Yes, this is pretty much it. Learning how to be assertive without looking weird, creepy or a lunatic. It's just a lot of practice.

Most advice given to men how to be more socially adaptive is actually advice how to best be taken advantage of. It has nothing to do with their own best interest.

This is true of pretty much all such advice to anybody. Society's interests and your interests are often unaligned.

Succinctly put. Realizing this is very painful if one has been raised idealistically.
