Society won't help you with it, if Robin and Thursday's arguments are right.
You can help yourself. In recent years there's been an explosion of information on how to get better at dating and social interaction, some of it even works.
Yup, most of it inspired by the seduction community, which is the main influence of my thinking. However, the community is still relatively underground and controversial. I direct my criticism towards mainstream dating advice.
I think the biggest reason that most dating advice sucks is that good advice is only possible if you actually view the realtime performance of the person and thus get an idea of what kind of mistakes they're making. Once you see what mistakes they're making, giving good advice becomes orders of magnitude easier. Then it would be called "teaching" instead of "advice-giving".
Is there anything on which the mainstream advice isn't horrible? If you look at what is said about jobs/money/education/time management/happiness/depression/weight management/virtually any personal subject imaginable, the advice is invariably counterproductive nonsense.
Disregard the mainstream society, and just enjoy your dating advantage over competition.
