Elitism and the obsurdity of democracy....

[Anneliese]

This past week has been one that has been fraught with copious hours of work on the computer, signing up for escort directories and promoting my website, ads and blogs. I spent an entire day today, figuring, creating and sorting out a new web banner for my blog on Tumblr. Yes, I admit I am somewhat obsessive over details…. but as flummoxed as I was, I was equally challenged to conquer this task, and eventually I did. Chalk it up to being blessed with an above average IQ, a minority in our society if statistics can be believed. As I was dispersing my various ads around the escort directories, and seeding the internet with my photos and obscure references, I was very conscious of the fact that I was deliberately limiting my choices of clientele.

”Mature & Sophisticated, let’s discuss Nietzsche and mess around….” is unlikely to appeal to the average Joe looking for a young tight body and a great blowjob! No, rather the horny,older, educated, “thinking man” will come across my ad amongst a sea of explicit ads & photos of seductively perfect bodies by enterprising young women and think…. “Now that is my kinda gal….”

Unfortunately, the older, clever guy is in the minority. It was only recently that it struck me that we live in a society mostly populated by the educationally subnormal, the intellectually challenged so to speak. If we consider that 50% of the population is BELOW a 100 IQ, as 100 is the average level of intellect, and a 100 IQ is indicative of a person who, let’s face it, is not the sharpest tack in the box…. we begin to realize that intelligence is in the minority! It really isn’t until the IQ levels reach 110 and over that we consider a person high average or above the normal.

If we note the Terman Classification scale, we can see how this plays out:


Stanford-Binet Scale of Human IntelligenceIQ Score
145 and overGenius
120–144Exceptional
110–119High Average
90–109Average or Normal
80–89DullDull Normal
70–79Borderline DeficiencyMild disability
50–69MoronModerate disability
20–49ImbecileSevere disability
Below 20IdiotProfound disability
(IQ Reference Chart, Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_reference_chart)


So it begs that question then, is democracy really a good idea? We are asking the majority of the population to make decisions about our political life and economic future, when, chances are they haven’t the foggiest idea what the whole thing means…. I have to say, this thought gave me pause. Now don’t get me wrong here, I am a very liberal feminist and socialist in my philosophy and politics, however, the ensuing years have tempered my radical beliefs to incorporate biological influences and evolutionary theory, not to mention the limits of brain function and the gender differences in brain development. I guess I am saying that I am not entirely sure that democracy is that answer or perfect solution to our political, moral and cultural societal choices.

So what exactly does this have to do with my business as an enterprising escort? Well, rather a lot actually! As a mature woman, raised, educated and socialized in a particular class and status that consisted of academics, and professionals, my niche and business is geared towards appealling to this demographic. Unfortunately, this demographic is in the minority, and as such, by actively marketing to them, I am reducing my potential clientele list substantially.

But that is OK with me. Ultimately, I can’t pretend to be something I am not. I am NOT 20 something, I DON’T have a perfect body with perky tits, I AM a nerdy intellect, and I DO find educated, witty and clever men more attractive than pure good looks.

So despite myself, I am marketing to this small sub sector. It is interesting because, I have had many hobbyist tell me I am charging too much, or no one will want a mouthy old cow like me, but strangely enough, the email keeps coming and the phone keeps ringing…. So maybe my diminished demographic is just enough to support a niche, older escort like me. Just maybe…..

XOXO

50% of the population has to be below the average of 100 and the other 50% has to be above. That's what an average means!

and I disagree with your comment that above average ratings are rarer in the older generation. Look at the demographics published by Mensa.

Hey Oldguyzer,
I state the minority only in that according to the scale, above average starts at 110, so by that definition, the minority, (40%) of the population which includes older gentlemen, and well, all males and females of all ages of above average IQ, are therefore the minority population to the average and below.....

To appeal to the older client, you may also consider a larger font and some timely spacing in your posts. :biggrin2:


For me, I am happy to be Exceptional. ancing:

There is an sp out this way with a similar look and age to you, and her rates are also similar, at 300/hr starting for regular sessions, above that for BDSM types of sessions I believe. I don't think she has any difficulty staying busy. Mature sps who can also be available as an escort for longer sessions are few and far between, and much appreciated by the clients who are seeking them.

If you want to get accurate you need to remember that the IQ scale is not linear, and that to measure "above average" you need to deal with standard deviations from the norm. It is always slightly distressing when people talk about IQ because, quite simply, most don't know what it means and how it is measured.

