I'm curious, how many of you tip your providers?

I have been told by many providers that the best tip a gent can provide is repeat business.

Thats my tip...I also provide....perfect hygene....great smelling body, good tasting cum, gentle fucking, slow kissing, teasing the kitty, love making and more.....I think the tip is built into the price and the bottom line is to act like a gentleman, take care of them, be respectful, and if you like them, keep cumming back for more.  If you look at my reviews I see my ATFs at least once a week, sometimes more (if I'm really horny).  :"  

This topic was worn out last week.

Sure, this is a service related industry and to show my appreciation for the session.

Here's the link to the recent thread.  Learn to use the search feature.

Some guys do. Some guys don't. There will never be a concensus on this topic. To me, if the date is truly great (9's, 10', etc.) & I know I will see that provider again & again........it's just the right thing to do. I can't think of any provider who wouldn't truly appreciate some thank you "notes" regardless of the value of those notes. Call it what you want, BUT it's still personal & sometimes it's those little things that count to some of these fabulous ladies when they are busy as hell.......but they make time for YOU!!!
I know I'm going to be ripped to shreds by some fellow hobbyists, but WTF? That's what makes the L.A. TER community so cool & why I always find great exuses to come out there for business!!

By the way........obviously, bad experiences (performance, hygiene, photos not accurate, no chemistry, etc.) are excluded from the above.

TIPS ARE FOR WAITERS!!!!

Hardly. I agree 100% with your comments and I always tip, as well, for the same reasons.

Does anyone here really believe that a girl making close
to,  or on some occasions maybe more, than a thousand
a day really gives a shit about a $20 or even a $50 tip
here and there? No way. Sure it's a nice gesture but it is
as necessary as an apendix. It's there but who cares.

I don't have to believe because I know they do!  

Try leaving a tip and see who calls you back and thank you.

Who knows, one might even bake you a homemade pie the next time you see them.  

& it doesn't matter if it's a $20 or if it's a couple hundred...............& I have done it all in between. It's the gesture & whether you think so or not..............they appreciate it. So much so, that I have had a few birthday & christmas presents with no expectations of any thank you notes. No B.S. & no embellishment......just the truth. Treat a lady right & she will always treat you right back !!! This is a hobby & a business, but do a little more & it's just plain fun !!

Do me a favor.............please continue not tipping.............it works better for me !!!!

Thank you for your posts about tipping and just so you know, I think you are STELLAR!!!!
Check your PM...

Actually, that's a very good point that I never even considered. The reason tipping is appreciated so much is because most guys don't do it. Whether you are tipping $20 or $200, the girl remembers you because you bothered to make the gesture.

So I will amend my comments: I urge all of you NOT to tip!  

I guess some people have to tip to get a birthday present.
There are other ways to make a lady happy without a tip.

Those are the two best tips of all.
Return visits and a good review
goes way further than a meaningless $ tip.
Don't anyone kid themselves.

What are those other ways?  

You make it sound so horrible if a guy gives a monetary tip, why?

Yeah I suppose that standard donation is meaningless too.  Money is money and it's why they're working in the first place, so I'm sure they'd just as soon get a tip as not.  I'm not suggesting it gets you better service, or endears you to them.  I'm just suggesting it's not so meaningless that they say "WTF is this?" and give it away or throw it in the trash.  As for me, I've only tipped like 3 times, but that was years ago.  I do a fair amount of repeats and review once in a while, but don't consider either to be a tip although it does factor in as justification for not tipping.

No one said repeating or a good review  is a tip.
However, that kind of consideration will be much more
appreciated than an extra $20 or $50.  They remark and
show appreciation for that good review.  That kind of gratitude
never accompanies a "meaningless" tip.
Would you get excited if you were making $150/hour
four or five times a day or more and someone slipped you a 20?
I think not. You may even think he made a mistake and give it back.
Give them a 9/9 and watch that performance skyrocket.
Simple economics.

Great reviews get them more business.
Much more valuable than a nominal tip.

It's not free to repeat is it?

If a provider sees a regular that they are comfortable seeing that is more then any tip will do . Its as hard for a provider to see a honest nice guy as it is us guys to see a honest nice provider that you are totally comfortable seeing in your house . So forget about a tip !!! Consider both of you LUCKY !!! For you ladies that are whining about a tip . You make more money in one night that some guys make in a week so stop the bitching about a tip .

