99% of mainstream dating advice is hogwash.

Learn the truth about women. Start reading:

The best dating advice is concentrated on men who are players or aspire to be. But the skills to seduce a fling and a future wife are very similar.

If you want to catch a great woman, you must have the skills to catch any woman.

The above advice is probably really good if you think of women as objects.
If you can have a Class of Human, I don't see the problem having women AND men as objects.
The problem is that it doesn't have a point to it. If you don't treat people like people, instead of puppets, there's very little point to interacting with them. Even if you could "catch any woman", what would you do with her when the superficial fun wears off?
Obviously I wholeheartedly agree with you. I was just trying to make a relevant joke.

On a more serious note, people who treat others (be it men or women) as objects/puppets are themselves devoid of any deeper intelligence. I will go so far to generalize and say that they are pretty shallow morally, and a lot of times, intellectually (not quite, but I don't know a better word).

That second site looks like manipulative bullshit to me.
That's because it _is_ manipulative bullshit! Heartiste is famous for spouting misogynistic garbage. Pretty terrible stuff.
To "catch" a woman?

Stick to fishing... it's not 1973 anymore!

Besides that those same "skills" you're developing are going to fuck up your future relationship(s) when you continue to behave like a sociopath.
Get. The. Hell. Out.
