:: The importance of considering the source ::

I just spent 10 minutes at work listening to a 49-year-old single guy give wedding and marriage advice to a woman who is newly engaged – advice ranging from how much to spend/blow on a ring, to what's really important to spend money on at said wedding, and a myriad of other marriage-related topics.

The advice was, far as I could tell, fairly smart, and he was obviously just trying to help. But still, no matter what he said – and how much sense it may have made – all I could think was "You are almost 50 and single. Who the hell are you to be giving marriage advice?"

I mean, c'mon, what's next? Nick's Easy 10-step Guide to Winning a Marathon?

I think not.
