16
Fuck being an adult. I just don’t wanna wake up sometimes.
probably 18. Free enough to do whatever I want but young enough that society doesn’t expect any responsibilities from me.
31
- I had a lot of growing to do before then, but at that point I felt like I had become a person I wanted to be. I actually had got back to school, so I was around a community of learners, and I felt like I was still on top of my job. I feel like I mulliganed my early 30s to the pandemic.
Team 28 checking in, it was a very good year.
25, maybe 30.
Your brain doesn’t finish developing until around that point, and it’s the part that helps you control your thoughts and emotions (prefrontal cortex). There are no other advantages after 30, though, and the development been 25 and 30 isn’t as vast as 18 to 25.
That said, I’ve been blessed with a middle aged 40 year old body since I was 12, so meh. (And really, I should have been given “most likely to do his taxes on time” title in the yearbook.)

Are we min/maxing our answers? Lol
16
Assuming our cognition stays the same and we’re just talking changing physically, I’d probably say like 25.
Early thirties. Peak physical, loads of free time, good paying job, so good money.
I miss the endurance I had. Everything else is still like that.
Have you developed some serum for this? Give me a quote for 100 bottles.

40-50. (53 now) Around then you’re old enough to have some gravitas, even if you don’t try. People respect you automatically, which is weird.
You can still be in excellent shape and looking good. I kinda lucked out on that.
Bonus: If you have all your teeth and hair and are non-fat, the dating pool is smaller, but awesome. I was dating women I wouldn’t have had a chance with when younger.
I am a lady, but had the same experience. Maybe a 5 as a 20 something, average in looks and the curvy short girls win the early rounds. Always had a few guys who thought I was the best thing they’d ever seen but not “majority attractive”, understand? But just stayed in shape and waited, and, well, small don’t fall so as a 50-something relatively much better looking. It was such a a surprise.
500+, would be interesting to have seen so much.
- I was the thinest and fittest I’ve ever been in my life and I felt invincible, had tons of energy, could eat whatever I wanted and drink like a fish and still wake up early the next day without a hangover. God, I miss that body.
One year younger than however old I’ll be when I die.
Granted, you die at 110 years old.
I liked being 16. Mature enough to design grand plans. Naive enough to actually try them.
Plus the greatest adversary I face for the rest of my life would just be standardized testing :P
