My point was that the pickup artists who claim that they are helping or empowering young men are in fact not helping them to get a healthy attitude towards the other sex or enabling them to be in healthy relationships. Instead (most of) the tips of the pickup artists are in contra productive and will make you sad, angry and alone. I don't think it's in their interest that you get healthy relationships, because that would mean that they would loose a client.

And I also do not think it's a good idea to suggest suicide to troubled teenagers.

I'm not suggesting suicide, I'm saying I would personally have not been able to manage as a boy in today's world because of how fucked up this is.

The way I read it was that anyone who has trouble with women is doing something stupid like this. A lot of normal guys just don't have a real chance these days.
