss that for sure.

- It's one of the few things that doesn't make me feel inadequate in life. haha I know what I'm doing...mostly.

- Nothing and everything haha. I'd like to believe that I bring something different to the table but who knows..I try to be genuine with people. I think that's a bit of a rarity these days, especially in this line of work. I really love what I do and I try to let that come through. Let's be honest here, I don't have a six pack or bulging pecs. I'm literally the guy next door. But I'm doing something right. I've been doing this for 10 years and I've never needed a second job. I'm very grateful for that.

- Like they made a friend.

- I often tell my clients that I'm spoiled because I haven't had a "real job" in almost ten years. I make an ok living and I'm proud of that considering I work for myself. I think I'm a solid masseur, but there's always room for improvement.
