Default Re: [OT] The Ladder Theory

You want me to deconstruct the whole thing and psycho analyze it...? (Critical thinker extra-ordinaire here!) The theory (crudely) puts forth a standard operating procedure for most inter-gender relationships... it is too simplistic for my tastes, but I know that many guys probably operate on this system. He is missing the need for commitment though (it is more than just a societal expectation, as raising children is very difficult, and we are psycho and biologically wired to desire commitment to ensure our genome's success).

Yeah, I thought that too.
But from the point of view of relations I found it very accurate.

hmmm, I'm not rich and don't have the looks of Tom Cruise. All I got going for me is my sense of humor, I guess the 'ladder theory' explains why my humor leans towards the sarcastic!

...LOL
