In almost every business of service tipping is a form of appreciation.Unless I am wrong, in this business gentlemen seems to forget to realize that the same aspect is applicable to providers.

...tipping appreciated, never expected.

tips are for employees. Employers and business owners don't get tips, since they get the profits. In your business, you set the price, the "tip" is if your service is good, you'll earn a repeat customer.

But Usually I end up tipping at the end also.

Unless the waitress doesn't pay enough attention to my coffee cup.  Or the bacon comes floppy (I like it crisp and always order it that way).

.and then it became expected. I stopped. Then I saw some girls who deserved a tip........but alas, the past haunted me.

I've given coin, books, cards, repeat visits, tuition, apt expenses, jewelry.........oh hell stop me por favor

Recently a gentleman tipped me 30%, its was a FIRST for me from this board...

So let's see...if you worked a full 40 hour week (for a year) at your asking price (AD ALERT) of $ 1k (which I doubt you get all that often...but we'll pretend it's set in stone for this exercise)...you'd gross $ 2M a year.

The kindness of tipping and the 30% was a FIRST for me and thats why it caught my attention. I don't understand why you are comparing a simple form of appreciation that is never expected to "Income Levels" and why my rate is a reference point.  

Thank you to the GREATEST TER TIPPER.

So it's a good thing I don't count on gratuities or I'd be broke.

Unless I am wrong, in this business gentlemen seems to forget to realize that the same aspect is applicable to providers."

In a question I would ask, In this business is tipping a normal thing to do and why is it rare. As in any act of service?  

Tipping, to me, depends on the experience and if I seen the lady before. If it is a first time visit, I rarely tip. Any visit after that I typically know what to expect and tip accordingly.

I don't tip my regular, I buy her presents.  She'd probably like the money more, but that's too impersonal.  I know she's not my girl friend in RL, but I want to do something for her that she might not do for herself since she consistently puts up with me, seemingly happily.

I don't tip my therapist. Nor most professionals I come in contact with.  

I thought tips were already factored in when setting the rates?
I mean, we (hobbyists) aren't supposed to be discussing rates before, during and after the date.  

When I feel like the lady in question has provided service which is outside the parameters of what I've been led to expect, then acknowledgement is A Good Thing. (e.g., I saw a "sensual massage" gal, and she very quickly moved us into the FS realm--I guess she wants to vet her clients f2f before offering more--naturally I gave her more than the "rack" rate.  Or it could just be that we've gone past our allotted time--or something, whatever)

Gifts on the other hand, are another matter.  And when it comes to those, I put a lot of thought into the matter before I give them.  I rarely just "check the box" on the Amazon Wish List.  When I do give a gift, it's usually highly personalized and specific to whatever chemistry we personally have.

You do make a comment in your OP ( as was pointed out ) " In almost every business of service tipping is a form of appreciation.Unless I am wrong, in this business gentlemen seems to forget to realize that the same aspect is applicable to providers. "

About tipping them too far because they might fall over.

I seriously find the concept of tipping anyone who is making serious change just a bizarre concept.  Now in my subject line I'm excluding hooking as a profession since it doesn't require any skills as far as CPE or licensure.  But many gals here make considerably more (without figuring in tips) than many of the johns who see them (yep...that's the fact ma'am).

HAHAHA They may tip over and capsize!

Believe it or not some of the dudes here see behind the scenes.  Some of us have a very good understanding of the financial ramifications of this gig.  If you want to suggest that you're NOT really pulling in $ 2M a year...I'm shocked.  Hell...I did the math and it seems like that is the number YOU should be at.  Oh wait a moment...I forgot to add in the discount factor on the $ 1k/hr gal(s).  Yep...now I see what the issue really is.

If you work for a shoe company and get free shoes, I wear a 6.5.

You starting this thread makes it sound like you "expect" tips. Really? At a thousand per hour, you expect a tip on top? Wow!

Gals who get this gig understand who is paying the bill...and why.  But they also set those rates to make sure that it works for them on whatever level they need it to work.

