Like any sociological model it might do an adequate job describing the dynamics of the way society generally operates, but it fails at getting to the underlying causes and simplifies what it describes to a fault.
The ladder theory is just a long-winded version of the 1-10 scoring system that's been around for ages. But only a fool would blame his inability to get laid (or achieve whatever his objective might be) on a representational model. As King Missile says, "you are the center of your universe […] therefore, anything that does not work out for you is all. your. fault."
