If you're single, you could reverse engineer this to have a higher chance of getting a date. Look for attractive girls who have pictures with all the attributes that get poor responses, and it should lead to less competition and better odds

I thought the entire book could have been written in less than 10 pages. For years I worked as a manufacturing engineer, so documenting your processes is kind of second nature to me. On the other hand, I hated bureaucratic systems like ISO
