What is the break down of the categories you all are discussing? The OP doesn't say what Category 1 and 2 are.

Don't women have these categories as well? I don't see why any of this is surprising. I always figured that everyone had some sort of variation of this.

Yup I have categories.
"Marriage-Material"
"Friend that will pay for dinners"
"Yummy to look at but too dumb to hubby"
"Would love to....but I love Jesus"

Any time i hear a guy say oh you're fun i kind of know what category i fall into
I've heard this so many times.
Interesting breakdown. I absolutely do think men place women in categories and will hang around with a "category 2" until he meets his "category 1."
I think I will google this "ladder system."
I'm at the point in my life where I am no longer concerned about fitting into a mans category, he needs to make sure he fits into mine.
I have an interesting question Ladies:
What happens if you have all the Pros of Category 1 but none of the Cons???
What does that Mean??
^^^I used to think there were like certain guidelines and only certain types of women that fall in category one. And that I just wasn't it and either needed to change who I am or throw in the towel. But there is somebody for everybody. I really am just a chill, easy going person. But just bc one guy automatically thinks that puts me in a certain category doesn't mean thats going to be the case for everyone. I just keep being the best me possible, don't try to change for anyone and whoever doesn't like it can kick rocks. Bc eventually someone will. I just maintain my standards and don't put up with BS and when I see someone trying to place me in a category I'm not trying to be in, I KIM and on the next one.
That's a good moto to live by.
I don't like changing myself TOO much in order to "catch" a man either . I know there's SOME man out there who will like me just the way I am.
Who said anything about anyone changing? I Didn't read anything about changing to catch a man in the OP.....lol... Are y'all in the wrong thread?

[mention=14364575] kibbles318[/mention]....Lol...no, what Imani was just saying in HER post was that before, she felt like she was either just NOT one of those women who were put into "Category 1", OR she felt like she had to change something about HERSELF in order for men to put her in the "Category 1" (or the "Marry Me" category) box, but now...she sees that some men will like her just the way that she is. She doesn't have to change herself in order to be in that Category in other words. Some men will either like her, or they just won't! Period.
Her response was to me asking the question: "What can women DO in order to ensure that they are seen as 'Category 1' women?" When in reality....(aside from the obvious things of course) you don't have to change anything really. As long as you're not selling yourself short, you should be fine. Some men will always put you in "Category 2" no matter how "great" you are. That's just them.
So all I was saying was that I was agreeing with her and stating that I didn't feel the need to try to bend over backwards and change myself either in order to fit a certain man's "category".
I hope that makes sense? lol
Lol girl I had BEEN figured that out like right after I posted. Lol. That was my bad, I posted/replied without reading... My bad lol
ETA: guess I should have recanted a month ago when this was posted, lol... but I figured no one was coming back in this post
Personally, I think most of them have their own way of categorizing us. I wish they’d be more honest, so we wouldn’t waste our time.
Cuz women are the conquest in nature's biology, as in stringing us along. And if they were more honest about these categories, we'd know immediately and squash their game in the nutsack.
