and how many guys are seeing a great looking lady a second time in the hope the "chemistry" improves after a so-so first meeting?

I am just curious, no judgment either way....

I bring tip money,  and there are plenty of ladies I'd like to meet before returning to one I already didn't click with.

I sometimes bring gifts, other than tip money, to a first session. Sometimes chocolate, sometimes flowers, sometimes wine, etc.

I never repeat with someone that I did not click with. I am always a gentleman, but just don't call back. There are many others that I have not seen and plenty that I have seen that I do "click" with!

recently. She loved me for it!!

a favorite supply a kick ass brazillian sonho something or other.

I have taken chocolates before if I know she likes em

Many guys do.  Flowers, wine, lotions, perfume, chocolates are just some of the items.  It goes well beyond that as well especially on special occasions (birthdays, holidays).  Much like tips, it's never expected, and always appreciated.

Hard to forget a prince charming.

Its sweet when someone does it but its not a deal breaker, its just  so nice /kind & puts a "Big smile" on my face when a Man does that. It makes me want to do some Erotic things to him so I let him know it was nice!

second visit hoping to click? I have never not clicked. I know it will happen some day but hasn't yet.

Flowers? No.

And hobbyists are not Romeo. For the manginas in the hobby, what do you think happens to those flowers? They are thrown away or given to the hotel maid.

Chocolates? Never. I don't want to be responsible for the next reviewer's review saying she was 20 pounds heavier then her photos.

For the cluless among us. A repeat session is the best gift to give a provider who deserves it.

But I've been known to set up a mean incall myself.
Fire in the fireplace...wine...snacks...toys...
Damn....I miss Atlanta. LOL.

are items I've received from my amazon wish list and they are much butter and exactly what I wanted because I picked them out.  
No thanks to chochloates to make me fat.

are always good and liked. and i only bring them to an atf.

Your disdain for providers.. and likely women in general, is probably the reason your wife won't fuck you
Providers simply provide a service, that is clearly in high demand. Why post on a public forum that you basically feel they are beneath you?

Hiding behind an alias....would you really use the term hookers if you were using the name you use to write reviews?  (assuming you do). This likely shows the same lack of respect you have in general toward women.

Mangina? If you think bringing gifts is cause to call me one, you are entitled to your opinion. I do this to break the ice, and hopefully set the tone for a great gfe experience, which is important to me. So far, it has worked for me....

I have had gentlemen bring me flowers...the kind from the grocery store is fine with me...and I always put them in a vase.

Many times, I  have had gentlemen bring chocolates...I usually have a nibble right then...chocolate IS an aphrodisiac!

The latest food gifts I've received...AWESOME...was a bag of cookies from Alon's Bakery.

From perfumes and candles to chocolates and flowers or even just a card instead of a plain envelope, it's always something unexpected and appreciated

I used to bring flowers or chocolates or wine to providers but I stopped for 2 reasons.

First, most of the time it just seemed like it was unappreciated. I have had providers leave the flowers at my house because they couldn't take them home. Chocolates seem to be unappreciated by most as they can buy the types they like themselves. Providers seem to have certain likes and dislikes about such things.

Secondly, with the prices of an average session being $$$ to $$$$ an hour adding in a box of nice chocolates or other gift just seems absurd especially if a tip is also in the picture.

Personally, I would rather leave a tip or gift some money to a lady when I hear of a particular need or desire. I have given cash for birthdays, trips, towards down payments on cars and various other needs. I would rather do this than give some flowers that Publix had on sale.

Some of us don't need sappy gifts to set the tone. A professional will do it regardless of your poseys. Then too, maybe they are just glad to see me.

Disdain for providers? Hardly. I use them all the time.
Now if you want to call me arrogant, I am cool with that.

BTW, where are your reviews?

a lady is to show up "clean" as a whistle, brush your teeth, trim your nails, balls, leave the correct $ in the envelope, & exit when you're suppose to.

I've also brought lingerie to some of my ATF's. I never see a girl again if the chemistry isn't there the first time.

I was told that it was "too conspicuous" so I went to gift cards which I give up front rather than as a tip. I don't know if it helps, but it does give me an inkling of what kind of lady I am about to spend time with.
