I only looked at the first page when I searched our archive, so feel free to lock if this is a repost.

I normally hate this smart Alec stuff, but it actually makes sense to me because of personal experience.

Scenario 3: A girl says any of the following to you:

"You're like a brother to me"
"You're like a big teddy bear"
"I feel like I can talk to you about anything"
"You're so nice"
"Can you help me with my homework"

Ladder Theory Explanation: You are on the friends ladder. So Sorry
*Checks off 4 of 5...*

dohhh... But I knew that anyway I spose...
Basically this is just a guy who has a very high position on the friends ladder. So far up the friends ladder that he gets the dubious honor of getting to provide all the intimacy that a girl is missing when she's off fucking guys who basically don't care about her like outlaw bikers and band members. So he gets to be the proxy father/confessor/friend/teddy bear for her, depending on what she is missing at the time. Perhaps the only consolation of this is a ladder jump to the real ladder seems statistically a little more likely to succeed. Of course, when one is that high up the fall is dreadful indeed....
