bumblebee Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 If you had the chance to go back and meet yourself at the age of 21, what would you advise yourself to do? With hindsight there are perhaps some things we would like to change, or maybe start doing earlier. I was 21 back in 1986, so I would tell myself to buy a house at the first opportunity. Property was quite reasonable back then, and I would easily have paid off a place by now. Regarding LBs, maybe too early to discover them, but there again when is too early in that regard...

With hindsight there are perhaps some things we would like to change, or maybe start doing earlier. If I could meet myself at 21 I'd advise myself to find work that I'm trully passionate about. And to also focus on personal self development. Of course, knowing the results, I'd also tell myself which horses and football teams won so I could get bet on them. :money: This type of thinking makes genies reluctant to offer me three wishes because the first wish would be for a thousand more wishes. Asking ourselves questions like this can be quite useful as perhaps some of our responses and ideas are things that could still be implented now. Quote Link to comment
SiamSam Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I should have discovered the delights of Asian peoples and cultures earlier. I came to this much too late in life. I was six years old when I saw my first Asian girl. I was awestruck and that moment has stayed with me ever since. If I was 21 again I most definitely would plan to live my life some where in Asia. 1 Quote Link to comment

I bought my first house at the age of 24 in 1985, unfortunately it don't always work out like that! I've just spent 10yrs fighting a court case over a miss sold endowment policy!... Was you really 'turking' ladyboys when you was 21??.. Wow! If I could meet myself at 21 I'd advise myself to find work that I'm trully passionate about. And to also focus on personal self development. No!! Go out & do something profitable otherwise you'll end up like me!! I should have discovered the delights of Asian peoples and cultures earlier. I came to this much too late in life. I was six years old when I saw my first Asian girl. I was awestruck and that moment has stayed with me ever since. If I was 21 again I most definitely would plan to live my life some where in Asia. Concur 300%, when I was younger I was crazzzzzzy about Asian chicks, but you just couldn't get anywhere near them those days... I wish I'd have got here at 25, I think that would have been perfect! If I was 21 again I'd have bought 3 houses, got a job in a commercial bank or started breaking into them & I'd have 'bum busted' the nice little girl from the local Chinese take away!! :devil: But seriously folks, given the time again I'd have finished my degree & tried not to be a delinquent fuck up!.. It has been fun though. Oh, and I'd have never got into classic cars either, that's been a bottomless money pit, much the same as a Thialand relationship, the baine of my life. I'd have probably steered clear of stealing used underwear too Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sorry Lung, what I meant there was perhaps for anyone 21 is maybe too early to discover LBs lol. I personally think mid to late 30's is the best time. You have got the GG thing well covered by then, and certain guys are looking for something new in their lives. If I had discovered them at 21, who knows what I'd be like now, the mind boggles lol. Quote Link to comment

If I had discovered them at 21, who knows what I'd be like now, the mind boggles lol. I'd been sitting here shaking my head thinking WTF!! Thanks for the clarification. I totally agree with you about the mid to late 30's bit. If I remember right I was 37/38 when I had my first encounter in the 'Grand Canaries' on a diving holiday. I'd just finished with the ex & I was emotionally grounded & up for something new! If you'd have got into this scene at 21, I think that would have seriously twisted your melon man!! When I was about 21 I used to look at transsexual porn books in Soho sex shops & that was enough to send me on a spin, I'd lay in bed, nob in one hand & my head in the other, completely spun out, racked with guilt & seriously confused... God knows what it must be like to actually be a really young 'genuine' transsexual, that's just got to be so tough! Quote Link to comment
SiamSam Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If I had discovered the LB and GG scene in Asia, (Thailand in particular) when I was in my 20s I be a fucking derelict madman by now if indeed even alive. In many ways I am grateful I discovered it all late in my life. It saved me from myself. Quote Link to comment

bumblebee Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Funny you mention Gran Canaria Lung, that's where I had my first encounter on a holiday in 1993 in Playa del Ingles. Staggering home one night, boozed to oblivion, I get propositioned at a junction near my apartment. Before I know it, I am up some dirty lane with a cock in my mouth, and the tranny had the nerve to call me a pervert. :D Quote Link to comment

Before I know it, I am up some dirty lane with a cock in my mouth, and the tranny had the nerve to call me a pervert. :D 5555... I was the same, staggering about bumping into walls & doors spluttering in pure unadulterated Dolphin & then all of a sudden a cab driver picked me up & asked me if I wanted to go to the 'Cocaine Bar'... I said,"Yeaah"! Anyway, low & behold I've found myself in a perfectly seedy late night haunt for transexuals... And I thought, 'Yeaah'! After a little while scanning the other inmates I picked a victim & just as I got up to make my play for this leggy Amazon a small doggy looking blonde thing in a minni skirt virtually dived over a table to whisk me off into the moonlight. Not sure if we can talk about drugs here, but this little South American hottie was the local candyman/girl & she just kept serving up all night long, the cost of which would have well exceeded the paultry sum I'd paid for the night's company!!!.. What a top night & what a top bird!!.. My very first trip to the dark side & I got completely spannerd for free!!! Wowie, she must have liked me!! The only downside was when I opened the door first thing in the morning, only to discover that I was right on the beach with scores & scores of British tourists knowing exactly what I'd been up to!!.. It was the worst 'walk of shame' in history, stinking & sweating in the previous nights clothes with everyone including the children either grimacing or sniggering at me. Quote Link to comment
strocube Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I was 21 in 1981. I would've told myself that I did not have to give up pursuing my own interests because I was unhappy with society, and that doing so was only hurting myself. I would've stayed in college, gotten my MA in my 20s instead of my 50s. Maybe I could've gotten my economic house in order to the point where I wouldn't have to work today, who knows? We can sit here and play "what if" forever. The fact is, the past is what it is and here we are. Quote Link to comment
deepthroat Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 "One word: plastics" Anyone remember that classic film? My advice to a 21 YO Deepthroat: 1. Do what you love, the money will follow 2. Don't worry about shit - it didn't help and none of it mattered. The shit that matters you won't even see coming. Quote Link to comment

Hefe Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yeah, me too. I consciously decided to see a bit of the world & therefore dissipate my energies & focus while I was in my late teens & 20's, just in case I didn't make it to the age I am now! Or was saddled with kids, ex-wives, mortgages, court orders, etc.,.. I didn't start that until I was crowding 30. The problem with that of course is that instead of now sitting in my beachfront condo somewhere eating seafood & sipping gin, I am schlepping about in the cold rain with my work gear & arthritic knees for the next 2-5 years anyway.... every decision has a trade off. The thing I would definitely change though is to seriously focus, like a laser, on one thing for an extended period, whether it was professional/technical or physical health related or something like learning to play music or art extremely well.... but I guess that's what makes one a type-A personality & I wouldn't want to be that. Oh & to have a real understanding of $$$ & not just dismiss it as a trivial & evil (like the hippie I was). Quote Link to comment
