<human>: My work-buddy is a pretty casual friend, work in the same office and we chat if we see each other out, and we'll chat on a work night out at the pub, at pretty neutral topics like movies and TV shows, and sometimes we text random stuff, never go into much depth but just jokey and fun, and I'm pretty sure there's no flirtation going on.

But, we were texting, and I was saying that I was unhappy and stopped seeing a guy, and he was giving general advice, and then he said that he wished he was twenty years younger. Do blokes just say that when they reach a certain age, like a form of nostalgia and looking back on the past? I've had a couple of older blokes say that when we've been chatting and getting along?

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: bloke said he wished he was twenty years younger when I was ranting about a man. Not sure if that was a hint.
