"Around 220 people, mostly men, attended, many paying from $1,000 to 
$9,000 for their ticket..."

A coffee date with a woman who's not getting paid to be there is like 
$20 tops, sort of like electronics design real-world experience is the 
best teacher.

"“I’m good at the initial being-friendly phase. I want to get better at 
the escalation, especially physical,"

Sort of like job applications, they'll get rejected more often than not 
when they try to do that even if they do absolutely everything right, 
tis the reality of life.

“This wasn’t manipulative. Everyone here drinks the ‘respect women 
juice’ pretty hard,” Aaron said. “They read the room way too often and 
are terrified of making women uncomfortable.”

But it's probably not the left's fault they do that. I think it's mostly 
the dude's own inability to 'read the room' correctly, and their 
inability to take the loss when making a move fails (which is a lot of 
the time.)

They're not terrified of making women uncomfortable for us 'commies' 
sake!! They're afraid of taking the shot to their ego; it's much easier 
to sit there hoping and wishing than finding out whether she really 
likes you that way or not.

I don't think the left made them afraid, they showed up afraid.

I've never known a woman to stay mad at a man for making a (tactful) 
romantic overture who also  knew how to take the loss gracefully. I have 
known many women who stay mad for men who form "friendships" with them 
under false pretenses.

"At a home-design panel about how to make your space more palatable to 
women, a presenter told the men that rooms should have rugs. Applause 
ensued. A men’s fashion session dispensed zingers like “avoid drawstring 
pants” and “fit your clothes to your body.” "

That part seems pretty useful. Probably not worth several grand, though.
