    likewise, with an abundance of obliging females

    ... from Arklow. No thanks! I'd rather be mid twenties, abroad, de-filing foreign petals.

    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

    Hmmmm, good point! Age difference is not significant the older you get...

    Bring on the wimminz

    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

    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. :D

    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.

    I thought it would be the opposite?

    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)

    :cool:

    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

    tough one, torn between now - 37, happy with hubby & 3 small kids, and 18/19 - studying engineering with 100+ blokes in the class :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 YUSS


    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭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...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    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.

    23.....that was the best age for me....old enough to do exactly as you want, young enough to get away with it...just out of college and working but with no real bills (mortgage etc )...all my money went on socialising and holidays..........loved it !!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭johnn


    What ever age your daughter is :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭EoghanRua


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

    I'd say, anywhere between 25 & 35.


    This would be along the lines of what I'd be thinking. My instinct was to say 30. Generally people have been long since been through the ar*se-hole stage of their lives and are old enough to be reasonably discerning and mature.

    I'd love to be 19/20 again knowing what I know now as you'd really appreciate being spoon-fed and having minimum responsibility but unfortunately the problem with being 19/20 is that you have the mentality of a 19/20 year old!

    didnt make the greatest adjustment to independance did we :P

    19 is definetly the best age

    I'm 17 now and already feel really old. I want to be 15 again, in TY. Life was so easy!
    I think everything goes downhill once college is over, only have a few more years left. Hate to be over 22 :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,366 ✭✭✭Star Bingo


    looking forward to the golden years, how many of you are still in the bronze age? 30s are good thus far, really found my feet now where's my shoes. but a life not.. lived long is a life not yet lived


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    What age would you be if you could be that age for ever. I think i'd be around 17.
    This is as good as it gets? Jesus...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    I'd be 1.

    Nobody cares if you p*ss yourself, sh*t yourself or lie on the floor bawling while clutching a bottle.

    It depends on how much cash you have. Dont say it doesn´t, because not having cash limits the possibilities of how much you can DO with your life aside from "love" and so on.
    I´m talking about going to europe for a few weeks and blowing cash on a great hotel, coke, hard partying, dining in the best 3* restaurants, etc etc. Drinking at your friends house at 17 doesn´t even come close.

    Really, early twenties with a good few grand in the bank is the best time.
    Mid thirties is probably fine too, you would have more cash and know how to enjoy it better but you might have a family killing the buzz :)

    Id agree with the guy above, 25-35 is the best.
