Ironically, doesn't that seem to describe the "asshole" guys who always get the girls? You can argue that it's not the most healthy way to act, but it's a hard argument to say those traits are best left unemulated. Re-read your last line.

While there's no question that the straight pursuit is the most effective, I'm pretty sure most women would think twice if a man is stepping over his friends to get to her. And children are, well, children. Like you say, kids are intuitively manipulative. They are a lot smarter than they let on, and are keen observers of social interactions. But I wouldn't call them psychologically un-needy, they are simply egocentric. Kids do not have empathy, because they cannot see from another person's perspective. Kids are very needy - they bite and scream for attention, they can't sleep without someone nearby, and they constantly broadcast their feelings. What do we call a narcissistic, shallow, and selfish person? Childish. So when it comes to learning from children how to seduce, I think some caution is required. Kids have an admirable honesty, naivety, and fearlessness. They are also impulsive, egocentric, and needy - traits that are best left unemulated. This seems to be a tad overgeneralized, no?
