If you could choose any age to be and stay the rest of your life what would it be? You wouldn't be immortal just be able to stay one age until you die... I think I would choose 21.

Wow, what a great question. I would have to say at the youngest late 20's, because I was an a** at 21. I'd need some life experience under my belt. Probably 30. At 30 I was smart and I was cute. Then again, nothing was better than childhood, say age 8 or 10. But then I wouldn't have my kids! So freeze me at age 30.

Why would you choose 21? Just out of curiousity, for me I would choose the age where I was truly happy before I was diagnozed with depression and before I gave up my beautiful flat to be with a manipulative, controlling, nasty piece of work and that was at the age of 27.

well, I chose 21 at first, because it is the age here in america, you can drink and officially actually become an adult. But since I have changed my mind to stay the age I am now, 23, because I didnt have both of my kids when I was 21 =)

There are many reasons that I would continue to get older....but the major one are that I want to continue to watch my children and grandchildren....by remaining one age of the rest of my life I would deprive them of the chance to grow up and fulfill their lives dreams and goals... Plus if I had stopped at any certain age that I have experienced so far...I would have missed out on all of the things thathave happened since that time or if I stayed this age today...I would miss all of the changes that life will bring in the future... For me, I'll just keep aging gracefully, I hope!!!

I think 30 would be good because you have been through a lot by this time and are mature (well mature to a point..lol..some just never grow up), I don't know I just think 30 would be a great age. -Lora

I havent reached it yet, so I cant really say. I am only 23, so I cant really say about that yet, but it seems a good age. Where you are really mature, yet still young. Good answer! =)

I'd probably just stay at the age I'm at right now which is 39...I'm pretty happy with where my life is at right now, I'm healthy and best of all I'd never have to turn 40....LOL

14 or 15? those seem to most to be the roughest years, though I loved it then I would not go back...Wow 5-6 proposals in 2 years, you were doing pretty good huh? I had a couple in high school, but I said no, too. Thanks for responding!

At this point I feel that I would want to be 6 years old all my life. Life is innocent at that age. There are no major tensions. And most importantly there is no interest in romance, thereby there is no chance of heartbreaks.

I think I would have to stay the age I am at right now. I am 23. Still Young enough to hang with the younger crowd but still old and mature enough to be a mother and a wife. (and still have the ability and enegry to chase after children) Haha

I agree,, I am also 23, and can hang with the younger crowd, and still be a mother, and have the energy for it, I agree, I think I might change my answer. As I only had one of my kids when I was 21, So I think I'd rather stay this age too.

Let's see, Hmmn I am now on my late 30's...At the age of 28, I'm almost into anything of life has to offer, stable job, being married ,have a child, ended my marriage, gained back freedom and have my own life.To make it to the fullest, the age of 40 will definitely just a start of life to the fullest.No childishness, no setbacks ONLY RELAXING!Life is just starting and that would be in my forties.Can't wait!

what age? no age... life is by definition a time that pass. Living suppose an evolution, an transition from state i in state i+1 (i-i+1) given some time... so being suspended in i state doesn't represent any interest... it's just stillness;) and that sucks:)

I would rather stay around 6. So full of hopes and dreams and not yet at the age where your realize all the atrocities in this world, plus at that age, you'd always be taken care of!

true...it was a time of dreams, and nothing in the world could deter you from them. 6 was a great time. =)

I think I would go with 21 too. I think that is the age where almost anything will be legal for you to do.

i think the age i'll choose to live my whole life is my childhood and young age afterwards, bcoz all the carelessness is in childhood while the knowledge of world is in young age!! so i'll go for both young and childhood!!

I believe I would want to be 30. When I was 30 years old I had no wrinkles, no crow's feet, no aches, no pains. I felt wonderful at that age. Lots of energy to do what I needed to do and then some. Yes, 30 would be it for me!

i would choose to be in 20's, that's the age when we have finished college, and have work already....

yes, I chose 21, because that is the legal age you can drink and become an "adult". here. So, I can agree with ya.
