~fast reply~ I think that there's a difference between those who flaunt all the things they've done, and the people who just have a lot of experiences and are willing to be open to sharing their experience for those who need it. The first sort I tend to be somewhat dismissive of, unless it is a small part of their overall nature and I like them well enough otherwise that it is a minor annoyance. The second type I actually cultivate as friends. People with a broad range of experiences are, in my opinion, great people to have as associates/friends/etc... if they've seen it, done it, been there and back, they usually have -cool- stories to tell, and I really love learning new stuff, so hearing about their experiences gives me an opportunity to explore something that I may not have a lot of knowledge about or something that I am curious about but not so much that I want to run right out and do it without knowing more.
