I travel a lot and have discovered that MPs vary from city to city.  Often it means I'm not a regular, and the first question I get is, "have you ever been here before?"  I never lie, and say "no."  That seems to put a more subdued atmosphere on things, I'm guessing because they are concerned I'm LE.

Just say:  "I've been to many massage parlors", or something similar to that.

but proves nothing if the other one has closed, or the gal went out business.

I know what you mean about MPs varying. I amazed at people who think what they get in CA or NY is going to be the same as in IA or KS.

Plenty of sites review these places, do some research. If I am going to a new place I become familiar with reviews and girls who have been reviewed. Walk in like you own the place and ask the girl her name. Then ask her if ( Cici, Lilly, Jenny, etc) is working. You will most likely get " Oh, no she no work today" but you will have established yourself as a regular. If this bothers you morally , well I cant help with that.

If one gives an unequivocal affirmative answer, the next question always seems to be "Who did you see?"  Not every AMP has ladies named Li or Coco or some innocuous name.

Just tell them it was a long time ago, and you saw "Kim". if pressed for info, offer a generic description. There's enough turnover at most of these places that anyone there 4-5 years ago is ancient history as far as they are concerned.

i"ll tell them a friend recommended me to come. And make sure you're naked on the table.
