Honestly, if I had changed any of my behaviors back then, I wouldn't be the person I am now.
I like who I am as well

I could have advised my Dad not to be so patriotic and throw away our French passports and citizenship, which means I could go to France at any time I damn well pleased and even invest in France.
I could have been less rebellious with Dad and not given him such a heartache, now that he is dead.
I could also have learned some maturity, so the babes won't call me immature now LMAO. How does a man learn maturity? Is there a maturity for dummies handbook on Amazon? Where do I start?
Idk if you should change; I've been told I think like a 20 year old. Why should you try to reach someone else's definition of "maturity"? I refuse to grow up Life is too short to be taken so seriously.....

Excellent point- I've heard we learn more from our failures than our successes

Everybody tells me to grow up
Life sucks.
So there is no maturity handbook? Am I screwed forever?

If you're screwed then so am I, lol
Why should you change who you are- you're one of the cooler people in this forum. If you're having issues with women telling you to grow up, maybe it's them, not you Or you're in the wrong area...
I like the excitement of not knowing the future and letting life unfold right before me.
I supposed there are a 1 or 2 things in my past that I regret or feel remorse for but I would not change them because I learned things from them and experienced things that I would not have otherwise.

I agree with the above. I wish I would have done more wild things, had more sex (well, good sex anyway ), not been so invested in work. Here it is years later and I am no further ahead at work then those who were irresponsible and had fun.
lol I knew people would say they'd wish they'd invested, etc.
Any love/romance words of wisdom?
Anybody learn anything from previous relationships or mistakes?
If I could go back I'd tell myself to not be so ridiculously naive & trusting; I let myself get used. Not good.....but ya' live & ya' learn
Yes, you're asking about love/romance related things.
This is probably the part of life I have the most regrets about. If I could become 18 again, I'd be far less romantic and selective. I used to think that was the moral thing to do, but being a player is more appropriate when young. I'd try women on like shoes and not 'respect' them so much.

lol are you serious, or pullin' my leg??
I was just saying to a guy the other day that he should be out having much more fun than he is, at his age. He is waiting for the "right" girl, but missing a lot of opportunities at his age. He's like 24....& a die hard romantic. At this rate he won't have any romances to talk about when he reaches his 40's.
I would tell myself that I don't have to trust family just because they're family. If I'd known then that the people I loved (family) lied to me A LOT, I could've (hopefully) adjusted my thinking and naivete. I got screwed trusting these people and it took me some time to reconcile this notion. I would say to the hot, young self "Self, stop worrying so much and relax"...
I would advise myself to read three specific books because the knowledge in those books could have never been taught to me by the society I lived in.
It might be considered "common sense" in other societies but it wasn't in mine.
