How would you interpret the following?
Girl: "I am kinda worried about your buddies. They can get you into trouble. I know you can take care of yourself.."
Guy: "Yeah.."
Girl: "But, ya know, you have more to worry about than yourself now..(he has a child).."
Guy: "I know that."
Girl: "And I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I'm just voicing my concerns."
Guy: "Oh, I know...I mean, I am going to do whatever the hell I wanna do. But that doesn't mean I won't take what you are saying into consideration though.."
Does that mean that he values what the girl is saying? or is it just going in one ear and out the other?

It means he values her opinion but wants her to know that if he does as she suggested that it was his decision, not him doing as she says.

Take what he said for face value. What he is saying is I am going to do what I want when I want with my friends. I am enjoying my life and I don't want you telling me what to do, get off my back. I know when I am going to far, you are not my mother. he values it but he may think at this point you aren't letting up, the best thing you can do is back off and see. Sometimes people need to walk their own path and make some mistakes just be there to pick him up and kiss his boo-boos when he falls down. Let the baby have his bottle, he is being a typical guy. Much love.

That the guy is going to do whatever he wants to do, yet still consider the girls concerns. No cause for alarm here. You can't control another person or fret about the decisons that they make. Your reponsibility ends with you voicing your concern. Now just do your thing and keep on going...

It could mean that she is right, and he knows it, but he has some weakness in his character or else immaturity that makes it impossible for him to change.
It could mean that she is right, but he doesn't respect her views and doesn't believe she is right.
It could mean she is the one who could be at least a little wrong, and maybe he knows he can do what he's doing without creating big problems for himself.
It could mean she is completely wrong, he knows it, and doesn't respect what she's saying.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Just a note: If she is correct, and he is hanging out with people who can get him in trouble; and if he's not smart enough or caring enough of his child not to hang out with these people; that would mean he is just yet one more person who should not have become a parent and the girl is not likely to be able to change him.

I believe that he is taking what that person says into consideration. He is just letting her know that he makes his own decisions but appreciates her advice.
