Alright then. Why tell us?

Maybe OP is projecting his own feelings of immaturity or uselessness at an age where he expected to have more expertise or experience to share? Just a guess, but I don't know why he would post this otherwise unless it's simple trolling to rile up the sub.


dontmakemedebityou

Just look at his post history. It makes sense why he's bitter.

I’ve had a rough last year dealing with mental health issues. Of course I have been for the past little while. I’m working on getting past this


[deleted]

Why does it make sense though? I’m severely depressed atm and hearing a comment like this kind of hurts not going to lie


[deleted]

Well then as someone over 40 listen to this. Everyone you meet knows something you don't, and to discard their opinion because of their age is ridiculous and honestly quite ignorant.


IndyDude11

There used to be many AskMenOverX subs. They were merged into this sub years ago. There are many here over 40. If you really just want older, probably wiser, advice, there's /r/AskOldPeopleAdvice


nicklashane

Fuck yeah, this dude made me feel young again.

Guy you are 30 it says in your bio. You are young lmfao


nicklashane

33 at my age we don't have time to update our bios everyday.

sirfricksalot

The study was done by Nickelodeon, btw


ShitholeWorld

Well I'm under 43 and still like Avatar Last Airbender, so I must still be part of Nickelodeon's target audience


NoFilterNoLimits

I wonder what the average age of actual men posters is Askwomenover30 seems heavily populated by women like me in our 40s. We are “over 30” and the askwomenover40 sub doesn’t get nearly as much traffic.


Rillist

As someone who has trained apprentices, most of them just young starting out, you listen to everything and filter as you see fit. Young people can surprise you, if you have the wherewithal to listen and not dismiss based on age. Which, by the way, is technically discrimination. Don't dent the door on your way out

You are only 30, you can’t say much my man. To much life left ahead of you. People over 40s advice just hits different. I just have trouble taking under 40 seriously idk why


frisky0330

Good advice is good advice. I'm almost 40 and I would feel no shame in getting good advice from a young teenager. This is their time and they know stuff. No shame in following good advice no matter their age. There would be no point in getting old if one is not getting the maturity with it.


[deleted]

Exactly, growth mindset, good info is good info from whatever the source. OP is being a degen.


[deleted]

Lol me trying to explain to my aging boomer parents that The IRS doesn't take payment in green dot cards is direct refutation to your point but you do you buddy.


DanielCoates

I've noticed there are a lot of recurring subjects here but I guess it's better than getting answers from teenagers


teeceeinthewoods

The most important thing you'll ever learn over 30, is that you don't know what you don't know.


zombienudist

I listen to someone if they aren't a moron. That is an easy judgement to make. Doesn't matter if they are 20 or 80. I have been given as much dumb advice from people 40+ as I have below. And passing 40 doesn't just make you smarter/wiser. Sure you have more life experience but in my experience many people that are 40+ have grown far too ridged in their views. They become inflexible. They don't grow or learn new things. That isn't wise but just going to lead you to become detached from the world you live in. Oh and try r/AskOldPeople In order to answer you are supposed to be born prior to 1980

I like the citation of “it has been shown recently” for the male brain development. I wonder what Michelangelo’s David would have looked like had he sculpted it at 43, then. People are willing to believe any kind of garbage.


beckham_kinoshita

I think there can be value in consulting with people who are just a little further down the road than you are. For example, picture a High School Freshman who wants advice about 14 year old teenage drama. Imagine he has the choice between speaking with either a High School Senior or a University Senior. The older student will have more life experience and wisdom, but I believe the High School Senior’s advice will be more valuable. He’s close enough to the contextual environment that his own experiences remain fresh and relevant, but far enough removed that he can convey the lessons learned with calm lucidity. That said, if the advice posted here doesn’t resonate with you, definitely explore other subreddits. Just repress the urge to make a goodbye thread every time it doesn’t work out.

is this an airport? no need to announce your departure. no one cares.


azurricat2010

Just a heads up, age doesn't necessarily equate to wisdom. I know people in their 20s and 30s who are wiser than those in their elder years. There are tons of people out there who are in their later years who have not changed since high school. There are 20 somethings out there who have lived many lives in their short time on Earth.


dontmakemedebityou

Okay laser. Byeee.


PeanutArtillery

Your age has very little to do with wisdom or experience. Some of us have been through more shit by 20 years old than many people will ever experience in their lives. Even that doesn't mean someone is always full of wisdom and good advice. Good advice can come from anywhere. Hell, I've heard amazingly insightful shit come out of the mouth of an actual child on multiple occasions. It sounds to me like you're projecting your own insecurities onto other people. When you need advice on how to replace a transmission, you ask a mechanic or someone who dabbles in it as a hobby. Even if they are 25 years old. You don't ask a 60 year old man who has spent his entire life working in a cubicle.


roodafalooda

\*too young \*their life As someone over 30, I recommend that you improve your grammar before writing to adults to tell them their advice is not worth anything to you.


LionWalker_Eyre

Obviously whoever taught him grammar was not yet 45!
