ITT: Age 30+ gents give advice to younger brahs. (Reps)

[l2ambo]

I know there are other threads like this but there can never be enough advice from experienced minds IMO.
I'm turning 25 in 2 weeks and I could really use some advice. Fire away gents.

Will be repping good contributions.

[l2ambo]

Bump of peace.

[lostkunt]

it's lower than you think

[Zmeister]

Enjoy and make the most of everyday like it's the last...

Spend time with family and friends...

Be happy and bring happiness to others...

Don't take life to seriously because you never know what's around the corner...

Don't let negative people bring you down as these are destined to fail in life and will be forever unhappy...

What would you like to know Op?

[Joska]

Read as much as you can. Wish I'd taken this advice in high school.

[Oakbearer]

im 17 lay me some advice

[keels141]

No one ever works it out. Life is a constant trade off between enjoying yourself now and doing the "smart" thing and saving for the future, there's no right or wrong answer to it. It is all just experience, but it is YOUR experience so make the most of it.

Nothing is more important than finding out who you are.

[USMARINE8152]

....31 so fml I'll go first.

Do not I repeat DO NOT! get married unless you're sure. My first marriage was hell. I stayed as long as I did for my kid.
Try not to get to much debt. I got screwed in my divorce and got stuck with a ton of debt. It took me 5 years to pay it off. Just got back to what is considered a good credit score.
Focus on your job make sure you bust your ass and work hard I see guys in their 30 ' s even 40 ' s not sure what they want to do and sad to say "we ain't getting any younger"
Use good form when lifting. You're not Kai green or jay cutler or Ronnie Coleman doing their workouts or using **** form will only lead to injury. Also if your 21 you don't need ****ing test boosters. That's all for now gotta go wake my kids for school, forgot I did remarry this time to someone a little bit older then me who is not a ****ing psycho.

[ChiBearsfan]

Put a minimum of 10% of your income in your 401K/retirement plan.

[BetaAsPhuck]

[USMARINE8152]

Also forgot.....you don't know it all. I learned that at 29. Always ask.a question if you don't know something and once you realize your not a know it all you should be ok.

[irish brah]

If you haven't travelled the world, do it now while you're still young.

Find a nice girl now because by the time they hit 30 most are washed up (srs)

Until you find a nice girl slay everything that moves, you'll be with the nice girl long enough.

Best of luck young Jedi.

Someone rep this guy, I gave out too much recently. I'll get you tomorrow. I feel for you with the whole kid thing. I also commend you for staying as long as you did for the little ones. Solid advice is solid.

There isn't a specific age to settle down but if you think your 21 year old gf who just got the ability to get drinks at a club is the "one" I got some bad news for you. I'm not being a dick it's just stuff I saw and delt with.

[Hesher]

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need.

[Zmeister]

It's is fine to settle down in your 20's bro...

You will know when the time is right. Just make sure it's someone who deserves you and that they are just as committed to the relationship as you are. Being loving towards you and making happy is a must if you intend to settle down. Just beware of the sloots, gold diggers and poosay trappers!

[USMARINE8152]

Yes but us time on your side?

Turning 25 shortly too, got him.

[Miked1978]

Don't worry about being alpha, if you do worry you're not alpha and never will be.

Don't marry a sloot. There are good girls out there.

Don't lose sight of your goals.

Take responsibility for EVERYTHING you do. Man up.

Support your self. Don't depend on mommy & daddy for anything. Don't live with them unless you have no other choice. Don't ask them for money.

If you want to go to college but don't have the money get a job. Work as much as you can if not full time and go to college at night or when you can. By working a job you don't really want to do it will give you the motivation needed to get your degree. It took me 8 years to finish my college degree but i worked fulltime the entire time.

Well I feel vulnerable saying this but I'm just starting to realize that life is sort of like a game to be played and the people that can use other people the most, get the most. I've been reflecting on my life a lot lately and have realized that I've been used, pushed over, ridiculed, manipulated sooo much. I guess I'm ready to play the game and own it but I wish there wasn't a game to be played in the first place. Nom sayin? Before I just wanted to look for the best in people but I have come to realize that circumstance molds us in different ways. Some peoples circumstances mold them into devils as a form of self defense and survival, others are born into the right circumstance and they're molded into angels. I want to keep objectively good morals as well as keep my good intentions. I guess I don't want to turn into a devil. I don't know if anyone will pick up what I'm putting down but hopefully some brahs can see where I'm coming from.

