Everyone has a list. Consciously or subconsciously we all know who we would most likely and least likely go to bed with. I don’t care if you’re a hopeless romantic who fell in love with your soul mate at the age of eight and finally got her by laying rose pedals along a candle lit pathway only to find you serenading a song you penned down for her at the end, or, a whore (directed at both sexes) who would fuck just about anything that moves. Everyone has a list. Only difference is, the whore would probably have their list framed and hung on their bedroom wall like a graduation certificate.
Now I’m not talking about the usual “List of five celebrities I’m allowed to fuck and you’re not meant to get angry at me” bullshit. Let’s be honest, if my future wife gets to fuck Brad Pitt and I don’t get to bang Alessandra Ambrosio I’ll be pissed off. Not because I’m jealous she’s fucking Brad, I can understand that (massive step up for her!), but because I’m not getting with the Victoria Secret Angel.
The list I’m talking about is the friends list. Who out of your friends would you most likely sleep with? A lot of readers at this point would be thinking “This is sick! I’ll never choose who I’ll sleep with amongst my friends”. But you most likely already have subconsciously. Most of the time when you meet someone new they’ll put you on the “Just Friends” or “Got Potential” ladders – this is The Ladder Theory. The Just Friends ladder has people who you’ll never be interested in but wouldn’t mind them as a friend. While, the Got Potential ladder is a list of people you’re willing to have sex/date in the future. What we don’t know is that The Ladder Theory is just the beginning of The List.
By allocating your friends on the two ladders you’ve ultimately split up your friends and put the people in the Got Potential ladder ahead of the people in Just Friends. Now all you have to do is just order the names around and you’ve got your list. Everyone has a list.
For the those reading this thinking they’re going to have sex soon because they know they’re on the top of someone’s list, this is for you: Being first on the list doesn’t mean you’ll get laid first. You may be on the top of a girl’s list because you’re smart, charming, built, got family money and successful but you’re also the mummy’s boy who leaves her birthday party at 8.30 because your mum doesn’t want to watch Sex in the City alone. If you were really that great you wouldn’t be on her list, you would be fucking her right now. So, you’re The Back-Up Plan. When she’s sick of guys screwing her over and over – double entendre intended – she’ll probably marry you because she can’t find the perfect one.
Every name on the list can be allocated to a category picked by the person. Now girls, if a guy gets dumped and calls you out for drinks to “talk about his horrible break-up” and at the end of the drunken night when you’re both pretty blind, he puts his hand on your leg and touches your inner thigh. You are his Rebound. Pretty obvious but some people just don’t see it.
But this list isn’t about relationships nor does it revolve around relationships. After all, this list is clearly based on fucking. That’s why number one doesn’t mean you get to have sex first. Most say that having the best sex is when you’re doing it with someone you love. Call me old fashion but that I do believe. However, if you’ve been single for a while or just broken up from a long term relationship, throwing feelings out the window and just going for it is sometimes the best solution. So without further ado I present the “One Off’s” on the list. These are the people that you’ll only have sex with once or twice, usually man-whores or sluts and are used to get it out of the system. Their sexual accomplishments and desires will probably intrigue you so much that you’ll eventually go for a ride – literally. Perfect example: the Barney Stinson character from hit tv show How I Met Your Mother. They would most likely get laid before whoever it is on the top of the list.
Everyone has a list. Some may know it, some may not, some may even be thinking about who’s on it right now after reading this. The tricky part is finding out where you are on someone else’s list. So on a drunken Friday night, call a bunch of people over and bring up the topic. Guaranteed to keep you talking and drinking till the morning, it did with me. I never found out what number I was on my friend’s lists (I just called shotgun!) but I did get inspired to write this.
