| So, I've been thinking a lot lately about age and what comes along with it. I was wondering at what age do most people just want to quit getting older? |
| I think usually at the age of 19, people begin to feel the pangs of getting older. |
| Probably between 20 and 25, since that's about the time when you've matured enough to get a good idea about the kind of person you are, and it's also the point where your body has finished developing, no? |
| Unrelated I adore your icon. On topic, probably mid 20's or so. Bodys at its prime, got a basic concept of life, etc. |

I suppose that you are right. Everyone that I talk to about this irl always say much older but I already dread the next birthday. Ha, it's ironic that everyone that has posted is younger than me. |
| Getting older? What's that? |

AStrangerInside said: seishi-sama said: Getting older? What's that? Ha, I sense a little bit of sarcasm there :]. Not really. :) To be honest, I've discussed this topic with a friend of mine who just turned 25 the other week. He was saying that 25 is the exact age most people realize they're getting older and stuff, and I disagreed saying I haven't realized that yet and never intend to (which is true). :) |
| I'll agree with the person who said 20-25. I've just learned to deal with getting older because you can't stop it. I'm 24 btw |
 |
| EDIT: I think it would be probably 25-30. Actually I think 20-24 is still pretty young to be complaining about age. After that age is when you really have to get serious and think about settling down and what not. Long term job, possible significant other, kids and such. I'd hate to think what my cousin is thinking right now. He works at a AT&T store, is 31 years old, living with his friend and his friend's wife and still single. He's just lucky that he looks amazingly young and is really good looking.(No homo) Most people think he is 25. I'm just curious why though he hasn't found a girl to settle with. Great personality and looks something has to be up! That's just me rambling about my family though.. |

I need to be as positive as you are about it. Aarosmashguy said: I've just learned to deal with getting older because you can't stop it. I suppose that I'm going to have to do that also :/ |
| You might reconsider your options in life at 30 and regret it later at 50. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |

Nahaha, I'm 21 and I feel the same way. But not because of anything physical, but because there are certain things I need to start doing and things I should of already done at this point in my life. I'm a pretty useless guy, so I'm starting to feel some pressure to get on with it lol. ..and I'm only younger by a few months! xD |

A lot of woman at that age already are taken or probably have a kid. Either got to get lucky and find someone single soon, have to be willing to take in a child that's not his, or aim for younger girls in their 20s. Aw man that's got to be tough. Now I feel like I got to go hunting for a girl now too! lol |

I guess that is one part of being an adult that sucks is all the responsibility of having to do something with your life. |

I do think it goes both ways though most men are also taken by that age and as you get older some people lose confidence. Ha, so maybe you should go do that, lol. |
| Some where in the early to mid 20's. I am 24 now and this is good enough for me. In hind sight I would rather stop getting older at about 12. Life was good and easy back then. No worries at all. |

JavierR said: yep I wanted to be 21 so i can drink, but now that im 19 i don't even give a shit anymore i want to be 16 again and back in high school Yeah I would wanna be 18 so I can re live my senoir year in high school over and over again. Best year of my life. Im 19 now btw |
| I am 50, and I decided when I was 49 that I was fed up with my demographic and thus decided to hell with them I am 19 till I say otherwise. Too many people think there is some sort of magic benefit to being considered 'mature', but considering how I have seen several stages of life now, infant, child, teen, young adult, 30s, middle age and now the thresshold of senior, I can tell you, the second you give up on being a kid, you've lost the only good thing life has to offer you. Hey your body will continue to develope regardless of your consent, some things will occur whether you like it or not. You will in time experience the slowing down part and you will miss the performance level of your teens. If you don't do a lot to avoid it, you will end up slow, ugly and more or less flabby and round at the middle. Men tend to end up bald a lot. Women are no longer 'firm' where that is a bonus. I miss being able to game all night, and I miss being able to perform sexually a dozen times a day with no effort. But I really appreciate the value of 50 years of wisdom, which no college can give you for any price. An average 50 year old will likely know every bit as much as a professor in his 20s regardless of his degrees. B ut not all knowledge will be of use on a resume. I think I was my best when I was about 27. I was past the inexperience of my teens, and I had already escaped the first part of the 20s when you are struggling to discover who and what you want to do for the rest of your life. That, and if you don't know anything about relationships by 27, you will never get it at all :) |

