I have never given extra money to WLs or the very few MLs I have seen. I have been out with them and paid for meals but they paid for my meals too at times. No, never given them extra cash

I figure that I'm 50.... the girl is 20.... her currency is her body, mine is folding stuff.... fair trade? An extra pineapple doesn't mean a great deal to me, but giving it to them with a nice compliment about how I think they are worth more than $x always draws a smile, and I think a great service... money well spent.
Never and not likely to. My pleasure is their business.
Returning again is the best reward for them.Quote:

The only time I tip is when they go they extra mile (extra services) & go beyond their offering.
Have turns paying for dinner.
If you give a money tip you are only doing something any other client can do. You need to be different to make an impression. Just a few words can be more effective; if you say "you're gorgeous " that's a commonplace, they hear it all the time. But , if you say "you are different to the other girls," they will say "how?" and you say offhandedly "Oh, I dunno, you're just classier." That approach is more likely to work because it touches every WG's weak spot - her vanity, and it puts her ahead of her competition. BS is a basic punting skill, it shouldn't be neglected.
If you feel you must tip cash, only do it rarely and generously, Christmas, Chinese New Year, don't let it become an expectation. Tho' I once got caught out with a regular who had 3 Birthdays in the same year.
Do any of you guys tip for great service anywhere else? For example, a barber, mechanic or a restaurant?
I do not think tipping is a culture here in Australia unlike in USA. Being a regular to a barber or mechanic or other services is good enough (also apply to a WL/ML). That being said, no one will stop you or anyone if they want to give tips.Quote:

Absolutely not. Everything is do darn expensive these days.Best I would do is at allow restaurant to keep the change if paying in cash next to the nearest $5 and that's only if had an exceptional time.Quote:

If a ML goes beyond what the agreement was - usually a slow NHJ with touch, then I'll also tip up to the market rate for that extra service. The ML I'm currently seeing has always tried to give me change if the amount I've given her is above the usual rate that we've agreed, however if I do this I insist she keeps the change. It seems to be paying off as every now and then she'll throw in a special treat at no extra cost.
Of course $500 to help her with the rent.Quote:

What do I get special in return?
Nothing. Call me a simp.
So when you are always given your regular favourite table with the best view or location in the place it doesn’t deserve some reciprocal generosity? Or when the waiter comes out with your favourite drink without asking?Quote:

In both occasions they know what you want and are happy to give it without hesitation.
Do you give to charity also?Quote:

No I don't tip anywhere. In normal life here in Australia we have "the minimum wage" that's so everyone gets a fair wage for their effort, even the bludgers.
In punting life the girls are earning between 3 - 10 times per week more than I am...and its tax free!
My reciprocal generosity is my repeat business. I call it the Cheers experience (American TV show). There are places where I walk in, sit down, make eye contact, and the server brings me my favorite drink. I don't have to say anything. Why wouldn't they if I'm a regular. Plenty of places to go for a drink at the same price, so I kind of expect to be acknowledged if I'm a regular. Tipping is not the norm here. Once, I even left the coins on the tray and the cashier remined me that they were there. I said to keep it, and she seemed very confused. $2+ certainly not really a "tip", just my ack, but misunderstood.Quote:

The exception was when I departed. I would always have the exact amount for the extras, especially as I knew what they cost. I don't expect her to be a bank. But in this case, I paid $150, not $130. EVERY one asked if I wanted change - here, I told them to keep it as I wouldn't be seeing them for a long time. But for normal visits, no, it's not a slight, it's just business as usual.
YMMV

As regards a WL’s income. They deserve every penny and more considering what they sometimes have to go through.
All the punters see is a smiling face and the show goes on…
YMMV is pretty apt. Why not keep the tank topped up and never run out of fuel?Quote:
