I think that people should consider the source when looking at the value of the posts they are reading. If the thread is about relationships, and the poster wants to stay away from women for his entire life - including his mom and sisters - I don't think that they have much to offer in terms of advice or insight when it comes to relationships.
You have a point but I can also say that if you dated twenty years ago and are married now you can't give advice on relationships in this generation.

What would the cut off be? I met my husband 12 years ago - not 20 years ago. I'm in my 30's. Does that make a difference? Or is the cut off 8 years ago? 2 years ago? Today?
And really - if someone says that they want to avoid all women for the rest of their lives, do you really have to be their SAME AGE to know that their posts are basically meaningless when it comes to relationships?

He's agreeing with you, one most certainly SHOULD consider the source when reading these posts. If someone feels that the advice of someone who has chosen to stay away from women is invalid, then they should consider that when reading said person's posts. The same holds true for someone who's been out of the dating game for X years; if someone feels that their advice may be outdated or inapplicable, they should consider that when reading said person's posts as well.
I'm not going to go into the specifics of whether one person's advice is less useful than another's based on those merits alone, but we do have a few posters (not referring to you specifically, Dewdrop) whose advice is SUPREMELY out of touch, and I'd attribute a significant portion of that due to their experiences being a bit...."outdated".
Edit: Just to add a bit of self-deprecation to the post...some people are certainly justified in ignoring the advice of someone who sleeps around as much as I do as well. People are likely best served in seeking the advice of those who can provide something useful...and it's up to the reader to determine who that is (or isn't).

Do you think your posts are helpful so far the only thing they do is give false hope.
for men it's literally a matter of knowing how to get a relationship, women don't need to know how to get a relationship since it just happens out of thin air for them
