What Would I Say to the Younger Me? 

huMAN's point about people using sex to avoid intimacy was bang on. Lot of good points brought up.

There are not many positive aspects to getting old...but there are a few. A few weeks have passed since we recorded this conversation, and because my memory has weakened, it's all fresh, new content to me as a listener!! :)

The older man sees himself in the younger man... The older woman thinks that she IS the younger woman.

Not to pull away from anyone in the conversation, but it is good to hear from Spetsnaz. Either way, could listen to conversations like this for hours on end. Thanks mate.

Such a good conversation! As a 32-year-old guy, I surely learned from this. It's a shame that most of the older men where I come from don't talk to younger men in an open hearted fashion like this, even when they have something to teach. Most of what I hear is the shaming argument of "back in my day" over and over again. Thank you, huMAN and the other guys for making this.

Great conversation

I found the last argument about how not only are Men losing their space, but Women's spaces are being invaded. I had not considered that point. It might be a very interesting conversation if you were able to find a Woman to bring into the conversation to give her viewpoint on the intrusion into their space and contrast with the intrusion into Men's spaces.

Take more risks and go for the opportunities that show up even if you’re not sure that’s what you want

What would I say to my younger self? "Sean, stay off the grog and stick with your first job".......

Always enjoy a good conversation, some interesting points brought up.

Funny how Boffin mentioned going through the physical test for the Fire Department. I tried it and they had to call the EMT because I almost passed out 😒.

Young men don’t care to listen to old men.

8:43 The exception of women that try this are crucified by other women for doing so. A RU-vidr called IAmCourtneyMichelle I've seen is one such exception that openly uses the mistakes she made (now a single mother) to try advise young women not to repeat them. The girl power lot lose their minds when she does this, but she's defiant. Others just give up in the end.

Women do talk to each other about failures, however, more often than not it happens in private. I do talk about my mistakes and what I have done wrong to my daughter. As a person who didn't come from a rich household, I can never relate to women from rich households, they seem fake and superficial. Nevertheless, a lot of things that I was learning from older women (non-rich women) turned out to be false, but now that I think about it they spoke from their place of limited knowledge, so I don't hold a grudge against them, because all they did is try to survive and they didn't know any better. If you grew up like a weed in the field, unfortunately, most likely you will end up learning from the wrong people and from your mistakes because generally, those who could give constructive advice aren't there for you and no one cares about someone else's kid. Therefore, you surround yourself with folks that have lots of problems in their lives and a lack of knowledge.

I seldom have time lately, life gets in the way, but this chat is the one I will listen to with a nice scotch after work 😊

48:30 @Spetsnaz well, isn't that what they wanted? men and women to be equal? if men and women are equal, how can you tell that a trans-woman is not a real woman? from a social stand-point it's kinda tragic, but, also, you can have a laugh at it because it's just CLOWN-WORLD

Not gonna watch, just came to say everything I would tell my younger self would get him put on every possible list.

Khaoru. Where's your channel? Are you playing devil's advocate or what?

I really need you to bring back Colttaine & get rid of Kharou-!!
