I think that pick-up artistry is a really limited subset of social fitness, if it even applies at all. It seems from the small amount that I've read on it that they target a subset of women (women that go to bars and hook up), and that it might not really generalize well. Carnegie looks like a much better start.
I have other thoughts that seem too unformed to put down here yet. They're too nebulous, and it's annoying... I can see there being a use for some sort of systematic approach to testing and evaluating people and techniques, but I'm not sure how it would work. (v_v)

Really, you've articulated my actual, underlying desire (i.e. Getting More Awesome) quite well in the OP. Why don't you have a go at articulating your "nebulous" thoughts. Consider it brainstorming, don't worry about it being neat or perfect!
Sure, but that's irrelevant. I just think they've provided a decent example of a group getting together to figure out how to work on a particular social skill. In the article I linked, I was advocating copying their learning methods, nothing more.
ETA: Well, this is certainly timely!
I actually tried to write them out several times in the reply before I gave up. I'll need more time to think about them when I'm not distracted by impending life.
