Does the term not mean the same as the Scots 'man o' pairts', i.e. a Renaissance man? That is, an educated man with a wide range of interests? 93.96.236.8 19:05, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I request verification specifically of this part: "This includes but is not limited to the area of seduction. He puts very little emphasis on memorized scripts or "peacocking" and instead relies on individualized ways to charm a woman." Merriam-Webster has only the first part: a man talented in multiple areas.

I don't think it adds anything to the meaning. Is there any reason to keep it even if it includes talent in seduction? --BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 06:26, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
