If a man pays what I ask without my having to ask him for it I have a neutral reaction; he's done exactly as required so other factors determine my feelings. But if he gives me something extra (either extra money or a gift) it shows his appreciation in a concrete manner. If he was a complete asshole and then tried to make up by tipping me it wouldn't redeem him, but if he's a good client to start and adds to it by generosity, then absolutely, it's a better session.

No, that's not what I'm saying; I've been with clients who treated me like crap and then overpaid me to assuage their consciences (I guess); such calls are NOT great! You are obsessing on the word "generous" and ignoring the words "polite, honest and appreciative" which preceded it. Generous is ONE component of the four I listed.I understand your analogy. But the bottom line is that your still happiest with the ones that tip the best for whatever reason. I know that your in the hobby to succeed and have no issue with that but I have met providers that are truly in it for the sensual experience and the renumeration while mandatory becomes secondary in the meeting
Let me try to do this by analogy. Imagine that you're a chef who opens a small restaurant, and you take the time to get to know your customers. Now, imagine you have two regulars: They both come in frequently, both praise your cooking, both recommend friends to your restaurant. But one of them always orders the cheapest thing on the menu, drinks only the free water and tips the waiters exactly 15%, while the other orders more expensive entrees, appetizers and wine and tips the waiters generously. Which one would you be happier to see walk in the door? Originally Posted by AngelOK

Kinda blows away the rate you want since you expect more prior to the session, since a great session come with generosity (and the other things you mentioned).

Originally Posted by charlestudor2005Who the hell said that? You are putting words into my mouth. I have almost never been tipped before a session; tips are usually given after, when the guy is getting dressed. I don't need a tip to give superior service; the question was "Providers, what makes a session great FOR YOU?" Not "great for the client".
There's nothing wrong with you paying the listed rate without dickering or bargaining.

I really don't understand why this has provoked such controversy; I would've thought it was obvious.

Originally Posted by ShackletonActually, I long ago recognized it is a business. And I expect the business owner to sell her services for the value that she sets. If she wants more for her services, I expect her to raise her rate. I don't tip the counter girl at Macy's for providing excellent service, nor do I intend to tip every provider who walks through the door. No, this is NOT a dating site. I might give a gift to a date, but this site offers a fairly strict exchange of cash for services. If a lady wants a tip...she should raise her rates...then she'll have a built-in tip for every date.
