Now see, I felt special until I saw this. That scoundrel left me the same note. It appears Santa is like most men, in that he too enjoys variety.

I dont think that any provider demands a tip. I think that if a man chooses to give a tip in what ever way, it lets us know that he enjoyed himself. Like we have done a good job and he was very happy.

Now that was funny!

Maybe Santa Claus hobbies to. :-)

Providers deserve a tip because:

1. they actually saw you

2. they rocked your world

3. they did not kick you in the nuts and laugh their asses off at you.

Recall a provider who stated in a similar discussion regarding tips that she would not see a client again if he did not tip her. I couldn't understand why she just didn't increase her $300 hourly rate.

I believe that a tip is something that you give based on the service that you receive, just as with any other job in the service industry. However I also feel that is personal choice not an expectation.

Lalany, Based on your down to earth answer, your very cute and I and appreciate the honest reply to this thread.

Usually don't tip a lady whose rates are at the high end of the scale but do so sometimes for ladies who are at the low to midrange side and provide a good service.
I prefer to bring a bottle of an adult beverage for the lady to keep whether we use it or or not.

Hobbyfun · 08-04-2010, 07:15 AM

I used to give tips all the time but the last time the provider got mad.
We had a great session and it was over and I was about to leave so I decided I would give her a tip, as I was pulling up to her in call I noticed some dark clouds coming in so I told her to get her umbrella out and rain coat because it was going to rain, I thought that was a good tip but she didn't laugh.

No just kidding I thought a little humor would be nice.

Tips are customary for serving staff such as waiters and bartenders because much of their real income comes from tips. And their pay is designed to incentivize them to offer their guest a very enjoyable time.

As far as I can tell, provider rates are, ah, a bit higher than the rates you would normally see paid to a waiter/bartender. Going to see a provider, and paying the rates you pay, I think there already is an expectation of a very good time. Their fee has time and risk already factored into it.

However, that doesn't mean that if they provide service above and beyond your expectations that a tip would be out of order. But as with anyone who may earn tips, they should always be that - earned. I dislike the concept of automatic calculations of tips for larger parties that are charged by some establishments. I think most people are willing to tip service industry people when they do a good job.

MaxiMilyen · 08-04-2010, 08:18 AM

It's looking like most here are tippers, whether it's a waitress or a lady who goes above and beyond expectations.

It also looks like there are exceptions to the rule and some ladies do expect to be tipped...ummmm.....didn't realize that and I too wonder why they wouldn't just raise their rates. Most of us really do not expect a tip and yes it is always truly appreciated when it does happen. Personally, I think it happens more often than not, but that's just been my experience (even though I still never expect it) and I always try to ensure the gentlemen know how much it is appreciated.

@Krunkman, I agree time and risk are being factored into the rates we set for ourselves and yes, you should expect a very good time. Was just wondering if you had ever read reviews and went to see a lady and then discovered she exceeded the expectations of your research? If so, were you tempted to tip her at all? If no one ever exceeded your expectations, then I totally understand what appears to be your view about not tipping the ladies. Also, not sure how long you have hobbied, but if it hasn't happened to you yet, it probably will at some point, I'm almost certain! While I have no idea what your hobby budget is and what type of lady you choose to see, but if you have yet to have that "stellar" experience, (this is just a suggestion) ya might step outside the box of what you think is rocking your world and try a different type of lady...couldn't hurt. Best of luck!!!!

``Deserve'' is the wrong word. If your mileage varies significantly in a way you like, then a tip is a good way to indicate your appreciation to help ensure you get treated as well or better on future visits. If your tip doesn't make a difference, don't tip.
