Anyone else feel like a lot of the methods in this book aren't all that applicable anymore? Being a college student, it seems like especially in my younger generation that it is much more against social norms to go up to strangers and just talk to people you don't know.

If any of you are familiar with Jack Denmo on youtube, he is from Canada and does a lot of public socializing/pickup lines with strangers and he recently tried it at UMiami in his newest video. He remarked how much weirder people were about talking to strangers here in the US than in Canada which was interesting.
