Tipping?

[Loslonelyboy]

I think any tip over 500 would be considered large and over 1000 would be considered "holy shitballs" but I would guess it would vary greatly depending on the model and what she is used to receiving. Some get those tips every night, some once a week, and some hardly ever!

Largest one I ever shelled out was 7500 and that was insanely insane of me. Once I get back to tipping though, I believe I will just stick with my usual 91's!

 

[PlayboyMegan]

Do you bbs have a preference between getting one large tip from a member (followed by a week or two of minimal or no tipping from that member) or a steady stream of smaller tips (with either method resulting in the same amount of tokens tipped).

If I'm struggling to make my countdown, I'd rather get some tips then, than have someone save up for something big. If I'm Doing great, a big tip would be best because they're so fucking exciting!!! I just received my largest tip ever a few nights go. When he saw I was struggling, he would take a little out of his saved up pile and help me, which was great for me because I definitely didn't expect an absurd tip from him after he continued to tip me smaller amounts.

IDK..perhaps I'm jaded or something. I used to deal a lot with strippers [non customer] and hear about their nightly takes. Speaking in $$ and not tokens, $5/10 is a small tip and $50 is 'nice'. Consider also the cost of a lap dance ... $40+ avg.

Back to tokenage...
While I do toss out 10 token tips, they are seldom singally given. I mean really ... to the girl its 50 cents or less. If you toss quarters on a stage, you'd be escorted out the door post haste. Thats why it astounds me when the twits expect something substantial for their precious 10 tokies. :lol: It doesn't make a bit of difference what anyone's cost per token is, This is all about the payout to the ladies. The less you spend the more it costs you.
Yes, I do realize all tips do add up to something larger and many tiny tips will make a decent payday.....

personal purely random and not taking the girl into account,
'making noise' or wall building tips 10/20 tokens
smile or grin- 100 tokies
nice tip would run 4/500 tokens,
fun squeal maybe $50 or 1000 tokies.
large $100 / 2000 tokies. [or 1875 since thats a purchase amount]
holy shitballs over $250+ /5000+ tokies.

I think this is about where I'd put my estimates. Though instead of a fun squeal, I think I get a bit bouncy/dancy excited for 900-1500 toks and ecstatic anything over that. Yes holy shitballs is in the multiple thousands, lol.

I can't say if getting a little here and there is better, worse, or same as getting bombs. It all depends on the day and the flow of the room. I will say, though, that many girls feel bad when one person tips a whole countdown and no one else who is watching contributes. We hate to have the burden of that day's success be put on one individual. We realize it's their choice and they do it because they want to, but sometimes we feel better knowing people pitched in together to get a show going (and that more than just the one person and a few established regulars actually deserve to see it!) If you're going to drop a bomb, consider if the countdown is flowing already or if it's at a standstill. If it's flowing, maybe wait until the show starts, or later, to drop a bomb as to not dissuade other members from helping the count. If it's at a standstill and the model wants to get to the show ASAP, then it may be a great time to drop the bomb.

Regardless of any parameters I listed above, we love any and all tips, so please don't let me interfere with your tipping habits! Without you guys, we'd be nowhere, so on behalf of models across all sites: THANK YOU!!

For the record, I never ask for anything when tipping 10 or 20 tokens (or ever, really). If a countdown is going on when I tip, then obviously my tip can be taken off said countdown, but really, I'm just tipping because, and would have tipped the same amount whether there was a countdown or not.

The only realy exception to this, is if someone like SophiaLocke is doing her Sybian show where x amount of tokens will cause her to speed up or slow down the Sybian, or to gag/ungag her, or whatever (or if I'm tipping for her to add a brick to to her Jenga tower with my name on it - I'm a proud 30 token investor in Jengaoplis, yo :-D ).

Also, not every one has the option of buying large token packages in order to ultimately pay less money per token. Some us are at college or university, or simply don't earn much money. And while the option of not buying any tokens at all and not logging onto MFC at all (or even freeloading if you're that way inclined) is always there, I'd argue those 'small tips that might see you get kicked out of other adult establishments' are still welcomed on a site like MFC. Like you say, they all add up.

 

[Jupiter551]

I haven't seen anyone touch on the pscyhological factor, except Amber briefly regarding tipping for countdowns.

I would think, and I guess I'm just relating this to myself, that small tips can encourage other members to tip - you see it fairly frequently, one guy tips a few, then another tips a few, then the first one does again....it's as if they were nervous about tipping or something until someone else started.

