your favourite age to be?

[cacian]

I would say between twenty and thirty because energy and innocence is still at its best almost peeking.:D

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

17 days old.

[KCurtis]

younger

[Heidy]

I am eighteen and maybe this is not the right discussion for me because i am not able to decide yet but i think the sweetiest years are ,when you are at school, from fourteen to eighteen.
Because you live like in a glass ball, because you have fun, you have true friends, you are dated and think to be in love even if you don't know yet what is love.

Sweet years, do u think the same, don't you?


Awaiting your answers
Greetings from Italy :)

Yes Heidy that's exactly how it is.

That is not an age it is a baby.

[Alexander III]

To be honest I quite like 19, it is a fantastic age. I am at university and live by my self with financial independence (the money coms from home but it is mine), I have nothing to most days except to rise when the workers finish their day and return home, and be idle and drink and smoke and **** and occasionally read something here and there; when there is nothing to be ****ed smoked or drunk of-course. I travel around europe quite freely, as at University I have plenty of time off. 19 is quite pleasant and I regret having to abandon it this autumn.

[cacian]

younger

Not young?! haha:p

[louisgeorge]

My age :) 24

[Helga]

right now I think. Looking back on the past 26 years of my life right now is the best, as complicated as it is it's better than before.

But I have high hopes for the future so ask again in about 5 years.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

That is not an age it is a baby.

Baby's don't have an age? How is the length of time they've existed quantified, then?

[cacian]

17 days is just that days.
An age is ONE year old an above.
I am talking linguistically here.
The word AGE is only used after one has reached 1 hence one year old above.
Anything before that is refered to in days and months.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

No it isn't. Age can be measured any way a person likes. I'd like to see the reaction on the next mother's face that says her baby is five months, five weeks, or five days old and you say, "Oh, I'm sorry, but your child doesn't exist within the measurement of time suitable for me to accept his age. Therefore, he/she is ageless."

My favorite age was when I was 17 days old. That's the approximate day I got out of an incubator and my parents were allowed to take me home.

You're just old enough to understand things a little bit, but you don't have to do anything but run around and play with toys until you pass out on the floor and your mom carries you into bed.

Once you get too old for it to be socially acceptable to play with toys, it's all downhill.

Haha that is very sweet the playing with the toys bit I am not sure about passing out though lol
I have never thought about toys and adulthood but it is true it is considered not mature to do so.
Adult world seemed to be too busy with jobs and work to find time to play with an old train set or a car track.
Such is adulthood not very nice just plain routine bordering on plain boredom and repetitiveness of the same all.

[Heidy]

7 days old, 10 years old, 17, 25....
At the end i understood that even if someone prefer being a child, someone else an adolescent, someone else a bit older....no one wants to become old U.U

Dear friends...sometimes i see my sister that is growing up so quickly more and more day by day..and i am so afraid of time. It never waits...goes on..
Do u agree with me?

Yeah but at that age your parents are trying to discipline you and you have to be in bed at eight.

Also your never to old to play!!! I have star wars toys and I play with my son all the time, not with my SW toys but his toys.

No one should forget how to play, it's fun oh and jumping in puddles is so much fun

Yeah, but you don't know there is a life out of there. So you are happy of what u have.
ahaha i d like so much to see u playing with toys :p
When u grow old...toys are not so funny anymore..maybe because adults loose imagination, like Exupery in "the small prince" says.

[prendrelemick]

I've been playing alot since Grandadhood struck. Yesterday I was the Big Bad Wolf, and had to chase them round the room until they jumped onto the sofa, which was "Den" and therefore inviolable. I was knackered.

Although I know these are my most precious years, I would still like to be 25 again.

Hi prendrelemick (or takethemick haha) what do you mean by Grandadhood struck and Den?

[prendrelemick]

The concept of "Den" in children's games has been passed down for generations round here. It is a safe haven where you can't be caught by the Wolf or the person who is "It." You shout "Den" as you leap into it, and the chaser can't get you.

Becoming a Grandad, Your life is completely altered and shaken up.

[Delta40]

I think 40's are the best years. The hard yards are done. One has put their naivety behind them too and has the benefit of hindsight and hopefully a little wisdom for their trouble.

This is beyond doubt the most sensible post on this thread.

[Buh4Bee]

I haven't experienced the 40s yet, but I have to admit I am looking forward to them. I like the thirties, since you experience so much domestic bliss- or more than you do without a kid. I think that the forties are a time when life can be very stable and you are done with all the BS and struggle of being young and trying to figure it out.

