Tip/Bonus Amounts

[+ oldNbusted]

Worth a lot in my eyes.

 

Agreed. I like to let a guy know that I am truly appreciative of a superlative experience and a tip is intended to reinforce that.

Absolutely, I feel the same way.

This topic is very interesting to me, as tipping properly (in any situation where it may be warranted) seems to be a bit of an art.

 

I have grown to look at tipping as a means to reward a service provider for a job well done, especially when they are working on the payroll of someone else (i.e. hotel employees or restaurant servers). Just how much, and how frequently is where the art comes into play (do you tip the doorman at a fancy hotel just once, even if you see him 20 times during your stay?). Then factor in local customs depending which country you may be traveling to, and it quickly gets very complicated.

 

In the case of an escort, I feel like they are setting their own rate, and don't rely on anybody to collect their money for them and pay them a portion... so I am always a little uncomfortable if there may be an expectation for something beyond the rate. I have tipped on several occasions, but feel like I'm flying blind when I do so.

 

So thank you all for sharing your thoughts and approaches to this. I especially like the thought of finding a more personal way to show my appreciation for someone who has treated me particularly well.

[TruHart1]

Thank you, But I didn't come up with this formula on my own. My first encounter many years ago was Peter hung and he was kind enough to help me understand what a professional escort is worth and if I treat them with respect they will return it. I have great memories of his ability to slip into any situation with me and make it seem like we have been friends forever. Worth a lot in my eyes.

And again we have yet another testimonial as to how excellent @peterhung85 is at going above and beyond the "usual" escort services. You were very privileged to have hired Peter for your first escort, @Clen!

Thank you for both of you this kindness, I can't emphasize enough how happy it makes me feel when I read postings like that about me and my service. I hope to have a chance to "properly thank you both"

I met an escort a couple of times, when he comes up to Boston.

 

I saw that he was using SQUARE (is that still a thing?) for credit cards. The screen gave an amount, then the suggested 10%, 15%, and 20% tips.

 

I really thought that was very, very tacky. The encounter was great, but that threw some cold water on the experience.

[jjkrkwood]

My personal 2 cents. for any service provider that is in business for HIMSELF, and will pocket 100% of the fee, I would not consider a tip. I feel that if an escort is charging $300+ for an hour, that's more than enough for the service he will provide me. and as he doesnt have to divey it up between staffers, he is being sufficiently paid for his time and service. I wont bargain the original fee and feel he is charging what HE considers adequate for his time and service. I believe that those that give a tip are doing so to make themselves feel good and insure a return visit with said Service provider.

I suspect that's standard functionality in the Square app.....?

I haven't posted very much but I am a strong believer in the tip/bonus as a way to show gratitude and respect for an escorts time. I start with the hourly rate as their tip. I am a clock watcher so I try to keep the meeting within the agreed upon time. I calculate the amount of time that it takes to travel to and from my location / did they uber / cab or not and cover the time involved as well as the transportation costs. I do not consider niceties ( dinner etc) as cash equivalents. I try to cover all costs and time costs expended on my behalf. This is how I tip pros visiting my city. Traveling to me on my request is a whole other game. Lol as you can tell I keep it very business like because I do not like to discuss money so with everything covered there isn't any anxiety around the meeting. It has worked well for me over the years. Just my method.

 

Excuse me, but he is not DONATING his time to you, he is selling it to you... If there was no monetary exchange he wouldnt be there with you, so I am not really sure where the GRATITUDE part comes in.?

Some people take the payment for time only bandaid way too seriously. The same is true in the other direction, too.

Quoting Miss Manners again (what a broken record I am ), that is...or was...standard tipping protocol. One doesn't tip an owner of a business, and risks offending them if a tip is offered. Granted, I think the letter in the Miss Manners book was talking about a hair salon.

 

These days, I think you'd have to look hard to find someone offended by a tip...but that's how things USED to be done.

OR, it begs the question: "WHY tip for something you are being OVERcharged for in the first place."? I've had many, many cocks in my time and NONE of them were worth $300 hr.

[Curious]

I have another thread along the same lines, but my thought process was that if I don't haggle with and I don't tip my Lawyer or my Doctor (people you pay for their expertise and time) I assume the running charge rate is already priced to their comfort.

[BlakeBenz]

Personally, the tip I would consider respectable varies on the amount of time the booking is for.

 

Single hour bookings I would consider $50 to be good.. $80 great, 100$ is awesome. Some of my clients do not use the full hour, just quick lunch break session 20-30mins and therefore they do not usually tip which I am totally content with. They have left me with more time to freshen up and book another (: I feel like outcalls should tip 50$ minimum for a single hour to cover time/travel expense (just my opinion)

 

Multiple hour bookings.. i don't have too much of an opinion on tips for multiple hour bookings.. I've had my fair share of extremely generous clients who have blown my mind with their generosity, but I've also had clients just pay the rate.. and that's okay! I'm greatful to be booked for several hours instead of one.

