He used to work in San Francisco. Set up a session with him there. Maybe there's a thread on him from that time. I didn't end up keeping the session because he lived in a super sketchy neighborhood the the cops were parked outside his place because someone had just assaulted someone in his building.
I can't tell if he's actually hot or not. Looks manscaped within an inch of his life, like those guys who work at the lotion kiosks in the Glendale galleria.
There's absolutely no way the provider was asking to be paid after the session in giftcards. That would open them up to a client bringing unactivated giftcards and cheating the provider. Occam's razor... the provider would have asked for the card numbers before sending the details for meeting.
I'm generally too busy with friends and family. But one year I had a work trip in another city over the weekend and made a couple appointments. Besides some odd sentimentality, why would you tip more?
