For guys who are in their 30s or up, what advice would you give us younger guys (late teens to 20s) when it comes to life (education, women, money, having fun, etc) in general. I'm pretty curious about this and would like to hear different opinions.

    I like hanging around with younger people and find that most of them can barely keep up

    i know a lot of people enjoy cheap or simple things. nothing wrong with that. tastes don't have to be pretentious or status signalling to be legit

    so like, don't ever be one of those guys who tells another person how he should drink his whiskey or his beer or that his taste in wine is terrible. the right drink is the one you enjoy you know?

    that's just an example i guess, but a lot of guys are like that, and it is okay to think those things, but being the guy who speaks on it out loud, to tear down someone else to make yourself look better, it's just a bad look.

    I agree, unless you're drinking really crappy beer.

    Find what you love and make a career out of it. I know it's cliche, but that doesn't make it less true.

    i love sleeping what career can i make out of it

    That's not for me to figure out. Hopefully there are other things you love.

    The past is a memory, the future a dream so live in the present moment. Smile and practice gratitude every day.
    And that's advice from a real old guy.

    Good stuff Mr. Yogi.

    To quote Bill Bullard and words to live by...

    “Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge… is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.”

    It takes a lot of restraint to not open your mouth in the form of a pez and just let it all spew out of one's mouth.

    Here's one.. don't call people who're like what, 2 years older then you? Old.

    Nice trolling and nice fallacy, I never knew people who were 30 years old were 2 years older than me AT 25 years old lmao. Your math sucks.

    Learn how to save and invest money. Nothing worse then thinking you'd like to retire, but CAN'T because you can't afford to.
    Also be READY to tie the knot and have kids if that's your intention. Don't just THINK that's what you want. Make sure you're ready for that commitment. If there's any hesitation, you may not be ready.

    Marriage nowadays is too risky especially with kids so I'll pass. It will take a certain type of woman who ain't gonna rip me off to convince me otherwise.

    Respect yourself. Admire yourself. Improve yourself. Exceed yourself.

    I like this thread.
    Someone needs to make one where us old ladies give the younger ones advice.

    You lost all respect when you let us know your musical choices

    As to the OP, I don't mind being called older than someone a decade or more younger than I, because I AM older than that person, but the OP is 25 and calling 30-year-olds older? That doesn't make any sense. I do feel like this entire thread is kind of a dig. Not to me, to the guys on here, apparently.

    Even given that there's some wisdom here. If OP is even loosely honest about wanting to learn from his own question, he would be wise to read, and heed. IMO.
