There are times when you meet someone and have such an amazing, wonderful time with them that you want to give them something back, and tipping is a convenient way to do it. That's a situation where you are motivated by absolutely nothing but a human, emotional, desire to make the other person happy and their life better. This thread is not about those cases.

The people who told you it was like a dentist or doctor were right. The reason restaurant workers are tipped is because they are low paid and rely on tips to make their living. The only time I can think of tipping escorts is if the session went way over because you had ED problems or took forever to come.  

I am one who believes repeating is biggest tip.
Girl knows she free from any harm when I return & in for a nice time as well.

I never expect a tip, but you can be sure that my regulars who do tip get priority booking over those who don't (especially over new-to-me clients I haven't yet seen). I recently booked an overnight with a repeat client who had seen me at my lower rates when I was in Seattle (he was grandfathered in at $1,500 for the overnight, though he had paid me $2,000 last time because it was my birthday weekend). He ended up having to cancel because he got sick, and he sent me $2,000 as payment in full, even though we never met up. That allowed me to pay off ALL of my credit card debt that I had racked up from college tuition. You can bet I would bend over backwards for this man, and that when we do see each other, I am even more on top of my game than I normally am, and I will often make a special run to a sex toy shop and invest a few $$$ just for him. You can also bet that I don't care if we go two hours over our time, because he always books overnights or longer, and he's tipping me hundreds of dollars anyways. He's not flamboyantly wealthy, he's just a normal guy who wants to make sure he's treated well by the women he sees. He sure is treated well.  

Mind = Blown.  

90% of my hobbying is with agency Asian girls, with the standard rates of 250/LA or 260/OC. Even if I'm seeing a new girl, I always have 300 in the envelope.  If she checks at the start, she knows I am having faith in her abilities and she reciprocates by giving me her best.  If she checks it at the end of the session, she knows I already had the tip in the envelope on spec, and she will go all out the next session if I repeat.  I will tip more with my regulars with whom I have built a connection in addition to remembering them on birthdays and at Christmastime.  I have never asked for a provider's phone number, but have had nearly all of them ask for mine, which I don't have a problem giving if I believe they are not stalker-ish or are not going to be a pain in the ass texting all day.  If I think they're a little crazy, I just give an email address.

Yes I have gotten a tip of that size before. It definitely isn't common, but it does happen.  

The only time I ever tip is when I go way way over time. And sometimes I bring a gift if the provider has a gift page on her web site, nothing extravagant

With one exception, I never tip. And since the rates have risen so much recently, not only am I still not tipping, I'm partying less and less. Would the ladies rather have a tip, or a party? Even though I've never tipped, I do bring gifts sometimes, to the ladies who really connect with me.  

No tipping for me.
Return business
is my form of tipping.

I give very rarely.
I chose to see that girl over the 75 other ones I could have.
That's the tip

So many of you don't tip.  No wonder I'm so popular and get treated so well. by both the girls and their bookers.  Actually kind of disappointing, though.  I always thought it was because I was good in bed.  LOL

Repeat business, reviews, and word of mouth will reward your favorite provider exponentially more than a 1 time $50-100 tip.

I can't agree with being happy when you bump another customer. It's in bad taste.

The guy cancelled an overnight last minute. I doubt that kind of arrangement can be filled in last minute. It was not so much of a tip as much as paying for the time slot which was allocated for him.

The point is to be known as a tipper to the booker.  That is the goal here.  The girls come and go, but the booker for the org is the same, so if the booker knows you give the girls a little something extra, he will treat you better AND GIVE YOU PRIORITY just like the girls will.  As I said earlier, I know for a fact that bookers have "bumped" other hobbyists out of an existing appointment to get me the time I needed.  For that, its worth a $50 tip for me every time I see someone.  It's a matter of which is worth more to you, that it be on your schedule, or the $50?   You can rationalize no-tipping all you want, but its a business, and cash talks.  Many bookers will tell you . . . . forget about bringing flowers, candy or some take out food.  THE GIRLS WOULD RATHER HAVE THE EXTRA CASH.  Of course, the girls are going to ACT appreciative about the styrofoam container with the limp French fries, especially if you are a regular, but that's not why they are in this business. They do it for the money.  DUH !  For me, the only way I can keep up my high-volume hobbying, is to see girls that the booker will make available to me on MY schedule, not theirs.  The tip accomplishes that.  I know I am in the minority, and I like it that way.  If everyone was tipping, I would have to tip more than I am already to get priority with the bookers.  LOL

I think you are the minority as much because you are seeing agency girls, probably Kgirls, while I think a lot of this board is mostly seeing independents. Nothing wrong with either, but it's a different set of circumstances.

Agencies take 33-50% of the girl's gross profits. An Indie keeps all the profit. It's not a valid comparison.

That's correct.  My hobbying is about 90% Asian agency girls.  They are busier, so the grease for easier scheduling is important to me.  Independents are must easier to schedule with, and usually have a higher fee schedule, so I would agree that tipping may not be needed to get the same level of service, but I would do it anyway just to be consistent with myself.  lol

Doctor/dentist is not a valid comparison.  They are never tipped.  A provider is more like your barber/hair stylist, masseur/masseuse, or manicurist, providing a personal (in this case, very personal) service.  Any of these professions will bump you for a good tipping customer as well.  They don't take a medical ethics pledge and neither do your providers, so its apples and oranges.  Its not personal, its business, so good or bad taste doesn't have anything to do with it unless you are in love with the girl and the guy who bumped you knows it.  There's always a provider somewhere that is available on short notice for the guy that got bumped, or he always has the option of joining the fraternity of tippers so that he gets priority as well, or else waiting until the tipping customers are all finished and they start with the appointments for the non-tippers. We all CHOOSE our place in the hierarchy of customers, no one forces us to tip or not tip.  

I can think of a few girls whose POs were known for bumping hobbyists for VIPs. Let's just say that their business decreased over time as the VIPs moved on after the non-VIPs got tired of the BS.

I do tip, but only when they go above and beyond what I expect is normal.
