Yeah, in fact, devote your entire future to the planning and execution of small, petty gestures meant to humiliate people who will neither notice or care.

:laugh:

sounds about right.

Well, i actually went and it went amazingly well! Didn't get kicked out, either! Although the girl that i mentioned in L&R did call me out for what i did that day and the host mentioned some other stuff, but the host's parents forgave me and let me stay.

But i guess i learned an important lesson today:

Be reasonably nice to girls(without supplicating, of course), because if not they may get in the way of future socialization attempts.

Yeah, I'm a man, and sticking it to her is actually the main reason I'm going, to show her I'll go whenever i please.

problem solved.

:beer:

Edit: just read your post in L&R.

It seems like you're a horrible decision-maker in life. If your instinct is to crash this party to get in this girl's pants, it will not go well. You should probably just give up and stay at home for the next 4 years; esp if you think how you acted in your AP history class is in any way "cool" or acceptable in the real world of social interactions. You know, where people don't care about your High School drama.

I just don't know the difference between being a jerk and high school drama and being socially dominant, seeing how from the Ladder Theory women prefer men who don't bow down and supplicate to them, but are confident and don't take crap.

I just don't understand the difference. Besides, I'm not interested in getting in a girls pants or anything, i'm just wanting to go to hang out with my friends and have a good time.

Ladder Theory != life.

The point of invitations is to inform guests that they are wanted. Ergo, if you did not receive one you are not wanted. Do not attend unless you are invited by the hostess verbally or in writing, or unless she SPECIFICALLY tells one of her friends to invite you. (The friend saying they think it would be ok does not count.)

Like, just a little thing in the park or something?

Or would i be safe if I went in uninvited(eg. not risking getting beat up or even worse humiliated and kicked out, as most of the host's male friends are my friends as well)?

Yes, throw your own party and invite whoever you want. Going uninvited is rude and risks embarrassment for you. The hostess might be cool with it (if she's a good hostess, she'll act cool with it even if she's not actually happy with you), but even so it is rude on your part.

[edit] Saw that you went anyway. What type of party did it turn out to be?

It was a dance party, for the host's birthday. Was pretty fun, too! Got in the dance circle with the other people and started shaking the night away! The host wasn't mad at me at all!

Ladder Theory != life.

So you mean the ladder theory and all the other theories that go along with it aren't true?

Yep. People are too complex and varied to be accurately summed up in a few descriptive pages.
