So, I was recently watching a few videos on Ladder Theory on YouTube. You can find it under Full of Science. It explained how men have one ladder, and women have two ladders. For women, one ladder is designated for her "just friends" and the other is for guys she is interested in. So then we men have this one ladder. I was thinking, maybe the way to attract the women is to adopt the two ladder system. They probably already assume that we think like them anyway {idiots}. By basically turning a girl into a "friend" ladder girl, you are rejecting her, which in turn would make her want to try and get onto your "have sex" ladder. Of course, you would need to be demonstrating the qualities of an alpha male, which are showing you have resources, ability to protect, etc. Essentially the whole "treating her like a bratty sister" is saying "You have no sexual value for me. We can be friends".
