I have never seen a provider count the donation, I always figured they do it while you are in the showerI tip upfront and at the end, usually in the form of some e-gift card or payment I’ll send after the encounter, often in parallel with my thank you note. Handing someone extra cash on the way out post-deed and post-pillow talk detracts from the “GFE” in my opinion. I like to get “business out of the way” first. I’ve never used the pre-tip as leverage or even referred to it but, okay, I can see it giving off an initial impression that I might. Nobody I’ve seen has mentioned it to me as being an issue (not yet anyway).
Most of the providers I see are repeats I have rapport with and a lot of them don’t even touch the envelope until the end, and a surprising number from that group don’t even count it during the session. In such cases, the pre and post-tip distinction somewhat breaks down.

large bills are easier... less chances of making a mistake.Some count in front of you to make sure it’s right, some wait for you to be in the shower to count and hide the money.
If someone give me very small bills or coins I would DEFINITELY count in front of him.
It depends if you prefer quantity or quality. The SPs would definitely prefer John A!!Let’s say there are two Johns: John A, and John B. Both have set aside 15k to hobby for the year.
John A does a year end analysis and notices he paid an average of $300 per encounter and tipped 15% on top of that. John A ended the year with 43 sessions.
John B also does a year end analysis and notices he paid an average of $300 per encounter and never tipped. John B ended the year with 50 sessions.
Would you rather be John A or John B?
I totally agree. If someone is willing to hobby, it shouldn’t be about trying to get the least expensive encounter.Money shouldn’t matter that much. The quality of the encounters should.
That’s why when I read reviews of men spending $120/h having the worst experience of their life, I don’t feel so bad. Cool you saved a lot of money but you still wasted time and money.
I agree with you but I think for some of them the gamble and excitement of finding a gem is part of their enjoyment. In fact, I believe even the risk is part of their hobby.I can’t get over these guys that book ladies that advertise ONLY on Leolist. It’s hit and miss, for crying out loud. One lousy experience would traumatize me!!
Some guys are proud when they find ONE hidden gem, even if the rest of the other encounters are awful. I don’t get it, but we all think differently!
I couldn’t care less about being A or B, truth is I never tipped an escort and, I kept a few regulars for years. I never sensed any kind of attitude towards getting a tip. They all didn’t even care about it, they enjoyed our time almost as much as I did.Would you rather be John A or John B?
I think these are nice guidelines if you want to show appreciation to your regular SP. Of course not everyone has the money to afford spoiling us rotten, but little gifts here and there and tokens of appreciation are always appreciated4 things can happen when a client likes you:
1. He will book more often because he likes to be with and in you.
2. He will give you more than your rate. He will add more in the envelope or pull extra bills out of his pocket before leaving.
3. He will give you your rate and bring gifts for you.
4. He will send you gift cards or e-transfers in between dates.
It could be a mix of 2 or more points too.
Point 2, 3 and 4 are considered to be tipping (in my book at least)

I agree with you, although higher rates don't equate better experiences, often people have lower rates because they have no choice. If I was a client going to see a companion who charges 120$ the hour I'd give her a massive tip and a present honestly.Money shouldn’t matter that much. The quality of the encounters should.

Sometimes people have a set amount for fun activities and think “I’ll find cheaper dates so that I can have more for my money. Some end up finding gems, some end up almost traumatized”
P.S: That doesn’t mean higher rates equate better experiences
A positive, generous response!This is true, and also, these guys are a blessing to the merb community. Because when they write reviews about scams it protects fellow clients obviously but also because these guys are often the ones finding "hidden gems" that everyone then gets to experience without being the one taking a risk on leolist etc.
For example, the reason I'm on merb is because clients who found me on annonce123 and backpage early in my career told me about it!

That is well said; I have had great experiences for MANY decades without tipping an escort/dancer concerned.I couldn’t care less about being A or B, truth is I never tipped an escort and, I kept a few regulars for years. I never sensed any kind of attitude towards getting a tip. They all didn’t even care about it, they enjoyed our time almost as much as I did.
I have never tipped an escort, stripper, etc I think it is a silly thing with a racist history at least in the U.S. They are professional service workers not minimum
wage folks. I respect them as professionals and do not tip.
