it appears to me that massages are a dying industry.

no new talent anywhere. all people in here are harping about is the knowns and the has-been's. nothing new.

reason i can think of :

younger generation of males cannot afford ( or will not pay for ) such services. consequently their female counterparts are not trained in such. the females who would still sell themselves do so on sugar baby websites, preferring three or four per week and still getting the same kind of money. so, i do not see new people working for massage shops. the only ones who might still pop up are the Brazilians or Hispanic types who think they have a golden pussy, and seeing them for a massage would be like going to a five-star restaurant and getting served food-court quality.

as for those who still insist that overseas students will be coming in in droves, i don't foresee them working in the massage industry. the poorer students no longer pick Australia. education fees in the UK, Germany, Canada are so much cheaper now, compared to Australia.
