I think the article (or sales page) was great food for thought, and the approach can definitely work, but I think it ignores the fact that the best-looking, highest-quality women in any given country are essentially beyond the grasp of foreigners, especially foreigners who stick to foreigner crowds and never learn the language. This is pretty clear in most places you go and is an observation echoed by many people on this forum who live in different locations around the world.
Just look at the women most foreigners spend time with and compare them to top shelf in that country. Let's face it, foreign men who don't speak the local language typically get the bottom of the barrel; although many do seem very adept at convincing themselves of otherwise.
On another note, he tries to shame guys who go abroad and try to integrate or learn about the local culture and customs, but not everyone goes abroad just to chase women. Some of us actually want to learn something about human nature and ourselves, and this is hard to do when you are already convinced that you've got everything figured out and aren't willing to let down your guard and try something new.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
