You left out "Older than Dirt" so I had to allow myself to be labeled based on my physical age (as measured by rotations of this planet around its primary), though my mental age is much less. 

Early Cretaceous would also be an acceptable age, though there may have been issues with the various global warming organizations of that time...those selfish bast*rds.  They acted like they didn't want to later become the "driving force" that made my commute to work possible.

If you've already voted you can't be over 54 methinks and thats not old.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Let us do that for you.

The problem is that there are so many possible choices.  Do I measure my age in:

Years since my body was born?
Years since I accepted that I was transgendered?
How old I feel in the morning after a hard day's work the day before (or really 2 days before)?
How young I feel in my head?
How young I act when that cutie at the office says they need help?
How old I feel when all my younger friends are showing pictures of their grandkids?
How young I feel when I laugh and say I don't have any grandkids yet?
How young I feel while the tequilla flows, or how old I feel the next morning?


So many choices, and the correct answers are across the board.

I think it is a trick question.  Ask any AARP member...you are only as old as you feel

In Laurry's perfect world (where I have won the lottery and don't have to actually do anything for a living), 3:30pm would be just in time for breakfast, but alas, I am still un-rich.

Zythyra, yet again it seems we are long lost twins as I, also, have been on this earth 51 years so far this time (7-2-56 for you bean-counters).  I am NOT a member of AARP, (for the same reasons as you), though some of the discounts ARE appealing.

As far as Luby's for supper at 3:30...What?  You want we should meet at 4?  ... What part of exaggerated stereotypes did you not understand?  OMG...you ARE getting old!!!! AND OMG! OMG! that means I am too....AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!   :icon_yikes:

And our dear poor Pica...Zie was much too nice a person to have fallen victim to age-grouping...we will miss hir youthful charm and exhuberance...alas...woe is me.  <sounds of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth>

Laurry,

I was born in March 1956, so being twins could be tricky, although not impossible. Goddess, 4 months of labor, poor Mom!!  :icon_help:

It's optional.

Of course, it is an androgyne poll, so obscure, long winded explanations (see any of my posts for examples of this) are welcome.  ;D

44 is same forwards as backwards, so you could be either age. If you prefer, 4+4 is 8, so you could be that age too...  :laugh:

Explaining your age would entail describing certain actions from a mother and father. Dont think we want to hear that.

Rebis, I had a feeling you'd like the approach of adding the two numbers together. ;)

I also realize that I should've considered possibilities of subtracting, multiplying or dividing the numbers... let's see, I'm 51, 5-1=4, 1-5= -4, 5 divided by 1 is 5, 1 divided by 5 is 1/5... gosh, this age stuff gets complicated for androgynes  ;D

I am the old one, so far.  I noticed that the majority are under 30.  Back in the 60's (which of course none of you kids remember) we had a saying, "Don't trust anyone over 30."  Most of us now have a hard time remembering what it was like to be under 30.  Of course many of my contemporaries have a hard time remembering anything.  >:D

Louise,

I always disliked that saying. I was 13 at the tail end of the 60s, and knew a lot of cool people then who happened to be over 30. One can't assume people have certain attitudes due to their age.

Post by: krys on August 26, 2007, 05:37:44 AM
I don't agree with that phrase either. Many of my friends are older than me. I'd like to be 18 again so as I can re-run life without all the amazing screw ups (oh yea... that'd be good!) but I dsilike overall the modern cultural bias towards dismissing the old. Being young has it's advantages (as does being older) but it is not a personal achievement (I didn't get a choice in the year I was born in, after all) and being in no way makes you inherently better than people who were born in the decades preceding your own.

Respect the experiences gaine din this world by your elders, and respect the misplaced optimsm of youth  :angel:

What does 26 feel like. The years haven't really made any difference to me mentally for atleast 5 years. I don't remember 26 feeling any different then 27 with the exception of coming to terms with who I was but that didn't really have anything to do with how old I was, just where life took me by then.

I'm 18, but the general consensus from random strangers (on many occasions in the past year or so) is that I look 15.  :laugh: I used to look older than I was, but now it seems I'm growing younger...?  ???
Works for me. I never fancied the idea of adulthood anyway.  :)

I just turned 24... I'm considering undergoing HRT but I guess I'm more androgyne since I like being both male and female :)

I can't even remember what 19 was like. I was too depressed to notice.

I do remember my 19th birthday though! I had enough tequlla and lemon for everyone and I had my first kiss ever with my lesbian flatmate with her girlfriend, our flatmate, scowling next to us. What a night. I was such a dope  ;D

Me either.  I seem to be missing a good number of years in there...why do they go by so fast?!!!

I was born in 48, or was it 84? Does it matter?
I've been androgyne all my life, but couldn't put a name to it until Mother Earth had carried me round Father Sun about 45 times (Oh, I guess the year of birth was 48, then! Sob!!).
I feel about 35 and have a mental age somewhere between 15 and 60, depending on the weather, the company and what we're doing.

In a way, I wouldn't mind being younger as it would mean that I'd have more time* after coming to terms with who and what I am. I know I'd like to have the body shape I had during my mid-20's.

* barring unforeseen circumstances

But were you able to come to terms with who you are as a part of getting older. That is, if you were younger, would you still be in the midst of that process and not have more time comfortable with it?

I'm not trying to be heavily philosophical or make trouble. I just know that one reason I like being where I am is because of the results of the process it took to get me here and that took time.

Young enough that it got edited out of my intro post, which should give you a good rough estimate.

Luke,

I'm not sure maturing or just plain getting older helped me come to terms with what I am. It was more a matter of coincidence that I began to seriously ask myself questions after reading Luna by Julie Anne Peters about 2 years ago.

Reading that book triggered a whole host of memories to come flooding back. If I had read it a few years earlier when my daughter first read it, I would have come to terms with myself at a younger age, probably by about 5 years.

Shades O'Grey, I see what you mean. And thank you for the pointer to Luna. Sounds like a good book.

While my back is about 800 on a bad day, the rest of the carcass is 56 and the mind is still somewhere in the mid 20's.  Any time I feel maturity creeping up I just plug in a guitar and rock on!!
Maybe we don't get older, just collect years as we go along?
