What do you consider a fair tip?

[doubletimeisago]

Hi folks,

 

I apologize if this is a topic that's been asked to death and back (I tried searching for "tip" in the forums, but I got an error message saying that the search string was too short), but I'm fairly new to the whole scene, and I'm trying to be good and conscientious about adequate compensation for my providers. How much do you tip after a session? Do you think it makes a difference whether you're seeing a regular companion or a one-off provider? Appreciate any thoughts, thanks!

I give my guys more than just the tip.

 

(Couldn’t resist. Apologies. I’m here all week.) ?

A fair tip is about 1/t the length of the entire penis As far as monetary rewards, anything you wish to give above and beyond an already significant rate should be graciously accepted by the escort as it is totally unnecessary.

Tips and rates...the perennial favorite topics!

Haha, yeah, I figured this must be something that gets asked a lot. But hey, it can't hurt to ask again though, since it just encourages best practices.

I tend to either really like an escort (20% tip) or not (zero tip).

 

I don’t feel obliged to tip people who are in business for themselves,

but I still do if I really like you. It just seems polite, and it encourages

good behavior.

 

In addition, if you’re a zero I know I’ll never be seeing you again, so

why exactly would I be laying out extra cash on top of an already

failed meeting?

 

An escort recently hit me up pretty hard for a tip, in the middle of

having sex. I politely responded that ”tips are EARNED, not given”.

He laughed. Took the challenge. And earned his tip like a pro.

Exactly. I generously tip wait staff, delivery men, repairmen, etc. because they’re working for someone else. Providers are earning and keeping 100% of a substantial fee for time spent.

 

I’ve just gotten into this hobby and I plan on seeing one provider I’ve met regularly who is a gem and makes me happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy him a small gift (sexy underwear or a bottle of his favorite cologne) to show my appreciation and affection. Plus, I think buying an actual gift shows much more thought than sticking extra cash in an envelope.

I usually give gift cards to the providers' favorite grocery stores as a tip.....that way they fondly remember me when the meet is over......and are reminded of me again a few days later when they use the card.......(yeah, it's all about me )

If I'm spending $200-400/hour or $1k-2k for an overnight, hell yes, you better believe it's all about me Me ME! Without apology.

[doubletimeisago]

Thanks! I appreciate hearing from everyone who took the time to reply, especially providers. It gives me a good sense of how to acknowledge excellent service (especially with the one provider I'm hoping to see again in the future!).

I've always tipped, but as a suggestion, keep tip money separate. A couple of years ago, I met someone new who charged $5 a minute for our 90 minutes. Thought it would be a great experience, so put $500 in an envelope before arrival. After, I thought the tip was too much based on the experience, but didn't want to take money out of the envelope in front of him.

As some have already mentioned, tips are not expected when the pre-arranged compensation for time is already established.

That said, there will be some clients who do tip.

Some have nerded out with me and sent me random BTC after the appointment which I find is cute, some will hide the tip and get a kick out of me finding it later and messaging them about it (also pretty cute) and some will get me Teuscher champagne truffles, no currency exchanged!

Bottom line is that we all have a threshold for what is reasonably expected beyond agreed upon compensation, if anything. However for me as a provider, the baseline is ensuring that time spent is enjoyable. Anything given beyond that is not expected nor required.

[LGatton]

I was going to start a new thread for this but I figure it would be better to just use this one.

 

I know most of the providers don't expect a tip but when you do, do you prefer cash or more personalized gifts? Also, what's the best, weirdest, or most suprising extra gift you have ever gotten?

[AshburyGuy]

If someone charges 250 for an hour and I've had a really good time, I usually leave 300, which is what I've imposed on myself as a threshold for hiring (of course, there are exceptions). If I hire someone at 300 and I've had an exceptionally good time, I leave 350.

I’m an infrequent client, and not a regular for any one provider...variety, spice, etc... I tend to let the generosity of my tip reflect the generosity of the provider whether body mind or heart. I’m not an ogre, but time has relegated my hotness to the rear view mirror. So, if the hire has lived up to ad AND makes me feel like I turned him on, he’s getting at least 15%. It goes up for excellent hosting, a safe space, an eye not obsessed with phone or clock, and for special skills (which can be interpreted in as many ways as there are providers...)

Most I ever tipped was 120% - his massage and other skills were superb, set-up and service like a spa, and his rate sorta too low, I thought, for what he did to exceed my expectations. Good communication before and during, a good sense of humor, and great eye contact. I would never tip that much in a barber/salon, or a restaurant or driver. It always makes you more welcome when you return, sure. As I thank him, I try to point out why I’m being generous, so he knows how the extras improve the experience. Even if it’s a one-off, we both part better off than before.

Cash is King.

[EastMidsDaddy]

I will often tip if it's good service otherwise I will just pay the rate. If I repeat I will often buy a gift like versace underwear etc. BUT if the escort asks for the money up front I will NOT tip whether the service was good or bad... but tbh most times when I have had to pay upfront the service was mediocre at best!

[Guest davebk]

I usually keep the full amount in one pocket ready to hand over. I typically keep another 40-50 in the other pocket in the event something extraordinary happens. I think I've only handed it over twice. Usually I pay the very fair rate with no tip.

[+ GregM]

Seriously though, your probably paying 200$ + per hour. That's a chunk of cash for an hour or two. I never expect or ask for a tip. I'm just about over this tipping culture. Unless one is doing something WAY ANOVE AND BEYOND along with causing the earth to spin the other way they dont need to be tipped.

 

Hugs,

Greg

I rarely tip. It's not like these guys have a job where someone else sets their salary and may depend on tips. They can ask whatever rate they want.

[LaffingBear]

When I was in college, after bad service, a buddy left a waitress a penny.

 

When she brazenly complained, he responded. "You want a better tip? Don't use your dildo in the bathtub!"

 

To this day, I can't decide if I should have laughed, or should have been mortified.

 

But in hindsight, for a server bold enough to complain about a gratuity, perhaps it was a fair tip.

I think a better tip would be "Don't use your vibrator in the bathtub."
