Leave as is

Add a free trial period so I know what I would be paying for

MassageExchange Comment

Free members can already read/reply to Gold and Token messages for free. That's our trial. And that trial lasts the life of the account.

I agree with Bronco. Make the first exchange, maybe the whole first year free. You will see your numbers sky rocket. If someone proves to be an effective attractant, you might reward them with free tokens and you will see the gifts move faster. Train before charging is a great model for success.

Make it more affordable.

Members with Silver/Gold status should be able to receive email from non-paying members. At least answering an email they receive from us. They can read the message but they cannot answer. which is impeding the Silver/Gold members of the results they are intitled to.

as to the "Tokens are not recommended for Males seeking Females" policy this is plain discrimination. Why would a subgroup be favored. In my large city, these members are in minority (on both sides).

Most of the non-paying members are not professionnal RMT/LMT and are expressing their wanting to improve their techniques. Most of the times to impress their "other sex" dates, but they come to a "same sex" member to get those lessons.

As to a free/ad-based... try contacting manufacturers of products to sponsor you! Anything related to massage (furniture, oils... )

Having varied pay walls discourages me from fully engaging, especially considering how many inactive profiles exist in my area. Why pay more to message people with no gurantee of a response? In some ways this has turned into an OKCupid style of service. Which is not appealing to me.

Silver is pointless, confusing and a waste of money. On average I contact 1 member a month so tokens are the best value option for me. I like that I can buy them in bulk and then use them as the need arises, when a new and interesting member joins. I disagree with the official advice that males seeking females should not use tokens. In my large city there might be one new female member join each month if you're lucky so buying tokens to contact them costs half as much and if there is a month or two when no new members sign up then you haven't paid your membership for nothing. Perhaps try harder to attract and retain female members by not allowing them to be exposed to the creeps on the site.

Make it Free. No enough people in my area to justify this site. Its a great idea to exchange massage with someone like minded. Have to figure out a way to get more people on this site. Free is the answer. Once built charge advertisers

Reduce costs please

Ad based, free emails

MassageExchange Comment

Ads provide meager (insufficient) income.

tokens are quite expensive can you adjust either the price or amount required

MassageExchange Comment

Tokens are not recommended for Males-seeking-Females such as yourself. See your pricing page (https://www.massageexchange.com/membership/pricelist.asp) to learn why this recommendation is in place.

Create a members only search function, please. May on the site seem not to be members but I find it difficult to discern when sending a message...or I'm missing something!

Also consider a rolling monthly subscription option

Reduce the cost of tokens so there's more interactions

Make it ad based/free so it can grow only a few females on here from my area. Not paying to send a message that might lead to nothing. Members go months without login in

MassageExchange Comment

Regarding "Make it ad-based/free": We tried for many years to garner income from ads, but it never reached even 1% of the income necessary to operate our business. Sad but true.

simplify; I don't understand it at all.

Should offer a little free membership to be able to send a message

MassageExchange Comment

We actually already do. Free members can read and reply to Gold and Token senders for free.

Eliminate the current system. Suggestions;
- One off payment lifetime subscription. Introduce e.g. anonymity features or unrestricted photo views etc
- One free message monthly, no other benefits for non paying members. May help encourage membership.
- View ads for non-paying members to send more messages, and still help fund site costs.

Free members should get one free email per month to try and engage someone.

Free members can already read and reply to Gold and Token senders for free. (That's quite often more than one per month.)

Silver is confusing as silver members don't always understand their messages cannot even be read by free members. Only being able to communicate with other silver members is a pointlessly restrictive system.

I recently joined and cannot believe how complicated this is - just have a free membership with limited messages and a premium paid membership with all the functionality

MassageExchange Comment

Male-seeking-Male: Silver. That's all!

Create a one-time payment option, like a lifetime membership. Or just make it all free for everyone.

I never really understood Silver. Choice should really be a subscription model (e.g the current Gold) with an alternative also available of tokens for those one-off messages, which permit, say 5 messages back and forth.

Having three types is silly. Having just tokens feels like video game microtransactions and those are just too easy to get out of hand.

Should make Silver the basic membership. Maybe with a paid commitment people would be more active.

Not much can be done with silver

MassageExchange Comment

A majority of our Male seeking males members are Silver and it works out well.

The benefit of gold tokens for us is we can be selective who we can communicate with and allowing a response without the other party having to pay also. The Silver membership has little or no value for us and sadly a wasted token from the sender.

Make it all free

I like the tokens since there's not a lot of matches near me.

I'm ok with the current system. I've used Gold membership and tokens.  Gold was good when I was trying to reach a lot of people.  Tokens are more economical for reaching out to smaller groups of people, especially given that memberships expire but tokens do not.  If I were to suggest any change it would probably be to redefine membership so that current membership is required to contact a user for the first time but once contact is made, the ability to contact again never expires.

Better yet, eliminate both memberships and reduce the price of tokens.

Gives me a choice.

Choise is good.

I find it well worth it to subscribe annually, and avoid confusion that way myself. Simplicity is always good.

Make the rules clearer and simpler. Too much clutter and confusion.

The current levels of membership are good, tokens distract from the silver and gold
