The best tip, is a repeat visit.

There is  no consistent  answer, its your experience.  You have to decide for  yourself based  on what you took away  from it.  It's  as simple and honest as that.  Sometimes  that will be large  tip, other  times mid grade, and when warranted  absolutely  nothing.  Unless you want a robotic  provider.   Oh how dudes hate that, plenty of reviews to point that out.  

What separates  this  from real life ,  do you tip  outside  of hobby based on each occasion?  Whether you've  used , patronized  a service related  business before  or wish  to?  Not much different.    

I've  had enough repeat   encounters where they were on their game and tip accordingly,  and then for whatever reasons  off game  and tipped  lower  with same hooker , based  on that fact.  

Some offended ,others appreciated  my being honest  if they asked why.

The most common tip in my experience is guys rounding up by the hundred, like if a donation is 350 they leave 400. For longer dates an extra hundo is common as well. Sometimes after a date if a gent wants to show his appreciation he surprises me by buying something off of my wishlist or sends a gift card.  None of these are required but are always deeply appreciated and I agree that repeating is a fantastic way to show a provider that you enjoy your time together!

Its like the review last week where the guy saw a girl that was $400. She said she wouldn't do anything for under 600 even though her website said differently. He basically told her to go away and then she finally agreed to the 400.  
 At the end of the day he still gave her a $100 tip so he gave her 500. If you read the review he sounds like a total sucker and if your the girl you are like wtf - you had the money the whole time, talked me down and still paid me more??

Tips!

I never expect a tip, but it always a nice gesture.  Thoughtful gifts are always nice as well. I have one gentleman I see on a regular basis and he usually brings a bottle of wine, a new book, and a $50 gift card to Target or my local grocery store.  He has also brought treats for my pups. Much appreciated!!  

Well, here is what I do...

I always tip the first time. However, I find all too often, a provider doesn’t acknowledge or even give a simple “Thank You” for the tip.  If they don’t even notice, why bother?
I will still repeat, but for the rate ONLY.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

on this specific topic because like most topics presented here, it's relative. Again, we are all only experts in our own experiences, so I can only attest to mine. It's important to be clear that a tip &/or gift should never be expected; however, if a guest comes bearing gifts, who am I to deny them? In my experience, when I have received tips, it's usually a bill that is graced by none other than Mr. Franklin. Typically, for me tipping is more frequent around Christmas, Valentine's Day, and the summer. What happens far more frequently is someone bringing a gift to our date (my fave being a lingerie set I can change into), or purchasing a gift post-date. However, for me, my favourite tip is when a friend books again within the same month or even week. Everything else? That's just icing on the cake.  

 
Oh, and to the client here that stated they do not tip because it goes unnoticed; I am sorry that has happened to you. That is always something that should go acknowledged I think. In previous experience, I have often waited till after the date, usually in a "thank you" email to mention it. Personally, mentioning that during a date would ruin the experience for me.
