Less driven by hormones equals smarter decisions. Lol
You're probably right because I don't think that any point all ever look back to when I was younger and say that I was wiser at that time, but that does not keep me from making stupid mistakes going forward.One of the common adages you hear is that with age, comes wisdom.
I routinely find myself saying "If I had had known then, what I know now....", but in reality, I'm not entirely sure I am any wiser in my 30s, than I was as a young man.
While I certainly have more life experience, it seems that it is always difficult to look at a situation impartially, regardless of age. So while I can give young people some really great advice, when it comes to myself, I find that I simply repeat the same mistakes (and arguably, with even much weightier consequenes).
For some of the older guys out there, would you say that age has brought you wisdom?
I think the life they're talking about is probably when you have kids, not when you turn 30. I'm 30 now, my kid is eight years old, and I know my wife's just started. It's all in perspective. If beer pong and whores was your life, then yeah, your was probably over at 30.I know so many people that says life is over after 30.
Personally speaking.
Like someone said its not just experience but ability to perceive and analyse.
Some dumb fucks never learn, always trying to ice skate uphill.

that's cool man and I wasn't referencing you, I was referencing whoever said to you that life is over at 30. I've also heard the same thingMost of my close friends are a lot younger than me. Some of them are still in college. BTW I'm 38. I was talking about guys my age and older.

The older I get, the dumber I realize I am. That's sort of like wisdom.