???.... IQ in the population is shown as a bell curve.... now one can argue the merit of social/cultural bias that skews scoring, but not entirely sure what you are getting at here.... certainly, you seem to be not very pleased with my post, something is annoying you about it... clarify please....

Before I go into more detail lets get you to answer the last two points: what is IQ and how is it measured? And, then, why does it have to be a Bell curve?

Please do me the courtesy of not simply copying Wikipedia. Let me know what YOU think. Your original post seems to excoriate older people for not representing enough of the intelligent population, at least not enough to satisfy you, so I am curious as to what you personally think, not what you can read and paraphrase when asked.

 

[Anneliese]

Oh no, I think you completely miss read my post, or at least my intentions. I am not isolating older persons as having a low IQ, any more or less than any person of any other age group.

The general population regardless of age falls along the bell curve of IQ, and hence if marketing to persons on any age in the upper IQ range, then you are pulling from a smaller market.

That is what I have been trying to say, not trying to be insulting or ageist in any way. I don't think you have been reading my post right. Are you perhaps a little sensitive about the age issue, oldguyzer?

Anneliese

 

[Anneliese]

No worries btw... I too am very sensitive about the age issue..... particularly as I am female.... we are far more denigrated for our age then you males.... so trust me.... I get it!

 

[Jerkthis]

Wow, this thread is way past my IQ level but since I'm in my late 30's I'm hoping there's still a chance for a cement head like me. :biggrin2:

Annaliese, do you have any nude pics? DUH, sorry it's my level of intelligence and testosterone coming through again.

Kidding aside I do agree with you that majority of the population should not have the right to vote. I mean really how did the Liberals win the last vote?? WTF....

I bet if you walk down Yonge St. and ask 50 people to name the Prime Minister, Premier and the Mayor more than half would not know all 3 answers.

a young tight body and a great blowjob! ... seductively perfect bodies

The only thing is, I imagine Nietzsche would consider the unapologetic pursuit of nice bodies and blowjobs to be a quite noble sentiment. And thus he might mistake your disdain for this as indicative of one of the "haters." Like a priest. Then he'd probably throw in some really mean stuff about Jewish people, 'cause that's just the kind of guy he was. Nietzsche's interesting enough, I guess, but I've always suspected his huge appeal lies mainly in the fact that it's fun to say his name and that he allows us to intellectualize being huge assholes to other people.

TAnd thus he might mistake your disdain for this as indicative of one of the "haters." Like a priest.

No disdain at all, just saying that I am marketing to (and need to market to) a clientele that wants more than that, as let's face it, I am not that young woman anymore, so my allure is in offering an experience that is more than just the physical. And hence am pulling from a diminished pool of candidates.

Nietzsche's interesting enough, I guess, but I've always suspected his huge appeal lies mainly in the fact that it's fun to say his name and that he allows us to intellectualize being huge assholes to other people.

Nietzsche has instant recognition and generally gives a visceral response, so in this world of one line forum advertising in a long list of similar enticing posts.... It stands out and offers a potential client an idea of the type of service I am offering. Marketing ploy? Absolutely! This is business baby, and I am in it to make money, so am utilizing whatever innovative and unusual tools and slogans I can to stand out.

As for "intellectualizing being huge assholes to other people...." - that is one perspective, highly critical no less and I suspect a subtle jab and insult aimed at me. So be it.... You can perceive me as an intellectual, elitist asshole.... I guess I will have to mark you down as NOT a member of my potential clientele demographic - sounds like you prefer your SPs to keep their mouths strictly on your C ock , and their opinions to themselves..... Does that constitute a girlfriend experience? I suppose it could if one prefers their girlfriends that way too.... Hmmm.... (Sudden cultural clash exposed here...)

Personally, I am just trying to write interesting posts of the varied obscure thoughts that I ponder from time to time, and stimulate some interesting conversation. An effort I suspect not lost on the owners of this forum who are probably thankful for my contributions to the community. However, should that not be the case, happy to take my "intellectual, & elitist " asshole somewhere else.

Didn't Nietzsche go insane???

... Oh and one more thing. Seems we joined this forum at roughly the same time, and have yet to see you put yourself in the firing line of starting a thread. Easy to be an armchair critic when you never have to put yourself or your potentially controversial opinions out there open to public character assassination.

 

[oldguyzer]

Anneliese stop being so defensive! Not everything is a criticism of you or your posts!
