    http://www.laddertheory.com/ (don't miss the links on the left side that explain it all in detail...)

    Do you agree that within the first few moments of meeting someone for the first time, you subconciously decide how far you would go with them? Do you agree that though it sounds shallow, that some people are to many "steps" up the ladder for you and that others are too many steps down the ladder for anything to happen relationship-wise between you?

    At first I had a problem with this theory because it seemed so shallow, but then reality set in and I am starting to feel like this is pretty accurate.

    What do you think of this?

    Like most dating theories, it's only true for random bar hookups and similar types of relationships. It does not apply to a real relationship.

    i was told about the ladder theory a year or so ago (i didn't realize it had a site til now) and yes i think it is pretty true minus that not all girls want an outlaw biker (or alot are too scared to act on wanting an outlaw biker).

    it has some valid points... I wouldn't say it's 100% true, but the friends ladder and the people you want to fuck ladder is true for me at least (admittedly the latter ladder is much shorter than the former). At least they didn't just say money as a big attraction factor, but included power as well... power over one's self is much more attractive to me than a big wallet

    From everyone you talk to around here in High School or College, this is pretty much hitting the nail on the head.

    There are always exceptions to every rule, however this holds true around here.

    Unfortunately.
    Good thing I already have a girl.

    Dude, hang onto her. I hear ya. Sure I will often think about what it would be like with "X", but knowing you have a wonderful girl that loves you, at the end of the day all of this other stuff can drift away and you still have true love.
