Escort Gifts

[curiouskev]

You're post sums up my thoughts succinctly. I thought I was clear in the intial post but maybe not as clear as I thought

Thank you

You all immediately assumed that lovely lady meant escort(though he hasn't contradicted you).
Nor do we know how well they know each other, and if an escort, maybe he has been a regular, once a week or a month for the last five years-in which case something less impersonal than a gift voucher may well be appropriate.

Advice can be good or bad, taken or disregarded but sometimes it gives you ideas you would never have had.

Thinking you have all the answers is foolish and disdainful.

Thank you

Gimme a break. If he knows her 5 years then he should know her likes and dislikes well enough not to have to ask for advice from a bunch of randomers on EI.

Some here say don't give gifts like jewellery I never met a lady yet that won't take it give what you think is right,

Oh dear. Sounds to me like you've never met a lady, Tom.

In some cultures it is customary to bring a gift to a new friend or old each time you meet.

In Ireland that's typically a bottle of wine or perhaps a dish of some variety.

Giving cash instead would be crass and embarrassing

To use your plumber analogy.
I meet alot of different nationalities as part of my work and with the possible exception of Ireland it is customary to buy them lunch or coffee and donuts.

Everyone needs to earn but that doesn't have to preclude treating the people you meet with respect.

Not having a go at you, Gonzo76, but never really got the whole buying champagne, flowers, perfume, underwear for an escort. I think its pathetic. If I want to show my appreciation to a plumber or an escort, Ill give them a tip with cold hard cash. They can do whatever they want with that. Some of the lads here are deluding themselves buying stuff that these women dont need or want. They are here for cash. Simple as.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head

Some people would fail the entry exam into idiot school. He normally brings the wine, chocolates, flowers whatever, but wants to repay this perhaps unexpected favour with something a little extra and since he may not have the insight into the female mind that you obviously have, has just sought a little advice. There are, you know, people not entirely lacking in the social graces and who may not be strapped for cash.

[curiouskev]

Social norms differ from country to country and indeed Irish people seem to lack the customs common across the world. It is not to ingratiate oneself with another but to show respect for the other whether rich or poor or a multimillion dollar contract or a 100,00 dollar one.

Your plumber analogy is a fallacy as you would still buy them lunch or coffee as a matter of course or invite them to the launch where they would of course have dinner and drinks gratis

Again you're description of the gift is a fallacy. It's a thank you, it's reactive not proactive, any emotional response has already occurred on her behalf and I simply want to show the respect that that deserves.

Dont patronize me. Your talking bollox. He, perhaps like you, and some others here, attempt to ingratiate yourselves into escorts good books with chocolates and flowers. In my book, thats delusional. Its nothing got to do with social norms.

These escorts are performing a service, in much the same way as a plumber fixes your sink. Would you buy him lingerie and chocolates for doing a good job? Probably not.

The gift, in this case, isnt selfless. It is given with the implicit intent to facilitate an emotional response, which is manipulative. If he genuinely doesnt have a romantic intention, a gift of cash or voucher would suffice just fine. Just as it would for a plumber in the example I used above.



Eh, what? But, nope, I get someone else to do that for me. Maybe you'd like there number so you can trim your pubes and make your pee pee look bigger? Ill send it via pm.

Only if you're counting the encounters you've paid for, Tom.
