I know the correct answer depends on how you feel and if you felt you had a good experience.  My question is more of, does she expect a tip?  I don't see much in the reviews about tipping.  Is it expected in some ways or not expected.  I know it's dependent on the provider, but how many expect them 50%, more or less.  Of course the final question is how much.  Is $40 for a $200 too much or too little.  Let me know.

Generally, I tip say 50 on a 200 hour date.  I have occasionally not tipped on a bad provider not but since there is so much information on providers these days it is rare for me to have bad match.  I recommend the tip for good service.  The girls appreciate it and it make for a great next encounter.

I really think it's up to the hobbiest.20% is good.I personally have had tips range from 20$ to 100$ it all depends on the person.But you Don't have to TIP if you don't want too.I know I always appreciate it!!!!!!!!!LOL  Grayeyed Nicolexoxo

There doesn't seem to be a set percentage.  Dole out the tip according to how well you were treated.

Generally you tip agency girls because they split the fee with the house. Otherwise tipping is just a sign of appreciation. If you can afford it and it comes to mind, do it. Personally... I like tips, but I like small gifts like earrings just as much.

My past post on a very similar subject went something like this:

I personally don't believe in tipping providers, though I am not against it.  Though it is never ever wrong to do so.  The vast majority of providers work for themselves and the donation they recieve (which isn't pocket change for many of us) all goes to them.  I'm not going to tip on top of that.  Servers in restaurant and others in other various service industries do not get the the money we pay for a meal or a ride in cab and should be tipped accordingly if the service was good.  I have never tipped except when about to be ripped off.  You know when a provider says, "it's $200 to show up.  Anything else requires a tip." I learned from that experience.  For me not tipping has never been a problem.  In the past I have seen a few girls several times and they are always happy to see me when I return.  I'm a good guy, I pay, I don't do anything weird and I'm not LE.  What more could a provider ask for?  I'm not rich enough or stupid enough to shower girls with gifts so I do not.  Tipping should never be required or expected in this hobby.  If it is, I would look elsewhere.  

If you had an exquisite, above your expectation encounter then tipping would be fine after the fact.  If you are required to pay more up front then previously discussed you are about to get ripped off.  Leave or tell the provider to leave.  

indies should get what they agreed on before hand unless you want an extra you didn't discuss, like greek when greek isn't part of her normal thing.

affordable incall places merit a tip unless the service is bad. A 20% tip helps maintain positive relations if you have plans on returning.

hustles are an unavoidable part of the game. a hustle feels different right away. takes experience to learn to sense the hustle vibe from a good thing vibe. every newbie has to go through it. Sometimes they get you up and going then suddenly pull back and need a tip ever so badly. there is only one way to deal with it. end the session immediately, throw them out without any further discussion, or get your own stuff together and leave. Be willing to take the loss without a fuss. Do not interact. Do not talk. Do not get physical. Get away from it with out any more involvement.

a detail: once in a while a girl may nicely ask if you will give her a nice tip. If its an incall place, and she's otherwise being civil, I would simply tell her "I always do"...

An indie should know better to ask, or she's gotten in the habit of dealing with spineless men. Not a good sign atall.

Even my ATF, dear girl, would try a few manipulative (but half hearted) gestures by telling me how well other guys tipped her. As if she could get a tipping competition going. I wouldn't say anything, and she respected me more for not taking the bait, 'cause she knew I was on to her, but had enough affection for her not to mess up the relationship based on her one not so smart move.

I do believe in tipping an indie if you stay a lot longer than the stated session time, or if she's made an exceptional effort on my behalf, if she's given something personal of herself, if I get the feeling she's extended herself to me. That's a very subjective call.

Call me weird or cheap, but I do not believe in tipping automatically. The lady has set her rate, I never discuss it. If tipping 20% is what you always must do, then why not simply increase all the rates by 20%?

IMO tipping should really mean something, thus I do it when I've really had a great time with a provider. I do that with girls I will never see again (out of town) or girls I see frequently.

When I tip, I never give less than 50$, I feel personnally that less than that would be insulting. The maximum I've given was the equivalent of a 1 hour session, after a 2-hour session.

