				Man Card violation?
			 
			Is it a Man Card violation if I open a business specializing in foot massages for women?  My girlfriend has said to me many times, "You could make good money doing that" and at first she was laughing and joking, but now she's actually encouraging me to open a business doing foot massages for women. Maybe it's a West Coast thing, but women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s seem to enjoy spending money on their feet -- pedicures, fancy toenail polish, ankle jewelry. My girlfriend thinks there is a niche market for foot massages, just waiting to be discovered. I think she's right, but this seems like a Nordstrom kind of business, and I'm just an old-school guy with a brushcut haircut. Can I just put on my mechanic's overalls to do this? __ | ||

			The trend around here lately is these cheap "foot" massage places. Almost all of them are Asian owned and run from $20-$40 per hour. I put "foot" because it's really more of a whole body-ish massage with your clothes on. I have been to one several times and I think they are worth the money. They do your head, arms and back (~30 minutes) and your feet (~30 minutes). I don't know what you were looking for $$ wise, but I wouldn't want to rub womens feet for an hour for that kind of cash. I would guess for every Bar Rafaeli that comes in, you have 100 Roseanne's.

			If you will be doing the rubbing, playing Enya and burning incense, then yes.  Violation. If you are going to get a small shop, some undocumented Asian import workers to do the rubbing for you and treat them like your own herd of hoes then no, no card violation.

			Think about it....  Do you really want to spend all day every day rubbing women's feet...  Keep in mind that a good percentage of them want be cute dainty girls with pretty feet...   And yes, your card has been burned and shredded. And did anyone else think this would be another Vash thread? | ||

			Would you want to do this to my feet?  I think this cost me around $5 for 90 min. in Chongqing.

			I think you should do it and report back. Its not like you are a "Broni" that truly is turn your man card in kind of stuff.  I personally couldnt I dont like feet and touching other people big old ugly feet with some sort of fungus on them is not my kind of job.

			Definitly don't shave, but do dress and smell good. "10% off for wearing a skirt." Bring out the 2-stroke special-attachment sawzall for the most unsightly of clientel. "Yah. I fix feet good. You stay still". The session will end quickly. Last edited by john70t; 07-22-2013 at 09:23 AM.. | ||