[Emil Miller]

Yep that's it in a nutshell and if you haven't got it figured out by the age of forty, it's unlikely that you ever will and therefore remain a case of retarded development.

Of course it's also an age where you can go a little crazy....:devil:

[JuniperWoolf]

I've only got two decades, that's not much to go on. Ask me again when I'm 80. I guess the people I'm most attracted to have always been in their mid to late thirties, maybe I'll like that age.

[Buckthorn]

I haven't reached my favourite age yet. I'm 29 now so I'm thinking it might be somewhere in the mid thirties

[cacian]

Ay I think naivety is the word I was looking for I like to think I can hold on to that for a bit longer. Nothing wrong with being naive it is part of the innoncence within us all and it can be a nice thing if one is quikc witted clever as well as naive.:p

Thank you for explaining prendrelemick.
Is that what your avatar portrays a bit of both?

True, but the late forties are also when your facial (and a few other) muscles start to sag, grey hairs appear and you start putting on weight - physically everything starts going to Hades in a handbasket. :p I'd rather be much younger, wisdom be damned. :D

I am sure one can still be slender in their forties and fifties and have toned skin. It all depends on what you do and how you lookf after your body.
Air cycling and fresh food is all the rage if you can and everything shoud run smoothly.
I was very active ever since I was little and still am I ate very well and did not drink nor smoke till I was in my thirties and throught out the years it does pay off.

[mona amon]

Cacian, actually I do quite a bit of exercise and I'm quite slim, but sooner or later time and and the force of gravity do get you - at different times for different folks, but there's no escaping it forever. :)

That's HILARIOUS.

Anywhoo, my favourite age to be is 19. Just turned legal, you're still living those fun rebellious teenage years, yet still live on your own and enjoy the wonderful responsibilities of making dinner that result in just a spoon and a jar of nutella. It's the time where you have to unlearn and relearn, and then start the rest of your life. You're young enough to know everything.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

I'm still curious how cacian measures age for those less than one year old.

[cacian]

I'm still curious how cacian measures age for those less than one year old.

I do measure age is just that one is in days and months and the other is with the word age.

Example:

Ten months old.

One year of of age.

I think one does not come of age until one has reached one.

It is a bit like Centimeters and meters
You cannot call centimeters centimeters after they have reached a 100.
You call them meter hence 100 centimeters= 1 meter

Haha I do not know but I might be well wrong.

Oh it is funny how the I is always in capital no matter where you put it but any other letter isn't.
Just an observation.

[Pensive]

Sixteen.
You are old enough to understand and young enough to still change.

[cacian]

Haha easily said then done I was in a different world of my own when I was sixteen. I barely noticed I existed.:p

[richardshelton]

I loved being 21...
I wouldnt go back to that age tho....not with things the way they are in the world today....I am very happily 47.
Age is just a number..it's how old (or young) you feel that counts....and I feel 21 everyday

[Clopin]

So you are dependent and not independent? I would have thought by now that a nineteen year old university student would be able to make proper use of such a simple word.

When I turned 18, I like all members of my family received a portion of my inheritance which officially and legally become mine. I withdraw from it a certain portion every month for my expenditures while at university, but I may withdraw up to 1/10 of the entire inheritance per year if I would so choose. So yes I am financially independent, Weather the money comes from a trust-fund, winning the lottery, a best selling novel, or a job is irrelevant. I am in legal possession of my own money and am financially beholden to none; and that makes me financially independent. So you can go suck a dick.

God forbid ones family actually provides for their children and ensures that they have all the advantages which can be given in life; that is pure communism. A real man doesn't even suck on his mama's titties, he goes out and he hunts for his food like a real 6 month old, not one of those parasitic children which just take and take and never give back because they are to lazy to learn to walk and get a job. Beware the communism!

It's amusing because you are saying a real man doesn't suck on his mama's titties, yet you're the one who claims they're financially independent despite living off money you haven't earned. I agree with MM.

Oh and I think the best age for me (so far) is what I am now. Although life may be slightly harder, I am who I am, and I am a better person than I was 1, 2, 3 or 4 years ago.

Don't be so agitated. I never said that it was wrong of you to have money, I was responding to your statement that you were financially independent while being dependent on your family for money.

Your arguments after the bolded text are inane and immature. You should stop trying to make actual arguments and instead continue posting about how cool marijuana is.

i think 20 to 27.
