Best age

TeddyTedson

What age would you be if you could be that age for ever. I think i'd be around 17. You'd still be in school so life is quite easy but you have something to get out of bed for. Also you can go for the odd night out when you're not getting p1ssed in the field
12-16 was quite good too though, always something happening.
TBH i don't really remember anything before 6th class in school so i'm not sure what it was like.
18-21 is good craic too though....hmm...life is feckin' great:D too bad we only have 2years left:mad:

Well, looking at this as a 42 year old bloke.....

I'd say, anywhere between 25 & 35.

I stayed 21 for 3 years, i couldn't let it go

26, not forever but for a few years, then 28 for about 4 years, then 32 for 2 years then back to regular ageing.

TeddyTedson

I remember seeing on FHM or something that the most desirable age for a man is 39. Seems like an odd one.

Being 21 was pretty good too, hangovers for some reason started to get meaner after 25.

Meaner again after 30

I guess I'm the only person who would like to be really young! Around 10 would be a fun age, life is much more simple

Ha. I was going to say 38

38 is old enough that you get adult respect, especially from the young. Life becomes a little easier, people treat you nicer etc.

Although i've enjoyed my 40's but health starts to be a factor. I had to work on lowering my cholesterol in my 40's while i didnt care in my 30's.

The pool of available women increases with the years as well which is a bonus.

27 was my favourite age ever. (Im 34).

TheVoodoo

I really did enjoy 17-19. 20's isn't as much fun now though.. Granted i'm still in college, so i'd say one i sort out employment and the like it could pick up!

InTheTrees

20's are the absolute worst, you've just plunged out into the world and know nothing at all except what you've learned as a teenager, which is nothing at all. And nobody has any sympathy for you anymore because you're an adult.

Everyone takes advantage of you, you get paid nothing.

People in their 20's are like the worlds cannon fodder. No wonder hitting your 30's feels like relief.

Thanks.
I'll be sure to remember that next year.

10. Days seem so much longer and you have nothing but optimism for things ahead. You know nothing of bills and debt.

Video games for eight hours straight without worrying if there is something more important you should be doing.

If i could stay a 31 year old teacher forever, i would.

Such blissful ignorance and happiness at that age. You get excited over the smallest things

you really havnt thought this through

a 19 yr old, realistically, can expect to score other 19 yr olds, 17 / 18 yr olds, maybe a few naeive 20/21yr olds. obviously there are the few that the others look up to who pull a cracking 24/25 yr old but they are few and far between

a 25 yr old can act the immature bollox and score any age from 18 - 25 if they want to and can put on the old im a grown up act for the 26-35 yr olds

coincidently i turned 25 last week and the older i get the more fun i have in all parts of life if your really 20-40 and your looking back at your school days (school ffs) as the best days of your life you really, really havnt lived

There are more women within the same age group, but the quality in the looks department declines sharply. This goes for men and women, though if a man stays slim and keeps his hair its way easier to age gracefully. Course asians age well so there is a solution in there somewhere

edit sorry your right, in ireland this is the case people get fat fast after they leave school and then there is another round of fattening after college but in the rest of the world its not the case and you see beautifull women of all ages(within reason) all over the place

I can't decide on the best age until I've been all of them. I wouldn't necessarily wanna repeat any of the ages I've been already either.

What have turkeys got to do with women apart from the fact that if you're not a lesbian you probably eventually end up with one.

If we had decent looking men to stay slim for it would be good. Unfortunately the Eastern Europeans didn't turn up in Ireland until I was too long in the tooth for them. Most of them I would have stayed 20st for instead of letting myself go like I have.

tbh, I tried my best to avoid my usual comments about how it is in Ireland compared to other countries.

I mentioned men too because men here seem to forget that they need to workout too and not jut try to hide everything with baggy clothes.

30 forever would be class
best balance between youthfull issues and advantages i got soo much done aged 30
a few years later you have less energy
a few years earliers you are still too distracted

Imagine when you're 20... Its possible you could be hanging out with 25+ year old women but not too likely so you're stuck with about three or four years worth to choose from...

But skip forward to your 40's..

You have a pool of about 25 years worth of the fairer sex, admittadly you'll be accused of being a dirty old man if you're going out with an 18 year old but its possible at least.

(i have this all thought out...since I hit 40)

18-27, they say our schooldays are the best years of your life, or so us young are constantly told. But it's a lie - one constantly peddled by parents to their children. It is a lie born of envy. How we would all love to be young again with a world of opportunity stretching out ahead of us and, seemingly, without a care or responsibility in the world.For most of the adults that is the image of teenage life we like to harbour and we want to live it again. God, how we would do things differently.But for the young life is not that carefree existence. Where adults see opportunity, we see obstacles. We didn't learn from the mistakes, or experience, of our parents, and neither will our own children. For a teenage boy, life can be difficult. We know we are not as smart or mature as our female companions who regard us as acne-ridden little kids, the only way to impress them is to either act bad or have money, even if they deny it, its true. Those who even consider what career they might enter worry about examination performance. While supposedly they may be at the peak of their lives, the opportunities to live a life of hedonism are usually fairly few and furtive. And then there is the peer pressure. It takes a confident teenager to stand apart from peers who are experimenting with drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. Being part of the crowd is everything. Being apart from the crowd can be intimidating. Who can you turn to for support? Beginning work is an exciting time. We all dream that we will change the world, even if we lack the drive and ambition required to even change jobs.

0-10 it is full of joy and happiness
10-20 1st love, first date, first car ...
20-30 university, find new job, meet your princess/prince, travel...
30-40 get married, have kids, work day and night to make your family($$) rich and you are happy by that
40-50 teach your children how to be man and woman, get them a new car, ask them about their dates lol
50-60 you get your children to marry, feel proud of them(doctors, managers...)
60-70 raise your grandchildren...and be the leader of a family
70 and up waiting the moment that you will see god face to face

all of them are unic and beautiful

I'm happy with my life now everything is the I want it to be so 19 for me.

I don't consider age really but I just like were I am now.... Maybe if I could go back to being 14 with the life I have now I would... Btw I am 20

Namlub

I'm 17 now and it's a crap age tbh. You're too old to do the whole disco thing but too young to bother with clubs and pubs because going needs way too much planning and something always goes wrong. You can drive but you don't have enough money to do anything about it, and I'm not exactly going to look back on school and the whole leaving cert thing as the best time of my life...

Clubs are sh!t anyway, big anticlimax when you get to go.

True. But at least you're getting some sympathy right now. People still give you money from time to time just for being you. You're a cute kid.

In two years time they'll be yelling at you to pay bills and get a job and earn more and pay this and pay that...

But dont worry in 13 years time you can start yelling at the 20 year olds.
