I wanted to get this topic out of a bros trip report

Someone said that when they tip the chica they let them know that it is to go to dinner or buy a little one a toy

If you think a girl is going to use that money to go to dinner or buy that toy ?????? they will use the money for rent phone etc. just like the money you gave them for sex.

Yes I do have a heart If I like tthe girl I will take her to eat , but not at any fancy place .You can get dinner for two for 10 bucks in many places in SJ

As far as her K*ds, this is my real soft spot, many times they don't have shit. I choose to get them stuff for school something they may not have and might make a dfferance in their life
Is this tipping? Yes, but I know where my money went as aposed to giving her 10 bucks with a sugestion as to how to spend it.

So I am quilty of tipping,but not very often.
The real problem is tipping is becoming expected
Just try not tipping and see if the next time you are with that girl things change drasticly
If they do NEXT
The propina is getting out of hand

Most of these girls wouldn't be doing this if the money wasn't so good. So when you give them a tip and say its for something else, it kind of takes away what the tip is for and is seen more as a gift. Trust me. It works (at least for me).

On the tipping getting out of hand, I already know how much I'm prepared to tip (95% of the time) when talking about price, so if I'm thinking "if she's REALLY good and we REALLY hit it off, I'll give her an extra $20," And I know that the going rate is $80, maybe I'm just good at negotiating, but I'll get her for $60 and then, if things were awesome, give her the $20. Otherwise, if she's completely the opposite as she was in the bar, she gets $60 and no more.

I did have a girl (many MANY years ago) who spoke excellent English - she was colombian, blonde, what many would call a trophy, but I didn't think so, but I wanted to see what the experience would be like with a "trophy." She was commanding a premium (at the time, that was $100 and unheard of in the DR). She was all outgoing and flowery in the bar and we went back to the Presidente. She asked for the money up front - should have known at that point but this was YEARS ago. Once we got into it (and by the way, the breasts which looked great in clothing were horribly fake once uncovered), she started the "you finish, I'm tired" routine - after about, no exaggeration, 3 minutes.

It was awful. I just wanted to get her out of there, so I said "whatever" and told her to go. She said "and a tip?" And I told her "Don't be in such a hurry."

She didn't get the joke. Oh well... lesson learned.

Point well taken
There are just so many guys around now that think that tipping is the way to get a leg up. It is not the case for most cases it is counter productive.
Respect and a firm but gentle hand will get you so much further. Not to say that is a rule of thumb. They are Tico's after all?
This tipping debate will continue on an on. Also we as CRT are in such a small number there is little we can do to promote the no tipping agenda.
Pehaps TIshould have not draged the the dead horse out again?
But if one guy benifits from this discusion that is a good thing

Wow NHank.
Good thoughts.
: If you want to give her bebe something, bring an age-appropriate gift. ASuch gifts are good tips.


I am not a big pre-negotiator, but one area where I make absolutely certain that we both agree is money and time. If part of her potential earnings is an earned incentive, she needs to know that in advance. Yes, she might be pleasantly surprised when you pay her an extra twenty, but remember she started out lowering her asking by 25%, and you might have gotten poorer service as a result.


Here's who I tip in SJ:

* MP girls. First, they earn very little, albeit possibly more frequently). Second, if you've used the first couple minutes of the session to negotiate what you want and it's something the girl doesn't ordinarily do i.e. anal a tip may be in order. Ideally, the chicas wouldn't beg for the propina up front, but sadly there might have been gringos who took the extra service, then failed to voluntarily come up with an appropriate tip.

My usual tip is 10% of the total cost. At HLH, she'd get five bucks. And that's for no special service, just doing her job enthusiastically,, competently and with a smile.

* Indies: Almost never. Gifts for their hijos etc. on repeat dates. Cash tip? No way....unless I'm trying the "negotiate you down, then tip you" strategy).

* Indies: Small sexy gifts given in advance. Of course she can have the vibrator she'll use with you, or the stockings you dressed her in, or the perfume you've dabbed on her wrists, lobes and tits. These small things in advance work for me in helping her relax and build expectations of fun. Note: We're not talking top-shelf anything here. Just little trinkets that the two of you can enjoy together.

All of the above is just my opinion.

Of course, the best course of action is that they don't charge you in the first place (yes, it has happened more than once), but something that happens in the Dominican is that price is never discussed until after and then more often than not, the answer is "Pay me whatever you think you should." I think most chicas realize that they can always ask for more, but if a guy offers more than she was expecting, she's hit the jackpot.

