Regardless, these strike me as prototypical 'bro' books that aren't particularly well rounded but are mostly pontifications and ideological, matter-of-fact prose from randos that could all be the same person. How about some evolutionary biology/psychology/philosophy or some left fielders such as "Women" by Charles Bukowksi?

Is the point of reading all of these books to have more to talk about with women, or simply to entertain ourselves?

Every one of those books is top notch

Is the point of reading non PUA/game/dating books to have things to talk with women about?
