Seeing as how i have yet to see any evidence that isn't completely anecdotal i don't think this even qualifies as a theory. It is nothing more than formalized stereotype. That being the case, of course there are going to be elements of truth to it. All stereotypes are rooted in truth. Given a million monkeys typing at a million keyboards, how long would it take for them to write something that contains elements of truth?
Even if it does accurately represent a large group of people. So what? What is it useful for? I can sum it up with one sentence: A lot of men and nearly all women are stupid, selfish, shorsighted individuals who want nothing more than to get their rocks off. There's ladder theory. How is that helpful? Is it the author's intention to help people avoid this poisonous way of dealing with other people? Nope. Sorry. This prophet ain't here to save anybody. His main point is to try and help the average man find his way to "friend with benefits" territory, because that is the ideal spot. Fucking Quagmire.
If he were really a genius he'd be selling this in book form. People will pay a lot of money for someone, regardless of dubious authority, to tell them how their problems aren't actually their own fault.
Believe in it all you want, just don't try to tell me that it accurately depicts reality in any meaningful way.
