Does anyone else find it comical that the author spends so much of his post talking up the virtues of not being a people user, while simultaneously offering advice on how to use women?
I guess if you're dating her that's one thing, but as a general strategy? Replace "girlfriend" with "hot secretary"(or "athletic looking black man", feel free to get creative here) – I honestly don't see how is this somehow more tolerable than pitching to a potential investor without getting to know them first.
Probably no one else has found it comical, because I haven't offered any such advice. The only thing I have done is highlight the apparent good will conferred by being associated with attractive women. The girl in question was not coerced or cajoled into doing what she did, she did so completely of her own initiative.
Also using the help of someone you are dating someone is completely different to 'pitching to a potential investor without getting to know them first' or 'being a people user' and I object to that. One does what one can to help a SO, there are many ways in which favours are returned.
I have to concede here – by the time I wrote this comment I was responding more to the general tone of the thread than to your article. I apologize for making you sound like a douche. Touchy subject for many.
