Yes, in order to provide the service desired they would need to do this.

There's a little more to it than that.

Specificly, the fact that one of the major draws of these services
is that those who sign up are a) in the position to pay these high
fees and b) serious enough about a relationship to bother.  Clearly
this does not necessarily apply to the women that receive these 
discounts.  And yes I have heard the gold-digger stories too.  So
if men in the service assume they will be meeting only women at a
certain professional level, they are not receiving the service they
contracted for.
