What do women want? According to pick-up, they want someone dominant and assertive who’ll come up to them in the street and ask for their number outright.

Pick-up clearly has a flawed methodology. That hasn’t stopped some ‘gurus’ making a fortune out of it, and attracting hundreds of thousands of followers.

Does evolutionary science really support their brash advice? And do the coaches actually think they’re doing men some good?
