I’d have to say his advice is great for playing the poisoned game of mostly promiscuous pseudo-relationships as the mainstream low culture of certain countries sells them to people.
Now, the reason I say “poisoned game” is that, having played that game and developed a reputation for playing that game, I expect you to be miserable. The whole routine sounds inviting when you’re basically an utter newb (fabled to be a creature called a “virgin”) and don’t know just how fucked-up and unhappy relationships can get yet. When you’ve seen a few relationships crash-and-burn because they didn’t really respect each-other and each-other’s agency, while you’ve seen relationships thrive when they do respect each-other, you start generalizing and noticing how the initial stages of the “dating process”, as culturally pitched to people, seem carefully optimized to make most relationships get off on the wrong foot.
Disclaimer: I’m happily committedly monogamous.
