serpius, how much would, on average, would you tip on a $250 session?
i want to see a lady reviewed here, but she works for an agency. i imagine she expects a tip in addition to $250 the review specifies. how much should i tip? i don't want to go broke, but i don't want her to resent me either. any suggestions?
Hey Soth,
Regarding tips in the provider business, there are no set rules.
However, be sure to read up on the ladies' information including her website (if she has one). She may have something about tips.
Some ladies do require them, but many do NOT require tips, but do appreciate them.
It doesn't matter if the lady is working for an agency or not.
So, the question remains, if you FEEL that by the end of the session that the lady does deserve to get a tip, it's up to you on how much to give her.
Myself, I always add a bit more into my donations which is essentially a tip AFTER the session is over.

I've linked a previous thread on the subject. I NEVER tip, but I do bring a gift. I've never seen an agency provider, but hobbyists will tip an agency provider, since the escort splits the donation with the agency. However, remember the agency pays for expenses that under normal circumstances an indie would pay for.
Btw, you should learn to search, as most newb questions have been asked before. Go to search, than fill in the subject in "search for" and then set the days from 30 to 365 for a years search. BTW, I;v never heard of an escort who "requires" a tip. Yes, some will hint about a tip at the end of a session, but, that's about it.

hidden,
i did try a search. but the results were obfuscated by the fact that the word "tip" has 2 meanings: 1) money, and 2) advice. there were so many results for the first meaning that it was hard to identify the second.

Unless the agency is known for up-selling the price quoted is inclusive. If you want to tip her that's fine but if she EXPECTS a tip, or hints at it, you are seeing the wrong girl and, quite frankly, using the wrong agency!
boston,
for the quality, judging from the photo and the reviews, $250 seems kinda low compared to many of the other independent providers who charge $300.
If you want to tip that's fine. Feeling like you HAVE to is a different story. You haven't even seen the lady yet.

you're dealing with an agency. In my experience, agencies prices are split between the agency and the woman. The woman you see does not get all the money you pay to them. If you wanted to tip, this scenario would make more sense to me.
Any woman would appreciate a tip, but it is not necessary. If you want to do something nice for a woman you like to see, their website often has a wish list and you can always choose an item from there.
...as with everything else it depends. The agencies I am familiar with state on their site that tips are not required nor expected but are always appreciated. You see the replies here where the posters say they do not tip. I have read some that say they are not tipping someone that makes in an hour what they make in a day.
Whether you tip or not is up to you. There is no set amount. It's not a thing like in a restaurant where the customary tip is 15% or 20% of the bill. Like a tip in that situation though if you feel the service was tip worthy go ahead and give the lady one at the end of the session as you prepare to leave. You can just set it on the dresser or hand it to her. How best to handle that may be on the agencies site. ( maybe not)
The donation you have reported as $250 about average. I've paid $250, $275, $300 for an hour with agencies.
One thing that may influence your decision to tip and how much is the fact that agency providers share the donation with the agency. Depending on the agency the split may be 50/50 or 60/40. The provider gets 60% in the case of the 60/40 split. The agency does incur the overhead that the provider would have to cover if she were independent though.
The others that say if she hints at or makes you feel a tip is expected are correct that you need to consider seeing someone that doesn't work that way. When I have tipped the provider has always said to me that it was not necessary. Which is precisely why I did it. It was appreciated and I felt she deserved it.
I'll add here check out the Self-Help Center and check out the links you will find there. I believe tipping is one of the topics discussed. Self-Help center link is at the top, right, of any discussion board under the red and white life preserver.
Have fun, please report back and let us know how it went and submit a review.

Funny book that deals with this question:
http://www.etiquetteforoutlaws.com/www.EtiquetteForOutlaws.com/Book.html
It was written in 2006, so add extra for inflation... It recommends you tip 15-25% to brothel workers.

Personally, I prefer gifts vs. tips. I give to a lot of charities so I usually ask the guy send cash to them. A gift is the only way for me to actually get something extra, and most women love bath and body stuff, candles, wine, etc. Small gifts mean the most to me.
