Lots of good guidance from the members here. Cheers!
[QUOTE=ImmoralMessiah;6942158]Used agencies twice now and was curious whether anyone tips the girls and of so what's a respectable amount?
Had a great visit the other day and wanted to tip but only had $50 and wasn't sure if that's insulting.[/QUOTE]As others have said, no tipping is required, but certainly accepted. My "MO" is to show up with some goodies from Whole Foods, maybe including a pair of ice cold beers, for a night time visit. Kinda "pre tipping". My theory, is that providing a few snacks, sweets, beverages kinda shows them that you are legit. Cracking open a beer, for a pre-session toast with the provider, definitely proves that you (me) are not uncle LEO. That has certainly gotten good responses, and what I feel is a more "care free" session. Nice to have a relaxed and happy provider, and pre-tipping seems to be somewhat successful, in that regard.
Anyway. These girls put up with a lot of crap. Let's face it. Not all mongers look like Brad Pitt, in his prime. Hell, some of us don't even look like Danny DeVito, in our primes. There is no amount of $ that would justify the crap they have to deal with, every day. A little bit of "paying it forward" is the least we can do, to make it bearable for them.