" Married, or single, lonely or happy, a hobbysit or not....what would you do without providers.. "

Isn't like other service businesses ....so you want your rate and 15% to20%...! Get real ...however due to the human nature of sex a gift ? Sure ...

If I had to pick one? I'll take the cash. Flowers and jewelry don't pay the bills.  

I've only tipped just a handful of providers with real money. If she went above and beyond my expectations or if she spent too much OTC time with me and couldn't make anything that day, then I might tip her so that her income isn't completely cut off while hanging out with me.  

IMO, girls need to ask themselves how long the tipping would continue before the guy becomes tired of banging the same girl and finds an equally hot girl charging much less and isn't spoiled.  Thus I would only tip when the scale balances somewhat, when the girl puts in a lot for me as well

A grand an hour. Huh. I'm sure she's special but is she 'EC special?' Doubt it.  

lol

Give more refills on coffee.

He saw her for 2 hours according to the review. So if she is saying he gave her a 30% tip, that's 6 bills for a total of 2600.
Nice job WickedBrut!

been tipped up to 100% of my $1k rate (yep, that means a $1k tip), I'd never question or request someone tip me based on every other business of service. Let's get real…though it's a nice gesture, the same aspect is not applicable to escorts…we make far more than other businesses of service to act as if we require a tip. lol

and I'm hoping no one disagrees, but WTH...

Asking something like this or bringing it up at all here on this board, is well um, not the best place to do it unless you want to get some of the responses you are getting.

These guys are a colorful bunch for sure but it's kinda like going into a sports bar or pub and asking about a gluten free menu or for the tables with the white linen table clothes -LMAO. These guys here want to have FUN and have it at what they feel is a fair donation and FORGET the rest. Some here may tip, I'm betting a few do or book some fun multi- multi hour dates that include some time "out", but it's their business and they DO NOT want to talk about it or hear from a lady about these random acts of "kindness"(?). I thought a random act of kindness was more like helping out a person in need or paying it forward.

And oh, if you are a HDH you will get it even worse, lol.

I gotten tips and those gentlemen do have my attention and I will move heaven and earth for some of them. Just like in any service business good tippers tip more because they feel you knocked it outta the park in some way. AND they also know you will remember them. I tip the shit out of my nail tech because she VERY good, gives one hell of a hand and foot massage, works me in last minute is always in a happy mood when I see her ANd she has to split the base cost with the salon. I tip her in cash so she doesn't have to wait til her next paycheck to see it. Same whenever I'm paying for lunch or dinner. Women are known in the hospitality industry to be bad tippers. Not me, nope. But as you probably know they don't even have to be paid minimum wage by their employer.

You've gotten some honest answers here some kinda brutal ones too and I'm betting some guy lurkers who know better than say much about tipping here. The term mangina get used here a lot, lol.

I think you lost some at "should you tip"?

Just my 2 cents though..

xoxo,

Steph

BTW I want your LIPS and smile!

And appears to be VERY pretty in a very naturally classic young way. There are other ladies doing it well and Ms Cole got her pretty arse handed to her a few times here. But she could and did walk the walk. And I'm sure her upkeep beauty wise was something else. One thing she was...was smart and seem to invest well for the future.

I knew this young lady was going to get in some hot water with the "should you tip" thing. It does have some implications. Even big spenders with a taste for the very best here don't like to feel any sort of pinch in the wallet, then it's just not fun anymore.

But I could be wrong as Dennis Miller use to say at the end of his weekly rants on HBO in the 90's on Dennis Miller Live.

Money will always be a topic here that can go terribly wrong.

ChgoCPA I dont get this, unless i am just simply stupid, are we fighting? Are you angry?

Well said ps!! I too have tipped, both cash and other valuables, but only to women that have gone way above an "average" session. Or to a few that I have seen many times and the relationship has evolved into something quite different.
                                             Regards.....RR

You lost me? why are we fighting?

We exist because of you, if we never existed you wouldnt exist..  

I tip when a tip deserved
When I am happy with the time I have spent with a beautiful lady I always tip
Maybe I am a little old school but I always tip when I am happy, even when the piizza delivery guy shows up early lol

I rarely get tipped and i never expect it. This was a first for me..  

