There is a growing idea on a certain phenomenon that occurs between men and women all over the world, yet is thought of completely differently between the sexes. It’s called the Ladder Theory, and it’s starting to spread like wildfire among college students all over the country. For those that don’t know it, it could easily come in handy in many different social situations, and for those that do know it, they probably put it into practice and live a somewhat easier and more stress-free life because of it.
Fear not to the bunch that are clueless, I’m going to break down the theory in a more PG way and as best as I can in a written format. Everyone knows about the ‘friend zone’, whether it comes from firsthand knowledge like most or through books, movies, or friends. It’s not a place you can find on any GPS, but it’s a place that no guy ever wants to find himself. This is where the Ladder Theory comes into play. It basically says that given a few different variables like looks, beliefs, personality, or even desperation, that there is a certain place for you on a specific ladder that rates romantic interest. For guys, there is one ladder that a girl is positioned on based mostly on looks, attractiveness, and how hard they have to work for that girl, as well as a couple other factors and intangibles. It’s really easy and simple; there are no complications with how guys do this. The method that girls take is completely different and there are more dynamics at play.
The Ladder Theory is something that every college guy should learn about and trust. It definitely helps with social situations in college and can make the experience much more enjoyable. It should be one of those things that all incoming freshman learn, like never pass up free food or t-shirt and that beer and GPA have a negative correlation. So in a week where you don’t have any exams, if weeks like that even exist, go read about the Ladder Theory to learn all its depth and details. It will expand your horizon of life knowledge and it’s definitely worth the research.
