Find your REAL Age

[Gaucho]

In the spirit of all the quizzes on the BB right now, I thought I'd add my two cents worth.

http://www.msnbc.com/modules/quizzes/lifex.asp

This appeared on MSNBC the other day. Some of it's pretty obvious and some of it isn't. I especially liked the way it "tracks" your age after each page that you complete.

Of course, I wasn't too happy that I'm really 49.9 instead of 47.5, but either way, 50 is right around the corner so WTF?

So give it up, guys. What's your REAL age?

 

[Merelan]

Okay, I did a quiz, and some of the questions were very interesting.
I am 36.1 years old, but according to this I have a "real" age of 33.1. Weeeeeee.......... Not bad, not bad.
Thanks Gaucho for making me feel better.

 

[Gaucho]

You're welcome, of course. But how do you think I feel?

I mean, I'm older and you're younger. So just what are you doing to keep those years off, hmmmmmm?

 

[Merelan]

Clean living and plenty of bed time.

Translates into lots of "showers" and blushing... you know.

 

[Dillinger]

I'm 43 - it told me my "real age" is 41.9... so I'm basically living up to my biological clock...

Now if I could only ACT my age.

 

[Ambrosious]

I'm 34 this month, but my REAL age is 43.5. Well, that explains the midlife crisis.

 

[Silverlily]

I'm 31.6, but my real age is 35.9.

Why? I drive way too fast (according to them), I don't eat fish (yuck), and I don't get enough sleep (who does?). I guess that means I'm living life 14% faster than average.

 

[TN_Vixen]

34.4 but I'm *really* 40.6

damn.

gotta quit smoking and reduce my stress level.

 

[Gaucho]

Okay, so we've got three up and two down - we're almost at the end of an inning.

Merelan - I understand the showers, hon, but why the blushing?

Dill - What's the fun in acting your age? Hell, if that's what the quiz was about, then my age would vary from 2 to 92 at a moment's notice.

So, who's next? Come on, folks. You're not afraid to admit your real age, are you?

 

[Gaucho]

Re: 34.4 but I'm *really* 40.6

damn.

gotta quit smoking and reduce my stress level.

Oh, no, Vix! You beat me to it. Now we've got 4 up and two down.

 

[Juliangel]

I am 31.3 but it says my "real age" is 28.8 and I could improve it if drove slower, ate more veggies and exercised more.

I am working on the veggies and the exercise but I love to drive fast.

 

[Ambrosious]

Juliangel

Go, Speed Racer, GO!

Re: Juliangel

LOL yep that's me and I still get left in the dust on 285.

 

[Starfish]

I am 27, but my real age is 31.2...what the heck, At least my skin looks like I'm 22!!!!

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

This was a fun questionnaire, although there are a couple of questions that seem to confuse the ideas of life expectancy and biological age. While behaviors like smoking, eating high-fat diet, and not exercising result in biological changes that would ordinarily occur later in life (or not at all), behaviors like not wearing your seat-belt or having a car with an air bag may be associated with higher death rates and lowered life expectancy, but they're not behaviors which phyisologically "age" you. Nitpicking I know, but what do you expect?

Anyway, I'm 25.8 chronologically and 22.3 by the test. I'm just glad I'm not under 21 so I can still drink.

 

[Laurel]

I'm very nearly 29, and my chronological age is 25.4. It says I should watch my allergies, reduce my driving speed (yeah, right!), and possibly gain weight.

 

[Gaucho]

Reduce your driving speed? On the San Diego freeways? Hell, you're either standing still or going like a bat out of hell...so, maybe it evens out in the long run.

 

[Laurel]

Exactly! If you stand still, you become a target. Better to go like a bat out of hell, I say.

 

[Cyan BloodsBane]

Okay this thing is wacked...

it says my real age is 16.4 (Shit I am to young to be here)

But my Bio-age is 24.4.

Thats a diff or 8.0

 

[CreamyLady]

Well, that damned whipped cream caught up with me. However, since I'm going to be 48 at the end of the month, 50 isn't that far away.

 

[Gaucho]

Welcome to my world, CL. I'll hit that number this fall so I'm just a tad behind you.

 

[CreamyLady]

I refuse to give up the whipped cream. Never! Take THAT, health nazis!

Sheesh. A little arthritis, a few extra pounds, and missing a piece of fruit now and then (admittedly in favor of chocolate) . . . who knew?

 

[Mistress]

Heh..

ERrrmm hmm, I need to get rid of all this damn stress in my life! lol
I am 22.2 years old and its says I'm 29.6
Hell, so I dont eat right never exercise (Dont have to)
Dont get enough sleep, on too many damn medications had a shitty child hood..err nm getting carried away here..I think you all understand!

 

[bluntforcemama]

Only proving what I know to be true

I'm 22, but actually 16 (according to the test). People always did tell me I look young for my age.... I need to start smoking and drinking, get to my real age....

 

[jcgirl]

Ok, Im 26, says my "real age" is 26.5

I should maintain my current weight, monitor my diabetes, I have a slower than average heart rate, my cholestoral level is excellent, i need to reduce my driving speed, stop using my cell phone, Im not getting enough sleep, i need to build a "stronger" social network.

Damn, nothing like bringing a person down. I was hoping to be 16!
