Sounds like his overall point is getting away from game techniques and just learning how to be more of a man with natural charisma and a life. That's how I took it.
This.
I wrote the article. It has nothing to do with not hitting on girls anymore. It has everything to do with guys who get so clogged up with studying theory and over-analizing everything that they don't even know what to do. It's a way for guys to undo their analysis-paralysis, which has become too common in the PUA community.
The comment about LTR's is interesting. I've found that there are a number of qualities that make you good at pick up that will hurt you in an LTR, as well as a number of traits that make you a good boyfriend that will hurt you in pick up.
But I would say, in general, most things that make you good at picking up girls (dominance, confidence, empathizing, humor, flirting) will make any serious relationship that much better. Pick up has definitely made my relationships much, much better.
