This is true, but kindly link me to some reviews that say ONLY "hugging, talking, and crying" in the ROS. 
They might want that as well, but most escort dates either start or end with the things you mentioned. I have yet to see a girl make it in this business, from JUST talking. I've had guys drop six bills for only a handjob, but they still got OFF. The only time I have been paid and not had sex of some kind, was for a meet and greet to see if we would have sex in the future.
I mean let's get real here for a minute. A "classy" lady as you say, would have no need to be posting her naked body all over the net, if she is ONLY looking to attract men who are NOT seeking her for sexual reasons. Last I checked, most of us do in fact show some body parts, or at the very least what our figure looks like. They are not exactly staring into our hearts and minds, with our tits and ass hanging out. So, if what you present contradicts what you're saying...well, ooops. If I were here to attract guys with my mind, I would post my transcripts and my resume, not photos of my body so they can see how much I weigh and how big my boobs are. I would also not link to my reviews which do what...give them an account of what I deliver SEXUALLY.

Some counter thoughts.
1) There is no doubt that in the end, hobbyists looking on escort related sites are looking for some kind of pseudo guaranteed intimacy. If we weren't, we'd be spending our online time looking at eharmony, match.com, etc.. If we were looking for someone to discuss our issues with, we'd seek out a psychologist/psychiatrist/religious figure. Frankly, there's a good chance they've tried those avenues in some capacity. Goodness knows I have to some extent.
2) That said, there's a fantasy for many men that the guaranteed intimacy is also going to come with some kind of attention being focused on us, whether real or feigned, that's not necessarily physical in nature.
Not all men, for sure. And those men are usually the ones most baffled by why anyone would pay a premium for a provider. Just get your rocks off for the best price possible by someone you're willing to fuck, and move on to the next one. The nice thing about those men is that there's no issue with them becoming clingers, but if the customer base only consisted of those men, it would put a big price compression on providers, too.
However, the very men you're whining about, are often the kind of personality types who are willing to pay the highest premiums for longer sessions. And they're certainly the men who keep the experienced escorts well heeled. Not to say you shouldn't whine about them. That crap would be irritating as all get out. But there is a value to having that kind of personality involved in the business, at least on the provider side. For most hobbyists, and the prices hobbyists end up paying, it would be better if they kept out altogether.
3) You're being completely obtuse with your suggestion to find reviews talking about "ONLY hugging, talking, and crying."
Why do men write reviews? There's only a few reasons I can think of. They either want the free credit, or they feel a sense of obligation to contribute to a community through reviews because of the value they've personally derived. Well, and I guess the very male desire to brag about bedroom exploits, which is ingrained in all of guys. And, if the person was good, to hopefully send more business their way, or if they were bad, to hold them accountable or otherwise get some kind of perceived payback for the bad experience.
But there is a risk in writing a review. It's a harsh audience. You don't have to have access to ROS to see that. There are certainly plaudits for a well written, or otherwise effective review, but guys who don't give adequate information, or write poorly, or otherwise do not appease the Coliseumesque audience, are thoroughly pummelled.
The reaction to some poor bastard who wrote he spent his $300+/hr "hugging, talking, and crying" would only be solved by signing up under another handle. It would simply be unacceptable. Which is not to say such session don't occur, although I'm sure it's extraordinarily rare. I can't even conceive of the notion of something like that appearing in a review. And as I've indicated, if it did, the person would have to get a different handle.
4) One of the things I actually like about these message boards, is that I do get a chance to peek into the hearts and minds of providers. And, actually, that is important to me. Although I do understand it's not to the vast majority of people. I spent a long time trying to figure out who in the world I would contact, and I can say with a great deal of certainty if I hadn't liked her posting style on Eccie, I wouldn't have.
That said, this industry is not going to survive depending on my personality type, so I'm more of the exception that proves the rule. In other words, I agree with what you're saying, I just know for a fact it's not universal.
