I think that part of the problem is that while the younger crowd may have a tighter grasp of the pickup material, the context of an older person's circumstances is probably going to be less familiar. Being 27, working a full-time, salaried job, and having an apartment to care for probably means that I have responsibilities and priorities that a 17-year-old may not have personally dealt with. Perhaps it is confirmation bias, but I observe that younger PUAs seem able to invest a lot more time into practicing than I am.
This should not be shocking. Pickup is rife with stories of people who have failed their classes, lost their jobs, or stopped participating in all of their other hobbies. I refuse to let that be me. Mystery certainly doesn't help. He talks about pickup like you should be practicing it (night-game in particular) 4 nights a week. I suspect that might even be feasible for a younger PUA. I find that I am able to practice day-game twice a week.
I see a lot of threads that talk about incorporating Game into other pursuits. "How do I game at school?" "How do I game at work?" "How do I game at the gym?" Is there a broad guideline that exists for using pickup when you are doing something else? (and not just something else that gives you a pretense to be there; something else that involves actually getting other things done)
This is a fantastic point, but to be frank there is endless opportunities to game. Do you walk in the street? Do you go to coffee shops? Do you go to shops?
I personally disagree with the "Go out to sarge" idea, its not very healthy or attractive to go out ONLY to pick up women.
Go about your day and if you see a women along your way talk to them
If you dont have time to do that I would personally re-evaluate my work/play balance
I can understand that many younger people wont have experience working 9-5 in a actual job but to the same extent the same principles are still at play. This is why all these "sarge at work" "sarge at school" type threads offer little use because of what the people who make them are looking for.
Effectively the people who make such threads want to know how to apply their knowledge of PU, unfortunatly there is a near infinite amount of possibility's on how to meet women. No one person no matter their age can tell any other person how to apply PU to ever situation since no one person has experienced even a fraction of all possibility's.
Therefore, rather than complaining that someone advice doesn't apply because of their age people are simply complaining they have to adapt the principles to their own situation. "Give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish he'll eat for life" is a perfect analogy here.
The other thing that concerns me with this "under 18's advice cant be taken seriously" is that will the things I say suddenly become more credible in 5months when I turn 18? When you look at it that way can you seriously argue your hypothesis that age is directly proportional to PU knowledge is sound? I will agree there is corrolation between the two factors but as with most things there are exceptions, and because of these exceptions making blanket statements like "under 18's advice cant be taken seriously" seems rather narrow minded.
