In my opinion, EMP is the best - and its where I spend most of my energy. Both in writing reviews for others, as well as utilizing the information left by others.
I do have
RB and Rubmap accounts, as well as Sac Massage Reviews.
RB is too impersonal for me. I have spent time with both escorts, and massage providers from there - and while I have found a few diamonds in the rough - most of the time the ladies there are overpriced for their services. You can certainly get what you want - but sometimes the time involved in finding them, going through the reference process, and then paying the exhorbitant fees - just does not compute for me. Too much hassle for too little in the end. When you do go looking for a bargain - for instance a
BBBJ - either you have to go for the BNG special with someone attractive - or you end up in a seedy motel with an even seedier provider. I prefer an hour session at the minimum - no matter what I'm after. This is not to say I have not found some top rate providers - but its hard to feel good about the $250-$350 price range. Lets face it - those girls are good and they know it, and they have no problem charging for it. Its like paying for a fine meal in a restaurant - yeah the food was delicious - but was it really worth the hefty price tag? And when going for the lower cost sessions in a cheap hotel - or worse yet, a motel - the possibility of interaction with
LE, pimps, crime, or disease rises sharply.I get the fact that these girls have hard lives and forced situations, but over the last couple years of interacting with both sides of the tracks - going to
RB, for the most part, has been a pain in the ass... And I seldom have the patience to see it through anymore. Especially when you counter the availability of the hour or 90 minute sessions of the local
AMPS - where you can get the attention you desire at a price you can afford and without being rushed or feeling taken - EMP has all that information within its walls, if you will.
Rubmaps was a small time site when I joined it a year or two ago - but in the last 6 months or so - its number of reviews in my area has increased dramatically. I have gotten many leads and tips from its reviews - but the level of hobbyist cannot compete with the experience found within EMP. Just a personal opinion. Not to mention that the reviewers seem to lack credibility and success rates. I cant believe the number of reviews that have no names for the provider, and lackluster attempts at
HE by the reviewers. I see a LOT of reviews that state something like: "I don't know if any
HJ (hand jobs),
BJ (blowjobs) and
FS (full service). There may be limits on how much service management will allow.">extras are to be had here - I didn't ask, and didn't do anything to let her know I was looking for something extra." Or worse yet: "She didn't offer any
HJ (hand jobs),
BJ (blowjobs) and
FS (full service). There may be limits on how much service management will allow.">extras - and while she grazed the boys a little- that's all she did."
Well duh! You gotta make an effort!
But yeah - the reviewers on Rubmaps seem inexperienced at both the hobby and the reviewing process. However that being said - its still a lot of data that's available - and I have gotten some leads from it - like my recent review of Panda Massage in Folsom. That spot was not even listed on EMP - but I saw a couple reviews on Rubmaps that led to my visit. The other side of that coin is the interaction between hobbyists. Rubmaps has a blog - but I think its written by one dude. The forum on EMP is a vital source of information and exchange of ideas and results. Plus it leads to private messages between hobbyists that can cultivate exchanges of information that is extremely reliable. The comments left on Rubmaps reviews go mostly unanswered - again pointing to the inexperienced reviewers leaving reviews - and while I have sent several PMs to various reviewers - I have yet to have one be answered. On EMP - I have a circle of about 8 to 10 fellow hobbyists - who for the most part I can turn to if I have a question or inquiry about a certain place or provider - and for the most part I can be assured I will receive a legit response with credible data.
Sacramento Massage Reviews - well its not even in the same conversation with these other sites. Information is minimal - subject matter is extremely separated - and 90% of the "reviews" or "posts" being left are from people searching for information - not people providing information. I will let my subscription lapse when the time comes.
