Then, what's even more classic is that instead of attempting to refute the generalizations that they don't like- namely that they need to grow up and stop trying to find love in shallow people- they just reassert the generalization that they do like- that all women are greedy bitches.
If you had put more effort into reading the thread, you'd see that many of the "non believers" think that ladder theory is accurate under limited circumstances. The idea, though, is that the people for whom it doesn't apply outnumber the people for whom it does, and so if you avoid the people to whom it applies- and if you're complaining about them you probably shoud- it's useless.

Wow, my mouth is full of all the words you just put in it. Thanks for speaking for me.
The Ladder Theory is a fun read that I learned about years ago. I think it's more of less true and explains a lot of things I'd see from people when I was younger. However, it doesn't affect my life because I'm married and don't plan on getting a divorce.
The theory has a lot of funny things about it. The "Cuddle Bitch" part is great. I knew a few of them and they were just pathetic. However, the best thing is seeing the responses it gets from people who take it way too seriously.
So many people are so wrapped up in the things that the author said to define what women and men want and seem to miss the rest of it. So freaking what if the author said that half of attraction is money for women? Get over it. Stating that financial worth is typically more important to women then men does not have to boil down to "women are greedy bitches".
