Attractive people are almost always more confident, well groomed, and happy.
So there are probably a lot of unaccounted for variables in the study. (btw, I really hate these kinds of studies that do not account for the necessary factors and arrive at causation instead of the more appropriate correlation)

I'm exactly the same. I make an effort to tip to the value of at least 10%. Exceptional service will often warrant more.
If they are showing a nice amount of clevage, bump it up to 45% more......Caelus wrote:Leonardo wrote:God Magnus wrote:My tips are generally based on how much money I have more than anything else.

Around here the standard is 15-20% or more it seems.
Anyway, I'd like to think that I tip the same as you guys, but if you studied my tipping patterns empirically, it would probably turn out that I tip hotties 35% more.
