most providers (not all) have no healthcare, 401K, etc. Ladies do read reviews and comments before deciding to ever respond, just as you guys read reviews and locker room chatter.

To add to this. Tipping, like in a restaurant is based on service... if the wait staff does not pay attention to my drink glass, or when I am done with the meal and I have to wait for my check, thus wasting my time do you think I want to tip them? NO! I have even walked on a check because I waited 20 minutes at my table for the check, decided I would go up front and wait there thinking they would see a "new" customer and I could then get my check and pay.. NO.... I waited another 20 minutes... so I walked.

Fact is that if you have "Game" then your game should be good enough to garner a good review, which usually means others will want to see you after reading it. (case and point I saw Starving Artist, had a WONDERFUL time, posted a review and shortly thereafter 4-5 others saw her and posted reviews.)

It is not you blowing your own horn that brings us to you.. it is the horn blowing of others and their experiences.

You can have a killer body, be flexible as a gymnast and have a great place to operate from, but if you are just going through the motions then we tend to notice that and feel we got cheated out of the 200 or more an hour you charge when we can get that same "lack luster" performance from a spa or such...

If a guy wants to see you again and does so, even if its once a month, you might want to up your game with the repeaters but your basic "game" should be good enough to garner praise.

Never expect nor ask for a Tip..... leave that to the guy.... as long as he does not short you on the donation then what you offered is what he paid for. Originally Posted by Mr. GPop

Service at a restaurant has to be EXCEPTIONALLY bad for me to go less than 15%. Even then, I'll usually tip anyway and comment to my server that I hope they have a better day tomorrow. The pay is shitty and alot of times there's things outside of the server's control that cause it to go poorly.

Hookers are in a completely different world from waffle waitresses -- that seems so obvious I don't even know why we're making the comparison. I've tipped them before but only when it was obvious to me they were going out of their way to accommodate me or show me a good time. Smiling and making chit-chat isn't going out of your way or GFE, its just having manners.

Poppy, your posts here are wonderful and well-written. You make valid points without being incendiary. I enjoyed reading them and agreed with pretty much everything. I've often said that one of the best parts of my job is knowing that I get to be the highlight of someone's day/week/month. It's an amazing amount of pressure, but it's also a huge compliment. I absolutely agree that each and every gentleman that makes it through our doors should be given the best we have to offer. As another lady said (Alyssa, I think?), the best tip is return business.

We charge a set fee. The gentleman bringing only that is enough to earn your best effort. If he feels your best effort was worth a tip, he'll give you one, or better yet, come back to see you again. You're shooting yourself in the foot by being spoiled and expecting (or even hoping) for more. Forget about tips and gifts completely and be super excited that you're getting paid $XXX. If your fee makes you feel like gold, it will come out in your performance. If it doesn't, come back to reality and realize how much money that is, and get excited woman! If it still doesn't, change your business model and raise your rates. Or go wait tables and remember how lucky you've been.

I'm not trying to shame you or lecture you, but expecting more than your fee is ridiculous. I know that's not what you were trying to say, but it IS how it came across, from more than one lady on this thread. You are not making a tip-earner's wage. He absolutely HAS complimented the hell out of you just by wanting to see you for HUNDREDS of dollars.

You are in a service business. He is not. It is your job to spoil him, and if he spoils you back, great, but it's not his job. All you should expect is that he is sweet to you and tries to make himself easy to get along with.

As for trying to explain the concept of appreciation, mutual respect, and mutual spoiling to the gents who have already displayed a bad attitude, you are absolutely wasting your breath. The guys are here for what they consider a good experience. If that doesn't include those things, you can't "fix" them. They don't want to be fixed. They want their available holes (to be bluntly vulgar) and the rest of the experience is completely lost on them. Just avoid them and all is well. Originally Posted by CarolineDavenport

WOW, and how many degrees was it that you are holding again? You are neither a gentleman nor a scholar, regardless of the degrees you claim to hold.

PS... Love Poppy too!

Ladies DO read these threads (you may tell yourself they don't, but they do), and guess what, you may refer to everyone here as "hookers, whores, sweet tits" and so on, but you need to consider what if the circumstances in life made your Mother, sister, cousin, niece wind up in this lifestyle, not too far fetched, after all YOU (speaking to guys) are here as well, so every time you refer to a lady here in a derogatory manner you need to think about what is coming out of you mouth & YES I know where I am posting this!

I do enjoy your comments though. You are such a smart business woman. I won't bother you with a date request. I'll just suck that one up. Have a great weekend and don't rise faster than the bubbles.

Well, being that you've never visited my kitchen Dorian, then you are just going on my three "fictional reviews."

I guess people enjoy my Chef's attire (which changes on a daily btw), as 90% return. What difference would that make to you, other than to stir up drama, as everyone knows you love young spinners.

One thing about these questions above is very simple. Being treated so horribly on here with all the negative post, comments, rude saying ect... Makes it very difficult to actually get supercharged about seeing these people. Originally Posted by abeautifulsite

I really think that the most vocal of these 'gentlemen' you're talking about inherently dislike the 'whores' they pay to see. They have little or no respect for them, so hiding behind their keyboards they disrespect them.

I guess that if they had respect for ladies, they wouldn't be on these forums trying to rent some time from some 'whore' when they could take their studly selves down to the local bar and take a '10' home with them. Then the '10' would end up paying them.

What these 'gentlemen' don't understand is that in the early days of hobby boards, they were created to protect the guys from getting ripped off by providers or their pimps, now these hobby boards have morphed where the ladies can view the posts by the 'gentlemen' and they can see who to stay away from. It works both ways.

+1 DJ..you said it exactly right my friend.

I know plenty of really great providers in Dallas, Austin and other cities - and the one common denominator they all ask rhetorically is.."What is with all the a-hole guys on the Houston boards?".

Now I am not saying by any means that every guy in Houston is one. What I am saying, is that the handful of douche bags on here (which I will not name) because we all know who they are - really have no respect for providers, speak to them like they are a piece of meat and just are plain rude.

To me, if I see a provider posting that is not my type..call it ghetto or whatever. I just chose not to contact her and don't comment on her looks, body, etc. The men are the shoppers and the women are the sellers so just not buying what they are selling is the best thing to do.

It's sad because I think the quality of providers who come to town would increase if there weren't so many asses on the boards. Dallas doesn't have this problem and they get a lot of fairly high quality providers coming to town..
