A small insight into Mid east culture

bit of background. This takes place in Lebanon- Middle Eastern country bordering Israel
today I had the pleasure of having a chat with the owner of a motorcycle
here's how the conversation went (in arabic)
him "Youve lost weight! must be doing sports eh?"
"you how you know, gym and a bit of diet'
"I hope not the kind of exercise its with your hands you know"
(me playing along) "oh yea definit no"
"I'm serious though, that stuff causes heart attacks and kills you, don't ever do it"
-I leave it at that and move on. later in the conversation the topic comes to girls.
me "so motorcycles really helps with the girls you know"
"listen man, you don't have to worry about girls now, you can forget about all things related to girlfriends or wives or whatever.when you're older"
i nodded along and "yea o guess so"
Later on reflectingI realize thats a path of not only celibacy but repression. explains alot about ME culture

So, let me get this straight. Just so I'm not missing anything here.
Olav, you had a conversation with a random guy on a motorcycle. You asked him if it helped him with game. He basically said "Don't worry about it now, wait until you're older" in response.
End of conversation.
Am I missing something here?
I'm not mocking you, I'm just asking what you are trying to say here. Flesh this one out for us.
Please elaborate...because otherwise there's a good chance that this thread will go the way of the Little Dark story thread.

He's right you know. You should sell the motorcycle and use the proceeds to buy yourself a 9 year old slave a la ISIS. Don't worry, it's allowed in the Qur'an.

I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt to a new poster whose first language clearly isn't English.
Can you explain more about what you're getting at?

You know your lynch mob behaviors are the reasons why we lose guys like Olav and little dark. Let them speak!
And those stupid ass gifs! Go into the future and think about how stupid people feel about wearing those 80s specific clothes or getting a judas priest tat.

Quintus, I find your cat meme offending. Why does this thread deserve a cat from you? Who are you and why are you posting cats?
