Definitely agree with you Joseph. I think there are areas within the field where men are often preferred. Spas are only one field of massage. I think men have equal or dominant sway in the areas of chair massage and clinical massage. Even in spas I have seen growing opportunities for men.
I have cut out an unusual territory that is male exclusive....Male Orthodox Jews. That is about 1/3 of my business and half my business are women.

Male massage therapist here. I find it kind of easy working in a female dominate business. Seems there is a high enough demand for a good professional male massage therapist.
