I read all the screenshots of only a little of the analysis. All of them are needy/demanding, except the last one. I probably would have said one of them immediately after my mission. The last guy can use some PUA skills, where neediness is treated as enemy #1.
But at the end of the day, you're gonna creep some girls out. If you approach a girl and tell her you think she's cute, some girls will be floored, some will find it creepy. You polarize. During my last year at BYU, I saw a clinical psychologist at the Wilk. She asked me what are some exercises I can do to overcome anxiety on dates. I suggested going to UVSC and talking to random girls. I'd never see them again so whatever happens, it'd be OK. She gave me her blessing. About three years later, I discovered pickup.

I'm skeptical of "pick up" being a good strategy for finding an eternal mate.

There's this whole economy around "pick up" "gurus" who sell books, videos, and workshops to frustrated men who feel that they can't get a girlfriend, have sex, or get married.
I'm not terribly familiar with it, but the media accounts I see note that there is a lot of sexism and treating women as objects to conquer. A lot of scoreboarding and "conquest." Treating the entire process like a logical puzzled to be solved that ends up with you having sex with a woman. |

Like you said, it has spawned an entire industry, with many variations on its method. Not monolithic.
The objectification part was originally designed to game party girls.
