What do you all think about this theory: The Ladder Theory

My quick summary:

1. All men want is to have sex with women and that's really the only reason men are friends with women.
2. Women put men into one of two categories either "friends that will not get any" and "friends that have a potential to get some."

from this it postulates:
1. Some men are in the "friends only ladder" and are being used, but just don't know it, ladder theorists call this type "intellectual whores"
2. Its pretty much impossible to "jump ladders" i.e. go from the "friends only" category to the other"

etc. there is more to it but thats what I got out of it. When I read it (a couple years ago) it really made sense to me. I always think about it when I hear a girl say to a guy "were friends." And it made me realize how much of an IW (intellectual whore) I was being in some situations, and I pretty much immediately cut those relationships out of my life.

I think this theory -does- work, but most of its presumptions are on a lower consciousness level and therefor applies to those who operate in that realm, which, sadly, is most.

What do you all think?