[V.I.C]

All of you in your 20's I say now is your time to work as hard as you can and drive when it comes to work. Do it while you have fewer responsibilities and if it means sacrificing a little or taking a risk to get some where do it now. You have time on your side to make mistakes, start over or really get ahead.

Ensure you maintain a good balance between enjoy yourselves and working hard.

[Mcfreako]

Choose ur friends carefully

Nope. If thats what you enjoy then do it.

Spend your time getting better at what you love to do. The pursuit of excellence is important, and relentless practice does pay off.

[op4r]

As a young adult, one thing I DO know is to always credit those who you're inspired from. Say what you see.
@OP, you know what I'm talking about.

I Re-typed all of this out, hopefully someone learns something from it.
From a 4chan post tl;dr -
"Old guy here to settle a few things and offer some advice.
1. Although I don't believe in God, Atheists can be (and usually are) annoying as religious idiots. Keep both your beliefs and lack of to yourself, no one wants to hear it.
2. Circumcision is the worst decision and well-intended a parent can make for their son. It's not natural.
3. You are friend-zoned because women construe your excessive emotionality and want as feminine and needy. A woman wants to lose herself and feel secure in your masculinity. Most women are emotional and neurotic enough without having to deal with your emotional chit.
4. Never tolerate a woman's bullchit. If a woman is upset, distract them: pick them up and dance, tell a story, take her for a walk. If that doesn't work, leave her alone. If it never works, dump her. And remember, infidelity is never justifiable. A woman who uses you to rescue her, she will eventually use another man for the same thing.
5. Emo and self-pity is narcissism disguised as depth.
6. Contrary to popular belief, depression is not a painful experience. Depression is a numbing strategy usually developed in childhood as a way to keep you safe from the consequences of your anger. An emotionally healthy person can allow himself to feel anger without reacting to it. When you numb yourself from real pain (anger), you block off the joy in your life and become depressed.
7. Cigarettes stunt emotional growth. Smoking seems fun because life at an early age is relatively easy. But look at a smoker in his/her 40s and tell me they look happy.
8. Japanese culture is not amazing. Japanese culture is oppressive and stifling, and that's why so many of them kill themselves.
9. Spend time with other men. Spending time with a hunting party (camping, sports, beach, pub etc.) creates a sense of belonging, well-being and safety in this world. It is also how we make connections.
10. The older you get, the more your market value increases. Women at your age are over-valued in society. By the time you're 30-40, it will be a man's market. Don't be in such a hurry to commit.
11. Do not have a child unless you have been with her for more than a few trouble-free years. If you have a kid with a kunt, prepare to support a family that you will NEVER be a part of.
12. Sometimes your dick knows things better than you do. If you can't get it up for a particular woman, that is your subconscious telling you that she is not right for you.
13. Never marry a woman unless she loves you more than you love her.
14. Your impending sense of doom is nothing but emotional residue - there is nothing wrong. Even when something is wrong, nothing is actually wrong. You deal with problems as they arise, no big deal.
15. Honour is a male abstraction. Don't expect women to understand."

From my little knowledge as a young adult:
1. Stop spending so much time trying to work out others, and investing in them. Love yourself. Spend time on yourself.
2. The future doesn't exist yet. Stop focusing on it.
3. Always be appreciative, show your love and appreciation (having been in a car crash myself).
4. Stop acting like you know what existence is. Nobody knows.

Steer clear of people like that. It's clearly not who you are. Just be mindful and skeptical of things.

[Kiwikind]

- Work hard, but not too hard. Life is to be enjoyed.
- Value money, but not above all else.
- If you are in a position to buy a property, do it. It's not as scary as you think, and the investment is almost always worth it...
- ...but assuming your mortgage allows overpayments (make sure it is, you'll save thousands in interest), overpay when you can but not so much that you never have money for fun things in life.
- Don't wait until you're retired to travel.
- Don't get marries and/or have kids unless you absolutely know you want them. Don't feel you have to just because that's what everyone else is doing, and don't think you'll lose all your friends if you don't do what they do. You'll always meet other people like you.
- Don't let your health and fitness go. Very easy to fall into a trap of working late, having beers to relax, have a takeaway, skip workout, and repeat.
- Understand that your body will start to slow down a bit. It's only been in the last year, but I have noticed a difference in recovery, aches and pains
- Perhaps above all, consider what YOU want out of life first and foremost. This is not a selfish viewpoint provided you do this before you start settling down, having kids and so on. It isn't selfish to say that you want to earn money just for yourself, but it is selfish if you get married, have kids and still want to do the same.
