I used to get tips all the time. Since I have started advertising and seeing new people 10 % have tipped. Again regulars ...90% used to be regulars. Advertising was all word of mouth never online or in papers etc. Then the economy slid down hill and because I worked with top CEOs and upper management people Company layoffs hit them hardest. I have become good friends with many of the people I see or have seen. I'm still in contact with those who are unable to resume their hobby. Connections seemed to be what makes me a keeper. It's not about a wham bam thank u mam with me. I have been told by many "why did I not meet u before my SO". I have met so many awesome people on my journey that have touched my heart and I have touched their soul. Sex is better with a connection but there is always the ability to keep it separate. As I well know the people I see have lives that do not involve me besides our little adventures. But I enjoy being their escape even if for a few hours. We are all still human after all. I do get that occasional annoying one that I have see but I used to deal with in retail as well. You deal and move on if they get to be too much you cut them off.
However, I can tell you I receive more gift cards than cash tips. I also receive actual physical gifts often enough that I now have a large collection of a certain category on my site's wish list lol.
I'm touring almost full-time these days, so I've come to learn Chicagoland actually has a higher percentage of cash tippers vs gift-card givers than other cities. I don't know why that is; it's just something I've noticed.
There are a couple cities I visit where I don't think anyone's ever given me a cash tip, but they do give gifts. And I have one destination I've only recently begun to tour where so far no one has given any tip or gift. This might be because my rate is significantly higher than the local providers, or maybe it's just not part of the hobby-culture there. :shrug:
Don't get me wrong: I love gift cards, cash, and all of it equally and it's never ever expected. But it does feel nice to receive a gift or little extra something. 
Anyway..... as to your other questions: because I tour, my repeat percentage varies widely from one location to the next. In Chicagoland, though, more than half of my dates are repeats/regulars.
That last one? Oh my. If I dislike someone, I don't see him again. Period.
If the chemistry isn't there I would rather they find someone else, which then opens my time and efforts for someone I do wish to spend time with. I left a top notch arrangement years ago because I couldn't stand one more meeting with the individual I was with 😩
On that note tips vary some none, some double the fee, and everything in between. Gifts are much appreciated even my dog has gotten some cool gifts.
Business I'd say 80% regular and it's always a pleasure. There's no guessing game with me those who know me know my schedule and I'm always in the same location. My preference is familiar surroundings and safety for both gentlemen and I. Easy peasy.
Enjoy your weekend!

If you are talking about right now, at this moment, I can base off of the past six months...
1) What percentage of your guys tip? (90% if you consider gifting in-between, or on the date)
2) What percentage of your business comes from regulars? 95%
3) What percentage of your regulars do you dislike even though they are regulars? I dislike 0%. Regulars are what keep me able to pick and choose, and they're all really good to me.
At this point, regulars tend to gift and tip as the friendship develops, and not always right off the bat - hence why "tippers" are a different percentage than "regulars". And not all regulars gift and tip - which is perfectly fine
New friends are pretty few, far apart, and in-between, and generally become regulars for a while.
