I think most of us guys go through an 'Alfie' stage.


I did, im 37 now and all through my 20's and even a little after 30 I was in that "stage". It has some real consequences which we got to see with Alfie. I wish I would have grown up sooner - lots of regrets.

Yep, early 30's when I could still get away with it, juggling several girls and feeling smug. It catches up with you though and ends up hurting people. Great high-five memories and tales though =)

Still, I doubt I ever said "anyone up for a little Alfie straight-up?" (even if my name wasn't Alfie)

Well see thats the thing - I think most people missed it. In the movie Alphie seemed to change and actually want a relationship. The problem is the right relationship is rare and it will take a while to find - even if your done with the "stage".

I;m 25 and I'm just starting. I think it's because it's a lot easier to get sex then it is to get dates, so you feel women aren't asking for nothing more than one night stands, with that attitude.

Ya I think a lot of guys regret stuff. Me personally I have apoligised about some of the stuff I did. But you can't change the past only the future.
