I don't really think this is true, although I also can't think of any good examples, for this reason: Most of, if not all of, my friendships with women at this age (and many of them qualify as not having an attraction element) are with ones who are or were in relationships with my friends, so I can't say for sure that I've become friends with a woman while we were both single, and there wasn't an attraction from at least one end.

lol. Ladder theory is fine when you're in college and don't understand that acting like an attractive girl's toady not only won't magically get her to **** you, but is also a ****ty way to act. In reality, ladder theory just very misogynistic and willfully ignorant of the way women communicate. I mean this

The problem arises because a woman never lets a guy know which ladder he is on.
is completely laughable. The problem is, "Women don't reject men clearly and obviously because the kind of men who can't take hints or read nonverbal communication tend to be emotionally immature and unstable, which can be a dangerous situation for the women if she rejects him outright and he doesn't take it well."
