Not gonna watch the video but I will answer the question:

Yes, age matters because women generally have a preference when it comes to a guy's age. And if you are not within that preference, it makes things very difficult, or more likely: Impossible to succeed with that woman.

Also keep in mind that while there are typical / common age preferences that many women share, there are many that keep unusual preferences for guys much younger or older than herself.

It also depends a bit on the country. In poorer countries women often prefer older men since older men can typically provide a better financial situation.

What age you look matters most

[–]innit2improve 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I mean if you are 95+ it probably is more difficult

[–]epimpstyle 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The guy in the video talks way too much, if he had to repeat what he just said, I'm sure he couldn't do it.

As for whether age matters, it depends on your goal with pickup: are you looking for a hookup or a long-term relationship? If it's just a hookup, you need to go to specific places where a certain type of girls hangs out and you're set, even if you're 50. But if you want higher quality or an LTR... that's where things get tricky, because even a 10 year age gap is already a lot, whether you're older or younger.

Of course it does. Women have age preferences the same way guys do.

Women generally prefer to men the same age or slightly older (1-5 years). There are exceptions of course but this is the general rule of thumb

It’s weird it seems to not matter at all for some girls and for others immediately is a no. 

But part of this is just the obvious stuff that marks your age eg gray hair, I’ve had a lot more success with a cap on for instance. 

If you keep in shape and maybe try to hide graying hair I’d say you can still just as easily pull most 20 years if you want to. 

[–]Broad-Cranberry-9050 -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 day ago (6 children) | Copy Link

In some ways yes and in others no.

I think, especially if you are much older than the person you are flriting iwth or trying to pick up, it's about having that realization of how old you are and look. People think they look younger than they actually look.

Like i have a friendi nhis 40s. Not great at pickup but does fairly well with women his age. But wants to get with mid 20 year olds so badly. One time we were playing softball and after our game hung around a bit to check out the next game. THere's one girl on a team that honestly she was really pretty. Like not curvy, but she was skinny, had a really pretty face, you could tell she dressed nicely (even in her softball uniform), really nice dark hair, etc. My friend kind of nods at us to check her out. As she's hitting he goes up the fence and goes "good luck hoep you get a hit". Then she scores later on and as she's waking to her dugout he gets up again and goes "i really like how you hit", etc. I dont think he meant to look creepy, but as a 40 something year old flirtin with a girl whose probably like 25, it came off a bit creepy. If he had been 25, it might come off as bad flriting but just a young guy not knowing how to flirt and being a bad flirt.

Creepy to whom? Who's even watching?

[–]Broad-Cranberry-9050 -2 points-1 points0 points 1 day ago (2 children) | Copy Link

the girl who clearly was weirded out by it, and us guys who saw it who were a bit embarrassd.

[–]epimpstyle 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (1 child) | Copy Link

A girl who isn't comfortable in a situation will know how to get out of it. And as long as a guy pays attention, he'll realize when he's crossing the line and back off before making a creep of himself or drawing unwanted attention.

Society might think a big age gap isn't moral, but it's ridiculous to worry about morals when my actions aren't hurting anyone... these are two adults, nothing illegal is happening, no one is getting hurt or taking a loss. So... I don't see the problem. If someone doesn't like what they see, it's simple: just look the other way, problem solved.

PS - I say this because I'm 48, and I pretty often find myself talking to women in their 20s... maybe I've become desensitized to it, which is why I talk so easily, but I really don't see any problem with it.

[–]Broad-Cranberry-9050 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) | Copy Link

i agree that what he did was not illegal, he did nothing wrong, and i really do believe the guy just didnt realize how he was coming off.

But my argument is if you are older, being bad at flirting can come off differently. Sure i get it move on. But the guy i have in hand, wont learn from it and learn how to be better at it.

I see you in this page a lot, i also have friends in their 40s who are good at tlaking, chatting and can get a girl in their 20s. It's not syaing guys your ages cant do it, of course you can but what im saying is you gotta move differently a bit. You gotta be smooth with it if you get what i mean. Be confident.

And my point was, the guy in my story because he's not great at chatting up girls especially the yonger they are, it can come off a creepy. SUre, he's not hurting anyone but it's more of a "let's get you to a place of better success".

[–]Key-Watercress2283 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Bruh, that open by him sucked for anyone.

[–]Broad-Cranberry-9050 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree and that's why i said if he had been 25 it doesnt look as creepy it just is bad flirting.
