Q: Do I really care about helping people practice the parts specific to romance in a specific culture, rather than a broad class of social interactions?
A: Yes.
Romance is a rather important part of life and success in that area makes a difference in performance in other areas as well. There is real value, both terminal and instrumental, in having a healthy romantic life.
Okay, I’ll drop the euphemism. Do I really care about helping people practice the parts specific to getting laid at a bar if you are a man, rather than a broad class of social interactions?
“Healthy romantic life” is also a bit vague, so I’m not sure if you would support this explicitly, or if by “healthy romantic life” you mean a more stable situation, which would mean training in cooperation and communication (and also some rational courage and knowing what to expect) much more than dominance.
