While this is generally good advice, it only works if you have women you're close with, at that level, already. If the only women you know are work colleagues, you can't go around asking them for advice on dating (depends on your relationship with them of course, but usually, not work appropriate).

Yes, but that's not useful advice to someone who currently has none.

My point being, maybe other things are foundational to building a romantic life upon. Not saying it is a must but building friendships with all sorts of people will generally help with many aspects of life
