It's certainly possible to have toolbox smalltalk and do okay with it. Developing genuine curiosity for the other person and letting that curiosity guide your questions is both more fun and more likely to create a connection.

The toolbox gives you a starting point; it's not meant to be the entirety of the conversation, but rather starting points. It's relatively easy to maintain a conversation, harder to start one. Curiosity doesn't begin until you have something to be curious about in the first place.

I agree that PUA doesn't give people what they're looking for, most of my comment was intended to explain why. (Short summary: It's about sex, not conversation.)
