Gee, maybe I am a really bad provider, but I've never had a guy tip for anything. Well, I have a client who brings me jewelry or other treasures, he is very sweet. I never ask for a tip or any extra fee for greek food or any side dish I serve. Maybe I need to re-think my quality of service and fees.....

More common, based on my reading of provider web sites going back many years, are the ladies who do add an explicit additional fee for "trips to Greece". That practice is pretty much right up front, and obviously doesn't qualify as a tip.
What does one expect to be tipped for other than general exceptional service? What are guys willing to tip for?

Again, going by provider websites I've read, many ladies will state that their fee is all-inclusive, and no tip is expected or required, though certainly one will be accepted if the guy wants to give it. I must confess that I rarely think of tipping a provider even for most excellent service. But I always have been something of a boor, as anyone who's met me can testify.
Frankly, I tend to tip only at restaurants and the hair salon, the former because, of course, that's the way it's been just about forever, and the latter because I read somewhere that it's the proper practice (and I'd gone years without tipping her until I read that) and after reading that I felt ashamed that I never did. (The fact that my stylist is a hot chick with a magnificent rack as well as being a very nice and pleasant person enters into that decision not at all, of course. ) I hate tipping as a practice, myself, especially at restaurants where it's always struck me as a dodge to allow restaurant owners to pay their help slave wages... Workers should be paid what they're worth to their employers without the expectation that the worker's going to be tipped.
