    Dizzy No Tipping Thread?

    I couldn't find a thread related to tipping for escort work on stripperweb.

    At the risk of getting rocks thrown or finding myself on the low end of the tipping scale, I'll start with my own tipping practices. Rates in my area for 1 hr are in the $300 range. I typically book 1 hr, sometimes 2hr if I'm wanting to lay about during the day. My standard is to tip $50 additional per hour and then I usually carry an extra $50 if I'm leaving in a particularly happy mood. So for an average 1hr $300 appointment I just leave $350 when I come in the door and then I might leave the other $50 as I'm walking out the door. Hardly extravagant, but I think a meaningful amount either way. The additional amount usually has more to do with the quality of the conversation, but sometimes service makes me feel like a kid that just got an unexpected Christmas so I'm giddy and leave more. I'm just glad I can still get giddy about something so simple. As mentioned elsewhere, I typically fan the money on the table so the provider doesn't have to touch it in order to count it, just a best practice for clients that needs wider acknowledgement.

    I'm sure there are some wildly outrageous tippers, but what does everyone typically see for an average appointment? Is tipping talk for some reason taboo? I've seen a million threads on tipping for other services, strange I couldn't find one for escorting.

    It really depends. I'd say I get tipped 50% of the time for escort services, and the amount varies widely. I have some guys who regularly tip $200 on top of a 3 hour appointment and some who regularly book an hour and don't tip a dollar over. Some people will nonchalantly throw in an extra 50-100, and some will say "Oh, you went out of your way, here's some extra" and hand me a whole extra 20... lol In general, I don't assume tips are forthcoming. If they went overtime, I expect to be reasonably compensated, but they should know that; if they wanted me to travel, I expect to be compensated, but we would have discussed that; if they want something especially different, I might expect different compensation, but we would have discussed that.

    I'm always very grateful for tips, but in general, my prices or anything special on top of the regular price, are what I need to feel properly compensated for my time and whatever I went out of my way for. I know I can't expect guys to tip, so I don't even think about it. If it happens, it's great. But, like I said, at least 50% are meticulous about exact change, and that's fine too. I do remember great tippers, and I'll probably step up my game a bit for them in the future. For instance, if a guy was a little awkward or wanted me to drive a bit, I'll be far more willing to go out of my way to deal with him in the future if I know he's a good tipper. But I'm not out to necessarily "punish" guys who don't tip - I just might be more picky about if I'm in the mood to see them if it means going out of my way or doing something slightly more annoying that particular day.

    I think when it comes to escorting, most charge high enough that tipping isn't seen as "required" as much as it might be when you're paying less in bulk. And many guys feel they already pay enough, while others are very generous for a good time. That may be why you don't see much talk about it. There doesn't seem to be any sort of industry standard, especially with prices themselves so different in many places.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    I prefer to be tipped in gifts. Cold hard cash is fabulous, but I *love* it when the fella takes the extra time and energy to surprise me with a special little trinket. Makes me feel special!

    Every provider I've met is special, if you ask me you're doing the work of the angels. There was an a-hole running around my town when I started that was gifting fake upscale sunglasses, trying to barter for services, and then escalated to aggressive behaviors. Gifters were a bit suspect in my town for awhile. Reading about him over the many months it took them to blackball him imprinted on me negatively towards gift giving and I felt better gifting cash, no weird connotations about cash and I know it'll go to something the escort needs or wants. But it doesn't mean I don't think providers aren't special people.

    As an escort I never asked for tips but they were always appreciated. They are definitely a "credit" to the client for future reference...

    Re: gifts, I'm not a big fan. I'd rather just get extra cash to put toward something I really need or want. I'm trying to declutter my life, and gifts generally are just things I don't need. I have one regular who brings me a huge bag of gifts every time as his "tip," and I'm honestly sick of it. Even when he gets me something I actually need, like wine glasses, he got me a full 12 glass set - I don't have room or any possible need in my life for 12 wine glasses! I don't wanna tell him to stop because he can "tip" me however he wants, but realistically, these things do nothing for me and just end up going to Goodwill or in the trash.

    When I worked at this bodyrub parlor guys would "tip" the most random shit...I had a guy bring me a dress from Rainbow and he acted like it was $500 or a Versace dress and made me put it on and went on about how stylish I looked. Another dude brought me some bootleg perfume and lotion set. Don't get me wrong, some guys gave lovely gifts, but a lot of times it was just..weird. I prefer cash tips, unless it's from a client I really like and the gift is meant to be thoughtful. Not something where they expect extra special service or praise.

    Tipping seems to vary by region too. Where I live, it's not usually done. If I head 400 miles north - it is. No idea why.

    In my ads, I mention that I love food and wine. As a result, I get a lot of wine and a few of my clients are in industry. A mixed case is not an uncommon gift. I don't really mind, it means that I usually have good stuff on hand and saves me buying it. I would not feel the same way about a dozen surprise wine glasses.

    I love and appreciate tips.

    Big or small they add up. Cash is perfect.

    Or a gift voucher to a favorite store if client wants to buy something.

    I have a wishlist that I direct the fellas in my life to, clients or otherwise. That way, they know what I like and its something I can use. Men absolutely suck at buying gifts (although a few have surprised me!)
