I love* threads about the
Ladder Theory. They're the forum equiv of invading Poland.

I still think the OP is suffering from the bipolar backlash of the concept pushed in my lengthy-quote'd initial response.

Also, this related thread topic has been waiting for ages:
Groovy OP Idea

I'm curious, what's the female equiv? I don't want to threadjack this train wreck more than it already has been but, if you would, humor me.

You can't win 'em all. Keep posting, bro. If you're genuinely interested in finding mature discussion, this is the forum for it.

Wait... you know what's kinda weird? I totally posted angry, bitter rant-garbage like this all the frickin' time when I first showed up here at TFP and yet, for some reason I'll never understand, I wasn't instantly booed off stage by the gauntlet of equal rights ivory tower We Are The Worlders. Hmm, time for another TFP Is Changing thread, perhaps? I dig how Kant and psychological dysfunction are paraded out as some type of high brow analysis of what probably just amounts to Another Modern Male being really tired of and frustrated by his failures in intimate relationships. I'm glad that it takes a herd of fruitcakes to identify lone fruits and nuts. It gives me some perspective.
Basically: I don't want to be like that. It seems we've got these free floating labels for what is acceptable and the adhesive on said labels only lasts for a short duration.
So, yeah, I'm glad you guys were gentler with me. I've really learned a lot being here and I've grown to be a better person for it. And maybe there is another me in this guy.
