Filtherton,
I think you're missing the point of Lynn's theory.
The point is to try to help all of this frustrated chumps out there, who think that if they are nice and friendly with girls, that they will magically be turned into good boyfriends. He presents this in a sarcastic and caustic way, not because he hates women, but because he empathizes with these frustrated men, and wants to help them keep some dignity.
We're all calling for evidence, one way or the other. The only evidence I can provide is that I've asked 4 of my female acquaintances to read this very website, and they all agree with it. If you think for even a minute that I hang out with shallow club girls, or bitches, you're very wrong.
I'm not sure what you think ladder theory is, but your very argument seems to agree with it.

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 think Ladder Theory agrees with you. It teaches men to be honest and open about their intentions, if they're rejected to move on, and to refrain from veiling their true emotions in the form of friendship.
So what is it good for?
It's a basic set of ground rules, men and women can use to understand relationships.
Women want strong, confident men, who aren't afraid to express their emotions. They want to be able to have friends without worrying that the friend just wants to fuck them. They need to find a man attractive in order to have a sexual relationship with them.
Men want women they find interesting and attractive. We want to have a best friend to sleep with. The lesson we learn from ladder theory, is that we can't try to convert friends into lovers. We need to be honest with our emotions, and make our intentions clear. Finally, when a woman is stringing us on, we need to make a clean break. It's true, you cannot jump ladders.
Boiled down and simplified, what's so hard to understand about this? What is there to disagree with?
p.s. BooRadley, I thought your posts were spot on... just thought I would put things in a different way.
