Just because it's a technique doesn't mean that it's not genuine. Flirting is a social skill which some people just haven't learned: they can't do it even when they want to. By helping them learn the techniques which "come naturally" (=have been learned subconsciously) to others, they can still use them only genuinely, or they can choose to fake it, just as people who acquired the skills without coaching can.
