If it makes your life easier, great I suppose, but women are just human beings like anyone else, you don't need any special techniques to talk to them. There isn't some magic formula.
Just look at it this way: How would you look at some guy if he had to watch a video on "How to chat with friends!" just so he could go out for drinks with his buds? A little unfortunate and embarrassing, of course. It's the same thing. You could say it in a nice way if you wanted, but the guy would definitely be a "loser."

Or they could be a person with a disability or have extremely poor social skills, but I guess for a prick like yourself, it is hard to understand and empathize with others. A good friend of my GF's watches those videos on 'how to make friends' and also goes to toastmasters, because she does have a mild disability and can come across as awkward in social situations. She is certianly not a loser and I admire her for taking steps for her own personal growth.
Just because things come naturally to some, doesn't mean that you should judge others for not being as socially apt.
