Whats funny.....well not really.....is the conclusions all have you have drawn off...a mere couple hundred posts i have made on here. you base all of your "advice" or "learned knowledge" off of the fact that i am 22.
the post was simply ...yes..geared towards the under 30 but also in life in general...the title was a bit misleading.
I like Salmo G. perspective on me. its what everyone tells me. its what i have heard my whole life from "adults" even as a kid. i am an only child. i have learned alot of what i know from watchin "older" folks flounder around in post adolescence and mid-life crisis. The ability to define who you are, what kind of power you have, and what your going to do. What i will laugh at down the road is the mentality of what i think i am doing in life and where i am going to be. its unrealistic and is probably way off. One thing i have observed...ha ha ha controlled, manipulated, convinced, changed, helped, laughed at, and read about basically my whole life is human behavoir. Mostly a facination of why i do the idiot things i do. the emotions that drive it and the logic that i think i have.
I can tell you if a womens a keeper, i need to watch a little longer , or a kick her to the curb in the first five minutes i meet them. a few key questions that pinpoint the expiereinces she's had as a child and how she has dealt with (or the lack thereof) the emotional struggles in becoming an adult. Also a few key questions of how far along her critical thinking is that enables her to have a little better common sense than the average person their age. Insecurites. morals ( the actual ones, not the bull crap ones they "think" you are swallowing as they tell you) values, and lastly goals.
first five minutes. 99% of the girls i meet every day...dont even make it 3 minutes. They are written off as either someone to watch for a few years, or just friends.
So when you guys spout off about how "this" or "that". Your preaching to the choir. you know the old adage "you will thank me when your older"
i started thanking my dad for all the crap he made me do when i turned 19. It helped me do alot of things that my other friends couldnt do. It was also the year i forgave my dad.
i am also not like you old folks....lecturing/forcing opinions/or biased advice. I am just here to tell you my expeiriences, how i think they can help anybody become a more confident, happier person. whether it be with women or with life in general.
"Reading bits and pieces of this has made me laugh harder than anything I've read in quite a while. Kind of like a high school sophomore who's just polished off his first 6 pack telling me how to drink, or a guy fresh back to the dock from his first charter trip with a couple 4 pound coho lecturing me on how to fish..........thanks for the entertainment ............... "
Well i am here to entertain. : ) also to say that just because you "think" you know something doesnt always mean its the "right" or "correct" way of going about things. Not to say that i am right either. but assuming an arrogant attitude that you know better than someone you have never met before, or spoke with about any issues whatsoever, is at the least.....ignorant. Just irritating.
and yes Salmo G..... i think out of all the people here i would peg you for the smartest. The attitude of your posts suggests that you are fairly modest person with a good "loose" view on life and how you should live it. People like you that have open minds and are willing to honestly challenge your way of thinking.....i have MASSIVE respect for. it takes a big person to alwyas take a look at what they think is "right" or "correct" no matter how much they beleive in it ...and second guess it. Something i learned in a few books i have read

your vocabulary, and manner of "speaking" also leads me to beleive that you are funny, learned, and have had a few expieriences in just about anything. nothign realyl phases you. also quick to apologize....very big in my book.
anyway. hadnt checked this in awhile...jsut thought i would check in to see some more "old opinions"
