Actually I think you're missing the point. Certainly he could actively engage in strategies that work in online dating, and doing so would increase his chances of success in getting dates through online dating sites. His point is that in doing so he plays a very different game to other dating environments - like amateur opera - and that the whole game is unpleasant and unappealing to him. That's pretty much the point of the original video as well.
Self depreciation is actually quite charming - but I really doubt it would work in online dating. So if I was actually trying to give WilliamLP dating advice, it would be to find avenues more suited to his talents. But if we're discussing online dating I think I'd say the things it emphasizes and encourages are contrary to the things that find good compatible relationships.
