Okay, let me see...

F = p/h where F is the fit and p/h is the peg to hole ratio.

(Oh and please, just a little respect. I haven't gone by Scotty for about twenty years.

)

Okay, I'm getting into the smileys too much. lol

No one taught me how to tie my shoes we had velcro! We invented velco in fact, you and your laces these are the old ways.

Wait a minute - you mean you had shoes when you were a kid? They hadn't invented them yet when I was a boy. In fact, they'd barely invented feet. My older brother had to drag himself to school through the snow, under a blistering August sun, on just his flippers.

Now, if any of these fine people had read my profile, they would realize that the only things I have even half figured out are things about myself, I never claimed to be a Goddess among mere mortals or better than anyone. God forbid a child of 22 years old ever write any sort of independent thought! I write journals when I feel something very strongly and I'll never apologize for that.

So, basically what I'm trying to get at is this: I wish people would stop basing so many of their opinions of other people on a superficial thing like how many years they've been on this planet. I know children who have been through more than I could ever fathom experiencing. The human mind is fragile, but oh so strong in other ways, it's fascinating really. Wisdom is a result of experience, and experience is not ruled by time.

All I can say is, try not to let it bother you, because it's probably something you'll have to deal with for several more years. In the meantime, focus on the positives within yourself and the people closest to you will notice and be drawn to it. Always keep in mind the person you're trying to become, and make your life a series of conscious efforts to grow toward that goal. The people who aren't close to you, who try to pick you apart and bring you down - don't let them get inside your head. They have nothing to offer you.

I have to confess, when I was in my 30s and 40s, i looked at younger women somewhat the same way they do, but as I've grown older I've outgrown that misconception. The way it happened for me was that at age 41, I met and fell in love with a 26-year old woman, and my life has never been the same. Certainly she still had some things to work out and refine in terms of her maturity, but by and large she was one of the wisest, most influential people I've ever met. I learned more from that woman about who I am and where I fit into my life than from any other human being I've ever met, outside of my parents, and at least a dozen times a day I consciously notice some way in which my life works better for what she taught me. I'll never underestimate someone on account of their age again as long as i live. It's a lesson I wish I'd learned younger, so that i might have begun benefiting from it sooner. Good luck to you!

Yeah, i didn't remember it either. I was planning on watching it again tomorrow just to check my memory. Well, that and the fact that it's a terrific movie, of course. So I guess I'll still watch it after all.

This is something that has always annoyed me. I've been active in the online discussion scene since I was 13.Obviously I lied about my age for a long time (I'm really 19 now though!) but people always showed such hostility towards younger members. At least some people, a lot of the guys just let their creepy out.

I hate when people tell me I can't be mature because I'm a teenager. They say I can't have everything figured out, and like the OP I don't claim to. But I feel like I have a much more mature and calm perception on life and things that really matter than a lot of people much older than me.

Also, I completely cannot stand anyone who cannot take my relationship seriously because of my age. Is it mind boggling that I have a fairly sane, rather uneventful, never ever have any fights, happy, content, long term relationship at my age? To a lot of people, it is. I'm completely ready to get married at 19, and that's ok.

Is it?
Consider the ones that don't really say anything negative.

Bottom line, everyone has a great long term memory when it comes to negative feelings.

Get over it. Enjoy what you have and piss on the ones that want what you have and shit on you for it.

I don't deny there may be some people in their twenties who are more mature than some people in their 40s

Are any of those folks willing to say they expect to learn nothing in the next 5, 10, or 20 years? Of course not

Age as a proxy for experience/maturity is a generalization, and like all generalizations, it is usually true and is sometimes false

Well of course I have yet to meet a teenager who didn't say they were mature for their age LOL Of course "every teen thinks that. big surprise. There is solid evidence that the brain does NOT stop developing until you are 22 or 23 years old. Something to consider when making life decisions. You are not as smart or mature as you think you are.

What drives me nutz is the younger folks always forget that YES we, everyone was a teen once and happen to know firsthand what is was like being a teen.

