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.

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. :)

Therefore, he/she is ageless."

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
