If you have a flower and call it, "a great smelling, beautiful shade of red, perfection in bloom, with each petal perfectly sculptured, so exquisite that it causes your heart to flutter", all you have done is shaded the fact that it is still a flower.

That's funny.
I haven't read the book, but it would be my guess that he's tired of women who have to qualify everything with a descriptive adjective.
He means eliminate all the descriptive words (adjectives) and just get the response down to the bare words, which are the plain facts, with no adjectives dressing them up and making them more descriptive or lending emotion to those bare facts with emotive adjectives.
