This site looked very promising, lots of members in my locality so signed up, paying for a Gold membership. However after sending out over 50 messages only had 2 replies. The profiles do not show the last time they logged on and I assume that the bulk are old/dead. Recommend massageexchange.com as an alternative

I've had a profile on this site for several years, and paid for 6-month membership a couple of times. No responses to any emails or messages. No way to tell if they've even been read or just ignored. Frustrating at best

Gold membership for six months not worth a dime
October 15, 2022

Gold membership for six months got the gold this way people who are not even members could contact me. I go on Grindr or Scruff and I could use a receptionist I get so many messages I go on the competitor massage exchange I get four or five guys contacting me a week this site in three months never got a single request I think it's a scam. I've called the company about it they said your profile is working just fine and people have contacted you in the past well that before I became a member long before

Horrible website, I don't think there are actually any active members and it sucks so much you can't tell when anyone might have logged in last. I think some dude with very limited HTML skills created the site in the 90's and has been milking it ever since..

I joined when craigslist when down for personal ads. I used to find massage trade (sometime give, sometimes receive) there. After I joined Freerub ($89/year?) I messaged the top 10 persons it matched me with. Not a single reply. Then I tried to get a refund- not happening. The guy was inflexible. Then I figured I'd message most of the people who'd joined in my city (population about 1 million). This time I didn't message to trade. I just messaged "hey- did you get this message?". You got it- not a single reply! That's why I think it's a scam and messages go nowhere.

Paid for a year gold membership and have sent many many emails to other members and nonresponse. Contacted customer service and they have no way of detailing activity of members. Other websites are much better. I even have a free membership with another website and I get more emails there. Since I get none here. No way to even find out if members have read or received my emails.

Don't bother
January 30, 2020

I have been a FreeRub member for close to a year. I have sent emails to members who match or are close to a match and have only received 2 reply's. I have had no contact with anyone for an exchange. I consider it a scam. I will not renew and will look elsewhere and I encourage you to o the same.

The very poorly designed site will present you with prospective contacts that are either fake or obsolete.
Dont waste your time.
