How much do you tip if the experience was subpar?

[Newtdad]

Let's say rate was $300 before tips

Nothing.  I tip for exceeding MY expectations.

Hiring a masseur or escort isn't like dining out.  The masseur or escort is getting your full fee, so it he provides a sub-par experience there's absolutely no reason to pay him extra.  At a restaurant, it very well might not be the server's fault that you received a sub-par experience.  Maybe you were simply disappointed with the food or ambience of the place.  I wouldn't penalize a server because I didn't like things beyond their control; I just wouldn't return to that restaurant.

Absolutely nothing. The provider has set his rate at $300 and should give you a great experience for that price. Why would you tip him for poor service ? 

[BrooklynIrish]

I only tip for exceptional service. 

[Oakman]

Stop tipping unless you are blown away by the service and want to be sure the guy knows you appreciate him and that you want to book him again. A “tip” for providers is a compliment for a job well done. Providers set their own wages. 

[AtticusBK]

Yeah - totally disagree with that. Definitely do not tip for subpar, but DO tip accordingly for good, great, exceptional service.

While I never tip for sub par I may tip a traveling provider who I hope will return to my area as encouragement. 

[soloyo215]

Nothing. Tips are earned (at least that tip).

[rvwnsd]

I generally do not tip. Period. The rare exceptions are when a provider goes far above and beyond.

I don't tip either (EDIT except for a certain bodybuilder who massively exceeded expectations). And if you do tip, don't make it obvious.

Subpar, disappointing, going through the motions, just getting the job done, average, etc = no tip

I recently had a "very nice" experience with a provider. When I tipped him well at the end of the session he said "I guess I should have asked for more". I kindly told him that I wouldn’t have taken the risk at a higher rate (it was a fair rate, not high, not low). The base rate is just that. The rate I’m willing to risk for an "ok" meet up. I tend to tip generously for escorts I enjoy my time with, and I have no problem not tipping sub-par or "just adequate" performances.

If I don’t tip, you can be 100% sure I’m not planning on hiring you at any time in the future.

I think that response about charging more was rather graceless on the part of the provider. He should have just accepted your nice tip with an expression of gratitude.
