Sorry if this is a retread of a previous discussion. There's no way to search to see what's already been talked about as far as I know.
I've reached a breaking point over tipping both in my own experience and in reading the reviews lately. Why oh why are we tipping for mediocre and disappointing dances or even at all? In the past, a tip was rarely asked for or was offered/requested for additional 'services.' Sometimes I guess those of us who had an outstanding dance would tip for the excellent experience too. I buy drinks or get multiple dances, go VIP, pay her tip out to the bouncer of a VIP room to show appreciation and satisfaction. I don't tip for a single dance. In fact, if I just got a single dance from someone - it probably wasn't worth it to begin with.
The other day I had a great time with a dancer, so good in fact that I got 10 regular dances in a row from her, $200. I'm glad she didn't ask for a tip and I had no intention of offering one. My tip was she got to do 9 more dances without having to walk around and pitch dances to 9 other PLs. I bought her a drink too. I also asked her when she worked in hopes that I'd see her again becoming a potential repeat customer. All of that worth more than a tip in my opinion. Another place recently, I got 7 dances in a row and she asked for a tip, I said no, I just gave you $140.
What's especially galling to me is reading about single dance prices in some places being $25, $30, $40, even $50 for a 4m dance instead of the standard $20 (which thankfully it still is here in NYC from my experience). They don't sound like they get any higher mileage than what I get here and often the reviewer is saying how disappointed they were in it but adding they gave a tip. I understand, I'm a lousy PL too and have reluctantly given in from time to time but I still have to ask why, (no wait) WHY!?
I mentioned it before that we are our own worst enemies with this tipping, building up an expectation in this universe for a tip no matter what. It's not our responsibility that the girls have tip-out money for the DJ or House Mom or can cover the house fee. If they can't do that on dances over an 8 hour shift then they are in the wrong business. Get over the sob stories and other SS.
Lastly, I can see if you are a regular and want to have your usual girl in a club. Tipping may help you retain her and she'll leave whatever PL she's sitting with to come over to you. Gotta say, when you spend $100 or $200 on a bunch of dances in a row, that works too but to each his own. However, when you are in a club out of town, Vegas or whatever and chances are you will never see these women again, why give or give in to the (unworthy) tip? Oh, and don't get me started on tipping a girl just because she decided to sit down and talk to you.
I welcome your comments.


For any dance, the assumption is that it is high mileage, sensual, sexy, and that there is a connection. I don't do "air dances" nor do I let her audition more than 2 or 3 songs to test our connection together. If it's there, it's there, and if it's not, I cut my losses and move on. I am not a lazy PL and she'd better not be either. I don't go sit at clubs and let the girls grind on me while I watch the game, down beers, and talk to my friends. If that's your thing, cool, but don't expect her to be motivated, because you're not into her and she needs your feedback and attention just like she would if she were fucking you.
For $10 dances: my tip, if there is one, is proportional to her enthusiasm. If she's looking at me the whole time, if she's clearly auditioning for my money and my dick, it's worth a tip. Some girls give decent dances but they're looking around, checking their watch, talking to other girls, just going through the motions. They don't get a tip. They get $10 for 5 minutes of work, while it takes minimum wage earners 45 to 60 minutes to earn that.
For $20 per song dances, I don't tip a damn thing, because they're making some money at that point. Median household income around here works out to $38 per hour (8 hour days, 252 days a year). If she can dance three songs in an hour, for 8 hours a day, she's above that threshold. That's 15 minutes of work in a 60 minute period. No education required, no training. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying that it's a shit ton better than many people are able to do.
I don't do more than $20 dances, because I can get SO much more for the cost of a handful of $30 dances.
For VIP, I tip depending on the experience. I'm usually with regulars and they are usually very enthusiastic, and so they get a good tip from me, though over time with any given girl, I scale the tips down.
