Its old but i find some of the stuff in there quite interesting.

It is a satirical approach at the way men and women categorize others into their 'relationship' matrix.

Shown it to many people and the women i've shown it to agree that many things in there are very true.

Take a look and see for yourselves.

The Ladder Theorist, whoever he or she is, but I'm guessing "he", wrote:
b***h -- 99.999% of women. Note for men: I know they are. Note to women: yes, you are in this group. More accurately it is a woman who is not honest about whyshe won't sleep with you. Or sometimes, just a woman who won't sleep with you. And of course women who won't admit the basic truth of Ladder Theory.

as*hole -- 99.999% of men. Note to women: I know they are. Note to men: I know you aren't really, and that it's just an act to get women. Essentially it is a man who acts like a man.


:lol: :lol: :lol:

I think the reality of it all is everyone's just too apprehensive these days to be happy or give the right person a chance. Everyone circularly pole or pie-blocks themselves, goes for what comes easiest, and unfortunately what comes easiest is usually the worst thing to have.

The author of that site is bitter and has some personal issues to resolve, but sadly a lot of the stuff he writes is true. :(

I am increasingly suspicious of new members who within days of joining immediately post stuff about the ladder theory, alpha male guides, and pick-up artistry. I'll believe that you're real, but it seems awfully coincidental that this is occurring with such frequency, given the low quality of these materials.

Rest assured that I won't be visiting the ladder-theory site again. Once was enough. :lol: Incidentally, gwenevyn, "b***h" is used quite differently in Australia, depending on whether you are male or female. When used by a female speaker, it means "any woman thinner than oneself." When used by a male speaker, it means "female, age irrelevant, who has bested me in any endeavour." :D

Yeah, I've been seeing similar things on different topics as well (stuff that's more than a little agendafied).

Thats it DEAL ME OUT!

I was aloof and dated and had fun in my 20s .
If this is what it really all comes down to forget it. I'm retired.

You just made up my mind.

Yes I am very good looking. Yes I have a VERY stacked bank account. YES OH YES! I am "Novel". BUT . . . . ( to Quote John Merrik)

" I am NOT AN animal . I - AM- A - HUMAN - BEING!"

I'm glad I wasnt "aware" of all this pick up crap when I was dating around.
I feel sorry for any young man who is aware of it now.

Excuse me, I feel like brushing my teeth and washing my hand now.

The theory is written by a man who obviously doesn't have the slightest clue about women, which is why he's so bitter. Hmm, that seems unfamiliar. :?

Are you SURE ?

I'm REALLY naive*.

I see the covers of Cosmo and now this stuff.

What a lot of it comes down to is trying to teach people how to act like theyre acting natural, which is what over analizing ANYTHING does the opposite of!

Damn I think my brain just went crosseyed!

What does ANY of this have to do with Love? WIth striving to care about someone (or thing perverts need love too) more than you care about yourself?

This study stuff is for the birds. Were now more interconected and knowledgable than ever promiscuitys up, so's divorce OBVIOUSLY we're not getting any better at whatever it is were supposed to be studiyng.

I read all the books when I was a pimply faced teen. With a HIGHLITER. You know what I came away with ? From the dinner table to the bedroom? "Take it slow"




( *Piece of advice thats never something good to intoduce yourself with. :( )

Well, he has a lot of support both male and female. What do you have to say about that?

Well, human beings are an animal. We're sort of like a super chimpanzee. The divide between someone like Plato and the average human, is greater than the divide between a chimpanzee and the average human.
