I never know when to do it or which approach has the best result.  I've put the donation down with a tip included before we've started and have had "over the top" experiences, yet I've also had very disappointing experiences.  The same can be said for waiting until our time was up to deliver the tip.  I understand that it depends on the provider, but in trying to make this a scientific survey, I'm talking about providers with very similar reviews and ratings (8's and 9's) and sometimes providers who I've seen multiple times.  Has anyone else had similar experiences?  Is there a better way to tip?

If the idea is that she will have some incentive to perform well in terms of earning the tip.

That's what I generally do.

After all, how would you feel if you gave a tip in advance and then received a ho-hum session?

I presume you did not leave a tip after the disappointing experience, did you?

I do, after a while, include a tip with the initial donation, but only for gals with whom I've had a long and very happy history with.

Always tip after, you will not regret if the woman turns out to be a total dud or even a nightmare. It simply is not worth it ditto the embarrassment to ones self.  If she works for a service and she and/or the service complain, give your honest reasoning and leave it at that. They will have gotten their hourly rate just the same.

 Thanks in advance for any advice  
   
 

If the want is to insure the performance one would tip ahead of time.

For 300 I expect the usual GFE stuff, which is already a lot.  Have to reward a girl that does extra tricks like take the whole thing and then tighten her swallow muscles...oh yeah that feels good.  

Such as I, I very rarely check the donation until after. And I mean VERY rarely. If the idea is to ensure an especially exceptional time...well that would be silly to do with me (though I like to think I provide an exceptional time to everyone I see).  

A tip is something that, though I do it rarely, I only offer up if a lady has really gone above and beyond or stayed much longer (of her own accord) than we had agreed to.  It sounds to me like you tip for every appointment. It's your money but, as you said yourself, tipping at the start doesn't guarantee a good time so why not wait till the end of the session and only tip the ladies who actually deserve it?

Being new at this I don't have a wealth of experience to draw from. I've seen two highly reviewed ladies and I assumed going in that they would be tip worthy. So I left tip cash in my pants pocket, not in my wallet. Both times were great experiences, good mental connection (for me being mentally stimulated / making a connection is most important, otherwise not everything might work to its full potential with me). First time I handed her the tip after. She was definitely appreciative but seemed uncomfortable getting handed cash. The second time with the next lady I left the tip on the dresser while we chatted. This time I felt awkward not handing it to her. Not sure which method of tipping is more acceptable/appreciated by the ladies? Any opinions?

Possibly put your tip money in a birthday or 'thank you' card. That way it's not plain money being passed but hidden and more discreet.

Palm the money and as you are parting, give her a big hug, and draw your hand down along her arm till you are holding hands as you draw apart from her.

Then just transfer the money from your palm to hers.  She'll give a big smile.  No words need be exchanged.

Do you tip a waiter be for you eat? Tips come after as a reward for extraorindary sevice.

But the ones where a guy is so flustered and shocked by what's just unexpectedly happened that he's just digging in his wallet to give me everything he's got on him before he leaves.

Thanks to everyone who replied.  I hope to have many more great adventures with your advice

IMO - what ever you start off the session with is normally a gift which is different from a tip.

Gentlemen,
That is up to you, but never tip before, you don't know what she does for sure.  Gift cards is nice and can be use for different things.  I like tips, but it is not necessary, but  it is the thought that counts.  As long as you are happy with it, then that is all that matters.  You never feel you have to give a tip unless you want to.  Also, I know you do this as a gentleman too.  I have seen women like tips, but you are paying for her service already.
