"Just give it time... you'll find the right person" and "You're a good guy, you'll find the right girl for you" so many times it makes me want to puke:| It's one of the most useless answers to give someone a person can do:|
Elders think they have some superior intelligence because they have been alive longer than you, and it just vexes me when you have to listen to one of their dumb stories that nobody cares about. Listen to a story I'm about to tell you. Whenever I go to a party with my relatives, they all say the same generic thing, and it irks me beyond belief. "Wow, you're getting tall." Of course I am! Do you expect me to shrink or something? Also, my grandfather always tells me how awesome his guns are. "Guns don't kill people. People kill people!" But guns help, dude...

And if there were no guns, people would kill people with knives, clubs, bare hands, rope, electrical wire, poison etc. I try to listen whenever an elder is giving me advice. Chances are, they've been through a lot more experiences than you have so they're just sharing knowledge.
I'm not trying to sound like a boy scout or anything here, but I love listening to elderly people! They're so frickin distinguished, and even the people who are the least literate can give the best life lessons.
