This relates to the r and K strategies we see in the wild.
In nature, we see organisms that reproduce using an "r" strategy, where their resources are spent in producing offspring, and not nurturing them. This strategy is seen in bugs, fish, and plants, who lay many eggs or disperse many seeds. A lot may die, but if a few survive, then it is a success in the books.
In contrast, a "K" strategist spends more resources in the development of their offspring, and in turn, increasing the offspring's chance of survival. This strategy is seen in humans, and most mammals. Only a few offspring are produced, but they are much more likely to survive.
The same strategies can be applied to seduction techniques. I have a certain amount of resources I can consume on any given night. I can use the r strategy and approach 40-50 girls in a night, and if 2 of those approaches prove to be "successful" down the road, then it works. Little investment in each interaction, more rejections as well.
I can also use a K strategy, and invest more time and resources into the interactions I find fitting. I may miss out on some girls I find attractive, but the chances of "succeeding" in the interactions I invested in are much higher.
On a side note: I would like to argue that giving value to a girl or an interaction is not necessarily the same as "entertaining" them.
