This says a lot about OP sees women: as soulless objects without free will who are drawn to every man who "plays the game" / "has game". Sure, manipulation is bad. But he's not talking about PUA or something like that, he's talking about dating and relationships and making your romantic interest known. What is bad about that? Women can still decline. It seems like he is projecting hard and assumes every man who shows interest and tries to impress a woman is practicing false advertising. Maybe because he knows that he himself isn't such a great guy despite women being attracted to him. Or he just realizes most men are frauds. Or he thinks women are not worth impressing because why would you try to "sell yourself" to someone you don't consider to be of value, why apply for a job you don't want, right? He just needs to admit to himself that he doesn't really want a relationship.
I actually used to feel similarly when I was young. I ended up here for self defense, because as a woman you don't have the privilege to be above "the game" or you end up abused. But I can relate to the aversion to social rituals. Maybe it's a neurodivergent thing. This guy doesn't strike me as looking for an excuse to suck, I read it as genuine disorientation. But who knows!
You know what yes! As I was reading it I also felt like I know this feeling he describes. And now after your comment saying it might have something to do with neurodivergence I feel it even more!
I honestly believe he is being genuine, he might be gay or clueless but its very shitty to be in relationships with people just because. Nonetheless, this got me kinda curious about this topic.
He feels immoral for getting sex from women who are desperate enough to throw themselves at him when he's not interested. Men know they've not done the work to deserve your fondness and attention. Listen carefully to their words and actions.
He is probably into men lol

This is an awful lot of words to say that you're lazy, low effort, and useless.
This is laughably infantile, but I think he just isn’t into women.
This guy's in the closet, plain as day
If he sincerely never felt the urge to initiate anything romantic or sexual with a woman, buddy I got news for you...
