I think what shows character is when someone is able to knowledge the faults of their past, own them, and then demonstrate that they are a different person rather than making up lies about them, even if they are now a different person.
I'm with you on this one. I know I did and said a lot of uncool things when I was younger because I thought that was what alpha males did. When I think back, to high school in particular, I can think of slurs I used, jokes I made that weren't funny, times I tried to be offensive and crass because it was "cool" and even some things I did or said towards women that were creepy and weird. I find this stuff humiliating to even mention in generic terms on a message board, I certainly don't pine for those as the good ol' days.
But again, perhaps that's me being a beta. If a woman I was a creep towards pointed it out today I would apologize and admit that I was a moron and a weak-minded loser when I did it.
Hell, I'll even admit when I was in high school we went to NYC on a class trip and my friends and I were at the Trump tower and spent over 20 minutes talking to one of the security guys there about how awesome Donald Trump is.
