    Are you asking us to give you a guess? Or are you asking us if we do or not?

    My answer would be: Sometimes.

    Yes, sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. It was a question more for the dancers as obviously most of the guys who visit this site probably tip more frequently than the average guy.

    I dont get too many who do not. Our club sets the dance price at $8. This is a great mind trick cause it gets the guys to hand out cash in increments of $10. They buy more dances this way. I think, at this club, I've had maybe 4 customers in the past 2 years who have ONLY paid the $8.

    But I look at it as... well, they arent MADE to tip. They have the choice not to. There IS a price that they HAVE to pay, and thats it.

    I usually find out what percentage of the cut the house gets, and tip that much over. That way, the entire price of the dance goes into the dancer's pocket.

    Good idea. See, i had never even thought of house fees/cuts/kickbacks until i came to this website. Makes sense, but didn't occur to me.

    Barring ATF situations, the base price of the dance probably determines best whether or not I'll tip. Usually at $20-25, a gal is going to have to run off a good string of them to get any extra. At $30 and up, unless Natalie Portman is dancing for me, fuggedaboudit.

    On the other hand, if dances are cheap, say $10, a gal is going to have to royally suck NOT to get a tip. Sometimes, I'll even like to do a little "reverse quantity discount" with the dancer, like say 3/$40 ($13.33 each), 7/$100 ($14.29 each), or 10/$150 ($15 each).

    At that rate, I'll damned near pay double. Hell, for Paige I would pay double.

    Bizarrely, I get tipped more often at the club with the $30 dances than the club with the $20 ones. I would say about half the guys tip extra I don't know if guys are afraid to ask for change back from $40 or $100 or what there, but I always always ask if they want it--not like a bitch, but like "Would you like me to get you some change, honey," honestly, because I think $30 is pretty pricey to start with. BTW we keep $25 so we still get a really good price for our dances.

    And of course I'm happy to sell the dances period; the tips are just extra nice. They really add up here, though. I mean, in Austin, like 0% of my income most nights was tips on top of dances, and here it's 30-40%.

    So far, not many men have tipped me for my private dances, though they all seem to be very happy with them. The dances are $20, and only once did a guy tip me a few bucks.

    And like Susan said, I'm just happy to sell dances also. The tips are the cherry on top.

    That's probably the deal. It's just easier to hand over a 20$ bill. It's robotic, you don't even have to think to do it. If it was, say, 15$ or 25$, i bet you'd get tipped more. That 8$ dance thing has me thinking. I think it's just ease.

    Texas doesn't have a tipping culture. But in Florida, Baltimore, Vegas, and even New Orleans, I asked for and received tips at least half the time, on average.

    Your front side better look as good as your back side does if you ask me for a tip and expect to get one and not to offend!!!!

    I assume it is and that this approach is working well for you.I wouldnt change a thing!!!

    But as a good guideline for custies,the entertainer shouldnt have to ask for a tip.
    20% tip is a good ballpark if you enjoyed your dance and should be raised or lowered according to exactly how much you enjoyed it.

    Florida's tipping culture is odd. There is so little tipping at the stage.

    Hmmmm... Is that poll right? That seems really high... Maybe I have just been lucky? I don't know either way, thats fu*ked up.... I do know last night I had a guy at my stage who I danced for, then when I pulled my garter out to get the tip he looked at me like I was crazy (this was my last set of the night, the next girl was already on stage behind me, and I had about four other custys standing there)... This yin-yang (more yang than yin) stood there and played this stupid game with the dollar (like thats a BIG deal, it's a dollar, and I'm done for the night)... STUPID MAN!!!!! Why do they play dumb games????

    i tell them the price of the dances and say how much at the end but that a tip is always appreciated. works. sometimes i dont even have to ask. i do charge extra for tabledances that have tricks such as fire stuff, nipples clamps, etc.

    Naah...no tipping, generally. If I like her, I just get more dances. If a girl is the one I regularly see, I get gifts.

    This is my situation too. Probably about 10-20% of the guys I do dances for tip me on top of the dance, but I'm just happy to do dances. At the club I work, the dancers go on stage quite a bit, and if you do 10 or more dances a night, that is above average. I work in a small neighborhood type of club, and most of the customers are not high rollers. $20 for 4 or 5 minutes is a lot of money to the average guy. I never ask for a tip-if I get one, it's unexpected and I'm happy about it, but it's fine if I don't get tipped.

    I think I might have figured out why I get tipped more frequently at this club--some of the girls ask for tips, so I think the customers might have gotten accustomed to that. I of course don't ask because a $25/dance take is higher than average anyhow. I also just cannot ask for tips, I just can't do it. If I worked somewhere where the dance price or cut was too low for me, I would just charge more upfront for the dances (or not work there, like at the Deja Vu in Cincinnati, where "We take $7 from each $20 dance and you are absolutely not allowed to charge more").

    I will admit that I don't tip as often as I should (or mean to, rather). Tipping for anything here is the exception rather than the rule (only done for exceptional service), so it requires a mental gear shift that I tend to forget when I've had a few.
