So, if self help books and seminars aren't doing the trick, what you need is ethics from the philosophers: Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Kant. To illustrate his point he links to a couple of essays and books on how to become a Pick Up Artist and seduce women for fun and profit. Actually, he didn't mention profit. Then he asks, is this right?

He says the philosophers will teach you to think clearly. Well I read those philosophers a long time ago and they sure didn't give me clear thinking. OTOH in that same long ago, I certainly could have used instruction on the art of the PUA. I didn't want a whole string of scores. I just wanted a date.
