Its old.

The stuff in The Game works and will always work, there's just a lot of stuff that's much better now.

Its like the difference between making a hole with a mechanical hand drill vs using an electronic power drill. Both are effective at fulfilling their purpose, the newer one is just superior.

Almost all good dating advice can be traced back to pick up artists. The majority of advice here came from people who have been exposed to the old school stuff or people who have learned from people who have been exposed to that stuff.

The reason the good advice can be traced back mostly to them is because pick up artists were the first group of people who were willing to rigorously test all kinds of approaches to dating in the real world to figure out what works and what doesn't.

People who give advice without much time "in the field" as Neil puts it in The Game, are just giving theoretical advice, not advice based on what they've experienced to work first hand consistently over significantly numerous interactions and through directly observing it work for their peers to similar extents.

The stuff that has been proven to work in the real world has just been refined throughout the years by them and by the people they've taught and by the people taught by the people they taught and so on.

So odds are, if theres someone you like getting dating advice from right now, if you do a little digging you'll definitely find his or her connection to pick up artists.

It's great when you're starting out. The new stuff is incredibly powerful, but it may seem a bit general and unspecific to people who are just getting started. If you read the oldschool pua stuff and start trying it to some extent, after a while you will start to realise that all those routines and techniques are just the prepared version of what you would do 'naturally' when you've been learning the new stuff. For instance, oldschool pickup might have canned routines that will make you appear confident and high value, while if you're doing the new stuff you will just be those things naturally without having to use canned routines.

But as I said, the new stuff might seem very vague and even useless to newbies. I know it did to me. So I'd say by all means use the oldschool stuff for a while as training wheels and after a while you'll just 'get it' and understand why those routines work. And you'll be able to lose the canned stuff and just do it naturally.

Here's the explanation for the most famous dated stuff. Peacoking is just the realization that it's better to be a bit dorky/weird and in the limelight than to be the coolest guy no one is paying attention to. Negging is the realization that conflict and negative emotions aren't always to your disadvantage.
