Hiya BeulahTrash!
I won't be able to hit the Rapid show this weekend as I'll be at Clem's training class, but we'll have to meet up soon.

And about this:
> I got stuck in the friend zone long ago and I am trying to dig my way out

Keep her as a friend who values liberty, but don't waste valuable time and effort trying to get out of the friend zone
Won't happen.

That was a great website, but a little racy for a man of my morals...but still the advice is still somewhat appliccable!

An interesting site, Jared, thanks.
Raw...but little to argue with...

Beulahtrash, keep your morals, of course, but never be the puppy.
Feel obliged to turn down your friend occasionally.
Having "Other Things To Do" 1:2 times will be good for you.

Such is necessary for any possible ladder jumping (no guarantees, though,  :-\).

Finally, a woman won't rashly place you on the friend ladder if she is
not certain that you've already laddered her first.  It's nothing personal.

Mask your interest.  This will become easier as you mature, because the
testosterone poisoning decreases (not that such reduces the sex drive,
only the ridiculous urgency of it) while you become more selective.

Also, once they think they've figured you out, that is the file folder you will occupy.
Be genuinely different and resist classification for as long as you can.
Mysterious ambivalence of interest works wonders.  It will nearly force them to express
the first interest, out of intrigued bewilderment.

Right now, you're 24 and women know much more about what makes you tick
than you do.  You're no match for them at the moment; none of us were. 
That's the trick required of species propagation, not that it's totally a bad thing, but
you don't want to be one of the inevitable casualties along the way.

Slow it down, and reassess often, else you'll end up with a very different future
than you once imagined for yourself, and with whom.

Good luck, fellas.

 ::)   Hi everybody, I'm new here.  I am in my 20's also,  I am in Rapid City now, but I'm from Houston.  I have found that most girls have gone WILD and finding one worthy enough to settle down with is most difficult indeed!  I plan on moving to NE Wyoming, and before I do I hope to find me a FSW minded type gal.  If not?   No big deal,  I'll keep myself busy till the right one comes along.  Hope she isn't taken though!  God Bless! ;)

Howdy Dan Fong, Those South Dakota girls were wild when I was your age and visiting my cousins in that country. Sounds like it hasn't changed much.  Glad to have you here.  Miles

I'm 22.  It was nice meeting so many folks my age at the JAM3!

PatriotAR15, you shouldn't abandon your principles,
but you also don't have to wear Gadsden Flag underwear, either...

Jared, cool ! So I am kind of old and outside the loop on all of this new fangled "myspace" stuff. Do I just jump in with both feet ? I don't want to mess anything up    ::)  Miles

Wow, Jared, looked at your ladder theory website.  So what does is mean that all my good friends are male and I really don't have any female friends?

Jackie, from my experience, that would suggest that you enjoy a level of emotional complexity that can be easier found in men than women. I tend to be the reverse- I enjoy more emotional complexity, so I have more women friends.

I am not sure the ladder theory deals with this at all.

I am waiting (with safety goggles and ear plugs) for Laurel to read the Ladder theory and give us her response....

One man's "emotional complexity" is another man's "drama factory". ;D

Max,

You may be right.  After bashing my brain around all day, I LIKE the ease of relating to men after work.  They drink, tell jokes, razz on each other good-naturedly, burp, fart, and are otherwise adorable.  Plus they like to eat real food instead of bird seed and rabbit fodder.  You have to be too careful about what you say around most women, or you'll find it coming back to haunt you in unusual ways.
