"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Ladder theory

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I remember reading that before I came to this site.
Though it was total BS.
I think otherwise now.

I just read this off of a link from College Humor
http://www.intellectual*****s.com/masterladder.html
(the part that is probably going to be cencored by the filter is wh0res...as in intellectualwh0res with the 0 being replaced by an o)
If you haven't read it, I'd suggest doing so. It's pretty F'in great.
<EDIT> DONT click the link, it wont work because the filter replaces the word wh0re with *****. Just type it in your browser manually.

wow this stuff is more or less dead on, i think the link should be the DJ bible but in advanced section or somthing.
One thing to remmber when it says 50% or her liking you is money/power you get so worried aobut the money side of it because you have been told here it is not money and now osmeone says it is, thta you forget aobut the power, sure money is power but so is bieng an alpha male and having confidence! and that maes up that 50%!
but i think if you go on to the forum its a waste of time as its only about the ladder so they do not know the whole game
P.S if you ever visit there site never will you call sosuave a troll, there are people with 17,000 posts and heres what i heared form some one.
"How about 900 in less than a month? (hooray for OT, which Im sure is what made my post count so high so fast) "

The part I liked best was about men and women being friends...
"No man can just be friends with a woman he finds attractive."
Exceptions:
"He's gay"
"He doesn't find you attractive."
"He has a woman higher on the ladder than you."
Criticism:I have lots of male friends who would never think of me that way blah blah blah.
Answer:Your friend doesn't find you attractive, or he's currently doing better, or he's gay or you're wrong.
I love it

Good sh!t.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
The ladder theory itself is correct...But their theory of attraction is overly simplified and flawed. They seem to think if you act like a criminal chicks will pursue you to no end, and if you are intelligent with a good job then you have no chance. That's just stupid.

Well...I think you might have oversimplified it too much yourself.
Not saying that I totally buy into every word the thing is about (given at least some of it can be classified as satire) but there's one part on there - I think "Common Misconceptions" or something like that which goes into what you were talking about.
I don't know about you guys, but I think I laughed more times reading this than I said "Wow, that's insightful." It's entertaining, to say the least.

My ex girlfriend sent me the link once. She raved about how dead on it was.
As a side note, the reason she liked me initially was because I didn't pay much attention to her. After reading the ladder theory she said that was probably why.
