On the off chance anyone who needs to hear this stumbles across it:
Boys! These grifters are not out there picking up and sleeping with beautiful women every night. They spend all their time coming up with ways to give you the hard sell for their bogus "systems." These guys are not experts on women. They're experts on desperately lonely men.

I met (and was forced to be around) a guy in my first month of University just like this. Lots of weirdly specific far-fetched stories about girls he's been with, describing a mutual acquaintance only as "the one with large cherries" and other delights.
2 weeks later, he's more comfortable with us and he comes out as gay. Turns out he'd just reverse engineered how to act like a successful straight "lad" from lads mags and other terrible sources.
I thought about this a lot as I watched Russel camping all over my screen.

I'm 34 and I am not too ashamed to say that I used to be a misogynist.
I grew up a few years too early to get dragged into the Manosphere, but I definitely could have because none of their beliefs or feelings were surprising to me.
Thanks to therapy, I understand that my family life prepared me to feel undesirable by the time I hit puberty... My older sister had serious mental problems and took her anger out on me sometimes, so I wound up assuming girls at school would treat me with disregard and callousness too. And, being on the autism spectrum, I never understood people well enough to know if that could have been false. Meanwhile, I got bullied by other boys, which made it harder still to understand why they were supposedly so much more attractive than I was. I looked desperately for reasons to understand why I was hated, snd it fell to two things: I must be extremely obese (I was not), and girls must hate me because I liked nerdy stuff. And I grew to resent and hate them for being intolerant. I had started to recover when GamerGate happened and watched in horror how many men felt the same resentment - seeing games companies marketing to girls kinda stung me, too, as games were my safe space... The only thing I could do where I wouldn't be running into attractive women I'd feel hated by.
I wound up spending 15 years being depressed (and I was sure it would last my hopefully-short lifetime), at first feeling psychogenic pain throughout my schooling, nurturing revenge fantasies or feelings of superiority just to feel better... As time went on I'd mellow, but had developed extreme social anxiety due to the constant pain I felt when around people... I was 27 when I stopped feeling pain. It had a lot to do with learning things about myself - like how much shame and guilt I'd been feeling but suppressing.
My general advice is to go to therapy. Heck, I went to see a priest, even as an atheist, because it was free.
And try to trust some people. Make friends, or at least just try to see that you can. It will become more meaningful than you expect it to be.
Most importantly, remember that the feeling that people hate you is what's known as projection. You're the one feeling hate for yourself. Find out WHY. Learn to feel shame and guilt consciously, rationally, or you'll just keep repressing it while it keeps making you miserable.

14:12, yes. When you go to a tanning salon there's a dial on the tanning bed. Goes from "Scandinavian in a sunless winter" all the way over to "Charred remains of a frozen pizza your roommate put in the oven before playing two matches of DotA". "Baked potato" is right around the middle, next to "well done crispy chicken" and "orange like a carrot, not the fruit"

As an autistic guy who has always struggled with getting relationships and is still a virgin to this day, I was definitely vulnerable to these kinds of pick up artists, although thankfully I somehow avoided going too deep into these as I already had an aversion to the toxic masculinity that much of the manopshere follows, probably because since I was bullied by a lot of guys growing up while most of the girls were friendly with me.
I definitely liked your point at the end that girls should ask out guys more, I always struggled with how to approach girls without being creepy, especially since incels seem to give a lot of us socially awkward guys a bad name

"This date with one girl turned into a date with four!" if this really did happen I'm willing to bet the woman brought her friends over to run interference on his creepy ass