| I wanted to quit getting older at 21 and now im 22 (FFFFUUUUU) |
REAL VS ANIME: Just face it, your chances of scoring with either of these two are unlikely. |
| I'm 20 and I feel old already. As a number, age doesn't mean a thing to me, but time tells its tales well. And yeah, most people want to stop aging at about 20 or so. I wanted at 18, so... |
| I wanted to stop aging when I got to my senior year of high school, I was 15 at the time. Now I'm inching towards 18 and dreading it. |

| About 16 or 17 ;) |
 |
| 23 here, i would not want to be 19 again, i would say 21, legal to drink anywhere, still young, bang, best age |
 |
| I imagine most wish to stop aging once they realize that their appearance is starting to degrade. Well, maybe one day people will be able to implant their brain into a vat-grown body, so then they wouldn't have to worry about age. |
| Preferably right now. I dread losing that "-teen" next year. |
Flaky said: Most people don't drink alcoholic beverages because of their taste, and most who do only do that as an acquired taste.I don't get how people gets the habit of drinking frequently. Well I tried few glasses before on an occasion (in which they forced me to lol) and Idk it tastes so bad and all. Why would anybody want to drink this and complain on hang-overs by morning. |

Why would anybody want to drink this and complain on hang-overs by morning. Not all alcoholic beverages are created equal. I don't know anyone that would willingly order every single drink/mix any given bar has to offer. But at any rate, yeah, there's no fun to be had in drinking frequently. (...and incidentally, sore throats are even worse than hangovers.) |
| after you make it through puberty, you begin to die. literally. theres a line when your body stops growing - and begins to decline. you literally hit the top and then your body starts to age. not quoting anyone, this is just my opinion oh yah, don't do too many drugs or drink excessively. it won't help. hehe. |
| depends on attitude i guess i know people older than 40 who still feel young and do everything they want to so ... |

| 40? It probably depends from person to person. Some say 30, some 40...oh well, I never put much thought into this topic. |

This is more or less true. My decline is next year. At the age of 25. 'Cause that's when you reach your natural plateau of growth. It can be affected by alcohol and smoking. You're more likely to get injured and it's harder to lose weight. This obviously depends on the person, some ppl just have better genes. but I believe I'll be really healthy and at the peek of my game till around 35. (Since I'm sporty and I don't eat junk) |
Trapalicious said: Preferably right now. I dread losing that "-teen" next year. You won't. Like I said on another thread, when I turned twenty, I actually turned twenteen. Mentally and physically I don't think I've changed since I was about roughly 20/21. I probably won't notice any differences until I hit twenty-five, maybe. Then I'll wish I'd stayed frozen at twenty. |
| Dunno I'm only 17 yet I want to stop growing already. The right to drink? Bullshit I don't care about it. The right to smoke? Why would I wanna die faster, just to look cooler? that's not me As for how you'll look that's just on the outside, isn't what's on the inside more important? Sincerely it's how old you feel not how old you look, your responsabilities etc.... Now as everyone said already I have a lot of friends older than me and they started feeling "old" at around 25, but that's not true for everyone. |
| 16 After that.. you just really want to stop >.> |
 |
| I'm twenty just now and, although that's still pretty young, I'm starting to feel a bit like this. Simply because I don't know what I want to do with my life, and feel like I haven't achieved much so far etc. It's a bit scary to know I'll soon be out in the real world and have to decide on what I'm going to do. Having said that, I still look - and act - about eight so... |
