I kinda get the impression some members use compliments as a substitute for tips too. They can't (won't?) tip, so they take it upon themselves to compliment the model every few seconds. In fact, the more I think about it, the guys who I notice incessantly complimenting models in the gushiest of ways possible, don't tend to be tipping all that much. Whereas the guys who are tipping, seem far more interested in getting a show started or just talking to the model, and don't seem to feel the need to find 50 different ways to tell the model how beautiful they are. Maybe tips are the best way to compliment a model - a tip says that the member enjoys the model's company, or that they want to see them naked cos they think they're hot, or both; all without the member having to take the time to articulate an over the top compliment. Plus, compliments can (and in some cases probably should) be construed as disingenous, whereas tips can't :twocents-02cents:
