How old do you want to be?

In light of the age poll, If you were going to be frozen a certain age (you have no choice in this game) what would it be?

I just turned 20, so i havn't been through my 20's yet, which is probably the age I'd want to be frozen at. Like 25, or 26. Then again, being a permanent child (like 4-8) so long as you are safe and taken care of would be bliss. You are so easily entertained at the age.

And while I'm at it, what age do you feel like you are? I still feel 17, not sure why that particular age though. I mean, I'm def much different than I was when I was 17, but that's still how old I feel. Not sure why.

Probably 26, a man is the fittest in his lifetime at 24. I figure with 2 more years, I'll be still fit, and a bit more knowledgeable.

i'm 28 and i think back to 23. 23 really was good to me for some reason but 28 is okay. i'm finding age doesn't hurt and i'm not scared of 30 - yet anyway. age brings many gifts including (insert joke here).

Im pretty sure that the age that you're fittest at really depends on the person. Putting a specific age on it is silly.

I'd say 17 frozen at 17. Then again, im only 20 so I really don't know what the rest of lifes gonna be like.

It's the best compromise of youthful idealism, emotional maturity, life experience, and physical health.

Really good question and the answer is it depends.

Do I get to keep what I know now? If so, perhaps 10 years younger than my 48. If not, I'll stay the age I am now. Wisdom is important and I've made enough mistakes to pick up quite a bit. I work out, have no health problems and generally feel pretty good, although I know I can't do certain things at nearly the level I did 10 or 20 years ago.

24 for me, I'm still 2 years away from that age but I think it would be a good age to stay at, old enough to buy smoke and beer and also have lower insurance

also perfect age to start a family at!

Early 20s (well, maybe even to around 25-26). Physical peak, sexy, and past the horrible psychosis of the teenage years. Either that, or physically healthy and eighty-something. You get to be that crazy old guy who calls kids whippersnappers and all that good stuff.

i would have to say i would like around 27-28. Old enough to have a stable job (hopefully), be mature (as I wish to be), and be independent. seeing as how I am only 22, I would have to live up to that point first, but I think those ages would be ideal.

as far as what I feel like.. I would have to say 13 or 14... Still very much a child

I say 30.

More mature, sophisticated, yet not too old to have fun.

Still have the zeal for life, not too cynical, still have goals to achieve.

Seen more of the world, but not too much such that you proclaiimed "I seen it all".

Yup, I would take these for erternity.

27 seems good to me, it's old enough to still be considered young-ish, and its a bit of a distance away from the dreaded 30 that freaks people out so much.

Also a good age to get married and start a family, if I want to.

35 for me. It's the ripe age where 90% of single women prefer your age range, you can run for president, you gain universal respet if you look decent, and you can still find excuses to act silly.

I like every age I've been... each one had their pros and cons.

I don't know what the future holds, but each year my understanding of the world and how I fit in it has gotten better and better.

I don't want to be the same age forever. If I was forced to answer, it would be whenever right now is.

I rather like the ability to go back and forth in ages - besides, they never said whether it was physical or mental age . Physical age, I like being young and flexible, and healthy without creaking. But mentally, i'm all over the spectrum.

I'm only 21, and I can't say what the future will hold for me, but assuming my current plans work out, I think I would like to be 27 or 28. I will have a degree and have a year or so of my career under my belt. There are so many things I want to do that require me to be out of school and have money.

I wouldn't want to go back in time, that's for sure...

I'd like to be stuck somewhere around 30 to 35. The thing to remember is that you are stuck in the physical aspect of that age... Naturally you will continue to mature with time and experience.

I would hate to be able to live forever and not benefit from the wisdom of time.

I'd say about 25, old enough to be pretty mature, but young enough to still be in your physical prime.
