Ivy League Escort

"....real world situations elude them entirety." A bit of exaggeration, Benjamin.

 

I said it in relation to some of the IL'ers I've met. I didn't blanket statement and say they all were that way.

 

It wasn't exaggeration... It's from my personal experiences.

I have audited about twelve liberal arts course at Penn. And I talk to the student. Absolutely not true concerning students who transfer to Penn in their third year of college.

 

There is no way for you to know unless you ask directly.

 

You usually are not in favor of sweeping statements like your original post. How many Ives? Not sure: perhaps eight. students study education, nursing, engineering, arts& science and business

You're still missing the point.

 

We're talking about MY experiences, not yours.

 

I wasn't making a blanket statement about Ivy Leaguers: I was referring to the circle of people I know personally who fit this behavior/personality.

Are you writing about friends? I respect you. And I wouldn't have disagreed if I had the same experience as you.

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

Yessir. People I know personally. Harvard-heads as my family liked to call them.

 

These are the kinds of people who have to find a way to shoehorn in a Harvard mention into every. single. group. discussion.

Nothing to add here. By the way, did I mention I went to Stanford?

I taught freshman English at an Ivy League school. Plenty of bright ones. Also some “legacies”, sweet lads but dim. So dim. Their families got them in, families without whom the school would likely not exist. A fair trade. One of them was crew. Such a lovely lad. I hope he married well. His only hope going forward.

If I planted ivy in my belly button, could I possibly schedule a date with BN? Kevin Slater?

I suspect you would have better luck texting ‘em! ?

Lori Loughlin and husband were just on the news this morning for their court appearance for the college admission scandal. Looks like the ivy has been fertilized with money-ure.

I don't even think about an escort's education. I notice a large number of profiles say "college-educated," but if I was thinking about hiring a guy, the absence of that in a profile wouldn't make a difference. I will say that I have never hired a guy who wasn't bright and at least a decent conversationalist.

 

The one time I wished a guy would keep his mouth shut was when I saw a well known masseur in LA some years ago. I cringed every time he said something, he was so dim.

[Rudynate]

I think you are correct since he lists Chinese as his other spoken language. And there are many great escorts that are also non-English speakers. However, if you are advertising that you are "Ivy-league educated" and someone who is great at having conversation, you probably want an advertisement that makes it sound like you could have one in English.

 

One of my favorite escorts is Brazilian and his ad had several grammatical issues, but he didn't advertise in a way that made his grammar stand out. This escort trying to go for an educated, higher-end clientele is going to have problems attracting them with his copy. And since he has only had one review on RM since he created the ad over a month ago, it's quite possible he is having difficulty attracting them.

 

 

I have spent my career in Silicon Valley, a very diverse, international place. Even at the C-level, it is common to encounter highly-educated, highly qualified people whose English isn't quite perfect. One learns to look at the whole person and to overlook the occasional grammatical error or misspelling.

Non-Ivy.

 

Don’t worry. Just cover the bed in your escort graphs....I’ll still fuck you.

I did a university Ph.D grad program with most of the fellow students being from Korea or Taiwan. They definitely did not have perfect English but the expectation was all of their writing to be done in very good English. I often helped do a round of copy edits for my classmates but they often also had their work looked at by others as well.

 

Obviously a very different circumstance, but I would say that this young man could benefit from someone looking at his copy. He has enough mistakes that it's noticeable that he is not a native English writer. Since he is advertising as an "Ivy-league" escort, there are probably many clients that would expect someone more fluent in English than he likely is.

Not for me, I lik'em dumb and blond (metaphorically speaking, of course.)

[ChrisWydeman]

Yeah his grammar is atrocious. "Perfect for higher end occasions, always presentable." Where exactly is the subject and verb in that sentence? And he hyphenates well-traveled, well-educated and well-dressed even though they are not being used as compound adjectives and doesn't hyphenate Ivy League or higher end when they are.

I earned a masters from one of the top 10 universities in the country and my grammar and spelling isn't the best. If you have a diminished view of someones intelligence because they haven't composed a sentence to your grammatical standards it might behoove you to revaluate views. He messed up a little on his ad, big deal, I know many bright escorts who have had grammatical errors on their ad. While grammatical issues may grab your attention, eagerness to diminish someone else grabs mine. Rather than spend your time knitting's picking someone maybe you could do something more productive?

Precisely, grammar mistakes are easy to make, and not everyone is a native speaker. I often see errors when I reread things here that I had posted earlier, and even typos can look like grammatical errors rather than simple stuff-ups. I would make an exception (and obviously this doesn't apply to ads) when someone makes a grammatical error while critiquing one someone else had made.

I am not making any comment on the escort's intelligence and even acknowledge that it's likely because he is a non-native speaker. I have hired many escorts with grammatical errors in their ads. It's no big deal to me. I am just a former journalist and copy editor so I notice errors, even while making them in my own writing. I have actually copy-edited a few ads of a couple of my regulars and they appreciated it. I do think that having several noticeable errors in an ad could be a bit of red flag for some people who are hiring, especially when you are advertising your conversation skills. You might wonder if the escort will be able to speak well in English, although of course often many people can speak a language better than they can write it.

I think clueless, dim, gorgeous guys are SO adorable.

But the gals... SO annoying.

Did you teach George Bush by any chance:p

[BgMstr4u]

Unfortunately, no. He could have profited from what I offered.

[loremipsum]

I'm wary of escorts that are too clever. He only needs to be smart enough to know to use protection.

 

Why’s that?

 

Somehow I’m vaguely reminded of “that lean and hungry look.”
