Ladder Theory is bunk.

Aight, I'm getting sick of hearing people make commentaries on my relationships and on their own based on the crap posted at intellectualwhores.com

Ladder theory, while a somewhat decent approximation of observed social interaction, is NOT the way things work. Think of inter-gender relationships as a basketball. And Ladder Theory is one of those silly boxes that they put basketballs in in retail stores so they can stack them up nice and pretty. It's a pretty decent approximation of the size of the basketball, but it completely distorts the shape. Anyone who's had a functional relationship and has paid careful attention to the nuances of what goes on should be able to agree.

The primary fallacy is that it reduces the emotions of everyone EXCEPT the cuddle b!tch to actual conscious thought. In addition, it completely disregards the existance of preferences... for everyone except the cuddle b!tch. Though the author never states what inspired him to write that crap... It should be pretty damned obvious.

www.intellectualwhores.com and I never mentioned people bashing my posts. I know exactly why people bash my posts - because they're jealous of my imminent badassery.

I don't know, I think ladder theory is actually fairly on the mark if you generalize with it. Women really do 2 ladders whereas men have 1. Also, women do prefer power. It really makes a lot of good points. Take it how you'd like.

You should treat ladder theory like you should treat the Bible; take it however you want, but don't use it as a specific guideline.

Oh, and that wiki article is wrong. We've bowled SEVERAL 300 games at duckpin. Albeit because we've learned how to hax the circa-1985 computer to throw a strike every frame after the first.

(roll a gutter during the pin-clearing process. the computer will register the ball, and then register that there are no standing pins, and start the clearing process again)

While we haven't tried it for the first frame, theoretically you can just hit the "reset" button and have it clear and reset the first frame, and roll a gutter during that.

Is your badassery always imminent?

If so, then your badassery is never in effect.

His badassery doesn't know the difference between imminent and eminent.

No, I am aware of the difference and used the word imminent intentionally. I have not yet achieved true badassery because of past issues. But I'm close. Soon, I will join the council of badass.