If it can be helped, it's much "healthier" for a room to tip small amounts together to reach a goal than have one member drop a bomb and the rest freeload.

Additionally, a large tip can have the opposite effect of the small ones (shutting off the flow of tippers) by both intimidating them (wow my 20 tokens would look pathetic next to the guy that drops 500 a time) and simply by feeding into the quite illogical but common attitude of "well she doesn't need my money look how much she's making".

A percentage of members definitely do feel a sense of entitlement - you can tell when they try to order you around after you get a big tip, they have the expectation that some dude just tipped you so you better "do" something. Large tips, while there's plenty of good things to say about them, do cater to that mentality - part of the reason guys freeload is because we (members) and you (models) allow them to.

 

[victor0021]

My thoughts on it are that people sometimes are waiting to see if a countdown will be met. When i'm in a room I like to usually tip small amounts occasionally to keep the countdown going so others feel that the goal is getting closer. I usually tip when the goal is higher to bring it down some and find more random tippers are willing to help with the lower numbers. If a room is super slow and on the first countdown I will tip more to clear it. Random guys are more likely to come in if say the model is already topless. I only do they really big tips if the room is super slow to clear countdowns, hopefully keeping the model in a better mood which always help pick up the pace of a room. I find if a model gets in too bad a mood it gets really hard to bring in new tippers.

Best way i've found to help get people to tip is the yellow wall, once that thing gets going more guys seem willing to throw in 10 tokens here and there to help out. I only do it though if I can keep it going for a while. These are just things i've noticed in rooms I hang out in not sure it works everywhere.

I only do it though if I can keep it going for a while. These are just things i've noticed in rooms I hang out in not sure it works everywhere.

I feel like I could fill a whole book analyzing tipping strategies on MFC. I've certainly tried a lot of different things over the past six months to get other guys to tip and I've witnessed all sorts of different behaviors in other premiums.

Different things work in different rooms. If you're in a particular room a lot then you can get to learn the feel of that room, and how other regulars to that room will react.

In some models' rooms the yellow wall (repeated small tips) works well and lots of people will join in. But in other rooms it doesn't. It works best if the model has a lot of premiums in her room. A small crowd is unlikely to keep it going long.

With the right kind of tippers in a room, a tip war (each person trying to outdo the previous tipper) works well. You need at least 3 or 4 guys (or at least 2 really agressive ones) who have deep pockets and who are looking for an excuse to tip. It can be quite fun., but it only works when the right types of personalities are around. Also, it can intimidate those who can't afford bigger tips, causing them not to tip, or sometimes even scaring them away entirely.

With other guys the promise of tip matching seems to work well. Some of them love to tip 100 or 200 or 500 when I'm matching, to see if I'll match. Of course I always do; if I'm doing tip matching it's because I'm looking for an excuse to tip. And I've only ever had to match a 4 digit tip once, which I did quite happily. (Well, twice if you count a guy who sent the model $50 via PayPal, which I matched via PayPal as well.)

Absolutely !! :-D Personal economics temper everything we do no matter the person or situation. The comment was not meant as any slam for any tippers but was concerning the plethora of cheapass or freetard directors that call out their tips at purchase value instead of received value. Still worth a nickle no matter if it costs 8 cents, 10 or even 12+[?] in the tiny packages.

 

[BetsyBooty]

May I just say how impressed I am by the thought and consideration you gentlemens put into your tipping strategies? I am so glad to know that some nice members are weighing things like the flow of the room, the model's spirits, the $ value of tokens for us, how to subtly encourage others to tip. Warms my heart.

My biggest tip was 1000, from a regular who likes to do pyramid yellow walls (not sure if that's a term, but it should be). You know: 1-2-3-4-5. On the blessed day, it went 1-2-1000.

I have often times been the only one or one of a few contributing to a countdown, perhaps that is actually fairly normal for most rooms. Being the only one is sometimes ok. Sometimes it is nice just to show support, and let others see what a model can do for them, then you are more hopeful they will share some of the attention too. It is always smart if you can to hold some back for some pvt time too, take your favourite out of a boring room both for yourself and her. Some of the most intense moments can be after tipping first.
I know a model who will stop her main tippers from contributing until she gets others joining. It is her way of keeping her mood high she will search for pvt time or leave for a bit without the right support. I agree most models would prefer everyone pitching in.
I think any time is good for a big tip, it doesn't always have to be public or contribute to a countdown after all. I find publicly displaying larger tips only useful in showing a model is worthy of it. Many want to keep a models attention with very little contribution. Nothing like a bomb to create chaos in those feeling they have control :-D .

