The transaction is the skeleton of the engagement, but the generosity is the soul. When you seek companionship through our portal, you will see hourly rates clearly defined. However, the question of "extra" often plagues the conscientious gentleman. Is a tip expected? Is it gauche? The short answer is: Tipping is never mandatory, but it is always remembered. It is the distinction between a client and a patron.
The Standard Percentages
In the service industry, 20% is the gold standard. The lifestyle industry is not dissimilar. If the service was exceptional—if the conversation flowed, the connection was electric, and she accommodated your specific requests—a gratuity of 15% to 20% is appropriate.
If the math is clumsy, rounding up is the elegant solution. If the appointment is 400, leave 500. The simplicity of the gesture is part of the appeal.
Cash vs. Gifts
Cash is universally preferred. It offers freedom and utility. However, for long-term regulars, gifts can build a deeper rapport. The key is relevance. A bottle of her favorite niche perfume, a book by an author she mentioned, or a gift card to a spa she loves shows you were listening.
Avoid lingerie. It is cliché and often fits poorly. Unless she has specifically requested it, save the garment buying for a time when you know her measurements and tastes intimately.
Pro Tip: Present the tip separate from the fee. If you placed the fee in an envelope at the start, slip the gratuity into her hand or pocket at the end with a simple "Thank you for a wonderful evening." This separates the business requirement from the personal appreciation.
The "Tax" of Travel
If a provider travels to you (Outcall), it is customary to cover the Uber or taxi fare in cash, separate from the fee and tip. This is not a tip; it is a reimbursement. Failing to cover transport is considered a major faux pas in the upper tiers of the industry.
