During my trip last spring I found her stern and quiet, permanently anchored to her spot at the front end of the couch. I made a point of sitting by her side and engaging in conversation over the course of a week. Brought her a nice gift. Saved her for my last session before leaving for the airport, but at the last minute it turned into a dupla when another one of the Nicas showed up that morning.

Insisted on giving me a massage, did not play well with her fellow Nica, would blankly stare at you as if the whole process was learning to change a carborator on a Chevy, CBJ, very little DFK, etc. Sure, I was pretty tapped by the end of that trip, and it took me a while to finish, but she had all the warm of a Jiffy Lube technician.

Reminded me of an exchange between a GI and a Vietnamese provider in 1969 after they just finished a session:

GI: Um....while we were doing it, did I hurt you?

Provider: No, you did not hurt me. Why do you ask?

GI: Well, I asked because you moved.

Hahaha good one!!!............

I'm still new so please enlighten me as to why.

Because they know that silly gringos love to tip. Afterall, we have been trained well in the US to tip everybody for nothing, so they figure why not get in on it.

The new chicas don't know about the custom, so the hardened pros tell them all about it.

I'm sure this topic has been discussed ad nauseum. I guess one of the down sides is setting up a situation where tips are expected and the service is weaker without an agreed upon tip, which would amount to a "hidden cost" for normal service.

The subject of "tipping" has been discussed about a million times. Just do a search for "tipping" and change display results as topics and you should get some interesting threads. This is one of those very subjective topics that people always get all riled up about.

BTW-Most of the chicas ask for a specific amount for _(whatever)_, that's not tipping. That's called an upcharge. If I was going to tip a chica 5k anyway and she asks for 5k for whatever, I give it to her. She's happy and you're no worse off after the session than you would have been if she didn't upcharge.

The problem is exacerbated when you get mediocre to poor service and the chica still asks for a propina... Or provides no service at all, pisses you off and still demands to be paid...

With all the "demanding" going on, you can then demand that she kiss your ass.

That usually comes right after I have told them to get the phuck out...

Oddly, I have had this happen more in CR than anywhere else I have mongered...
