"Are you comfortable with a male masseur?"
-
Extracted from Asiaone ... Any comments?
I think the spa should at least inform the spa-goers, but I think the spa-goer should also specify beforehand her gender preference. I am a guy and perfer a female therapist and always ask before hand also, even though most therapists are ladies.
"Are you comfortable with a male masseur?"
HAVING heard that Spa Botanica was a three-time winner of the Best Spa Experience award by the Singapore Tourism Board and reviews that they had one of the best service-orientated staff, I booked a one-and-a-half-hour spa session worth $217 on my birthday with a friend.
Imagine the shock I received when a male masseur entered the room. I quickly asked for a change of masseur and after a 15-minute wait, the manager informed me that there was no available female masseur. I had to wait for about one-and-a-half hours if I insisted on a female therapist.
She admitted that it was the spa's fault for not asking the gender preference of my masseur earlier on, and assured me that the male masseur assigned was very professional.
Frustrated, I was left with no choice as I planned to end my massage at the same time with my friend. Although the male masseur was indeed professional, I left the spa with a bitter-sweet feeling. It was a special occasion for me and, having paid so much, I did not expect anything to go wrong.
So what exactly differentiates a top-class spa from the average spa if not for its quality of service? Despite boasting a superior service standard we have in Singapore, it is these little details that all services should be more attentive to in order to live up to our reputation. -
Depends on where he's massaging...

You want female masseur right?
-
masseur is still masseur... why need genders?? unlike u want to feeling2 abt sumtin..
-
Hahaha....1 to 1 exchange?

I would prefer a old experience male, rather than an inexperience female masseur.

yeah, an old uncle may massage your muscles better than an inexperience female masseur (with hands). If you have seen youtube, Jay Cutler's personal masseur is a male.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:I would prefer a old experience male, rather than an inexperience female masseur. -
I already mentioned in my original poster that I prefer a female therapist....Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:You want female masseur right?
As to why I prefer a female therapist... I guess I am more comfortable with a female... I had a male therapist before and a massage is a massage... if I have a choice between a skillful male therapist vs a less skillful female therapist... i would choose a male therapist...
but the fact is most of the time you wouldn't know how skillful the therapist is until the massage... so when all things remain equal, i prefer a female therapist. -

I guess after this issue, probably they'll ask for gender preference next time. -