So sayeth the 21 year old. Since the beginning of time, in virtually all species, the "older" guides and teaches the "younger". How to find food, make a nest, evade predators, or be a predator. How to make a lean-to, a tent, start a fire, skin a dead animal, all the way through the centuries/millennium how to invest, fix a car, build or buy a home. To deny that anyone older, one who has lived far more decades than you has extensive experience and vastly more knowledge, speaks to the arrogance of youth.

Seriously, every new generation thinks they are the first to have "cool" music, rebel, every new generation thinks they "invented" some new kinky act of sexuality. Your great great great great grandparents knew more about living life (a hard life), living off the land, being able to read the clouds, the tides, the soil and how to get freaky, do some new twist of doggie style, tie someone up and beat them, then you most likely ever will.

While no one can insist or demand that you follow previous generations ideas, ideals, thoughts and notions, a little respect coming from you young lady would be appropriate. In America and most western cultures, the average 15 to 30 year old would die within a few days if it were not for their elders, government and likeminded people/organizations to protect and guide them if things ever got rough.

I will, sadly, have to disagree with you. This is pretentious crap. It is not the 'JOB' of any older ass to 'educate' the younger people around them. Actually, I find that insulting, that I am supposed to glean knowledge from someone just because they've had longer to screw around that I have.

If I want to learn from someone, that'll be my choice to make. If not, I expect people around me to respect my choices, and *coff coff* that I actually do know what I'm doing.

Age does'nt define you.. Your profile reads like how can i put this.. WorkingGirl/Domina.. or a disgruntled employee of the mcdonald's franchise who wants to get paid for making french fries...

I would rather a young person not claim to have any experience.. then read a distortion. Its far more attractive to have a honest person.
your a very attractive gal and I hope you find that you find a better life then ProDomme'ing..

my bad advice : go to college.. become a lawyer.. relist your profile as a lonely college girl..seeking compainionship.and i'm sure you'll go far.

Overall its better to be young and immature. Anyone telling you otherwise ia probably more old than mature.

The person I was replying to seemed to think that the younger generation should be in awe of their elders, thanking them for every bit of advise belched out. He also mentioned it was the "JOB of the elders to teach the young." I agree with this... to a point. I have great respect for my family, my professors, and people who I choose to learn from. I do not, however, think it is required of me (or even wise) to take advise from Sailor Joe here, just because he happens to be a baby boomer. I respect myself too much to listen to every pompous ass that comes along... ;)

Living off the land... tides and soil.... of course they (probably) knew more about it. I do not need that information in my life right now, therefor, I did not choose to learn about it. Meh.

Again, as I said before, I respect my family, professors, and-by the way- the 1930 Roadster I am chopping. I do not feel the need to automatically respect some pompous ass who requires respect, ONLY because she is part of the older generation. You happen to be older, ok... now... what other redeeming qualifications do you have?

A fifteen year old... ok, I might give you that one, providing the kid was neglected or something... but 30? Are you kidding me?

Re-read my post, Lynnxz. You failed to comprehend what I was saying, choosing instead to comprehend what you were feeling. I never said anything about younger generations being in awe of their elders or showing gratitude. Nor have I stated any requirement of any kind. You decided, without any qualification, that I just HAD to be a pompous ass just because I was older, and made a statement that opposed your attitude. What's more, you showed very little patience, never mind basic respect, to actually READ what you were looking at, taking time to only glance and therefore making a very uninformed retort.

You probably don't want advice from me, but I'll offer it anyway, just to be a pompous ass.

Learn patience. Take time to make sure you see what you think you see. The more you practice this, your decisions will improve as well as the time you take to make those decisions. Be the good example, not the horrible lesson.

There, as a pompous ass, I educated you. I do not expect or demand awe, but I demand respect. I do not demand that you follow my advice, and you're welcome to disagree if you like. However, with my limited interaction with you, you'll probably only be interested in reading my advice and take it as a criticism and will focus on just that, rather than the message itself, no different from the post I made that you so poorly criticized.
