I found this on some thread, just wondering people's actual thoughts on it, or whatever. http://www.laddertheory.com/ I wont exactly say what I think of it, but curious as to other's reactions.
"As to the first point, that of money. Well most guys know that women dig guys with money. Would Donald Trump be fucking models if he wasn't rich? That question is rhetorical. Now I don't even believe this is wrong, I think it is just nature. But I also think women who are this way (and it is almost all of you) should be honest and admit that they are basically whores, and stop saying bad things about the so-called "actual whores" who are just trying to earn an honest living." i think this guy can't get a date. it's really not JUST the money. it's the power, skill, dominance and intelligence that goes along with accumulating and maintaining said wealth. yeah, it may be hard for some people to understand, but all that power is a his particular peacock's tail. some women go for the poor musician and love it. but it makes it harder to raise te kids you want to have. that's where money comes in. being the supermom is not it's all cracked up to be. a man with a healthy nest egg and fabulous nest to boot is helpful. so, yeah, we DO care about that other 10% of stuff we talk about. just many women give up and settle.
As far as girls having two ladders: the relationship ladder and the friends ladder, I completely agree. I got really close to a girl and thought everything was well and good until I asked her out and got "i like you too much to go out with you" (which i translated to 'lets just be friends'). So as the site puts it, I tried to jump from the friends ladder to the relationship ladder, got kicked in the head, and fell into the abyss.
yea I have a friends ladder and a relationship ladder haha... I also believe that I can be friends with exes and have straight male friends but many disagree so I guess that's my naivity. I don't care about money but power truly is an aphrodisiac (I will date a guy without power just power helps)... so I sound like a total bitch typing this but I'm just being true to myself
I find it only natural to want a relation with someone more powerful, wealthy, it helps to secure your life, and also, the ones who earn that money and power usually can have really good attributes. If you could have some nice person/w.e, or a nice person/w.e with money/power, which would you choose? The wealthier one, unless the former proves to be "the one" or some stuff like that.
I can agree to some extent how guys dont just have friends who are girls. I mean, generally I think you meet a girl, and of course you obviously notice her features, and attributes, if it becomes a relationship or friendship, most men would still have thought about having sex with them, and put them on a "ladder" or rating compared to other women. Doesnt mean they cant be really good friends, just means he has thought about it before, and might still, but it's very natural.
