The Age Thread

Postby Green October Z » Sun May 24, 2020 3:19 am

How old are you? How you do feel about the age you are? Do you wish that you were younger or do you perhaps look forward to growing older?

I am 24 years old, but will be 25 come October. To be honest, I do not like being in my mid-20s as it makes me feel, well, old, despite what others say. I wish I could be a few years younger (around 20) and I very much still feel like I am a kid inside. Of course, because of my small size and rather feminine facial features, a lot of people mistake me as someone in their early or mid-teens which is a double-edged sword. On the one hand I look pretty young and I like the reactions people have when I tell them that I am really a 24 year old guy. On the other hand, I have been denied entry into bars and R-rated movies because of my appearance with many thinking that I am a minor using a fake driver's license.

People born in July are scientifically better than other people. On average we're happier, taller and healthier than anyone else.

As for me, read my sig, I am eldest.

Wow did you make a mess of that poll.

13,14,15
16,17
18,19
20,21,22,23
24,25,26
27,29
30,31,32,33
34,35,36
37,38,39
40+

How about doing it again with 3 years to each option:

13-15
16-18
19-21
22-24
25-27
28-30
31-33
34-36

Then the last two options try to cover the rest of humanity:

37-47
48+

Or if you want

37-39
40+

Yes, it's OK to change the poll. Better sooner than later. This thread could go a while, believe me.

Do 40+ people make up half the earth's population, you all die out pretty fast, quite sure India has a remarkably young population.

Yes, I think it's safe to say 40+ is a valid poll option.

Your poll is objectively bad, nothing to do with math, it's just a badly spaced poll.

"Objective An individual’s birth month has a significant impact on the diseases they develop during their lifetime. Previous studies reveal relationships between birth month and several diseases including atherothrombosis, asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and myopia, leaving most diseases completely unexplored. This retrospective population study systematically explores the relationship between seasonal affects at birth and lifetime disease risk for 1688 conditions.

ie, July in the US.

than anyone else.


I doubt any of that applies to the 40% of people who live in the tropics. And it is definitely ass-about for the Southern Hemisphere.
