Hell, I’ll post a comment -
These videos look very well made, and as a long time “student” of the pick up community, appear to do a good job of actually giving GOOD, VISUAL EXAMPLES of approaches etc.
Good luck to you guys!
(now if you REALLY want to put a dent in the PUA community, do the same thing for us guys over 40…while the general techniques of openers, negs, etc. work on women universally, it’s a much different environment when you get past a certain age…not that I really want to watch videos of geezers hitting on well preserved 50 year olds…)

Hey Carp, we’ll be putting up actual routine examples soon. I understand about the “over 40″ thing, and it’s a topic which comes up sometimes because, at least in the context of showing pickups happening in bars or clubs, it’s not easy to show routines which would work best for over-40 guys. I think you might want to check out the DVD set we released a couple years ago called “The Art of the Pickup” (you’ll see the promo page for it after subcribing). We focus a lot on everyday enviroments in that one, which will simply work better for an over-40s guy than trying to pick up at a bar or club.
But really it also comes down to what kind of over-40 guy are we talking about and what kind of girl he’s looking for? Also what the environment is?
A 40-plus guy going into a club filled with girls in their early-20s will have more hurdles than a lot of the younger guys there but it’s about who you present yourself as. If you keep fit, dress trendy (but not metrosexual), befriend the staff and circulate efficiently, your age will be irrelevant if you can handle yourself. And, it matters less outside of those environments and I would more highly recommend day game than night game. Or, you change the environment to something which would better cater to an audience pre-qualified for you like quieter lounges, continuing ed classes at a university, or parties hosted by your social circle.
The last idea is good, but even better is to host your own parties. I was at a party last night in a beach area, hosted by a doctor who looked to be in his late 40s. Some other men at that party looked around the same age, but mostly the guys there looked anywhere from mid-20s to mid-30s, but almost all the girls were early-20s to late-20s, and most of them were nice. His angle is that he’s a sociable person, befriends a lot of people, mixes it up with his social circles, and throws parties occasionally. It looked like all he had to do was work his environment and have his pick of at least 1/2 the girls.
For over-50s guys, I don’t recommend any kind of bar or club. Once a guy is over 50, he should be completely focused on meeting women in environments that he likes to be in. He just needs to get out and put himself in those environments all the time.

Carp,
I will just add that a lot of guys over 40 want to hit on girls in their 20s and 30s, so having tactics and routines on hand that help with that is perfect for them, as most dont know how to relate to these women in the first place.
Still, a lot of our material could still be applied to women of any age, and we also teach how to develop your own routines targeted to the type of women YOU personally want.
