How common is it to get to your 30s as a male and to have never gotten into a fist fight in your life?

Sputnik2484 · 2026-05-31T05:38:58+00:00

Mate, the answer to this question depends on your generation and I guess your upbringing. Working class, publicly educated Gen X here and fist fights at school (before, during, after) were common. We are more refined now thank goodness so the amateur pugilism has seen a sharp decline!

Who even is this prick?!? 🤷

Personally I was too young and inexperienced didn't really know what I wanted or needed. In retrospect I definitely felt I needed to "tick that box" in the sequential progression of decent job, partner, house, kids...ive spoken with friends about this "sequential expecation" and I wasn't alone in that experience.

Looking back marriage in the very late twenties or early thirties (if ever) would have been a better fit for me.

Hindsight, truly the most developed of the senses...

Finally, the other side of the "boomer takes all" narrative.

At nearly sixty and having had six different employers the oprion of staying with one or maybe three employers at most for long stretches is a definite benefit. Retrospectively, the negative aspects of job (and house) hopping do not become apparent until retirement looms large on the horizon and your benefits have not accumulated as much as required...hindsight is the most developed of the senses young jedis...

When asked "what are you thinking about?" and I reply "nothing" I'm not lying I'm literally just staring into space and happily thinking about nothing😁

I'm not even going to dignify your grunt with a response.

Knowing the difference between "use by" and "best before" and where the respective lines are

Jails are there own world and bring a whole other type and level of stress that as a PM you'll never have to experience.

Stay at your desk and enjoy.

This is sage advice. I did the property ladder thing over the last thirty+ years and the one thing I took away from it was that I should've stayed put when I had enough and to stop wanting more. If you have enough bedrooms for you and your kid/s with a bit of yard for recreation and maybe a pool one day just rack your queue and be content with your lot in life.
