I was so ready to be frustrated at yet another creepy/misogynistic PUA article, but this is really not that bad.

Lines like:

> He's found results by giving girls genuine compliments,

> has finally internalized the notion that women like sex too.

> helping women by training men to be better communicators.

> empowers men like Seth by helping them understand what they have to offer women.

I wish more of the awkward guys in the bay area (or even NYC) would follow this advice.

No, it just reads as more try-hard-ism. One of the guys interviewed pretty much admitted he tried insulting women to their faces and for some CRAZY reason it didn't make women want to sleep with him (the implication being that he wasn't turned off by the sleaziness of being an asshole to women, just the fact that it didn't result in sex). Women can spot these techniques a mile away and it's always a bummer.
