According to ladder theory then, you were on top of the friends ladder and slipped into the shag/potential relationship ladder, only to be subsequently replaced with someone on a higher rung...
As much as I outwardly contest the assumption that beneath my pleasant and genuine emotional exterior lies a cold-hearted malevolent status obsessed bitch, there does appear to be more than a few grains of truth in the theory, although all it has really done is glamourise/complicate what humans have possessed for eternity: a compulsive obsession with sex.
PS. Is this where the aphorism 'It's bad luck to walk under a ladder' comes from?
