Applying Business Models to Relationships with Women

[poster_guy03]

For all you business types out there,

In the Losing Plates thread I describe the a framework for applying marketing principles (product life cycles and product portfolio management) to plates.

What other business models (quantitative or consumer behavior in particular) can we use as analogs for explaining some DJ principles and practices to help newbies learn the DJ way?

Supply & Demand and it's effect on the cost/value of a woman.

Women act completely retarded and AFC's will still beg them for a whiff of their coochie. Women will continue to get worse behavior-wise because they CAN. The "cost" will go up, up, up until even the AFC's refuse to "buy" what women are "selling". Then the cost will come down, or, the quality/value will increase to meet the cost.

An example is the abundance of fat chicks in the midwest. They can be fat because they STILL GET LAID. If they didn't get laid, they'd go to the gym and work out. (Unfortunately, women often just turn to a vibrator/dildo/lesbian to compensate instead of addressing their issues.)

Since the product is in demand, the price can increase. If there was no demand, the price would decrease and/or the quality would increase.

I'm a firm believer and proponent of the Supply/Demand model for women! That's the main one but there's lots of business/market models that could apply to women but I'd need to crack open a business book to refresh my memory. Bandwagon is one that comes to mind...basically anything that applies to the irrational, impulsive and stupid consumer applies to women lol.

Another point is women have almost a socialism support system (governmental and societal backing), while men are working in an almost dog-eat-dog, winner take all capitalist system.

I tried to make the correlation between the economics of business and the economics of relationships awhile back, and true to form, I got blasted for even trying to draw a parallel.

I see it clear as day. You can find many similarities between the two, but it tends to burst some people's notion of the "magic" behind it all.

Vulpine's analogy is dead on! He is exactly right, when men stop tolerating the antics of modern women, they will change their ways accordingly, and NOT A SECOND SOONER.

Another economic parallel we can draw is investment vs. return. How much time and money you invest in a woman vs. the return you get in terms of pvssy, good behaviour, how much she contributes back (moneywise or timewise), etc

Buy "low", sell "high".



Chumps are paying too much both financially and emotionally for something whose shelf-life isn't worth the expense.



Cheers!

Initial cost, TCO, opportunity costs, all sorts of economic principles map perfectly to relationships. Some people refuse to see what they don't like. Take Rollo always saying "everyone pays" which is countered by someone clueless piping up with "Noooo, women buy ME drinks" ....

Open yer eyes boys, and someday you can be men.

In the world of Keynesian economics your talking about the quantity demanded (d) and it's relationship to price of the good in question. That functional relationship is defined as demand (D).

Applying DJ principles in the market can change the shape of the demand curve entirely... I've just not quite thought through what DJ principles shape the D curve in what way.....

My econ background isn't as strong as my marketing background so I'll have to ponder this some more...... I suspect something like substitute goods (another woman, hobbies, interests) are possible areas to think about for changing the shape of the demand curve (D).

Some remarks on "supply and demand" applied to women.The demand for women is highly "inelastic" (people will buy the product regardless of the price; other products that exhibit an inelastic demand are basically luxury goods).Nevertheless I would like to stress that, at least from my observations, what causes this inelastic demand for is not the regular AFC but the rich men (AFC or not). Rich men can afford to spend money on most of things, women included. One can say "well, yeah, but they do not spend money on EVERY woman". True, but the "not-so-lucky" women will find out (through friends,media,and so on) and applying the bandwagon-effect will EXPECT or DEMAND a similar treatment from their less-wealthy males."If Jenny can get that ring I deserve it as well". Now, what if the rich guy is NOT an ACF but a player and instead of spending money on women, women spend money on him (Second case scenario)?.Women see him as a prize as we all know and they will fawn allover him to win his attention. If the prize is "won" the lucky winner feels she is entitled to get part of the loot (his wealth) (other women find out, bandwagon effect and same thing happens as above).
Third case scenario.The rich Non-AFC cannot be seduced.The woman gets a taste of his wealth anyway,she likes it and decides she is entitled to such wealth.Since she cannot trap him she will try to find another "victim".Rinse and repeat.
Forth case (and last one). Eventually, the female cannot attain a high-fly male.She will settle down for one with less wealth BUT sooner or later she will push him to climb higher on the society's ladder.
So, as I see it, is that regardless how many AFC there are, a single rich man (AFC or not) is enough to cause an inelastic demand for women.It is what is and we have to live with that.

One of the problems with the typical business model is that it talks in terms of goods/services being exchanged for money. Sexual relationships should be seen in more of a barter system.

I once worked for a company whose basic business philosophy was “quick and dirty”, kick out enough cheap stuff at low enough of a price and money will be made. Except for a few at the top, this was a miserable operation, employees where pushed to ever high speeds with negligible increases in their meager pay. The customers got crap that often didn’t work as advertised – and “No! We will not give you a refund”

After leaving that company I began working for another with an entirely different approach. In the second company the idea was that we would create the best products possible and offer comprehensive customer support. Their products were the best around and sold for top dollar. Headed by those who well understood that it was a cooperative effort that made the company so successful, the wealth was spread around and everyone was happy.

To each man, each woman has a certain relative value and likewise, to each woman, each man has a certain relative value. With our relative value we try to buy a person of the opposite sex of our greatest value. As market prices are often just what people will pay, ones value is measured by the quality of one’s partner.

In other words, your value as a man is measured by the value of the women that you can attract and the relationships that you have with them. You can be like the company that did it quick and dirty but you’ll just get the women who are quick and dirty. But the best women, the ones with most value will walk on past Wal-Mart, no matter how low the prices, preferring the upscale shops up the street where they find the better product man.
