I had sort of a breakdown when I thought about this in middle school.
If you want to be factory about it, speed and efficiency.
If you want to be pseud about it, pick up dumb qthipster chicks.

Because if you have to take your phone out to google something for any reason other than proving yourself correct, to some Debbie Doubtsalot, you've essentially admitted that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

in order for that info to be practical you'd need to be able to apply that knowledge when you meet the girl. you can't just meet the girl, google how to speak with them properly as you're there with them, then apply that. you need to have retained the info prior to meeting with them

Philosophy is a good example.
Do it by yourself and you will most likely develop faulty methods that have already been invented and discredited, or that have been formulated in a most poignant and academic way.
Studying philosophy will teach you how to navigate concepts and thoughts efficiently. It doesn't matter what philosophy are you studying, this will be the result of you thinking and contemplating for hours and hours everyday: it will make your thought process more agile.
The concents themselves will help too, since you will be able to compare your ideas to ours, to experience new ways to expose an idea, and to see if what you've thought so far was unoriginal or underdeveloped.

Checking random facts on google will help you answering easy question while being absolutely oblivious of why that is the right answer. Studying accademically will train you to both analyze and create.

Also, fuck technology.
