I never said that it's solely based in biology. But there are fundemental differences biologically (horomones being the biggest one) that effect how each gender would react to situations. And of course these don't apply to all people, but if you're someone that's looking to generalize them anyways with pick-up tactics and what not, you are looking to exploit those fundamental differences.
Example:
I watched a show called Brain Games that were comparing men and women, they found that men have better spacial recognition (ie we can pack things better, make better spaces in rooms, etc..) and women have better detailed recognition (why women tend to be better with crafts, art, sewing, etc).
Does this mean that if you take one man and one woman out of a crowd that they will show these tendencies? Absolutely not. But it doesn't mean someone can't exploit those differences for selfish gain (although I'm not sure how the above would help anyone).
Again, it's douchbaggery and bordering on sociopathy. And yeah I guess you can call it sexist to go around trying to exploit something that may or may not exist in that person, but that doesn't mean acknowledging that there is differences between men and women is sexist. Because there is.
