I'd read that his folks had hired some "counselors" to basically hang out with him and help him with socialization. Two guys and a woman, IIRC, in sequence. He dismissed the woman because he said he felt like she was a prostitute paid to be with him. (And I'm guessing she wasn't Swedish Bikini Team hot enough for him.)

I'm guessing in the PUA crowd, paying for a prostitute is not acceptable, or at least "doesn't count."
