I don't rate that at all. That implies that men's only ranking for women is based on sex, while it may be true in essence that idea can lead to a pretty dismal picture of the state of males and of mankind in general. At the very least his model is flawed because the average guy should have at least two ladders a "fuck" ladder and a "real" ladder as evidenced by the fact that many guys turn down people "above the ladder" than their significan other.
In addition he contradictions himself frequently. The initial example is drawn from a situation in which a male engages the services of an intellectual whore. Later he frequently refers to these "outlaw biker" types as dregs of the earth, if money/power are the deciding factors then anyone on the "friend" ladder would be light years ahead of the "unemployed alcoholic

Thank you Mikey!! Colin and I had a big discussion about this whole "intellectual whore" theory. I can see where the theory came from but like you said it is not scientifically testable. I personally believe that not all males are in search of just sex and neither are women. It may seem that way at times though.
I wasn't trying to so much validate everything in his theory, as take it as a different perspective than I usually take. And even if you don't believe in everthing he says, and think he's pretty much a moron, the idea of an intellectual whore still pretty well describes how women tend to treat me.
