m-crossman,
Been there - done that. Save the money you'll have to put out on the upsell, put it towards gas money and go east.
I've hit em all over the years - Golden Goddess, Waterfalls, Body Sensations, the one on Beach, Oriental Therapy Massage (Cherry Lane), and the other one on Williams (Closed now I think).
Every once in a while, I think to myself, "Why don't I give it one more try; give it the benefit of the doubt", I walk in, and OMG, "Now I remember why I don't come here"! The level of the talent at these places is just incredible; the incredible part is that they stay open. Quite honestly, I don't even know how they can make the rent. I guess with guys like me who wishfully think they've changed or guys who don't know about Dallas.
Most of them have a 70 door fee and then they start at 200 for additional activities and go up from there. It just doesn't make any sense compared to the value of your $ in Dallas. Even with gas money, you're way ahead of the game. I know, I know, it's not the gas money, it's the drive. I'm right there with you. For me, it's a three hour session. One hour over, one hour playtime and one hour back (No comment from the gallery there T.). And with a limited window of opportunity, I have to plan accordingly.
But believe, it is well worth it. If some cute, young, sexy plaything is willing to spend an hour with this ugly, bald, pudgy old man, and only want 2 bills, I'm there.
BTW - I haven't hit a FW AMP/Spa/Studio in well over 2 years now. If they've changed/improved, PLEASE TELL ME>
