being successful at relationships is about fulfilling the criteria of people you want relationships with.

If the "people you want" is the same as the "people that would be good for you" then yes. If you are unskilled in relationships then they are less likely to be the same and it is possible to get into relationships that aren't good for you. In this case being good at relationships is about knowing how to extract yourself from the situation with minimum drama.
