Aren't you considered a young adult between the ages 20-23? At least I think you can call yourself a "true" adult at the age of 24.

Just curious: If you happen to be 30, would you put yourself in the 20-30 range or 30-40? I suppose it depends on your outlook on life.......

I never wish it to be evening when I get up, but most "work" days I do wish I could stay in bed instead of getting up. Does that count?!

the 6% is just taking the average of the number of votes & turning it into a percentage:

your vote (1) divided by how many people voted (15) = 0.0666

As a percent thats 6.66%

Hope that clears it up! :)

ETA to fix the math error... :oops:

thanks Matt...! Looks like someone's going to fail her physics final as she can't seem to do simple math!

Definately! There are 2 guys at work who are both in their early thirties. One acts like he's in his early 20's, the other like he's in his forties! Age is only a number...

Well what about the whole thing about old men marrying young women (I'm talking about 89 year olds marrying 25 year olds). If age is only a number why do we frown upon this and say that the 25 year old women are gold diggers??? Just some food for thought...

Yes Kate you are probably the youngest on this forum, or the baby of the group so to speak! :)
While a tiger eyed its prey and an eagle raged in a thunderous sky a river of darkness fell upon a burning sun and the wolf cried tis a time to die, thus did the angels weep as power and triumph in those golden eyes did creep.

Not all gold diggers are married to old guys...they're just the ones that are easily spotted! Think footballers wives, Julie Cooper-Nichol (the OC!)...

Getting back to the age thing - there's always going to be a stigma attached to large age differences whether its "gold digga's" or "toy boys". Besides the fact that people find it hard to believe someone could be physically attracted to a much older person, it's perceived that the two people involved have so little in common that there must be ulterior motives in play. Having said that...I reckon the main reason the older "party" gets involved is for a little fun... almost "regressing" to re-live their twenties!

I imagine Hugh Heffner has a lot more in common with his "bunnies" than I would...
