How Old Are You?

[Quiet_Cool]

Wow!

We're a much younger board than i expected.

I'm 25, though I look both older and younger, and act...well...both older and younger.

*Shrugs*
Go figure...

 

[TheEarl]

Wow. I don't really know what I was expecting, but I thought we'd definitely be older than this. From the responses here, the average age of the board is 28 y/o.

Questions have to occur: Am I the youngest on the board (19 in August) and who is the oldest?

I just turned 21 this past week. My parents expect me to act like an adult now .... does that mean I have to behave myself now???

Of course not.

But you may want to consider starting to dress yourself without them helping you.

Who is the oldest?

Earl asks who is the oldest on the board?

I have a horrible feeling it could be me, at 56.

But people who have known me for many years say I haven't changed. They say it is because I have always looked old!

I'll be thirty-seven in March.

Earl -- I never would have guessed you to be that young. Your maturity speaks volumes (as does your av <g>)

You're safe by several years; The_Old_Man give a birthdate of 1927. I'm pretty sure he's the oldest active poster on the BB.

You may be the oldest frequent participant in this forum, but several posters in other forums are older than 56.

I am 25. Once summer rolls around I'll be 26.

 

[Just-Legal]

I'm not telling anything, except I've been legal for two years.

Now, is that UK legal, or US legal?

 

[karmadog]

Just-legal, it might depend on what US state you're talking about and what you might be legal for.

In my state, I've been sexually legal for 22 years. In other states, I've been sexually legal for 21 or 20. I've been voting for 20 years, drinking (legally) for 17 years.

38. Emotionally 12, but nearly dead.

male writers must be the exception that prove the rule

I am 34... and eagerly anticipating turning 40...

Turning 30 was the biggest relief of my life. I finally felt like I had gotten used to my skin and the biggest emotional events had occurred: moving out of home, graduating from college, getting married and having children. Whatever happened to the days of becoming an adult at 13?

I have to say that the young male writers here on the BB are exceptional in many ways, not the least of which is that they acknowledge a universe that extends farther than 6 inches past the end of their... noses.

In six days I'll be the age your anticipating....Care to trade. Even better I'm 39 going on 19.

 

[Guest]

trade?

Congrat DM!

I think 40 going on 19 sounds like a lot more fun than 18 going on 19... you'll have the insights to appreciate the year so much more!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I actually look forward to getting old. I can see it in my head: My hubby sits on the porch, looking at our grandchildren playing in the garden, and I come wagging out, carrying a tray with coffee and buns and milk. We're in our late 60'ies, fat and wrinkled... Awwwww...

 

[deliciously_naughty]

30 scares me, but I think it's because I always had planned to be at a certain place by that age, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to achieve those goals and I may not.

 

[medjay]

I'll be 29 at the end of the month. Officially pushing 30. I'm actually looking forward to getting grey hair, being able to wear black socks with white shorts and sitting on the stoop spouting knowledge to all the young kids in the neighborhood. I've always been an old soul.

 

[Guest]

I'll be 47 Feb 1.

And for the few of you that are younger and that are 'frightened' as you get older, believe me, there's nothing to be afraid of. I, for one, do not look back and say: 'I wish I was 20 or 30 or 40 again...' (Maybe, I'll begin saying that when I'm 60 or 70 or 80, but, probably not, LOL!)

The incredible experiences of life must be lived to be appreciated--good and bad. Live and savor life each and every day. And for your next birthday (in case I miss it), I wish you a happy and healthy one!

 

[English Lady]

I am so looking forward to being an old lady because I am determined to be as eccentric as my addled imagination will allow me to be!

I'm going to wear a big brimmed hat with plastic cherries stuck to it, I'm going to go round talking to everyone about anything and I am going to be one of those people who is "Aunty" to every kid in the neighbourhood. I might even keep a snake or a rat or some other strange creature.

I am going to be a crazy OAP!

 

[TheEarl]

Interesting point about my av: Although I've been legally allowed to have sex for two years, had that photo been taken 1 year ago, English Lady, JonHayworth, Natural Born Eros and any other English poster who'd seen it would instantly be subject to 5 years imprisonment for viewing child pornography.

So I could have sex at 17, but not be photographed naked. The weird and wonderful laws of the UK folks.

[kiwiwolf]

I'm old enough to know better, but young enough not to give a damn.








39

Now, is that UK legal, or US legal?

If "UK legal" is 15, or so, then you're not "old enough" to post at Lit...

Just something to think about...

I hear ya there. Though, my goals were set for 40 and not 30. I'm not sure I'll make it somedays. They were wonderful goals when I was 18 and still had over 20 years to complete them!

30 scares me, but I think it's because I always had planned to be at a certain place by that age, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to achieve those goals and I may not.

Actually, that is the wrong way to think. I also had certain 'goals' for certain ages in my life. One was to be married at or by the age of 26. Well, that didn't happen.

That was about the time I was understanding life isn't something you can plan. Sure, you can try, and you can plan for the possible situations, but life has a way of throwing the curve now and then.

I have come to experience life as it comes. I am happy in my personal life, and my health is good. I don't complain about the things I can't change (well, sometimes I still do), and don't worry about them.

Recently, the U.S. economy has been rough on me, but I had the means to keep my head above water. I am on the 3rd time around at reinventing my professional self. In the old days, you stayed in one job for 30-40 years and retired with a pension. Now days, you don't know what will happen tomorrow, and there is no such thing as a pension, in most cases.

If you haven't gathered from the bitching, I am 49 and will be 50 in April. But, that is no big deal. I lost most of my blonde locks in my late 20s, and have had a back that sometimes makes me feel like I'm in my 80s.

I was 6 foot, 150 lbs. for my whole life until about 4 years ago. Now, I am pushing 200 lbs. Still not fat, but not as skinny as I was, either.
Age has a way of changing your body, but your mind is mostly up to you. My body nearly 50 years old, and sometimes it feels older, but sometimes it also feels younger. I am happy to say I have no outstanding health problems, and my plumbing is still satisfactory to get the job done.

I am living out my sexual fantasies, and I feel secure personally, no matter what happens otherwise. In my mind, I am the 18 year old with the life experience of a 50 year old and I wouldn't change a thing. Oh, and I am still not married.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I got married at 18. Big mistake. Trust me, kiddies, you don't miss anything by postponing marriage.

You can still have sex.

 

[PoliteSuccubus]

Frist: Greymouse, Wizards was a kick ass movie, one of my personal faves!

Second: I just turned 41 on the 2ed. But, my youth group and their parents voted that must be an error, since I don't look, act, or even sound in my 40's and said I can start turning the clock back til I reach an age I'm comfy with on all levels. So this year, I'm trying 39, but...........it's still a little lumpy...........I think I'll go for 36 next time.

*sigh*

UK Legal is sixteen.

For some strange reason I thought US legal was unanimously 18?

I'm 20... ooh now theres a thought, did I have illegal sex when I was in the US two years ago? *vbeg*
