It's ultimately a bad path from the beginning as all of it promotes the idea of self-improvement for "social worthiness" rather than self improvement
for self. Once you spark that idea it only goes one way - into the concept of "value", and the idea of "high value women" who are earned like prizes for increasing ones own social worthiness.
And of course it's all absolute BS so you end up with a bunch of already-angry 20-something year old lads, pumped up at the gym and half of them chock full of steroids, expecting to now be worthy but finding themselves enraged because all of it was snake oil to begin with. And the blame never goes where it belongs - to the peddlers of said snake oil - it goes squarely on the women.
