THE VALUE FORMULA

[harpo-my-“SON”Participant 2410]

You only get what you pay for and let the buyer beware are two of the most honest and true statements you will ever hear or make.

Once an exchange has been made, WORTH has been determined period end of story, so suck it up buttercup.

worth=value is a false statement. worth=what is taken in exchange for something. Value=usefulness as perceived by the end user and is never predetermined.

Women use subterfuge to gain value from us ahead of our being able to determine the value or usefulness of the exchange. An example of this is docFendersons post in jobs and careers titled   <span class=”bbp-breadcrumb-current”>You Can’t “Partner” with a Female</span>

 

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.

Great points.

 

But I just want to add that in terms of human beings assigning ‘value’ to goods and services. The perception of value is subjective: based on the person’s own value hierarchy combined with facts of reality. Together they become the value that an individual subjectively gives to a product or service.

In dealing with relationships: the concept of romantic love is an intangible product and/or hybrid type service and men are willing to ‘pay’ different amounts of money and resources for what they subjectively perceive to be value in terms of a woman or women they are with. Women as individuals assign their own subjective value to a guy based on a variety of factors that comprise their hierarchy of values and individual view of the world. A chick that is a 9.5 might value money more than level of attractiveness in terms of guys and ultimately be with an old, fat guy because his value subjectively appears higher if he has millions of dollars. That guy, due to having a surplus amount of wealth will and often does subjectively value the hot bitch he is with at a level that is higher than what a normal guy would: and while spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to maintain his relationship with her (house, jewelry, vacations, etc), she could still be subjectively valued by a guy making $40k a year and his threshold for expending money to bang her might be at or about $500 and that will only be for a couple of hours or a night.

Value is subjective.

A starving family in Alabama would place a high amount of value on a pig, since they could kill it and eat it. Whereas an Islamic fundamentalist would place no value on the pig and would starve before he ate it.

A bottle of water at a convenience store might sell for $1.19. That same bottle, if you were to make it available to a guy that is dying of thirst in the desert might secure a price of $100 if he had the money to exchange for the bottle of water.
