Are you saying an escort asked you for a tip ? If one did that my tip would be to tell her do not ask for a tip

Usual rule, donation up front, tip after service is provided. Tip can be anything including zero depending on what you think about the service.No need to say anything about the tip beforehand. For me the standard tip is 15 to 20% for good service.

Tipping isn't required. Appreciated, but not required. I suggest you find some better providers to see. I never have and never would ask for a tip. NO decent provider would EVER do that. I agree with you 100%. You tip someone because they provided a good service. It doesn't make sense to give a tip before the service is performed. When I go to a restaurant, I don't give the waiter/waitress a tip before they've taken my order.

I agree with what's been said.  I don't think $ should even be mentioned.  Definitely not a classy move to suggest a tip as well.  Your money, your decision.  If she's that concerned about it maybe she should adjust her rates or go independent.

than what we usually think of tipping; that is, their service in not all inclusive (as reputable provider these days generally are.)

In other words, they advertise an unrealistically low rate, perhaps $100 or so for an hour.  But all that means is that they show up at your door.  To get anything resembling the services that you want is all extra and it can often end up costing way more than the services of a good all inclusive provider.

This is something that should always be researched on a gal's reviews.  I hope that you are or become a VIP member so that you can do that.

By the way, I would bet that if you enter the word "tipping" into the search engine on this page, and set the time frame to the previous year, you will find voluminous amounts of discussion on the issue.

If you are being asked to tip up front you are being scammed. Are you in Vegas by any chance?

For starters, stop using a damn credit card for hiring escorts.  This is a cash business.  Paper trails are dangerous and scams are all over the place. Secondly, get VIP and start reading the reviews here.  You are not going to find any positive reviews that start of with the words "she demanded that I tip her first".  You are wasting your time looking for advice here on TER if you do not take advantage of the single most important tool available to you-reviews!

All of that being said, tipping, real tipping as a reward for good service is always appreciated by the ladies but it is totally optional. Booking another appointment is always the best tip...

Wow, I didn't know that there was so much to know in this hobby that you cannot just jump into it. I'm a little concerned since I have already seen two escorts. Is there a way to know if I am being blacklisted? Since I don't know the hobby well, I may not get the best of reviews from the two I saw. I guess as a newbie I forgot to realize that escorts are skirting the law and always on the lookout for LE's. In addition, I didn't have any idea on how to act during a session such as leaving an envelope with the money in it and using a credit card is a bad idea. If only prostitution was legalized and nobody would have to hide behind the closet. It would be safer for the ladies and would reduce STD's. I better lay low for a while. What do I do if I am blacklisted by escorts? Is there a way to repair my reputation? Usually when you are blacklisted, you never get off the list.