And I hope so do you... I don't get You..

My rate is good enough

Whatever happened to: To Insure Promptness?

Or maybe not...

And again I don't get you, I lack the best words to respond to this..

 So when I see this drivel...especially coming from a hooker asking for $ 1k minimum it's fucking hysterical that any john would think that a "tip" for doing what she advertised to do is of importance.  And honestly...I've been in public practice for quite a few years and have never thought of asking (as you appear to have...given your propensity to post this) a client to pay me more than my stated rates.  And none has...nor ever will...pay a tip.  It's simply asinine to even think along those lines.  That's what professionals do...or at least the one's I know.  
   
 But since a few (as in a very small minority) of the hookers seem to think that tips are part of this gig...I guess they're underselling themselves with their rate quotes.    
   
 So...which restaurant are you serving at?  I love to tip gals who are single mom's working at near (or under) minimum wage living on tips from customers.  That wouldn't include you as a hooker...but as a waitperson I would gladly leave a nice tip (as I said...20-25% of the check).  
   
 Are you suggesting that your published rate is too high?  And that you work no where near 40 hours a week?  And that you're light years from $ 2M in income?  I suspect the answers to all those is a resounding YES.  Here's a tip...no charge for it either..adjust your rates so that you get enough johns to see you and you can have your rent(s) paid on time for a change.  It's what the smart gals do.  
   
 See you soon...and remember to keep my coffee hot

  I was quite surprised because it rarely happens..

The session is meant to be a place where pleasure and goodness is shared, given and received. If a gentleman elects to donate a little extra it should be taken as part of this giving to make the provider happy. Men enjoy making women happy, giving them pleasure, ESPECIALLY when pleasure is given them in return.

That's good to know if we ever meet.

When the service has been good, I've left a tip. It makes me feel good. If the provider wants more money, though, she should just raise her rates.

And a uniquely American tradition.  If you research tipping there's a nice debate going on right now with some restauranteurs starting to end the custom.

First of all, you really should of thought before making such a thread here when there are trolls on here who have nothing better to do then hate on providers. At the rate you charge why are you so elated about being tipped? I get tipped a lot plus I get expensive gifts and trips. I keep all that to myself because it is no ones business but mines. The only time I would really bother to post is if a troll is hating then I will hand them their ass on a silver platter. Also, don't mention anything about sugar daddies or other b.s. It's tacky and you are only wasting your time. Post only when necessary and other posts put on the provider's board. As far as those comparing her to EC, she is her own person therefor she doesn't have to be nor should she be like her.

I'm sure my accountant would also not be insulted if I gave him extra money.

And I take that aspect very seriously as people in the service industry, especially with people who work hard, are good at what they do and go above and beyond...simply deserve to be compensated well. I will never understand those who calculate 'exactly' 20% or less on a dining bill and I will look at them usually like they have a third eye...I'm like really? These people work hard and have families to take care of, fork it out lol. And yes, in the real world, that usually tells me a lot about the person whether he/she is a giver or taker. I tip according to what I feel they deserve, not what is meant to be calculated in most cases.  

Flower delivery , etc ....one does not charge a fee and deserve a tip ! And tipping for sex is tacky and cheap ! An insult ..I'd never tip a woman for sex , and if she really wanted it I would look at her differently ! Get a job Zoe ....

I said I meant no disrespect. It's just laughable to me a grand an hour gal need not worry about tips. She's no EC I can guarantee you that. What does "getting her pretty arse handed to her" (EC)have to do with tipping?" And I'd disagree on that. She dished back better than she got. Easily. The few guys here who tried to get her goat not so secretly wondered what the EC hoopla was all about. I can assure you EC was 'all that' and much much more.

I give them the shaft. And I give them the tip multiple times throughout the session. You are right, I do feel great about it when I leave.

She goes from saying it's not expected to saying "We wish more hobbyists were more like the one who tipped" lol. If at her rate she is in need of tips, she is either not working as much as she claims or is living beyond her means with no other income. Well, the last part we know because she admitted to not haviing a real job in her last threAD.
