The comment didn't come off as smug to me, but rather as so clearly true that it shouldn't need further explaining.

With a high risk of being labeled a weird PUA-- social interaction is easily able to be broken down logically. Humans are animals, and just like animals can be trained and managed, humans can be trained and managed. It can be analyzed with data if you're willing to whip up a spreadsheet. It can be treated using business principles if you're so inclined.

Also, don't call yourself a male, just like you wouldn't call a woman a "female" IRL. It is dehumanizing.

Wow, you’re saying you can game human relationships w a few excel macros but calling someone male/ female is dehumanizing.
I refer to myself as "male" and I frequently see women refer to themselves as "female". Please don't tell me what I should be insulted by.
