I apologize if it came off as bashing, that was not my intent, but stastically, the "older" you are, the harder it is to change habits, or change in general when you get set in your ways. (statstically... it gets harder to "change" as you age, at least thats what I was always taught in my psych classes. -- habits are easier to change when you are younger, and the longer you do them, the harder it gets to break them. -- this is what I meant by adapt. I will try to be mores specific in the future to prevent any miscommunication!)
A lot of this is opinion as well, my Master is quite a bit older then me, and he does have a lot of patience, more so then someone younger might, but thats not set in stone either, but everyone has to LEARN.... you don't stop learning just because you turn 50.. you don't stop learning... just because your 90. I think of everyone of "every" age has something to offer... that was my point. I will try and clarify myself better in the future.

You see, the underlined part above is where you are having a problem. I was going to ask you where you felt that young people were being put down. The other thread you spoke of was a humorous thread, mostly. Everyone here no matter what their age gets hazed, you need to deal with it.
But, statements as I have underlined above are precisely what makes others roll their eyes at younger people, if they indeed do.
You are saying "statistically' this and "statistically" that and in your "psych" classes..come on now...You are putting all that out to people in their 40's, 50's and beyond who already KNOW and have gone through many, many life experiences. These life experiences have shaped people and in the process, they make you stronger, more self aware, more evolved, possessing more coping skills, knowledge, and tools to change, adapt, or do whatever it needs that one needs to do in order to sustain themselves and thrive.
I would not be so quick to take umbrage at those who say that younger people lack experience; I was into BDSM since my earliest recollection, participating first time at age 16. Did I think I knew anything? No. Would I have gone on a site like this and pretended that I did? Hell no. I probably would have lurked for a while and got my footing and then slowly but surely participated.
Someone pointed out correctly that youth thinks they know it all while older knows that they simply do not and no one ever knows enough.
You are perfectly welcome to participate and add your life experiences and thoughts here but do not take offense where none is meant while simultaneously offending those who you accuse of doing it to you.
