The ladder theory is a funny, scientific explanation of how men and women  
are attracted to each other. It also covers such topics as why women  
sometimes just want to be friends but men always want sex. It is based upon  
many years of sociological field testing, and was first conceptualized in  
1994 in Exeter, CA by Dallas Lynn with acknowledgements to Jared Whitson for  
his role in formalizing the theory.

Full of a lot of charts, graphs, illustrations, and a lot of analytical thought.

for example:

Ugh Josh, pretty sure this is a repost, if not also a repost from UBRF.

Funny of course, but still a repost ☹

i’ve read it before and find it’s mostly a big list of BS excuse about girls not liking you.

i’ve also found that people who believe it are always pussies.
