Immortality-pick the age you would like to be

In conjunction with Katies post if immortality comes about it would be nice if you could pick the age you would want to be for all eternity. I think I'd pick 25.

Would love to be a freshman in college again but this time be interested in fishing. I'm sure I would have still spent more time in bars and chasing tail but I was 10 min. from Jones Beach inlet and weekends in Montauk would have been a nice option. In four years I never made a cast.

2....somebody wipes my butt, I can take naps whenever I want, and women have no problem getting dressed in front of me

In all seriousness....25 sounds good to me.

I was stationed at The Naval War College in Newport for 2 years.....never made a cast....didn't even know what a striper was back then

25 sounds perfect to jump on the bandwagon I guess, not quite sure i'd go through with it though. scares the life outta me

Physically-18 mentally-(now) 34

I had a lot of fun and was a little crazy at 25 but the fact of the matter is I sucked at the mental thing then and got no true satsifaction from the way I was living my life.

Sorry guys/gals but I'm going another way: age mid-50's! Settled in life and comfortable, kids grown and no more worry about or actual tuition payments, still mostly have good health and able to do things what/when you want, etc. Now is the time for "me" (and the wife) and having all the toys and time to enjoy them.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

25 is great if you are an athelete. I would say 35 or so - better earning years, young kids are a ton of fun, more settled in life with a house rather than 25 chasing tail, getting wasted a lot, very little fishing though. Too many lost years in my 20's I would rather not think about.

I didn't get really right maturity wise until about 28.Maybe even 30.So I'd go for 29 years old.Great physical condition at that time as well.

32 would be mine. In shape and a little more mature. Any younger and Id probably make the same mistakes. I dont like hangovers anymore, so my 20's are not an option.

22, married my wife. Only if I could know what I know now. I'd be a better husband and father for it. I think that I have way more patience and understanding now, wish I'd had it then. Things did turn out great, but man, some things I could have handled better.
