I love the Black Table. I'm going to miss it when it's gone.

What I love about that piece is that you can start at the beginning, read through to the end, and not come across an actual—ah, an actual non-cliche thought? Despite hundreds of words. How did she pull that off?

I thought it was actually pretty good advice. Certainly much better than all the other bullshit "rules" I've read.
Too bad I'm already married, I just bought a really bitchin' sweater.

It's all about standards. If you're standards are too high, you can't get laid, unless you're really good looking.

As she nods off at the bar, a cigarette sizzling between her knuckles, innocently suggest that you drive her home. While on the bus to your place with your soon-to-be conquest, offer compliments to offset any insecurity brought out by the intense glare of fluorescent lighting.

If I follow these rules, then how can I get the girls who like guys who don't follow rules to like me?

I am by birth a female, with two tits and a fully functional va-jay
Is a va-jay some sort of obsure vacuum cleaner I've never heard of, or something?

Yeah, like how they stopped updating the side links a good 6 months ago.
Still, I'm going to miss it. Especially the Black List.

schroedinger, I hate to break it to you, but nobody buys into those nice rules anymore. If people talk about "rules for guys" today, they usually just mean how to be self confident, maybe even a little bit of a jerk.
Such rules help many guys, as confidence is often the problem. And Ms. Ratliff's makes the same mistake as most women who write rules for guys by neglecting this point. But only #4 seems like bad advice.
Its nice she understand that "game" is men's responce to the expectations of women, but she is wrong to imagine its only the higest maintenance women who cause the problem, although they are worse.

You've been taking advice from other dudes, and unless you're interested in fucking other dudes (which I have very few tips on), you might want to consider going straight to the source: me. I am by birth a female, with two tits and a fully functional va-jay. I'd say that qualifies me as an expert in what women are attracted to, and as such, my insight into your dilemma might prove to be valuable
The flawed premise is that girls will tell you what they should want not what they actually want. (this is a problem with human beings in general - I'm not picking on women)
Guys, rather succesful guys, will give you valuable advice on what works in practice, not in theory.

A fucking sweater has little knitted naked people humping away on it. Typically a single daisy chain wrapping around it chest-high, but there are other variations.

Wow that was crap. The Ladder theory, while equally full of shit, is much more original and entertaining.

Funny, funny stuff. For some reason, I get the feeling that whoever came up with Ladder theory was a big Devo fan.
