There is no doubt in my mind that the theory is pretty much correct in every aspect.
I do think that there is a fairly large disparity in what attracts people to each other. So while the grading does take place and have all the mentioned effects I think the criteria you have to meet to stand a chance to get a good rating on someones ladder vary greatly.
He does cover himself pretty well in that the ladder is only about sex and not relationships. I.E. I will have sex (and have had) with some AMAZINGLY stupid women. But I would not consider them for a relationship. Also I’ll willingly slack a little in the “looks” department if the “personality” is good if it is about a relationship. (this is not done consciously, but it is clearly true in retrospect - it’s just that everybody I happen to be in love with is amazingly beautiful)
No no, you don’t beat the cuddle bitch. You simply move the girl down the ladder or into the friends w/benefits category until you find a replacement that is higher on the ladder. At this time, you kick the girl off the ladder into the abyss.
See, the cuddle bitch knows that the odds are stacked against him as far as jumping ladders. But, the few instances where this has occurred keep him coming back, similar to playing the lottery. The dumber the girl, the better his odds.
NOTE: The reason why it’s important to fight the impulse to immediately drop her into the abyss is as follows: After being demoted, the girl desperately wants to regain her original status and will do anything to accomplish this. This includes sexual favors and it is the man’s duty to accept. It’s crucial that he views this as a severance package, though, and he must drop her when A) sexual activity decreases below an acceptable level or B) a replacement that’s higher on the ladder is found.
Of course the ladder theory does not apply to the .01% out there, but this group is very rare and the only women I’ve met in this group are my mother and my sister.
Ok for all those who think this is true, you are joking right? I sincerely hope there is more to your male/female friendships than trying to get sex. And this ladder crap scarcely leaves room for guys like myself, guys who are waiting until we get married before having sex (religious convictions).
Scrub, you NEVER kick a girl into the abyss, you simply move her down the ladder. Way down the ladder. The only time a girl is kicked off the ladder and into the abyss is when she enters the realm of “Fuck her when I’m drunk, but refuse to admit it.”
I think in some levels it’s true. Not in the “women are all bitches” way. I’ve had this happen to me soooooo many times; I’m way to jaded to believe it isn’t.
i figuerd out women a couple of months ago. Proceeded to brake up with my girlfriend and am now a pussy tease, well as much as a guy like me can be.
What can women possibly offer to me that would make the realtionship worth it?
Ofcourse if there was a T-vixen within, oh, say, four billion miles, then maybe there could be some possibilities…
Whetu: sick to death of women’s shit since febuary 03
Be it known as the one rare day where Karma and I agree on something totally (the article, that is, my expectation was obviously off track – ah! women! wink).
“No, more like one in a million.” “So you’re say’n there’s a chance?!” -Jim Carry and Lauren Holly. Wow there is one woman who’s probably kicking herself in the ass now. lol
I am only 19 years old and I have been saying this for a couple years now. I would change a couple of things maybe … but for the most part it is right on the money.
Probably to test if a guy has balls and won’t put up with their shit.
Too bad for them that I strike them out at the first try of such a maneuver. I can’t respect (and therefore can’t love) a woman who can’t call things by their name or is not confident enough to ask direct questions or that just plain NEEDS to play games to manage some doubt in her mind.
And if she’s gonna test me, she better be cunning enough that I have no idea that she does. I don’t dish out shit, I don’t need any back either. But if I do receive some, it better be instructive. ;0)