Thank you for your noticing how much us providers actualy give. I know that I notice the little things as well. I always belive in giving a 110% no matter what. My main goal is to make sure that you are in complete, euphoric bliss the entire time. Nothing makes me happier than to see you satisfied; not just 1 time, but every time! I never expect anything more, but if you decide to leave a little tip or gift.... It just makes me want to give more in the future. Especialy, to make sure you know I am very apprieative. Besides, it should only get better.. The sky is the limit

I don't see any of us Providers bitching about a tip. It's the guys who are posting about it here!
I would say on behalf of me and my full service girlfriends, we LOVE being appreciated and loved as much as you guys do and are very grateful and gracious about being rewarded. We do enjoy spending our time with you but keep in mind that we met this way!
Thank you for allowing us to to do what we do best in a very safe and discreet way!
What a great life!!!!!!!

This is a service industry, so tipping is appropriate. Do the guys who don't tip also stiff waitresses and barmaids? Hopefully not, so what makes this different? I only see ladies with a 8+ average, so I almost always have a great time and tip accordingly.

I always treat my dates with respect, read reviews to learn what they like (to the extent you can trust reviews, knowing that the ladies tell us everything we do is awesome - lol!) so I can give them a good time as well, but I never forget that first and foremost, for them, this is about the money, so tipping for great service is only right.

I also repeat the really great ones, and I always write a review for the good ones. Interestingly, unlike a few of the responders, I rarely get thanked for the tips (and they're significant enough amounts). No complaints though, my repeat visits are always great as well, and the ladies are wonderful about giving references.

The General Board in particular seems to have a lot of angry, disrespectful guys and I don't get it. I have a blast in this hobby and have met so many incredibly hot, smart, and fun ladies. What the hack's wrong with giving a little extra back?

Comparing providers to waitresses and barmaids?
Now we have gone from the ridiculous to the sublime.

46 very happy ladies.

Yeah, no one equated repeating or reviewing to a tip.  Other than the guy who posted that in the subject line above.  Write a 9/9 and watch preformance skyrocket?  As if they all react the same, and as if you're the only one who has ever written a 9/9 and is therefore the expert on what may or may not happen as a result.

Yeah, I don't understand that dynamic. Whether the topic is tipping providers or securing references, or anything else really, it seems like the angry disrespectful folks outnumber the ones who are here to have fun. Makes no sense. My guess is, the angry types are here because they can't get laid any other way. And the fun types are here because they just can't get enough!  

Believe it or not, I prefer NOT to get cash as a tip.  A small gift, chocolates, wine, flowers, etc are always much appreciated.

Well my guess is the angry women cant get a real job and dont know what its like to really earn a living ! Lying down on your back for a hour and earning 500 and up . If your going to hate on us guys it goes both ways

I love you, Kate O'Connor and think you are amazing.
I kinda sorta agree with you about a sweet and very thoughtful and romantic gift, however, I don't eat chocolate or drink wine. I'm special needs and love gift cards, even to Target or Gelsons or anyplace from my home away from home aka the Sherman Oaks Galleria, just in case anyone was interested after the dust settles at the playground. lol

I think it's pretty obvious to everyone here that the angry dudes outnumber the angry chicks by 10 to 1, if not more. And, actually, I can see why the ladies might get peeved every once in a while. This is WORK for them. I get frustrated with my job, too, sometimes. But the guys? This is pure fun and entertainment for us. That's why I just don't get the hostility.

Whether or not you may think so, some ladies (dare I say most) really appreciate tips. Not every lady makes $1000 a day or even half that a day, so all tips are typically appreciated and I always thank the hobbyiest. A good review is great when you first start out but once you are established, they are pretty much for the benefit of the hobbyiest that gets free VIP. And to be honest, I'm going to remember the guy who left me a tip or brought me a gift waaaaaay before I remember the guy who wrote me a nice review.

Regardless, I will provide a great session. Most guys don't tip and it's not an issue but I don't think hobbyiests should speak on the behalf of providers. Any income that wasn't expected is always great in my book, gifts included. It makes me feel good as a provider than I made the experience so great for a hobbyiest that he felt it necessary to compensate me above and beyond my rate.

Just one provider POV

Guys who tip and never repeat with same providers are all about vanity.  Throwing money away to look cool I guess.  Typical new money LA style.
