I think you might be missing the point here of what us "enlightened paragons" take issue with, which would be treating women as objects or less than human and using manipulation to get what you want from them.

Yeah I can't stand behind the manipulation and games by dudes to get what they want but I think if I'm honest the reason is that I am far too apathetic at this stage in my life to consider a strategic approach worth the effort.
As for "why would there be", I'm self-aware enough to recognize that there is an irredeemable undertone of objectification in an attitude that says, "I like this girl, but if she's not interested in sleeping with me, I'm going to remove her from my sphere of consciousness entirely because however fun, interesting or otherwise great she may be this relationship will not otherwise provide an adequate return on my emotional investment."
EDIT: or, if you prefer it put more sarcastically, read Flameswin's post immediately below mine.
