Anyone who says there's no correlation between price and looks/performance isn't paying attention.

Typically high price reflects a premium provider - either on the basis of looks, performance, or both.

We all know providers who command a premium based mostly on performance (I know I don't have to name names,) and we also know providers that do so based on looks alone (ditto). It's a much rarer situation to have both qualities in spades, in one provider. But there are a lot of other factors at work - I've definitely know providers who I've really cliqued with who set prices that were intended to encourage repeat visits - they concentrated on having frequent visits with a select group of clients. Others use pricing to keep their overall volume down but probably have less repeat clientele.  

So, is there a absolute relationship between price and looks/performance? Absolutely not. But is there a combination of factors that definitely include looks, performance, attitude, etc., that go into setting the provider's price? Definitely.

I know this is a highly subjective system.  When you grade do you take price into mind? For example if she is $400/hour vs. $250/hour would you give her the same grade in looks or performance? Personally, I think if I paid more I would expect better looks and performance vs. a $250 girl which I might give better grades because of price.

but have been around the hobby awhile. I've written 3 in the last week or so, that thought never occurred to me/

Your conception that the higher price translates into higher performance, I think, is wrong.  I have been with many providers for $250 that were far superior to the $350-$400 level, but mostly the higher priced ladies are better looking.  Just like in porn, the prettiest girls can (not always) get away with less a performance and the less pretty girls need to perform very well to make it. There are always exceptions of course. As for rating, it should be based on the actual performance, not on how much you paid, just my 2 cents.

Providers are not stupid.. If she is that hot looking and I don't think she will charge only $250..  And if she only charging you $250.00 must b a very good reason.

I know ladies who charge 250 because that is the donation with which they are comfortable.  It could because of personal needs such as bills being due and they need business.  I have seen ladies at that rate and had a wonderful time.  I would agree with you if you are talking about back page girls

The fees charged by a provider have nothing to do with the TER grading system. The grading system is  really nothing more than an individual hobbyists subjective assessment of a particular providers appearance and performance. It is ostensibly a tool you can use in determining whether to schedule a session with a provider, with the caveat and understanding that personal bias plays a large role. The price that a provider charges is simply another tool/factor that you assess when deciding whether you want to see someone. The fact that a provider charges a certain fee really has no impact on her physical attributes, or whether she satisfies your particular needs during a session. You may feel that she is overcharging/undercharging, but that is an entirely different issue, and can be duly noted in your comments.

........in general I have not seen a direct relationship between the fee and the looks or service.

... "self-fulfilling prophecy" factor. If I shelled out $500 for an hour encounter, I might be grading higher than what really should have been because I wouldn't want to feel like I wasted money.

I posted about this effect a while ago - you're totally right, we are psychologically inclined rate highly something that we've spent a lot on - we're not suckers, right?

I like this answer.

Would you rate a Ford or a Chevy on the same 0-10 scale as a Mercedes or a Delorean or a Lamborghini? Just wondering. I think "bang for the buck" has to play into the equation somewhere. If I paid 50,000 fo a Ford Fusion it better have a very f****ing good radio! Lol

Great example. I would like to use this example to get another point across which is brand value.
Merc, BMW, etc.. also charge more because of the brand value. Which is the case with porn stars. I am not sure if porn stars are worth 2-3 times the price of a good escort but people pay that price for getting the good feeling of banging a porn star just like people love driving an nice car.

Let's just pretend this is a business.  You with me?  By sensual capital I mean the fancy website, the lovely touched up photos, the immaculate array of wardrobes on visual display...just tap the screen and up comes the next one!  This level of sensual capital comes with expectations and a $400 + price tag.   Now take a simple backpage add, a few selfies, and the $250 sticker.  The grading system evens this out.  If enough $250 providers keep blowing away the ratings they likely invest in sensual capital become $400 material.  Or if the $400-$800 starlet starts to take her perch for granted and the grades start to slip, well its like any other business, sink or swim.  Ratings level out the playing field, a terrain in constant flux.

I consider the donation to be an entry fee that gives you access to the girl's time.  What happens thereafter is a matter of looks, performance and connection.  These are the 3 things uppermost in my mind when writing a review.  I've noticed the higher priced gals tend to rate out higher in my mind, but then again, my ATF is not a "higher priced gal" and yet she is a dynamite package, for me, of looks, talent and connection.

I see scores that just don't match what they write in the details. Or high scores on a girl that isn't cute. I think the reviews are so skewed - especially in Chicago- that I don't even pay attention to my numbers anymore, just what is written.

I think you should rate on a scale of 1 to 10 and not factor in the price. If you had an experience with a girl who you think warranted a "7" then just rate her a 7. I don't think the score should be upgraded or lowered based on the price because that will just throw an extra variable into an already very subjective grading system.

But if you just rate based on your experience, than it keeps things simple.

And then people can look at a girl's reviews and think..........

1) Hmmmmmm, this girl only scored a 7 but she is charging $400-$600 per hour?!?

or

2) WOW!! This girl scored a 7 and she is only charging $150 per hour!!

But in that second scenario, if you rated the girl a 9-10 simply because you paid a great rate, then people will have the wrong expectation when they see her. Let them judge for themselves if your 7 score is worth the $150 or $400-$600 price.

My suggestion is to keep the price out of the score review.

Other than at years end to think damn I could have bought a _______. My tens were subjective to the moment. One was sweet and a screamer which was awesome because that was a first. The other was sweet made me feel like a king,  most relaxed I'd felt in years.
