Ladder Theory

If you already haven't heard about it, don't miss this chance to check it out! Its a hilarious, meaningful, "scientific" look at the purpose of life (which, you guessed right, is to move up the ladder). Its a very noble attempt by a certain Dalas Lynn to explain sexual attraction and the way its different for men and women.

Ladder Theory explainedor This one

The crux of it is this - men - we place women we know on the ladder. On top are the women we would give anything to make it with, then the women we have a chance of making it with, then the women we would mess around intoxicated and admit to it, and then the women we would mess around when drunk and not admit to it. The motive is to simply move up the ladder.

For women, its not that straighforward ( of course!). They have not one, but TWO ladders - the ladder of sexual interest (like men) and then the ladder of friends. The trouble for men is that its not easy to guess which ladder you are on. In between the 2 ladders is a dark, deep abyss. If you make a move and you turn out to be on the right ladder and things work out, great! If you are on the friends ladder, don't realize that, and make a move - you fall deep into the abyss (which isn't so bad for most men anyway - there is a short period of embarassment and awkwardness, then we dust ourselves, and move on our merry ways..).

And then there is the idea of an "intellectual whore" - "oh, you are so funny! oh, it was so nice spending time with you! oh, its always so interesting to talk to you!", while all along she is saying, "but sorry hun, you ain't gettin none!!" Admit it guys, how often have you found yourself to be the intellectual whore? With me? - shamefully admit, way too often! You know whats the most annoying tag - "nice guy"!!
