The Muted Bravado of a SMG

Ladder Theory

If you people haven't heard of this before, I suggest you check it out here.

Its a humourous quasi-scientific take on male-female relationships, that actually rings true when you get right down to it.

To summarise, it basically states that men and women classify each other into ladders upon meeting. Men have only one ladder, where the higher up a woman is on the ladder, the more he'd want to have sex with her. Likewise, the lower she is, the less likely he'll want to do anything with her. Whereas for women, they have two ladders. One is the real ladder, which has guys she would want to have sex with, and the other is the friends ladder, which has guys she only wants to be friends with.

There are lots more ramifications and stuff.. like how a goal in life is to get higher on the ladder, how guys who are on the friends ladder but think they are on the real ladder are screwed, yadda yadda.. check out the Ladder Theory site to get the full picture.

Yes its quite a western idea, but replace the idea of "sex" with, I dunno, "romance" or "making out" and I suppose it'll make more sense in our more moderate Asian civilisation.

And the rating system is quite screwed. At least for now la. Maybe its cos we're still young. But I can't imagine being so shallow.. haha.

Barring all that, though. back to Ladder Theory. The majority of my guy friends think its quite true.

Though most girls either deny it or wimp out saying "its only true to some extent".

Girls can't seem to accept that guys only have one ladder.. haha. But I think if you really think about it.. Go read the "criticisms of the ladder theory" bit on the site. And I don't deny that there are exceptions to everything. Nonetheless I'll bet you some of your now-platonic guy friends had mild crushes on you in the past, just that you weren't high up the ladder enough for them to want to make a major play for your affections =)

Mull upon that, ladies! Lol.

Well its getting late. I'll expound more upon this later. Or maybe tmr. Or thursday. When I'm free la.

Once again, you can find the official site of the Ladder Theory here.

**Late Addition**

Sorry bros forgot the required picture of a hot chick for each blog.


A not so good picture of Ase Wang

I would have found a better picture, except I'm kind of lazy la. Shes hot, anyway. I think there was a month she was featured on the covers of both FHM and Newman. Oh get the latest issue of Newman, with the calender. The calender is quite droolsome, wink wink.

*rumblings of displeasure from the ladies*

Uhh i mean the paper quality of course. Very smooth and glossy. Yea. Night.
