Do men separate between "just friends" and "more than friends"?
According to the "Ladder theory" (you can google it if you want to read the whole theory) men don't separate between "friends" and "more than friends"/"possible sexual partners" when it comes to women. Whereas women instantly decide whether or not a guy is "just a friend" or "more than friend" and once she has made up her mind it is very difficult for the guy to jump from the friends ladder to the more-than-friends-ladder.
Which would explain why it seems to be more difficult for a man to be "just friends" with a woman then it is for a woman to be "just friends" with a man (because men don't separate between different friends and 'more than friends').
Is there truth behind this?
