Of the iceberg, so to speak
The question here, if I understand it, is how how does a young man find his way?
I say ignore women. And I'll stand by that.
A man needs to be about something, if he's not, he's nothing.
Once he is something he can enjoy the delights of women.
That is an old-fashioned viewpoint, I would say, from an old-fashioned man—at least so I judge from your homepage and your posts.
I am not prepared to argue with you.
It is not how I have lived my life, certainly not my youth.
But I am not so proud of some of those days either.
