it was the power....the two most powerful families in central ny. since my sister was too young and the rest of my siblings were guys, it fell to me. but now i have the power to take over the world...mmwwaahahahahaha

or at least vgchartz

I'm with Esmoreit on this one. It's possible though that Nordlead could be on the friends ladder and has a set schedule on when he's allowed to hop over to the sex ladder, like maybe holidays, anniversaries, his birthday, etc. I hear that's how marriage runs anyways. So basically I would assume he's under contract to be her intellectual whore 24/7 until he gets the clearance to hop over.

There's no invitations and signals from the girl. The Jump between the Friends Ladder and the Real Ladder is solely based on the male's will.

She also has balls to quote herself instead of doing just an edit.

hey, i still havent figured out all this computer/website stuff....i forgot i could just edit my post :~P

its very cool of you "mod-ess" to take this thread sportingly

a good quality I must say!

I disagree, there is always signals when you get to know women enough, you just have to  understand that they give signals discretely!

You forget the the Ladder Theory never covered marriage, so it's a grey area we need to look into. We can't look into the verses of Ladder Theory to find the definitive answer. We must translate the ideologies to fit into the canon of marriage. Come on man, you should know this.

I was refering to the whole arranged marriage thing and the situation before that!

However now that you went into that territory, I think we can extrapolate it into marriage.

I think that the ladder theory did not cover marriage because the ladder theory is a prologue to marriage. Quite simple, you either have sex before marriage, or you don't. If you have sex before marriage, a guy is already placed on the sex ladder so there isn't a problem. And if you don't have sex before marriage, for instance due to religion? Most religions still allow for self-choice in marriage. All women know that unless your a very unlucky bride, you'll end up having sex with him so the future partner will be placed on the sex ladder, the only difference is that he'll have to wait longer to get it.

The interesting section is arranged marriage. My guess is that if the bride has not yet fallen for another guy, she'll automaticly place the arranged groom on the sex ladder. It's the whole marriage ideal women have. Marriage is perfect, he'll take care of me, my protector, blah blah. Then sex is an automatic part of that.

I can only name one example where this did not hold true. German couple in a very strict religious region had an arranged marriage but they did not get any kids for years. When they went to the doctor, it turned out that the whole sex thing was foreign for them, no one ever told them about it.