I tip about 15 percent (more if she's REALLY enthusiastic), but I also like to welcome her with a small gift like flowers or wine or something. It just puts me in a better position (ha ha)

I'm wondering how you Ladies would like a Gift Certificate to a nice restaurant? Or would you rather have something else?

I'm in agreement with carlhungus.Indies don't get to  keep it all, but let's face it, there isn't a whole lot of overhead either.
I do always tip an agency girl if she is worthy of such. I much prefer the small gift route to cash when it comes to Indies.It is always appreciated and more personal too.
Like somebody else said if your going to add on anywhere from 20 to 50% just adjust the rate.Seems a little much to add on 50 to 100 dollars when you have already shelled out 250 to 300.
I'm not cheap, but let's face it this hobby is pretty damn expensive to begin with.

Hummmmm, so many things to consider. On one hand i'm sure that any lady has given a lot of thought to what is fair for both parties, and of course, what the economy will bear in her location. Lets face it, for most of us, this is a wonderful, but expensive hobby, requiring more then just "pocket change". I am speaking in terms of independants, i am not familiar with agencys. On the other hand, we are expecting the lady that we see to open up alot more then just a bottle of wine or soda when we arrive. No matter what the disclaimer my say about fees/gifts/contributions/rates,ect. being for time only, we know it is just the opposite. Yes, we all have jobs, and we all want to be paid what we feel our worth is, but some of those jobs come with alot more risk then others. No matter how good the screening, nothing is perfect. I have never had a lady directly ask me for a tip. For that matter, i'm trying to remember if i ever saw one even look in the envelope to check the amount. Do i tip? Yes, at times. Ok, most times. But i tip for a different reason. I don't tip for the physical aspect so much as the mental aspect. Unless of course, something that would not be considered "customary" took place, then i feel you should always tip. The physical aspect is basically bought and paid for, i tip for the conversation(stop laughing). I see one lady fairly regularly, and while i wont deny that moving from the couch to the bedroom is great, i never regret the time that we spend sitting in each others arms talking and kissing. To me, that's just as important as everything else. She is a fantastic conversationalist, we talk about everything, both personal and not. It's great, everything but the strings. When our time is over, i go back to my life and she to hers. To me, that's over and above. If all i wanted was a quicky, i would stop at the bar during last call and pick up the drunkest one there. Call me a moron, it's just my opinion.

You, Michael have the perfect attitude for this Hobby...Enjoy the moment, then back to reality...Win/Win situation. No lines blurred. Very health, I might add. Concerning tipping, as I have said on another post on this subject, you don't tip your mechanic for doing his job. Granted, you expect to get what you pay for, but you wouldn't pay for an oil change if you came there for new tires...!!! If a provider goes "Above & Beyond the Call of Duty", then of course, one should show appreciation, and a gift or tip is the way to do that(but a return trip, along with a honest, nice review, is also a good thing)ALL INCLUSIVE, for standard service, should be just that....If more is asked for, or implied, I would expect, a direct "NO" would get your point across, along with an "And I won't return", which, if heard enough, would hopefully, snap her back to reality....Hobby long and Safe love, Kisses Robyn

Your idea of a good meal might not be hers. Selecting a gift requires some knowledge of the real person. I find that a small framed portrait of myself is the ideal gift. Of course, you don't want to go overboard on the frame. Stores like Bed, Bath and Beyond will have a nice selection. If I have a nice upper body shot of me printed up in the 4x6 format, usually I can find
a suitable frame to go with that, either a pale wood to match my hair color, or a nice minimal metal frame to accent my masculine attributes. How can you go wrong with that ?

Some providers list possible gifts on their sites.  If nothing is listed, cash is always the best because it can be used everywhere.

I totally agree!!!  My policy has always been that tips are not expected, but appreciated.  Hell, I don't even like to look in the donation envelope because I feel that it takes away from the whole GFE role-play.  I almost always get really great tips, though... I feel complimented by them, but what I really enjoy is repeat business and great reviews.