I don't think that's ever the business model in CR, is it? I haven't been to the CR in quite some time, but I'm guessing its not...

Then there's the Tijuana model where if you DON'T negotiate before hand, you're likely to end up a marked monger (and NOT in a healthy way) if you p!ss off the wrong chica with the payment after.

I had this happen with a MP girl, Karin, whom I took to dinner the day of a morning session. We went back to my condo after dinner. We met the next day for dinner, and she confessed that she could not go home with me. She made sure that I understood her. Because she was forthright, I took her to dinner anyway. Well, she asked if she could visit the following morning at 10 A.M. She arrived at 10 A.M. (British time). After a great session, we took a cab to Mercado Central. I gave her something, and she flatly refused. After five minutes, I told her that it was for the little one. After a hesitation, she took it.

Upon reading different opinions on this topic via various threads, I would offer the following synopsis esp for a newer guy.

1) To just plain old tip, just bcs you feel like you're Don Juan or Donald Trump in this market, is frowned upon bcs of the potential changes to the ladies' expectations in the P4P arena. This has been proven.

2) Performances above and beyond expectation, even if it is the first time with the girl, can be somewhat justified (after all, we are paying for a service). I agree with El Ciego that 10% could be a good number. I already read the 50% is not really 50% debate versus servers versus the rent. Can we just say 10% of total price for the sake of a number?

3) Ladies who are with a guy repeatedly and receive some additional revenue, cash or gift, is something based on that specific relationship (I guess even lollipops and I hope they were charms blowpops ).

my first wingman sent me this, how true

" most of the girls down here, lie as a self defense mechanism and to not have to face the truth, thinking most men couldn't accept them knowing the whole truth. Simpler, they may just want men to think they are as perfect as they want to appear to them, trying to hide what they consider to be the ugly truth about themselves. And I may be reading more into it than is there, but I do believe they consider the basis of the lies to be justified."

To help keep it straight, always connect the propina to a specific act, the reason for the tip. In this way you will avoid over-tipping: if you can't find a good reason to tip, don't. You will also let her know why she is getting the stipend and the odds are that she will start to connect excellent performance to increased revenue.

If she doesn't know why you gave her extra money then she just thinks you are a fool who doesn't know the value of money. My $.02.

What Pacc55 just said is 1000% correcto

I see guys all the time who say, "Yeah, I gave her a tip because she was good". Hell, there a 1000 chicas that are "good" Tipping should only be for the "above and beyond" the normal, and you should ALWAYS make sure she knows for exactly what outstanding "service", she is receiving the tip.

Ive never understood the whole tip thing. I for one have never gave one, and never will.

Its a business transaction. In my opinion; GFE, PSE, BBBJ, anal are all marketing techniques to further benefit the girls odds of being selected.

Car makers can justify charging more for a specific car because it offers something that the others don't; therefor putting it on a certain level and justifying a price. Only so many people are going to want the cheapest option; equally if not more people want something with class, something that handles, something with speed and performance.

The motivation for the girl to perform well, and offer good service should be in the rewards it reaps. If you get a reputation of going beyond the ordinary call of duty, people come, and people will pay. Look at the Relax girls that are basically the talk of the forums now!

I make it pretty clear what I want in terms of service. If your not willing to do what I want, then don't waste my time. None of this well we can do what you want, and if you do some good things Ill throw in some extra cash bullshit.

My rant. Finished.

I hope that NO ONE construed my last post as to mean that I was in any way condoning tipping. I was solely aiming my comments at the guys who think they have to tip--the ones who "feel sorry for the 'poor little latina'; the ones who think they have to show her that they are rich to impress her; the ones who do not understand that they are not in the USA; and the ones that do not understand Latin culture (and think they have to change the rest of the world to be just as plucked up as the USA is right now). And the ones who have fooled themselves into believing that by tipping they are going to get something special,

I hear guys saying "Oh, yeah I tipped Jenny big time because she worked so hard to get me off twice, and she gave me such a great BBBJCIM" Guess what She does that with EVERY GUY whether he is Tico or Gringo and whether he tips or not. And she will do the same next time you are with her whether you tip or not SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TIPPING FOR other than to feed your own ego The first time she got a $10 tip, she showed it to me and asked me if the guy was very rich or just 'tonto' and what did he expect her to do for the extra money!!!

BY THE WAY, Is it time for another debate on tipping Has it been a month already

Justin, Andy and I already decided on the "tips" we're giving out on all future trips - just follow these steps...

1. Cut a hole in a box
2. Put your junk in that box

You can figure out the rest...
