Typically never does.

Some begin the journey in that direction when they realize just how dumb they are.

Liberals never get to that point.

I don't know if it's so much a particular age. I'd say that when a man becomes a father for the first time (in a traditional role). I'm not talking about getting some chick knocked up and doing what you can to try to make it work. I'm talking about when you get married and you and your wife decide to have a baby. Your whole outlook on life changes when that baby is born.

It's not about age, it's about life experiences.

I'm in my early 30's and wise as frick. Unfortunately the price was years and years of suffering, and now I feel like I'm 100 years old.

Serious answer, the same age women start thinking his flirting with them is cute instead of creepy.

I'd guess I'm much older than anyone of you youngsters on here.

Truthfully, I spend as much time as I can around young people as I learned many years ago, one does not need to get so old and set in their ways that they can't learn.

In other words, the older I get, the dumber I realize I am.

On the other hand, I spend as much time as I can explaining stuff to my grandchildren as I don't want them to make the same dumbass mistakes I made.

A wise man knows he isn’t wise enough and that there is always more to learn.

When one learns that one never truly achieves wisdom but can only strive to become wiser with each passing day.

That or about tree fiddy

It's a journey, my friend. I'm 57. The key is to realize that, despite what many contend, you don't have to learn from personal experience. While the intelligent learn quickly from their own mistakes, the truly wise learn from the mistakes of others.
