    just reading another thread on AH and it got me thinking. Its my birthday today i'm 42, now i'm not fishing for birthday wishes but i have to say i dont feel like i'm 42. I probably look around that but feel like i'm late 20s or early 30s. I even think i'd be able to sit in a pub with my sons mates and have a couple of pints with them. How about you ?

    I feel about 7. I don't think I've matured in the last 30 years. Sure, I like booze, but I probably would have then. The only difference is my body tends not to agree with me what with the bad knees and pubic hair.

    The later part of mid 20's, the earlier part of late 20's.

    I find that no matter how young I feel, I can not fool a flight of stairs or pass up the chance of a pee on a long journey like I used to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    29 and I feel like I'm 40. Must give up the auld smokes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers

    It depends on how light headed you feel when you stand up suddenly.

    I'm nearly 68, but I don't feel a day over 90.:eek::eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭orchidsrpretty


    II'm 28, feel like i probably have the maturity of late teens. I look like a young teenager so i think how old you look reflects on your personailty


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    33, mentally I feel 23 but when I go for a cycle or a jog I feel 63 :o

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    Im 37, feel about late 20's or 30 i suppose. Funnily enough when i was turning 30 i felt ancient, not quite sure why, but i definitely remember feeling very very old back then!

    thanks for giving me hope that when I get older, I'll feel younger :D

    32 and I feel it. Having children will do that too you.

    It's one of the benefits of senility i think:)

    Yeah 32 - on a par with being 80. :pac:

    What are you supposed to feel that makes you know you're 32? Arthritis? Dementia?

    I feel a 15 year old Sam Beckett that has leaped into a 97 years olds body right now and all I had last was four Captain Morgans and some chips. This is not right to feel like this .. nurse! And I was planning on seeing the RHCPs tonight. I hope they keep the music down if I do.

    How do you know what that age feels like?

    Thread = logic fail.

    I'm guessing obviously. Dudess = Imagination fail

    You're only as old as the person your feeling!

    Which makes me 8 years older than I should be....

    Well it's not really :) but yeah, obsessing over the date you/others were born and the amount of time that has elapsed since, definitely seems constructed.

    I'm glad you didn't end that fifteen letters early.

    19 but feel more like 25, honestly associate a lot better with older people, a lot of people my age just do crazy stupid things.

    I'm twenty-seven, sometimes I feel (and act) like I'm still nineteen. Other times (like today) I can't wait to get home, put my jammies on and nurse a bottle of wine while watching absolute ****e on TV. I'll probably be asleep on the sofa by 9pm. Those are the days when I feel like an absolute aul one.

    its just a lighthearted opinion dudess i dont want to make a science project out of it. I could probably be in much better shape for my age so physically i'd be older but i reckon i'd get along just fine with people 15 years younger than me. Maybe i'm just immature


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 486 ✭✭jackie1974


    Mentally my attitude is still the same as when I was younger, I could get the urge to do a few cartwheels like I did when I was 15 but I realise my hips would shatter so im a teenager trapped in an older body.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Sometimes I feel like a 60 year old, other times I feel like a 12 year old. But mothers still use me as "the man" when trying to quieten their children at the supermarket. "Stop that or you'll upset that man there" they say, I give the kid the crazy eyes and nod my head making a throat cutting gesture. Anything to help.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    Its only a number. I dont feel like a number.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach

    Sometimes I feel like my mid section is looking a bit like the number 8.

    I am number 4!!! Sum film!!! Nah just kidding!! I feel about 30... I'm 24 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    I've felt about the same since I was about ten.

    This was problematic for me in my teens and early twenties as I felt I should be feeling more like an adult.

    Yet now as I approach thirty I feel it's a big advantage that I don't feel my age.

    However, whenever I encounter teenagers I feel about seventy.

    I'm 41 and feel 31..most days..21 most nights :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I'm 26, but I feel like a 15 year old trapped in a world where I have to act 40.
    It really does feel like acting most of the time.
    I had kids very young, so I feel I'm missing the middle years between teenage years and grown up years.
