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.

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.