 

[ComicOzzie]

IMO, tips tend to lead to more tips. That is why I think that setting a minimum tip threshold is a bad idea, because those small could-a-been tips never appear in the model's room.

The murdered unborn tips :violin:

 

[RyanneMarie]

My largest tip has been 7500.

This has been a one timer in 8 months. Other than that my second highest was 2800.

A big tip would be 1500, an amazing tip would be 5000, and a tip that would make me cry would be 10,000+.

 

[Anonymous]

What would you consider a large tip (something you could hope for weekly/ fortnightly) compared to an obscene tip (Something completely unexpected)?

Large tip: 400/500 tokens

Completely unexpected: 1,000 tokens and up (because it's a 4-digit tip!!!!!)

ALL tips are appreciated (I sound like a Dunkin Donuts tip bowl or something) and make me smile, so I'm not into setting a tip minimum.

[AedanRayne]

I think anything over 500 is a large tip. Let's face it, that's $50 out of the member's pocket and no one is required to give a model $50 of their hard earned cash. So, I'm extremely shocked & grateful that someone would want to give it to me, you know? It's very generous of the member and they're going above and beyond what the average MFC premium tips.

An obscene tip?? Hmm... Anything over 3000 makes my mind melt. That is INCREDIBLY generous!! :shock:

EDIT - I'll just add that there is an additional HOLY SHIT BALLS MY MIND IS GOING TO EXPLODE AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO EXCEPT CRY kinda tip... anything over 10,000 I've gotten a few of these and put me on cloud 9 for at least a week.

 

[LolaSmiles]

I tend to dole out 10s and 20s periodically, cos'... that's all I can afford to

Do you bbs have a preference between getting one large tip from a member (followed by a week or two of minimal or no tipping from that member) or a steady stream of smaller tips (with either method resulting in the same amount of tokens tipped).

I used to do the former, but tend to do the latter these days.

Hmm. I would rather tips be spread out over a period of time instead of getting all those tokens at once. And here be why!

It would be less stressful to me to be able to rely on a regular to tip a small amount each night, than to have one good night and be more stressed out for the next week or two.

When I have been more successful (I've been floundering about for the past couple of months, and I wholly blame the accursed summer) I would probably say that either one is good and will make me equally happy. If a lady is relying on a small number of members to help her (as I am right now), I feel constant support would be better than periodic support, which perhaps ladies who can rely on a large number of members would prefer.

Makes sense, bb :thumbleft:
I also feel like less of a freeloader, even though I'm still tipping the same amounts I always was.

Oh, I also want to say...

If you decide to tip a lady a large amount at once, it is unnecessary to apologize later on for not tipping. You contributed a huge amount to the lady's goal that day, and to her payperiod goal. So far I haven't talked to any model who says she likes members to tell her they can't tip towards her countdown, and she hasn't forgot what you did before. I definitely do not begrudge members for dropping a big tip and then holding off for a few days. But when a member tells me "Oh sorry I can't tip today after that other tip," it makes me feel like a slavedriver who demands moar money and that doens't feel good

I agree that it is not necessary to say that you cannot tip because you tipped so much the other day. Especially when it's announced in the chat and not in a PM. A lot of my reactions to tips are based on the tip notes, context, and reason. I want members to tip what they can. I have never called someone out for not tipping and I don't go on cam each day with a clean slate... meaning, I remember tips from the day before or even week before. I may still be in the honeymoon phase... but I am just happy to get tipped... especially if it is a rough night... I am most happy when I get to cum! Well that's my :twocents-02cents:

 

[PinkiePixi]

Granted - Im pretty new at this, but IMO, 100-ish tokens is large, and 500+ tokens is just obscene! My average tip seems to be around 25tkns, only gotten 100-ish on a few occasions, and got a 550 one the other day that made me freak out! The lovely guy also had no idea that I was really that new, so my meltdown was even more humorous to him!

[Julia_Storm]

This is the most obscene tipping I have ever done, and all I got for it was the joy of being banned. I will never do this kind of tipping again in my life. It is surprising how little you can know a person you spent months talking to.

Holy Molyyyyyyyy

 

[PlayboyMegan]

IMO, tips tend to lead to more tips.

The hardest tip of the day is the first one, for me. I try to start most days off with a game instead of a countdown because of that.

 

[Shaun__]

Holy Molyyyyyyyy

Like I said before those are not my normal tipping levels. I tip way less than that normally.

