Randomly came across an old Mystery post while going through the archives looking for something else, and felt it'd fit here as well as anything:

Mystery said:
I think it better to throw a 'change your type' pattern than to embark on
trying to change yourself to fit the girl more closely. I have been with
5ft tall girls and Im 6ft5. What made that happen? I would get to the
height thing right away and say, "Can you get over the height difference?"
They say, "sure" and its all good. They say, "I donno" and I say "bye".
They feel bad at it becomes a pleasant NEG.

In the case of age, the routine would simply be:

HER: How old are you?​
YOU: [your age]. You?​
HER: [her age].​
YOU: Can you get over the age difference?​
HER: Sure / I don't know. → [if she says she doesn't know] YOU: "Bye."​

This is some good old school Mystery "I'm the hot one here and if you have a problem with it I have no time for you" tech.

Anyway, throw that into your toolbox as another option for dealing with age objections!

Is the idea here to keep hanging around, and see if she changes her mind? Because if you just say bye and walk off, she might regret it but then you're already gone.

I don't know what Chase meant/Mystery exactly but

1) say 'Bye' and gauge her reaction, no need to run away,
2) if you're at a bar, just backturn, see if she re-engages.
Okay, that makes sense. So I guess it would work better in a closed environment, than for example during a street or beach approach.
