Sad, but true. Yes it is. There comes a time in every man/woman relationship that men are relegated to one ladder or the other. The harsh thing is that it's nearly impossible for men to move from one ladder to the other, no matter which direction they're moving. It's like an invisible 'don't cross' line of emotional crime scene tape. Being removed from the bangable ladder means the guy either did something awful, or the girl realized something about the guy which utterly removed any semblance of desire she might have had for him. This process usually leads to a general distaste or discomfort which she will avoid, therefore avoiding him. Moving from the 'just friends' ladder to the bangable ladder takes an act of God. I've never seen it happen, but I won't deny the existance of the phenomena. Any bangability in a man is detected by a woman at the outset, and even if everybody in the world thinks he's on the 'just friends' ladder, for him to be bangable in the future means she has to see him as bangable through their relationship as friends.

As for the chart of what interests women, I don't think it's really money that attracts women, but something else which is much harder to define. Sensitive men are great, a sense of humor is fine, nice eyes... a really great set of bedroom eyes can take you many rungs up the ladder, but there is another trait which is much harder to give a name to, the "power" trait.

The "power" trait is related to charisma in many ways. Don't get it confused with actual power, there are many men who hold power, but are sadly lacking in the "power" trait. You can usually find men who have this trait at the head of the pack, but men with this trait can also eschew typical leadership roles, taking up the ever-popular and highly sexy "lone wolf" stance. Men with the "power" trait are often wealthy, because they are smart, organized, and know what they want, if they are not wealthy then they have a plan, if they do not plan for wealth then money is not where it's at for them, and they are building their drive towards another goal, equally sexy as money. The "power" trait is a combination of drive, ambition, charisma, psychology and wisdom, which gives a man the uncanny ability to not only say whatever a woman wants to hear, but also short-circuits all her BS-ometers, leading her to believe wholeheartedly in his sincerity. Perhaps he is sincere, which is what all women want to believe, and THAT is the secret behind the "power" trait. It is not really the money, power or fame that hooks a woman so hard that she's willing to set herself up for a fall, it's that a man so together, so well-defined, so much on the right track could see the qualities in her which would lead him to desire her above all those precious baubles and lofty goals.

It's the whole "Pretty Woman" syndrome. Richard Gere had it going on in that movie, he was all about the "power" trait. Deep in our hearts we women knew that in reality he came back into town a couple of times, they had some really great sex, and then he married some rich socialite snobby bitch with anorexia and a speed-dial number for her therapist, but that's not the point. The point is what we WANT to believe, and we want to believe that Richard Gere, his bedroom eyes, and his "power" trait are gonna sweep us off our feet for the happily ever after. We just console ourselves with the idea that if the happily ever after never materializes, then the really great sex is a nice second.

Hrmm, ladder theory, it's all starting to make sense now.

Must go evaluate and apply theory to all past relationships and see if there was any chances I missed out on now.

Oh - PS: Tilandal's theory, which I mentioned before as being masterful, amazing, and beautifully elegant, isn't quite like this, but they forecast similar effects.
