On the flip side, being a male in a female dominated field (massage therapist) has its own problems. In that field, men have a bad rep that they might make a move on a client, and the females play that up to the max. “Oh, are you sure you want a male?’ Playing it up like something is wrong with having a guy work on them.

Conversely, despite the fact women seem to get preferential booking...they try to pawn off their ‘undesirables’ on us. Most of them want to do an easy Swedish massage all day, but the second they see a large man or female they are trying to get the front desk to change the booking. Not to mention the endless cliques and power plays I’ve seen in my years in that field. Men might be pigs, but all women are a dramatic pain in the ass.
