If a provider is working through an agency, should she be given an exceptional tip? For example, lets say the young lady charges 200./hr and the agency takes 100. Should she be given a 50.00 tip so that she nets 150.00? I know that indies aren't concerned with this but they nevertheless like a gratuity, even though they do not ask for one.

Since when aren't Indies concerned with tips?

gifts are always a good thread-

Chocs have been winners- as have flowers.

I also usually give a card with the donation- sometimes even something shiny (never a ring)!

It never hurts, I've found, to treat it a bit like a date-  the sense of anticipation can be similar

i always give gifts to providers-you get much better service-and with a smile on her face.

Its up to you.  Any type of gift I believe is always welcome.  Your money and your time also so if you feel like giving a gift, do it for the provider and yourself if it makes you happy.

Just something that I like to do cause it makes me and hopefully the gift receiver smile on our time together.

-- all the time - to anyone -

One a day keeps the Blues away.

It is a mazing how easy it is to make someone smile.

I also find a little "bribery" always helps increase mileage.

I agree a little thoughtfulness will get you favors beyond belief.

I have always the fact that a gentlemen would go out of his way, and present a gift. My ATF is lingerie. I feel sexy and wanted and therefore I willing and wanting to please more.

If one is visiting with a woman for the first time how does a man know what size lingere fits? A bra would be out of the question, panties are a definite maybe based on photos and reviews. That leaves a thong or nice stockings?

One thing I do is help the women women I see with their computers.  Just last night I helped one of my favorites with her Windows XP laptop (she had not applied any of the Microsoft patches, etc.).  I have helped other women I have seen purchase computers (not financially, but with hopefully good advice) and associated peripherials and related things.  I look at it as we are all good at something, and I am real good at fixing and making computers work well.

I enjoy helping people get the most out of their computers and am sort of known as the computer nerd anyways, so why not help others with what I am good at?

It is not exactly monetary compensation, but it is something that if I did not help with, the women would have to get somewhere else anyways, so why not help.  I never expect any "special" treatment as a result of my helping.

I love nearly all women and I love the feeling that I get when I give them a gift. My late wife used to tell me that it is truly a gift if the receiver wouldn't buy it for herself.
I gave my last provider a box of Godiva and a big soft Teddy Bear. She was so thrilled.... I think I felt better than she did.
Another provider (who also received a bear) told me that she was so poor as a child growing up that she never had a doll or a stuffed toy. There are some very sad stories out there.

I tend to send my ATF little gifts all the time, flowers, music I have copied etc.  I hadn't actually tipped her one red cent until she took me clothes shopping (not lingerie) the last time I was with her.  One of those adventures I don't care to repeat anytime soon but she did look hot!!

I always give extra$.  What really supprised me was when my ATF gave me some gifts.  That was totally unexpected.  So the next time I seen her, I gave evenmoney inside a giftbag full of presents.  I still trip that she did that.

Once I went with a girl at her invitation to dinner and a bookstore after a session.  She bought me a book.  It wasn't with a giftcard that someone gave her, but with cash from her purse.  That's sweet.  She also once gave me one of her books.  I did give her some trinkets but nothing expensive and no lingerie.

Isn't that sweet to get a gift?  Anyway, that girl quit the business.
