My new favorite thing on SoSuave is people replying seriously to a thread that is 13 years old, as if the original people are going to read it.
It raises a good point, though. Some advice that still gets floated around is so incredibly dated, and you need to know what to use and what to adapt for modern times.
The first time I ever read any kind of dating advice, it was David Deangelo Double Your Dating. I was 19 or 20 and in college. The line he told you to use was, just as you're walking away from a girl, "hey, do you have email?"
Well, in 2004, of course everyone had email. Imagine if I asked that! Yet there are still some poor kids who find SoSuave, read an old article, then go up to a girl at a bar and say, "can I get your HOME phone number"
Haha. Good grief.
