This kinda confuses me. Is it something like "When socially acceptable to, talk to people who seem interesting, about shared interests, if you get along well be friendly and seek more contact, but take cues to back off or leave gracefully"? Because that's... basically what the feminists chide Roissy for not doing. Also it's exactly what I do and I can't get a date. (Probably unrelated reasons tho.)

Also, he can't mean that completely literally. At some point you're going to want to proposition, or respond to advances from, beautiful people of appropriate gender, but not ugly ones.

Roissy is not saying "Treat ugly women as you would treat beautiful women".

He's saying something along the lines of not putting beautiful woman on a pedestal and belief that you have to seek their approval.

If you want to understand Roissy in this case, you should think about how he thinks about ugly woman. He's not the kind of person who treats ugly woman friendly.