 

[Julia_Storm]

Holy Molyyyyyyyy

Ya u did...but is still cool

 

[SNATCH]

For me, a good tip is 100. A good happy squeal, or jumping excitedness happens around 300 - 500, && of course, anything more than that makes me go crazy. LOL. My highest tip ever was 2000. I don't tend to get super huge tippers, because I emphasize on group participation as much as I can, because I know that tokens are NOT cheap, && I hate when only a few people tip my countdowns. If everyone tipped 10 tokens, I would probably explode of happiness, LOL.

 

[RogueWarrior]

WARNING: Vodka induced rambling ensues. Some of it directly relevant to OP, some tangentially, some not so much.

Aaah, the psychology that goes into tipping.......and just so you lovely ladies know, it is not as indiscriminate as it may seem.

The biggest bomb I've ever dropped is 1000 tokens. At one time. I have, however, probably dropped more than 1000 tokens on a single model in a session more times, but not in a single tip. Most of my tips tend to be in the 20 to 100 token range. For me, it's a lot more fun to be able to tip more often than to tip bigger. Sure, it feels real good to be able to drop a bigger bomb, but if that means not being able to tip at all for the rest of the session, not so m

Let's just say my budget allows for a certain amount to be allocated for tipping each week/month/pay period/whatever. We'll use round numbers for the example.

If I have 1000 tokens to spend during a period, to get more enjoyment out of my cash outlay, I'm going to tip 50 times in 20 token increments rather than blow the whole allotment in one tip. I may spend all of it on the same model, but it increases my enjoyment to be able to tip multiple times.

Someone earlier mentioned progressive tipping and minimum tips. I have seen progressive tipping start out at one (yes one) token and end up well over 100. Do the math. Pretty good coin resulting from a one token tip. Also, one particular model has a tip board posted in her profile (good way to get everyone to visit the profile and it's always in her topic). The board starts out at 2 tokens which you gets you a middle finger salute. Way to have fun with small tips. It goes up from there up to 1000, I think (been a while since I've been there).

I like to be creative with my tipping, as several other members have mentioned. I have done the following:

---When the countdown is getting close, but for some reason has slowed down, will tip one less than what it takes to complete the countdown.

---When things have been going slowly but steadily towards a countdown, will say if it gets within a certain amount of completion, I will tip the rest.

I have also left a room that had a minimum tip amount. Tried to do my ice-breaking 20. Informed that model does not accept anything less than 25. Well, my 20 probably would have turned into 40, possibly 60, 80, or 100. Now you get nothing. Bad move.

I have heard a story of a new, lower-scored model who had a minimum tip amount of 200.

I have also personally seen some models with a minimum tip of like, 4 or 5 tokens, because they think getting a 1 or 2 token tip is "rude".

On the flip side, I have also heard stories of members "viciously" tipping models 1 tokens repeatedly because they think it will hurt her camscore (the fact that 1 token tips do not reduce camscore is one of the only facts about camscores explicitly stated in the wiki).

I definitely agree with you Rogue, being able to tip multiple times is a lot more fun than tipping once. Whenever I tip one larger amount and still hang around, I feel like old news.

 

[IsabellaSnow]

Minimum tip amount is a ridiculous idea! The only way I can see why a model would do it is if she kept getting loads of trolls tipping her tiny tips and then demanding she does something for it, but even then, she doesn't have to do it, and it's all tokens! 10 people in your room tip 10 tokens, there's 100 tokens.

The viciously thing makes me laugh! It's like 'viciously' throwing tiny bits of food at a dog! umm yeah.... the dog is just like 'hey, food, nice!' when guys do tip 1 tokens and nothing else it is a bit rude/annoying, more so because it means my countdown gets more awkward, but really it's all tokens so I don't care, and it rarely happens. (felt a bit bad, one of my highest tippers tipped me 1 token and I laughed because I saw his name come up, then read the token amount, I felt like it was a joke, then worried that maybe it wasn't...)

I love it/prefer it when if I have a countdown running, if a regular tips the whole thing, they leave say 50 tokens, it often is a good way to get people in the room to finally part with their tokens. If it's a regular they'll probably stick around for the rest of the night and tip me that 50 tokens anyway, so really it means I've made 50 more than I would have. I often feel guilty when only one person tips the whole thing, and often resent the other people in the room for making them, so getting them to complete the countdown when it's low is a good way. The other night though someone left 1 token in the countdown, I told the people who had been tipping not to tip as there were plenty of other people with tokens, it took a surprising amount of time until a couple of people at the same time forked out their 1 token tip.
