Has telling youths how to do dating ever worked?

Many young people read advice and try to apply it when they are faced with a high stakes situations and don't want to screw up.

PUA advice is one example.

I think the scenario of a young aspriring rationalist who's unhappy with his dating life or lack thereof reading LW and trying to implement advice isn't farfetched.
