I was wondering whether the tagline "No luck with the ladies? Don't worry nerdboy, just... carry on spading" doesn't implicitly preclude contemplation of the affirmative roles and responsibilities of single ladies and spading?
It could simply be an oversight on the part of U2J - it doesn't seem immediately obvious that single ladies who don't want to stay single ladies are somehow incapable of spading.
Mind you, if it is a deliberate oversight, this is not necessarily worthy of reproach - after all, the series is about the Spade-MEN, the only one of whom has a steady female companion being Mock-Man, and that is likely only because he didn't have a choice in the matter.
So it could be that U2J chooses to only offer insights into spading for dissatisfied single males, possibly for narrative reasons, or possibly because sometimes you've simply got to start somewhere when examining complex sociological phenomena. No doubt there are other entirely plausible rationales, too.
Or maybe a teaser tagline is sometimes simply a teaser tagline, and not too much should be read into it - a lesson all slathering fanboys and fangirls ideally should learn sooner rather than later.

Doesn't the above suggestion implicitly preclude contemplation of the affirming empowerment which can be experienced by fully emancipated nerdgirls who may also seek from a mentoring authority figure guidance in the ways of acquisition a life?

Dear U2J,

All I can say in response to that is "get a life nerdboy!"