 

Travel overnights - Yessssss, you should tip if the escort is traveling from out of state to you. I think tipping them their single hour rate is a good tip.

 

Local overnights- Cash tips still greatly appreciated. Nice dinner, shopping, and good company always make me happy.

 

I think the biggest thing for me is don't be cheap. There is a difference between knowing what you can afford and just being cheap. I escort because I genuinely enjoy spending my time with generous men.I guess you could say it's my way of dating. The man who tries to negotiate the rate, but then comes wearing a extremely expensive Rolex and talks about being a self made multi millionaire goes over the hour and doesn't tip I will be less inclined to see in the future. The man who is polite, humble, respectful, and generous I would see again in a heartbeat.

I will own part of that characterization, I am not altruistic I absolutely understand that tipping could lead to preferential treatment in scheduling bookings.

Gratitude for me comes in to play when an escorts stands in the pouring rain ( CNN was reporting the rain as a flood) under an umbrella in ankle deep water just so I can watch a street performance. We had so much fun laughing and talking , huddled under the coverings that a stranger had to tap our umbrellas and tell us that the rain was over and we could come out. Priceless experience for me @peterhung85

In all other escort bookings gratitude comes into play when for a short period of time the professional allows me to forget everything and enjoy the moment. Difficult thing to achieve in a my busy life and worthy of my gratitude. So a tip is the complement and a thank you that I would give if I were prone to verbal compliments.

This is easy to answer. I will try to explain in few words as possible. If an hot eschort is welling to have shower sex with me to start, push me gently to the wall after (15min), stick their tongue done my throat playing tongue hockey, suck on my nipples, run their tongue down to my stomach, suck my dick standing up (10min) , then suck my dick on his knees than on the bed and lick and suck my balls maybe rimm(15 min) then romp with me in bed (10 min) then suck me off till I cum (10 min). I guess that service would be worth $350 or more to me. Hince, the $50 or more tip. The best part is that eschorts who charge less get a bigger tip.

I think you've got a great attitude. Gratitude is not a dirty word or a weakness. In fact, I think it's quite the opposite. A lack of gratitude, for things big and small, is usually a sign of a bitter and unsympathetic person.

 

I expect an escort to be grateful for my business and the respect I accord them. I am grateful that I have the income to partake in this luxury and that there are beautiful young men interested in providing the service. In a healthy and satisfying arrangement both parties show a little gratitude. It's just expressed in the currency that we each bring to the exchange. One has cash and the other has genuine affection.

[Phil_musc]

Oh my, the amazing ideas bandied about here! There is so much nonsense in this thread but I just couldn't help myself and read the entire thing. I'll never get that time back. It is surprising that there are so many newer posters here with different ideas about this frequently raised point. My favorite concept was expressed on the previous page - the idea of a "respectable" tip - well it just boggles my mind. The concept of a "respectable tip" implies such a sense of arrogant entitlement that seems shocking to me. A tip is a voluntary (well, maybe not in some instances. Some guys here still feel compelled to tip. . .) additional monetary reward for going beyond the purchaser's expectations. Some people it seems to me need to expect more for their hard-earned dollars. I've enjoyed many a fine fellow but really I can't say that I experienced anything beyond my expectations.

 

I will say though that Clen's description of his experience in the rain with Peter hung would probably qualify in my book as going beyond.

My apologies! In no way did I mean to come across entitled to any tip (: I believe the original question was asking what we personally felt was respectable, good, or amazing .. so I was just leaving my personal opinions on the topic. I never expect to receive a tip, and I am never unsatisfied if I did not receive one. However, does anything under 50 $ extra dollars really make a difference in my pocket book? Personally, it does not .. however I am always appreciative. I guess that's all I was trying to say (: any of my tip suggestions I provided have been based on tips I received in the past.

I get the picture freecahill, but really, to each their own... I have 2 hands and can get myself off for nothing. But if I was willing to spend the $350, that's more than enough. IMO, no tip is necessary. I aint that horrible

You are fortunate your finances match your generosity. I always say "if it feels good, DO IT"... so if tipping your boys floats your boat, by all means, MAKE IT RAIN....

I agree. We all have our perceptional twists on the topic.

...and what is wrong with getting preferential treatment from a hot, hunky 'service provider?' Sounds to be worth every extra dollar to me!

I completely agree with you, @Clen. The best escorts (such as @peterhung85 or @AresEscortNYC) do SO much more than just furnish a sexual adventure! They rock our world in so many other ways, too. Perhaps some clients who hardly even hire, never really enjoy(ed) themselves enough to tip. Ever!
