    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 :p
    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 784 ✭✭✭marzic


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭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).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,135 ✭✭✭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!

    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.

    Getting 4 months holidays a year, trying it on with some girl behind the school wall, playing football till it got dark.
    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

    I thought it would be the opposite?

    you really havnt thought this through :p

    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 :D

    that is fiction

    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.
