I thought i did give reasons and evidence. You chose one thing and refuted in a way that proved to me that you missed the point of why i said it.

My point was that "a bunch of people i know" agreeing with an idea doesn't make said idea any more real than if nobody agrees with it.

My argument is that ladder theory, while applicable to many people, is mostly generalization and as such has little value on an interpersonal level. Its the kind of bullshit psuedopsychology that can perpetuate bullshit stereotypes and convince people not to take responsibility for their behavior.

While he mentions "field testing" he fails to be specific, only mentioning girls in clubs. This makes me assume that this little theory applies to club girls. That might make more sense, but it hardly results in a solid scientific theory. Hello? Spend all your time in the stable and you're likely to get some shit on your shoes. That doesn't mean that everything is shit.

Do you think 99.9999999% of women are bitches? Which is it, your mom or your girlfriend or your sister or your grandmother? Are you "man" enough tell her to her face?

I have plenty of female friends who i don't want to fuck. And if i did fuck a female friend and got burned i would attribute it to some bullshit ladder. I'd attribute to the fact that fucking your friends is sometimes a really stupid thing to do. Befriending people just because you want to fuck them is an incredibly inconsiderate way to treat people. I'm not trying to sound self-righteous. I'm just not trying to attribute a lack of self control to some sort of bullshit inevitability.

This theory assumes that all people are shallow, selfish, and led either by greed or libido. Granted, there are many people who fit those criteria. It just seems like your friend whatshisnuts is content to surround himself with superficial women and immature men and create a fun little theory that frees him completely from needing to take any responsibility for his problems with women.

It's not my fault i let my dick make bad decisions for me. It is my nature.
It's not my fault that i only hook up with shallow, insincere women. It's because 99.99999999999% of women are bitches.

Yeah, that's it. Dumb bitches.
