[edit] Some Necessary Information
Please note that these are only general topic outlines.

Also please note that LadderWiki is a recently created resource. This is a work in progress with all contributions made by volunteers. Many of the articles were taken from forum posts with minor edits. Therefore, the articles may have a more conversational tone and a very rough draft feel about the spelling, grammar, and formatting. If you think you can improve any article you are welcome to join our community and make edits.
The most important and/or useful articles for understanding other areas of the site are accentuated in BOLD.

Many guys know what women like in men (i.e., money, power, fame, muscles etc...). But, putting it all together into a coherent model to use in attracting women is a bit trickier and requires a bit of study to fully figure out. So what we need then is a firm understanding of what makes attraction happen. Find all of that out here with helpful studies, theories, and proven knowledge on men and women and what makes us tick.
