The wisdom of older men

[Honorable_Juice_BoxParticipant 591]

Evening gents,

I have worked in retail (god help me) for over 6 years.

Throughout this time I have talked to countless older men (and some women) who have told me verbatim: “Never get married.”

In my blue pill days I would laugh and not think twice about it; in the back of my mind I would be thinking “they just chose the wrong person, it will be different for me!”

Across the world, elders have always been viewed as wise, and for good reason.

In those same years I never had a single person tell me to get married, and 95% of the couples (married or not) that I saw interact with one another was no happy scene.

wisdom can be gained by learning from your own experiences, and learning from the mistakes of others……..this thread is a good read for you

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

[RoyDalParticipant]

It is much better to lean from the mistakes of others and not try them for yourself. (Trust me, I’ve done both; learning from others is better.)

The same goes for learning from the successes of others: Follow the trail they blazed to your own successes.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

Appreciate the link, was a good read.

I am glad to have learned from others, had I not discovered MGTOW I can only imagine the horrors my prior blue pill life would have led me to face.

Older men have been through a lot. When everyone keeps saying the same thing, it would only make logical sense that they are at least somewhat right.

But our younger crowd feel like they know everything. Those mean old conservative men! They’re just ignorant. It’s not like they’ve seen the world for 50 years longer than me.

Sometimes it’s not enough to learn from the mistakes of others. Sometimes you have to make the mistake yourself in order to really internalize the lesson. The key is to find a way to minimize the long term damage when you DO make mistakes.

As far as the wisdom of young vs. old, I think a good rule of thumb is that older people are much more wise when it comes to things that don’t change much over time, like human nature. But when it comes to things that are in flux, like technology and culture, young people can sometimes understand things that their elders don’t. When I think back to when I was in my teens and 20s, of course I’m amazed at how clueless I was, but I’m also amazed at how clueless my parents were. An example: my Dad repeatedly told me that I could print out my resume on a dot matrix printer and employers wouldn’t care (!!).

you have to respect older people , they have lived longer and have been through more ..no way around it . one thing i heard alot from older folks was ” whatever you do , don’t get old ” …..like , what are the options ? …there are some young wise people and some old idiots who probably just kept lucking out …ya never know ! ..

Hitman: I’m 51. I’ve seen more s~~~ as I’ve gotten older, but I I’ve said more than once that guys stop “maturing” at about 28. At least I did. I don’t feel any “older”, just more experience. I don’t think I’ve gotten any more mature over the years. So, in that respect, I haven’t gotten “older”.

That’s my interpretation of what that means. And it’s pretty freakin’ awesome to be a guy because we don’t have to mature. The age moves up but the spirit stays the same.

TaxGuy , I’m hearing you man ! same age .. don’t feel it though …good to be male ..like wine brother ..only getting better …

looking back I wish jerked off more. A lot of women were not worth the time,money ,risk of STD’s or pregnancy. As an old man I wish some one had told me when your dick gets hard it cost you money.Your dick swells and cuts off blood to your brain and clear thinking.It is is tough when the scent of pussy has your dick breathing like a cat fish head. women age like milk,men like wine

I can’t think of any marriage success stories…I see so few older women who actually still look like they have any sexual stamina and are all overly entitled. The men, shells of what they once were, including my dad who has been married for about 30 years now…I feel bad for him and don’t understand why he doesn’t divorce. I’ve seem them interact, they’re like two room mates, they don’t really even talk to each other unless they have too. How f~~~ing sad is that? Living with someone you don’t even really like.

As a man you should ask yourself: “WHY CONTINUE THE MADNESS!?”

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. --Einstein
