UPDATED: Are they posting for clients or other providers?

[LC18]

Question no 1: Are providers posting gifts, dinner date photos and tips doing that to impress other providers or to encourage clients to tip?

Question no 2: Do you mind seeing the gifts posted on social media? What is a reasonable amount of gift posting?

Once again, please be respectful.

I believe it is a little bit of both but mostly it's towards encouraging other dudes to dip their toe into the gift pool.

I've sat in on a few photo staging sessions, my industry friends said it's all marketing, that's all. IMHO, if someone gave me 50k worth of Birkin bags, iMacs and Rolex watches, I would be laying low, not boasting on Social media and making potential clients feel small. Ever notice that the photos are picture perfect and not done with ones own cellphone. .

No Tip. I don't get anything after a heart surgery.

You misunderstood the question.

A completely mixed bag of reasons, I'm sure.

Some do the humble brag to show off to their peers or clients. Others post out of a genuine desire to share in their good fortune. Still others do it to enhance / overstate their reality in the eyes of others.

This is the same of all social media - it's not restricted to this industry.

However, that strategy can backfire, as @LiveInTorontoPartyInMontreal alluded to, with some potential clients feeling like they can't compete with the more affluent clients.

Personally, when I see an escort showing off her expensive FMTY trips and the like, I figure if she's got megabucks clients she doesn't need my $700, so I quite happily take my business elsewhere.

I’m always just assuming they have a sugar daddy and are seeing clients in the side. In my career I’ve had maybe 7 FMTY and some girls are on FMTY every other months.

Some SPs use Twitter to style themselves as high end companions enjoying a certain lifestyle.

While I'm sure some clients do take them out on dinners, provide gifts etc., it's more likely than not about branding and encouraging clients to consider multi-hour bookings with dinners.

I'm also sure they don't mind projecting success to others, generally speaking.

Two birds one stone kind of situation.

I think it could be a combination of all the things you mentioned. I am sure some providers like to show off to their provider and non provider friends and show how their clients are spoiling them. It also gives them a bit of a high end luxurious aura on social media when their posting expensive gifts that clients are buying them or posting photos of themselves at lavish restaurants. They can also be doing it to show clients what they expect on an encounter if they want to have a good time. I personally don't mind providers posting photos of gifts. If I'm inclined on buying her a gift or spoiling her a bit it gives me a good idea of what kind of things she would appreciate someone buying her.

I think sometimes it's self validation. To convince themselves they're ok in this biz and are truly attractive people.

I feel the same way. I don’t mind if an SP posts a pic of a gift a client gives them and says something like “thanks for a great evening Mr.X”, it can convey a sense of gratitude that I can appreciate. But when it’s over blown it turns me off. There are women who I stopped following on social media because I got the impression that they’re only in the business for the whales and high rollers.

I’ve got cash and see what some would consider fairly high end girls, but if I get the feeling she's only going to give me her best if I show up with a Cartier gift basket? no thanks. I honestly prefer to see girls who give off a down to earth vibe, and the super model / influencer type does nothing for me.

I feel as if it’s a bit of both, some providers (STRONG SOME) I’ve seen post to impress their friends and to also sell a lie they live this lavish life to other providers. I do understand the client aspect tho

as for the second question I don’t mind it honestly it’s just for business, just don’t do it maliciously

I see on X that ladies are taking a screenshot of e-transfer and pretend to be a gift... I think it is for the session. Huge turn off

I think ladies doing it is to increase their reputation and to attract the gents on the generous scale.

 

[Knuckle Ball]

I believe there are some clients who enjoy bringing a gift for the sp. It’s part of their fantasy…or it makes it feel more like a date? I dunno…but for some guys it seems to meet a need so the sp is playing that role for him.

It used to bother me when I saw this on sp’s web sites because I thought it seemed presumptuous but at this point I just see it as another form of service that she offers. No different than offering role playing, fetish services, etc. I don’t judge it anymore.

I do receive e-transfers from my friends because I lend them money. I could pretend it’s from clients but I don’t see the point.

I strongly suspect it's more to encourage others to be generous. And honestly, the transparent nature of what they are doing is quite offputting. I don't think any amount of gift posting is appropriate. If a lady wants to thank the giver, there's no reason for her to make it public other than to manipulate/guilt others into being generous as well. I imagine some ignorant folks fall for that, and adapt their own gifting/tipping behaviors to suit, but I also imagine there are many like me who despise what's effectively a hustle.

I've noticed there's also a middle ground where ladies post snapshots of gifts that were supposedly sent anonymously. Maybe they're telling the truth and they're honestly trying to find the right person to thank. Or maybe it's just a sly way of finding another method of posting gifts without what they're doing looking too shady. Probably instances of both, depending on the lady.

If this is true then by posting it is not only an encouragement of existing clients to give/match gifts, but clients must give equal gifts or better gifts. Is this not the same as the client asking for a freeby? This might have a positive or negative effect on future transactions, as some people would stay away for this reason.

As far as other providers go, it may encourage them to try harder without sky high expectations.

My two cents, might not be true for everyone. I do not post the stuff a lot, but I do sometimes when I'm over the moon bcz I want to share my joy and it feels weird to text a SP who's my friend about it as you never truly know how someone is doing financially and i never want to make my friends feel bad. Deff not texting civ friends about it, or posting it on personal social media bcz my traveling and cosmetic surgery raises enough eyebrows... but at least on twitter it's accepted as part of branding is I do post the stuff I get so it's not like I sent a friend who might be financially struggling my $2k shoes a client bought, but I'm still getting to share my joy with others.

I don't think it helps business, I got gifts when I was bigger and posted and it never encouraged business, and I haven't since really posted that stuff since I lost weight and my business is booming compared to before. I will be posting some stuff soon to see if now that I'm a more "acceptable" size it does make a difference, but I doubt it.

I don't care why a SP posts gifts, dinner, travel or any other pics to their social media. I'll never know if they're using the pics to show off, encourage more gifts or if it's a genuine token of thanks. They're free to post what they like and I'm free to see them oor not.

I'm not sure why anyone would feel pressured to give gifts if they see a SP post them on social media. If a SP raises a stink that I didn't tip or bring a gift then I simply won't see her again. Luckily, I've never had anyone raise a stink about this. The best gift you can give a SP that you like is repeat business.
