I agree with you 100% and could not have expressed it better than you just did.
I feel that every lady and gentleman that is in this community is here for a different reason. Some of us for the benefits, some for the excitement and for myself, it is for my education.
I have seen all aspects of this industry and know that there is always something out there for everyone.
-You have the low end streetwalkers for very low price, no personality, no promises of a good experience and no safety (usually)
-Next you have the ladies that advertise in the printed publications, such as the new times....Not all these are low end, but the majority dont want to spend the time or money on the quality advertising such as websites, etc. Many of these are untrustworthy, unreliable, and you never know what you will get.
-Then you have the agencies.....(not referring to TLC or PhxQts, but rather the cash and dash rip off agencies all over)
You never know what you will get, how much you will be taken for and the fear that some huge guy is waiting outside to get the girl and your money before the hour is up.
-Finally, you have all of our community here on the boards and our online community. You can see what you are getting, can get a good idea of what to expect based on reviews, and generally get more personality, more quality and a better experience overall.
No matter what your taste, preference or style is, you can find something for everyone. If you are looking for quality, this is the first place you look. Every business out there has a competitive edge and when there is no regulation and no one can put a price on another person, there will be differences in pricing. But, the beauty of this is in the eye of the beholder.
If you choose to spend your money wisely, then you should do your homework, get to know the ladies first and then make your decisions on who you see based on that. This board should not be a tell all of the providers out there. Everyone has different experiences that reflect their different personalities and p.o.v.'s. Just like in Advertising, you cannot believe everything you see and hear. Some people kiss and tell too much, more fantasy talk than reality, and some people write biased reviews based on other factors that may be going on in that persons life. Just because there are good and bad reviews, well reviewed and no so frequently reviewed ladies, and expensive pricing or not so expensive pricing, does not mean that there is not something for everyone.
I can say, for myself, that there are many reasons why I do not have pages of reviews. I am in this business to fullfill my education and with the constant studies, I am very selective with whom I spend my time with. I do not take several calls per day, like Isabella was stating, I prefer to be selective with my time and this hobby. This is why some of us ladies are selective, we would rather spend our time per day with someone that we can spoil rotten, treat like a king and make it an experience that will never be forgotten. We do not like to rush, we offer more hours for less per hour, because we would rather spend a whole morning, afternoon or evening with one person as opposed to with several. This makes your experiences much more personalized,and when that happens, you enjoy each other much more. Talk to the lady you are interested in, let her know your situation and the time you are looking to spend with her and i am sure most of the ladies will be happy to tailor something to fit your needs. 
Just my opinion....
Kisses, Madison
