To some degree, yes.  More often than not, price reflects looks.  It's well known that women who are considered really hot can charge more just based on that alone.  So it is "supply and demand" in the sense.  And she might provide great service, but I've been with women who are "cute" who provide awesome service for cheaper.

Actually I love this discussion. And thank you for not saying "no piece of a$% is worth ____".
I would have to say no, price is not equal to quality. There are many reasons for this. One is that each and every lady is priceless and worth way more than any of you could ever pay. She chooses her rates based on how much she feels her time is worth and how often she wants to work. Believe me, I have friends who charge twice as much as me and half as much, and I don't feel that you could say that the quality of the lady or the experience is 3 times better with the higher priced companion than the lower priced one.
Now there is a level of exclusivity when you spend time with a lady that the general public cannot afford. She is able to devote more time to you because she doesn't have someone else to see later that night. In fact you may be her only suiter that entire week. Where as a high volume lady who charges less may be visiting with 6 guys that same day. That may or may not matter to you. But, dont ever think that just because you pay more then you are going to get more in the XYZ department. You will probably get more alphabet soup from a $50 girl than a $5000 lady. Although you may feel more comfortable out to dinner with the later.
Choose the lady that best fits you. Then pay whatever it takes. If she is the right lady for you it is a bargain at any price.

Too many variables involved to be honest. A lot depends on what you are looking for. I used to see a couple of absolutely beautiful Brazilian women who were sexual dynamos but the deal was $160 for one pop and you are outa' there! After a while I met a couple of higher priced lady's who were a lot better at setting the mood. All else being equal the sex was about the same but I wanted more. I found what I was looking for in the $$$  price range and that's what works for me. It doesn't mean there are not some great ladies at a lower (or higher) price but I'm happy with the gals I am seeing right now. It's all in what works for you. If everybody wanted to pay what I pay I guess Craig's list wouldn't exist....

Heck no!

Granted, I'm a mature provider, but I think I'm in reasonably good shape. I actually lowered my donations a few years back because I provide incall now and I wanted to give something back to the community, especially when there was so much going on with everyone at that time. Plus, being an independent does have its perks. I don't have to pay a fee to anyone. This is only part time for me and although I could use and like the extra money, "I'm not a revolving door" so to speak. I don't do more than one appointment in a day (not that there's anything wrong with it) and I don't always like to fill my entire week (although I could). Perhaps I just wanted to be fair and set a donation where I don't have to occasionally offer discounts. My donations are for everyone so no man feels he is getting a bargain over someone else. I may spend extra time on several occasions to show my appreciation but some men who were grandfathered in at a different donation are actually getting a better deal now.  Also, from a marketing standpoint, it's is easier to get 20s out of the ATM than 10s. Think about it.

P.S.  Everyone has a different reason for setting their donations. Sure, I used to get a whopping $400 four years ago, but times have changed and I was also with an agency. My outcall is a little more because of gas prices and the time it takes to drive back and forth from the date.

When I started 250 was the norm. Service was good and I thought more would be better and started seeing 300/350 ladies and I will say serviced fell.

I see an analogy in the price/quality discussion with my two other hobbies, golf and wine. One can pay $1,000 per hour for a provider, $500 for 18 holes, or $300 for a bottle of wine (for example.)

Or one can pay more down to earth prices for any of the above and be completely satisfied. Would I be more satisfied if I moved up to the higher price category in any of the above hobbies? Probably not - I would definitely have some bragging rights, but I doubt that I would be more satisfied in the end.

It's all relative.

Re: Do you think price a indication of quality?

Might not be getting my posting placements right. My reply was directed toward no one. I was simply putting my .02 in the hat of public opinion. There are no hard and fast rules for anything at all. except math! every rule has an exception. except in math!lol it all comes down to what the gentleman is comfortable with and what the lady is comfortable with at the end of the day

Re: Do you think price a indication of quality?

Wow.  This topic can spark some emotion  

Within reason, I don't think the rates are necessarily connected to the level of service.  But there is a point where you get what you pay for.  If you hit up CL and grab one of the really inexpensive providers there, you can't expect the same quality as a well established, well reviewed companion.

To appease any CL supporters getting ready to jump me, I applaud you if you managed to find a diamond in the bucket of coal.
