It also goes for the girls..I get emails from other girls wanting to do doubles....but they want ME to set the calls and I am using my incall{so they don't have that expense}..and when I do so,at MY rate,they get upset....there are a few times the girl will be willing to "bargain",but not many

Dallas you have the reputation, the skills, and the fan base that you should be setting the rates that your doubles partners will receive, plain and simple. When you get a request from another provider, that is the time for you to set the rate with that provider and explain to them that you are providing the location, screening of the client and the client themselves. So they know upfront that when and if they do doubles with you they will be compensated that preset amount (even if it is lower than their standard rate). The only fee you might consider that would give your doubles partner a little more would be for travel expenses to your incall, say if they had to travel 50 miles or more, and that could be passed on to the client.
Two possible exceptions:
A particular doubles partner will not settle for less than their standard rate, you can simply specify a special doubles rate with that provider to reflect you both getting the higher rate to your client when they request it and if the dawgs don’t want to pay, they don’t have to play (maybe suggest a different, more Dallas friendly doubles partner). That would be the client’s decision and he would know up front.
Second would be that you were seeking out a partner to satisfy a regular clients’ particular fantasy. Your rate should probably stay the same because the client is a regular. The other provider should be compensated at their rate even if it is higher than yours with the understanding that it’s a once in a blue moon kind of thing.
One final thought – in the first scenario the tips should be split in maybe a 60/40 split favoring the house. In the last two scenarios all tips should go to the house.
This is of course just my personal opinion of the situation.
