What did he do?  He posted something that was bad advice.  Do you honestly
believe the only way to meet women involves dancing, drinking, and trying
to impress them in two minutes?   I can understand how some might equate
that mating dance that takes place in tacky singles bars with how
you go about meeting people....if you spend all your time in tacky singles
bars.  Out in the real world however, the best way to meet people is to
just talk to them and show a genuine interest in what they are saying.  Don't
treat every woman you find physically attractive as some sort of trophy
you're going to put on your mantle and avoid all others that you don't.  
Treat woman as people and treat all people the same.
