    Default I dont get this

    Why do escorts put on their websites, they like 'gifts'. not 'fees', which are termed 'donations'. They then list their favourite designer labels shoes, handbags, clothes, perfume etc. And how they love to go shopping!

    Is this shameless begging or scrounging? They charge a rate (in some cases more than what a good lawyer or doctor charges ph) and then demand a tip or bonus gift? Its not like waiters who are often paid lower rates because they are expected to receive tips. (Remember that scene in Resovoir Dogs?) Maybe they like grovelling to guys with deep pockets with more money than sense or just like to pamper. But in what other profession would that happen? They want something for nothing despite being paid. Do the guys look down on them for asking?

    Er, you've been on this site for a year and a half. Haven't you read any threads? I suspect the ladies and their admirers are going to tear into you.


    If I got a dime every time I read an ad with purloined photos I could retire right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QjS0AbRpAo Andenzi, izimvo zakho ziyaba.

    Part of it is simply a cultural dialect that lessens the sting or stigma of the verse. Let's face it, 'girlfriend experience for roses' is certainly more genteel than 'fuck me for hard cash - Preferably Canadian'.

    As for gift lists and registries, while they do seem rather pushy (Having been asked to play Santa on occasion, when my beard is especially full, I have the recollection of all the bratty kids shouting "IwantIwantIwantIwant" in the old man's face at the shopping mall), it can help a socially inept soul such as myself tune into something to make an evening flow more smoothly than a random bottle of wine (While I understand that cork is better than screw-cap and the latter is better than the waxed cardboard carton, I am so out of tune with fine wines that for all I know I just handed the poor gurl a bottle of lighter fluid) or some chance gift of a rare toy or book that they just happen to be missing from a personal collection (I really do research a potential date in hopes of bringing a truly personal gift).

    True, said 'gifts' are as often a gratuity-before-service as they may be a bonus for an evening well spent, but I (And others I know) see such things as an aid to leveling the social/emotional playing field somewhat, at least for us/myself if not for the gurl (Who would naturally view the meeting as a 'working date'). Such an exchange helps paint the illusion, however real or perceived, that the gurl sees you as more of a person than as a walking ATM.

    Though I have not presented gifts (Or 'gifts', if you will) as a bribe for better service or a reward for such rendered, I have seen a definite effect of one presented with some forethought and true sincerity. While I am never likely to pony up with a Prada, Gucci, or Chanelle (I have truthfully never understood name-brand consumerism, with rare and notable exceptions, and am just as likely to shop at the local K-Mart as I am to poke around Rodeo Drive), I have presented gifts to the gurls I've met that were chosen as much for their everlasting joyful effect as for for their economy of the moment.

    In the end, they are just like girlfriends or lovers, without the heartache and legal fees. Treat them with respect and pamper them as best you can and hope that they may do the same for you.

    I clearly remember a small town police department that had the same feelings about their cultural status.

    The "gifts" and "donations" terminology is a misguided attempt to hide the illegality of prostitution. Just like when you see "200 roses" ( vomitvomitvomitvomit ) on CL.

    The gifts is because some guys actually want to give them, and if you're going to get a whole bunch of shit you hate, you're better off giving the guys a clue as to what you really want, rather than them wasting money (really wasting it) on something which is going directly into the trash when you leave. Of course, some girls get them and then start to expect that guys should be bringing them in addition to their fee.

    I don't understand the whole American culture of tipping.
    Sure, tip if the workers go that extra mile, and tip the Pizza boy, but that's about it.
    I guess it has to do with minimum wage and stuff.

    Guys like me, we like to call a TS when we're horny, and have her say "come over right now " or "come over in one hour so i can get ready for you'.........when you spoil a Tgirl and take care of her with gifts, etc, you will notice she will make time for you, esp when you want to see her, shell push aside the cheap skates and other idiots who complain about the fee's and let you come over and hang out, etc. Thats what ive noticed. IF you want to be on the back burner, be a cheap skate. Ive read alot of complains on erotic review about tgirls and reg. girls Ive seen before and who i tipped really well and never had a problem seeing them, but the complaints on eroticreview 'the girl never answers' etc and I just laugh

    how can anyone be a cheapskate for paying the agreed price? So clients only get a decent service after paying extra on top? You woudnt do that in any other business. They charge more than lawyers or accuntants but they wouldnt be allowed to get away with that. What about value for money? customer service? Or in this trade is rip off the name of the game? Sure, they must see the guy with the expensive gifts from a mile off, saying to themselves, 'of course I'll make time for that dumb ass sucker!'

    So the moral of the story, if you pay for sex expect the prostitute to rip you off. I just realised. We are all mugs. Ive seen the light
