Daily Bigot tells us all women over 30 should be more like Jan Moir

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/article-192411/30-things-youre-30.html

"no texting " ..why because its only for women under the age of 30 and men of any age ?

"Listening to a too-loud personal stereo in public"...what woman over or under 30 does this anyway? :rolleyes:

"Wearing skirts above the knee"....hmmm this is debatable..depends how far up the leg were talking here and what shape the legs in question are in...can't imagine a lot of men would be too happy if Jennifer Aniston, Cameran Diaz and the likes stopped wearing short dresses

Why do you read it??

Just out of curiosity I suppose

The authors:




I think they meant to say "40", instead of "30". Both of them are long time outside of 30.

I do 13 out of 30 on a regular basis and I'm 31. In your face Daily Fail!

What about you? If you're over 30, how many do you still do?

I'd almost start doing the rest just to give the two fingers to their rules...

MissFlitworth

Shoot, only a year and a bit left before I have to stop crying at work How am I going to get my way if I can't burst into tears every time I'm too lazy to make a point with words?

I counted a fair few too! ...with falling down drunk sometimes being one of them eeeeks better lay of the evil juice

Think I'll start cruising around with the car windows open and music roaring with my hair in pigtails

30 things to do before you're 30
7. Flatmates.

I don't want to do my flatmates thank you

11. Dying your own hair
Or die in some hair-related accident.

I know I shouldn't really comment because it's the daily mail, but jesus :rolleyes:

If I have to do 7 of the buggers before I turn 30 I'm going to have to move into one of those student group homes & seduce my way from door to door really shortly. Why doesn't Daft have an 'easy housemates' tick box

Yeah, I actually thought that too - bit of light-hearted "humour", surely?

If it's not....saggy knees? Speak for yourself, lady! :mad::p

It's the Daily Mail, so it's almost impossible to figure out when they are trying to be funny and when they really mean it.

...have the confidence to say no. After all, that's what being grown up is all about.

Well I say "No!" to your list of rules! In your face Daily Mail! Yus! :cool:

But this article tells us yes, you CAN show off your pins at any ages! And as you can see...



You can do it right up to your sixties! \o/

Flaming Norah :eek: When on earth do women truly get to feel young??

Seriously, from the age of 21 we're called codgers by someone or other, I Know usually its friendly banter, but from 21 onwards we have this inner anxiety of becoming ancient and saggy, which is re-inforced birthday after birthday as it is. Poxy articles like this are nothing short of a nuisance. We can wear what we like, at our own discretion at whether we feel we can still rock it. "Age is a case of mind over matter - if you dont mind, it doesn't matter"

KnocKnocKnock

Some of them are so ridiculous that they must have just been looking to wind people up enough to join their discussion board and get more people reading the paper :P

Dudess

Unfortunately plenty of women buy into it and help perpetuate it.

elbee

Wow, that's patronising! And I see no reason why women shouldn't dye their own hair or wear miniskirts after the age of 30 - why says only women in their teens and 20s can be attractive?

And the too-loud personal stereo thing shouldn't be done under 30 - it's rude and it means you have to be super-careful not to listen to anything embarrassing

Maple

Ok, I've failed at numbers 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,13,14,16,17,18,19,23,26,27,29 in that I'm past 30 and still do them, on pretty much a regular basis too.

This has to be a piss take right? What a load of rubbish, I mean seriously, what a load of tosh.

Ginny

So yeah still do 22 out of 30 things.......oh well!!!!!!!

152 people like that article on facebook, thats 152 morons

Jeez, Esquire are a bit obsessed about what men should get up to after the age of 30! They appear to bring out a list of grey joylessness every year. No fishtanks, sleeping on friends couches, movies with elves in, wallets that close with velcro or eating the middle out of biscuits first for boys when they hit the big three-oh.

pfff, just kill me now if life gets that dull once you hit 30

tan11ie

Tripe - life only begins at 30:D

Neyite

I scored 21 outta 30. I am also 36. What do I win?

Cringe...I don't know why I always take the bait and click on Dail Wail links, I always end up hating the world that little bit more after!

A voucher for a life times supply of calf length skirts and a nice wash & set in your local Nana-Salon

hatetherain!

I scored 14/30.... And I'm 35.
If I really tried harder (....hears old school teachers voice!) I could probably make it to 21/30!!!!
Must try harder...

And another thing...Busted?! Jaysus, they really have their finger on the pulse of the pop of today...:P

I wonder what their stance is on grunge? :pac:

EverEvolving

Almost reads like a Dickens novel with all the rules and regulations but obviously not as articulate.

Must print them out for my friend who's turning 30 next month, might even frame them for a laugh!!

southsiderosie

I hate nightclubs, don't drink that much anymore, and am getting too old for all nighters, but nobody AND I MEAN NOBODY is taking my black Chuck Taylors away from me! :mad:

LegacyUser

What a ridiculous article. My sister is over 30 and I am in my early 20's. I can guarantee you she has a much better figure, much nicer style and clothes, and a much more varied social life than me. She breaks a few of these stupid "rules" and is all the better for doing so!
If she abided by them I would have a very dull sister, who is not the sister I look up to and know and love.

Danniboo

The best bit is where they say these should be left well behind in your youth .... yes because after 30 we're all applying to nursing homes :rolleyes:

And Pigtails for anyone who wants to escape from a bad date

barbiegirl

I'm 36 and so 16 out of 30. Crap article.

Oh wait, it's just for men, so that's okay :rolleyes:

What the hell has Esquire got against Edvard Munch. He's one of my favourite artists.:(

Rubberlegs

I'm 38 and still do at least 10 things on that list. No hope for me, I suppose:rolleyes:

convert

Pointless and annoying article. No more than one would expect from such a sh*te paper, whose journalists believe that once we hit 30 all fun should stop! As for the hair comments.... I think they need to take a look in the mirror before they preach to others :pac:

Oooo, that article made me bitchy... Note to self: DO NOT CLICK on this type of article again! Ever.

I got 17 out of 30...what a load of bullsh*t

I'm actually embarrassed that I only scored 3 on their list-

Fishtank
Novelty pet (the inhabitants of said fishtank- whose leader is a 2 foot long butterfly koi who will happily play fetch with me (coloured pebbles- in order!)
Ironic beer drinker (what the hell is 'ironic beer' anyway???)

Give me a gun and let me shoot myself- I'm over the hills already.......

Jenneke87

So you can still sunbathe topless when you're 29 but suddenly at 30, you can't? What shyte, I see women in their 40 doing that....

But yeah really, stick to that list because at 30 you really are a senior citizen:mad:
