Tipping $

[FoxMulder]

As with any good service, tipping is a way to say thanks. I have always wondered what's an average tip $ amount for good or great service? I'd like to open a thread to discuss this from both sides. I have only seen a VERY small amount of reviews mention the amount that person tipped the provider. We all know some providers deliver AMAZING service and should be rewarded with a tip. I'm just not sure how to figure out what amount. Any suggestions?

When someone makes up thier own price, and that price is the same as a doctor's fee. You dont need to tip. If you want thats fine but no need.

[FoxMulder]

I like the comparison to a doctors fee.

[Lena Duvall]

The comparison to doctors' compensation is irrelevant. Though, I do agree that tipping a companion is a considerate gesture that is not required. To me, there isn't necessarily a right or wrong amount. But if I had to choose a figure, I'd lean to an additional 5-20%.

If an escort charges a rate of $250, you have to think about if you want to be that dude who leaves some singles and quarters as a tip. Or an extra crisp Tubman (if ever they are printed).

What's the appropriate way to leave a tip? Obviously you wouldn't just want to hand it over.

Why wouldn't you do that?

I guess I shouldn't have said "obviously".
My hesitation to hand it directly to them comes from some providers having rules against handling them money. Just leave it in plain sight.
I'm guessing you feel that rule goes out the door once the action begins.

Yep. For independent girls a tip, if deserved, is called steady repeat business. Different story for agency girls...if you hit one of 'em in the hand with a Benji that will make her day.

A "tip" for me depends in orice point. If a girl is running a good special and the service is good I might leave a tip. If I am paying full price I am probably not going to tip.

I tip or bring a gift based on my mood that time and her presentation and service. It's like you Like something and you appreciate that. Women are gifted generally in my opinion and you nurture them in real life. In hobby I tried to show my utmost respect for them, even if the service is bad. If the service is bad I do not visit them again...

Based on my experience and perception not everyone is tipped...always....

Since its business therefore performance dictates service appreciation....

But I have been fortunate since I ..research as time permits..

Closing thoughts based on service...and if she is a mom ...I do....

In today's economy, $40-$60 is a good amount.

A tip is always a nice "thank you".....especially when a provider offers repeat friends special deals

I would think 30 to 50 is good.............never expected but always appreciated!

You are correct in that, if someone laid something down beforehand, it would likely make me nervous. However, every single time in 9 years that I have been tipped it has come at the end, and yes at that point I am more comfortable.

I call it the hobby slide. He's reaching down to grab his wallet/keys/sunglasses, etc and magically something extra discreetly drops from his hand onto my table. Nobody says anything about it but we both see it. I also always slip in an extra thank you at some point so they know I am appreciative of such a kind gesture.

That's very helpful information.
I appreciate it - Thanks

I personally do NOT like "my gift" handed directly too me. As I have a giant martini glass just for placing "my gifts" in.
I have always stated that Tips are much appreciated, but not required. But it does let me know when one does, that he TRULY appreciates my companionship.
But I would say in general from my 7 years experience as a Provider is either an extra 20 on up to $
