Oh hey, a covert Pratchett reference! Completely did not notice that the first time round.
Mad Cat:
The idea of Cliffs Notes on girls to help boys "manage" them, or just manage to bang them, is just the tiniest bit offensive to my feminist side.

Yeah, but fair's fair... Sven is a walking "Hey I want to fuck girls because I'm so awesome and guys are like that" stereotype. He's more than a little offensive to guys, in and of himself.

They're all broken.
Some (i.e., Dora) are just better at hiding it than others.
And remember, he used a cheat code, but you can only get the Bad Ending if you do that.

Fortunately, he's balanced by guys like Marten in the comic, so we know he's meant to be an exception and an individual, not just "how all guys are" or something silly like that. (Compare and contrast with the protagonist of, say, Least I Could Do.)
As far as Cliff Notes for potential dates, it seems less like a request for help in "managing" Faye, and more like a cry of "I had no idea what I was getting myself into in terms of emotional entanglements". But even so, there was really no reason for Marten to tell Sven anything about Faye's past - he was her friend, not his, and she shared the info about her father in a private talk with him, and it was pretty clearly a big deal for her to divulge. For Marten to tell Sven something that private, or even just to say, "Faye has some real trouble with relationships sometimes but I can't really tell you any more, so good luck with that", would probably have been a violation of the trust Faye placed in him.
