Haha I agree with that quote in a way. Sometimes my 10-year-old sister speaks more sense than a lot of so-called adults, but she's still in that naive stage where she thinks all adults must be right. We all went through that, I mean I miss being a kid and thinking that people would be insightful and responsible when they grew up. But the older you get, the more you realize that it doesn't always happen that way. It's true, though, there's so much pressure on us young people these days - even though a lot of people think we have it easier, I don't agree, because we're smarter than people would give us credit for & we've been fed so much garbage by society.

Basically, older men are just as likely to be scammers as younger guys. Victims can be young girls or middle-aged. It's all about the individual, some people learn faster than others & vice versa... I mean you can get some crazy stupid middle-aged people lol. And it depends on how you learn what you learn if that makes sense. I'd rather judge people by their character than by their age. Stupidity and wisdom pay no mind to age, looks or wealth.
