Aight, I'm getting sick of hearing people make commentaries on my relationships and on their own based on the crap posted at intellectualwhores.com
Ladder theory, while a somewhat decent approximation of observed social interaction, is NOT the way things work. Think of inter-gender relationships as a basketball. And Ladder Theory is one of those silly boxes that they put basketballs in in retail stores so they can stack them up nice and pretty. It's a pretty decent approximation of the size of the basketball, but it completely distorts the shape. Anyone who's had a functional relationship and has paid careful attention to the nuances of what goes on should be able to agree.
The primary fallacy is that it reduces the emotions of everyone EXCEPT the cuddle b!tch to actual conscious thought. In addition, it completely disregards the existance of preferences... for everyone except the cuddle b!tch. Though the author never states what inspired him to write that crap... It should be pretty damned obvious.
