I’m sure this discussion has been had before, but I haven’t seen it and I’m hoping that some might appreciate the advice. What is protocol on tipping an Indy provider, especially one that is upscale?  With an agency girl, you know that she forks over a chunk to the agency, so I feel that I really should tip. For an Indy, they don’t have the “management fee”, but all of their expenses are their own, from hotels to advertising. Yet, as a provider moves up the ladder, the price of entry increases, so tipping on that can get cost prohibitive.  Now, I don’t want to come across as “cheap”, but as you get closer to $$$$ for 90 minutes, it makes one pause. While I’m not poor by any stretch, I’m also not one of the Whales that swim in these waters. I would love to hear what the ladies really think. Use an alias.

Most gals will say that it does not matter (excepting Smartie), but you'd have to think it does - however to what degree is debatable.

...but I do bring gifts. I usually have some conversation (email or phone) with a potential playmate before we meet, as I'm a few hours away from a decent selection pool, i.e., the Big City. So it takes a while for me to arrange time away to play and it gives me the opportunity to research, plan and communicate with a provider.

I wish more providers would post under aliases because I like to get more honest views.  It just seems that any provider posting under her professional handle has to say certain things just because of the implications it has for PR and business.

Specially high end once.  They set their prices, so do not worry about their expenses.

I also rarely tip the indy upscale type of providers who are the focus of the OP.  But like you I usually bring some kind of gift, such as a libation or flowers (only if I'm certain she likes flowers) or toy etc.  And I typically "round up" on fees, eg if her rate for our session is 375 I'll round up to 400.  I guess that could be considered a tip, but it's really just laziness on my part about getting correct change. 😎  And, good thinking on her part to set the rate at 375--sounds a lot less than 400 and I bet a lot of clients round up.

give generous tips to a waitress/waiter, church or local charity.  That said, a repeat visit is one of the best tips. So they've told me.

I've tipped the few touring agency girls and one touring independent who I thought was undercharging for the service she rendered -- compared to the local average.  I haven't tipped locals because they're usually operating out of long term rental properties and are spending less of a hourly percentage on that major outlay -- or so I theorize.

too...
For an independent lady, I too prefer to bring a gift.  I peruse her site and likes and may bring something she likes.  For "regular" ladies, I bring items that she enjoys.  Organic, specialty coffee for one lady; scotch/whiskey for my ATF; pineapple juice (for me) for a special kinky, naughty lady...
Cash is good, but I believe that a special gift is more appreciated.

Or those that are generoud as hell.

Dude...do you... because we are not ones tipping.

What Lisa said.
I make return visits and good reviews.  
I'm a serial repeater. My favorite providers don't seem to be unhappy with my donation and my repetitive nature.

Even  the best provider deserves a Tip for Satisfaction Guaranteed and Proves it!! For a job well done.  So there.. 👅💃💋💋

Always feels good to get a cash tip but I do think there is something quite special in the thoughtfulness and preparation or little bit of chit chat to figure out a nice gift to bring.  Sessions that start with a surprise gift whether that be some champagne, some lingerie, a toy, or whatever else is always a good start - thoughtful people & happy moods = sexier sessions!

repeat visit. Also, I good honest review helps their biz.

Me, I don't tip.  I don't pay your Uber, I don't buy you dinner and I NEVER pay a deposit.  And I would never book anyone who wrote a post like this.  Way to get yourself on numerous DNS lists.

Tipping, gifts, flowers, repeat visits, sharing a bottle of veuve clicquot can show a bit of your personality as well as make a girl smile. Nothing wrong with being thoughtful and letting her know you enjoyed your time. It’s not expected. Always nice to get.

how much is a good tip?? let's say I saw her for two hours for $1200 roses..

some locals only see one person a day (like me)... so cost of location is way higher than a girl on tour that have couple appts a day.  

Your My kind of  
Man....😏👒👠

IMO.Tip whatever you are comfortable with.I receive tips often and I am very much appreciative whether it is an extra 20 or 100+.As others have said tips are not required but it is great whenever it happens.
Whether it is cash,gift card,or something that she likes off of her website or wishlist I am sure she will appreciate it.

The experienced mongers I've hung out with there have never mentioned it either.

A repeat visit is THE best tip! I get tips and gifts pretty often but it's definitely not expected. I'd rather the gentlemen come back to see me. Actually, tipping those less fortunate is the way to go!  
I DO however, expect him to fuck my brains out! Lol  
XOXO

I'm an honest a silly young individual. I'm only working for the next two months, so those who have me on the DNS list are missing out on a wonderfully humorous experience.  

I haven't been seeing escorts long enough to develop a regular. Sometimes I end up paying a little more because the girl has an odd number donation rate when I typically just pay in 20 dollar bills, so she might end up with an extra $10 because I don't feel like breaking a 20.  

She was honest , lets not beat her up for that.

If they do not accomplish that is a tip needed?   LOL

on the new baby!!!

Now that you are back from retirement...you better believe it!

This coming from a provider who was recently busted, even admitting so on social media, and hates this place with a passion. BEWARE!

First, to say it's "Customary to tip" I wouldn't go that far. I've been going steady for years and I have never tip'd. Clients and friends that I have gone with have never tip. And up to now it hasn't hurt me..( well maybe now it will). But I'm sure, the high rollers that spend 4k for an overnighter, or that spending 1k per hour, I can see them tipping.
But the average schmuck, probably doesn't tip.
But like someone said, return visits are very much appreciated and maybe work as well as a tip.

but OTOH, can you imagine if EVERY guy brought flowers to a girl "on tour" who is seeing several guys a day?  Try explaining to housekeeping why you have a dozen floral arrangements in your room after a three day stay, not to mention the reaction of the clients who enter her hotel room bringing flowers only to find a dozen different arrangements all bigger and better than the one he brought. lol

And to leave several wilted bouquets behind in the room ... as gifts for the housekeeping staff?

