I wish i was William Pitt the Younger, but in todays times.


I've often wondered about that term "the younger;" does it mean there were 2 of them, one old and one young? Or does it mean something else?


In this case it was to distinguish himself from his father, who was William Pitt the Elder.


ah, good to know. thanks. i didn't pay much attention in history class.frustrated

I like my current age.




I hate mine but I try to ignore it.

I wish I were 13 so I could choose not to smoke, then pop to 60 so I could collect my late husbands social security (would help these days)then pop to right now and live everyday of the rest of my life as well as I can.

Things were alot easier when I was young but I also believe it is a much different world. It would make dating a little easier I suppose. For the most part I am content with being old....smokin

if numbers are just numbers and age is no barrier, how can being younger change anything at all?

it's your mindset, no?


No, maybe I didn't make it clear -- when I was younger, I had access to the kind of people I wanted to meet. Now that I'm older, I no longer have access to those people. It may be just as much a function of geography as age, but I still see no feasible way to resolve the issue.

i've never had access to the kind of people i wanted to meet. so at least you had it at one time.

I don't necessarily wish for myself to be younger, but often times, I wish life itself was more like the way it was when I was younger. Not so hectic, not so paranoid, not so "Big Brother".


My thoughts exactly...

I saw that line in a post on another thread --

Just that: "I wish I was younger."

Got to thinking about it.

My last girlfriend (Nov 07 - Aug 08) was 23.

The one before her was 19, the one before that 33.

I never saw age as a barrier, but now I'm really starting to wonder....

Because, when I was younger, I never had a problem meeting new people. I had two friends (they were like sisters to me) who had friends of theirs lined up (metaphorically) waiting to meet me.

It was so easy back then....

....when I was younger.

You get older, everybody is married and/or divorced, has kids, has "baggage" (we all have baggage, but it seems the people I know have collected massive concrete blocks in theirs, more and more each year)....

No access to the people I'd want to meet....

There are days when I can almost literally feel the "right" person drifting off beyond the horizon....

....all because of some stupid, irrelevant numbers....




Folks...some, can say age doesn't matter or influence their decision to contact someone, but I absolutely think it does in some cases. Many men my age want younger women and young pups have a preconcieved, not to mention erroneous, notion that folks my age have fragile bones and feeble minds. noway This is evidenced by the e-mail I receive as well as by what I don't receive.

I also think our activities change as we get older that expose us to a different age group. For instance, I used to be on a softball team and volleyball team. Now, I do volunteer work at the Community Center here which involves mostly older/elderly folks.

I would like to be younger with the wisdom I have gained...
It is a youth based society, I do have some hang ups about getting older.

I have a friend who owns a marketing company and they don't even survey people over 50 on some of the products, they figure by 50 your not going to switch brands anyway... so one thing older people don't have to worry about, those pesky telemarketing calls wanting our opinion.

I agree.

Sometimes I wish I could have a do-over..but that is just my selfish side.

I am content both with my age and my appearance and would not want to trade myself with anyone....
