Ah I see where I read the post wrong. I actually thought he paid for super happy. Wow if HJ then I no comment...even 2B for just HJ is not worth. Not normal then haha. Even $239 for super happy is not worth but I do see this is how some people here pay anyway entrance + 150.

I myself wont pay more than $58 entrance if I want super happy. I only willing to pay more entrance fee up to $68 if the massage is good. Super happy caps off at $120 for me. Won't pay more since I travel to either Thailand and Vietnam almost every 10 days.

Worst still, many of this so called SPAs have introduced the bullshit Hot Oil massage/ Bubble massage (whatever they called it) which cost $89 or $99 to massage your butt or lower part of your body, then the ML can offer HJ to you. That being said, even if the ML offers HJ to you, they still charge you 2 blues for a simple HJ with autoroam, and they said this is the standard market price for all Spas. I wondered which idiots set this price.

My last straw is on a fateful day 2 months ago in May. I have been following this regular ML of mine from day 1 she started working in SG. She a PRC who came to Singapore 6 years ago when she was 25. She have hopped around many shops from the $45 per hour till the $89 per hour shop she is in now. So this fateful day in May I visited her, as usual i took up the $89 package as this is the shop policy and after finishing the SOP, I took out 2 blues from my wallet and prepare to tip her, this is when she told me now every ML in the same shop have set the market price to $150 so you have to tip me $150 from now onwards. I lan lan took out another $50 and passed it to her.

6 years of supporting her and yet this is what she did to me. How much money I have spent on her during these period of 6 years. Told my friend about it and he laughed and jio me to venture the Spas in JB with him. I was much happier, the MLs in JB can really play and less money minded. More Nationalities to choose from, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesians. 1 hour of aromatherapy body oil massage cost only RM75, The tips for the MLs for HJ with autoroam depending on chemistry is a mere RM50. The total damage adds up is just RM125. RM125 is equivalent to SGD$36 based on the latest currency conversion. I can get the same thing for SGD$36 in JB compared to the SGD$239 ($89+$150tips) I get in Singapore.

In conclusion, that sums up my thoughts of the worrying local Spa scene currently. I hope the MLs in Singapore can wake up their bloody idea. Bros, thank you for reading, whether you agree with me or not, you can add in your inputs and thoughts below.

The Greedy Spa owner set the price la. pretty obvious and for the autoroam hj , set by the greedy ML. My take is total boycott and avoid thes $58, 68, 78, SPA , and whatever and support those $50-55 SPA. Only go to those that has 1hr $50 or maybe $55 . That it ! Other than that please TOTAL BOYCOTT $58, $68 etc and up. If all can stick together, in no time, the money greedy boss either has to adjust to our demand or close shop

[Moshimosh]

Visited 3 times spa setting entrance fee 68 and 88 kind. All 3 times the asking was 50 for hj only and 100 for u to touch them plus hj. Got mixture of viet and china ML. Managed to negotiate the viet one to 60 to touch but then she wasnt even pretty
Honestly to pay 88 + 100 is too much for a hj. I rather save the money.

Dude...starts with ^6 years how much u spoent....^ and ^look wat she did to you.

A. She milked u like a goat
B. You did it to yrself, cos, apparently yr vocab does not include the word N.O. and/or you are too small in the balls department to say it, or too desperate.

I am a mere foreigner here. Not a local, so i shud be at disadvantage based on global norms.

* i have literally never paid over 150 to fuk ( total total); usually 130

* i have never paid more than 70 for a full strip handy...tho i dont do handy often

* i have never laid on a massage bed like a wet flounder waiting for this weird local thing called GQ...(btw, tis idea is also weird aka unknown to most of my local HK, loxal PRC pals in the scene);

I go in, speak to the lady i want directly, tell her wat i want & my price.

Outcome 1. She declines, i walk.
Outcome 2. She accepts, i enter, we shag, i depart.

Just dun get why people here struggle with this concept.

Sorry I’m same as other bros. This is not a worrying scene problem - this is a worrying punter problem. Bro, just say no.
I used to have limited opportunity to cheong and so I understand sometimes certainty from familiar ML is v. impt but fark $239??? Self inflicted. Got so many threads teaching what is the correct pricing. Even I blur sotong also only kenna one or two times then the burn feeling make me learn fast.
Anyway bro your username damn familiar. Hope you got whatever you wanted by starting this thread.

[ApacheOne]

We don’t not get it. It’s a different dish that many of us like. You talking about durian we talking about chendol.
You just go to Dome 1 and 2 forum then don’t need to listen to us talk about our dish we like lor. Or better just go to Geylang for durian can liao

Ok..intg response...but..hear you..but mate i am not talking geylang option ( looked a couple of times in past tbh, but usually not doable types IMO), Dome mebbe an option but always also the issues of attending the location, making a time and mebbe discovery of ^not fit for purpose^ upon d door opens! Been there/done that.

No, wat i am saying is...one goes to a lot of d type of places about which u r writing ( generically speaking not specifically), and one has not tis problem.

All i am saying is if i, as a foreigner ( ergo, i most countries disadvantaged vs locals), why are locals saying they hv such issues.??

As in being unable to just say no and/or getting milked like a Friesen cattle?

Seems odd

You not bored having same meat for 6 years? Definitely like to know who this ML is that can charm and milk you for 6 years.

For her to ask for 150, she is treating you as a carrot customer.

In the 6 years, what ROI you get?

My humble advice to brother here.

1) DO NOT think with your small head, you can ALWAYS reject.
2) DO NOT go with the mentality that you are going to fuck the lady/have special no matter the cost, you already lost half the battle if you think that way.
3) Don't be naïve, if you think by tipping well, you'll get "exclusive" treatment from her. Whatever service/attitude the ML can provide you, most likely they have done it with someone else too.
4) Let the ML know that you visit other MP or even tried out her colleague too, let her know that she has competition.
5) These are just commercial transaction, DON'T BE NAIVE to think that you are yan dao or special, is your wallet that they are attracted too.

Wow 6 years of 'relation'sgip down into drain, perhaps you may know by now its never a 'relationship'.
Meaning you've been her regular for years paying 2B for HJ, can tell shes really worth that or youre really into her. No judgement but similar to many bros said, for only HJ i wont pay more than 1B and another 1B for entry. But yes the entry may varies 50-60 depends on your own preference of accesible/location, shop condition and other facilities etc.. and most importantly if the MLs offer good massage.
Even for ridiculous market rate nowadays i believe we can still find 2B-3B for very happy and super happy services. Yes JB is definitely one of the great option but im sure cheongster like yourself understand very well the difference of most aspects