This is las Vegas,  anything goes, where people  celebrate Birthdays anniversarys Weddings. .you name it...So yes Bring Flowers, candy,  perfume..its ok..Be Brave heart 👄👄

I am always on the hunt for special and unique gift items. Often the lady will unknowingly give you a lead on something she needs that is inexpensive. I only select items that will likely be kept forever. Often the items are not available in her area.

....... is by being a demanding and poor tipping dick on a dinner date with your heaux of choice.  Nothing turns any woman off more than a self righteous prick , treating wait staff like shit and embarrassing his date by being a cheap bastard before BCD fun.

Let's say a first timer made plans a visit you a few days out, you agreed to see him at 5pm. At the day of your appointment, tipper calls and want to see you at 5pm. Now we know who'll you'll see, but how do you tell newbie that's he's been "Cancel" on? Do you NCNS, grandmother passed, car problems or are you just flat out honest, tell him a regular came and he's numero ono.....be honest now, you're under an alias so no one will know.

And I don’t tip. Besides yourself, who says it’s customary to tip in Vegas.

No one is going to blink an eye if a provider is carrying flowers.I had a gent once give me a beautiful huge bouquet of roses.I carried it right through the hotel to valet.lol
But I can see that being an issue if a provider is in a city where the hotel is not crowded like the vegas hotels are.

Doesn't mean i dont have to utilize it. I dislike this site, yes. However, i feel obligated to use it for these last 2 months.

Ive had too many waste my time. Deposit is mandatory, if nothing else.

Especially since there are so many legitimate things to beat her up about.

Why would you think that someone who just made 1200 in 2 hours would deserve a tip on top of that? 🤦‍♂️

-- Modified on 11/12/2017 4:54:35 PM

Your deposit policy might have something to do with that.

If it takes me a whole day to earn what I end up paying a hooker for 1 hour of her time, why would I tip her on top of that? She is not a waitress making minimum wage or less.  

Oh my kind of ladie..lol

After checking in, walking through the casino with flowers and balloons (it's an outcall for that night) I do get "cute" comment from the receptionist, and from lady visitors who I just happen to pass by.
And when I pass a couple the woman will ALWAYS smile at me while her partners gives me a nasty stare down, like "You mother fucker"....lol
Wow, I just thought of this...Flowers, balloons, Lingerie that she models for me...dam I do tip!

Please

Does he still owe you a pair of expensive shoes on that lost bet?

and I guaranfuckingtee you I didn't put out either. lmao

For one thing, every paid date does not take place in a hotel. Only two of my paid dates have taken place in a hotel.

and one that could be heavily debated on who deserves a tip more. I totally understand why clients tip agencies girls but clients that don't tip independents on the assumption that they make more money have no idea on overhead costs and how much time is spent dealing with time wasters. But to go back to the original question, by far any client that tips and the more you tip is usually going to take priority with bookings but i take a lot into consideration with what i consider a tip. For me a tip isn't just an extra donation, it can be that or it can be you bringing me gifts as small as chocolates to much more than that. But also just because you're a great tipper that doesn't automatically make you an ATF, I had one client who was a great tipper but wasn't someone I would bend over backwards for to accommodate. I like to to keep things simple and whoever books me first is who gets the date regardless of who tips and who does not tip, although if both tipper and non tipper happen to send a date request at the same time then tipper is obviously getting the date. But with all that being said i only have about 5 steady clients that tip me in donations, the rest usually just bring something extra so for me it's all about who i enjoy spending time with the most.

I dont think it raises eyebrows anywhere. Silly.

Not whining, curiously questioning. My personality clearly is being miscomprehended through text.  

There goes the "pimp" word again. Maybe you don't realize how absolutley broke my man is 😂  

and you know damn well Jake didn't put out either.  The ladies above are also correct in saying I took them out to dinner.  And that neither of them "put out." But I also did not pay them for their time, nor did they ask or expect me to.  What many here fail to comprehend is that some of us can just be friends.
As for the other lady, I think she's revealed herself rather well on this thread and potential suitors can decide for themselves if they wish to patronize such a person. Personally, I tend to avoid women like her, especially when they admit publicly that they've been arrested.

See, now I'm a tad jealous lol. Secondly, I'll admit to whatever i please. I'm sure plenty of women got arrested before, and its public info. Anyone could have figured it out lol. I think im the least discreet provider i know. Until i actually show up, then its like... "Wait, i thought you were crazy- you're actually a tad reserved" yep.

For one Happy Meal. LOL

You can pay pal me something and ill use it for uber eats 😍😍😍 lmao!

It's called the "Unhappy Meal." It is intended for bad children.  It includes a cold hamburger with no ketchup, cold, wilted fries and a broken toy.
You're welcome.

Hey Jake are we going to make up and become friends? You were the one and only to welcome me to DC on this site. Now that I’ve discovered youre a good dinner date I’m intrigued

But you get points for being a good sport so perhaps there's an upgrade in your future from Unhappy Meal to Happy Meal.  I'm not in DC, however.  I'm a NY denizen, though at the moment I'm at one of Atlantic City's finest hotel/casinos.
