Seniors used to get more respect and were looked up to; now our values seem to be headed in the opposite direction. Youth is celebrated and worshipped, old age is frowned on, ignored, and feared. This says a lot about modern society.


The advantages of being old:

You have more experience, hence wisdom, knowledge, common sense, you may be more cynical but less naive, etc.

You are more comfortable, life is easier, you (hopefully) have more money and friends who are more respectable, you have more interesting stories to tell and reflect on.

You can get away with more and take advantage of discounts, you feel less pressure to conform and can just be yourself, you have less responsibility and can live for the moment.

The disadvantages:

You are more prone to diseases and are closer to death. You have less physical energy and are less quick or sharp mentally.

You aren't as good looking and its harder to get laid (if you still can do it at all).

I guess those are the only real disadvantages, but they count for a lot.

I'm generally satisfied with my current brand of hotness, lee.
But congratulations on your own younger-hotter-ness.

Saying that figure is acurate: I'll always be younger and hotter than you.

But I wasn't talking about you in the first place.

Being old doesn't always make you wise. I'm young and have stories to tell/reflect back on and I'm still making more. I get away with fucking murder on pretty much a daily basis. I don't need discounts, I don't buy crap. If old people didn't drive I'd like them a whole lot more. Fuckin' greyheads.

I'll see yours and raise you one.

I'm 44 and haven't shaved my pits in a week.

In case any of you were wondering, unshaved pits on a woman really are more sexy.

I don't see any harm in a lil' armpit stubble but any moustache has gotta go.

I prefer to be young when you "don't know any better" and get away w/ stupid shit (and sometimes even praised!). When you're old and fuck up they throw you in a nursing home.

No but it does remind one of just how fucking silly we were when we were your age.

I'm young and have stories to tell/reflect back on and I'm still making more.
You have what... two stories? Hell, you made one of them up. You have no idea of what "reflecting back" is.

I get away with fucking murder on pretty much a daily basis.
Yeah, I thought that to. You aren't getting away with much. People who are older and wiser around you know more than you think. You will find as you gro, that most of what you think "you are getting away with", wasn't worth getting away with in the first place.


I don't need discounts, I don't buy crap.
This is because you are young and stupid and can't afford to buy crap. When you get older, you will possible smarten up enough to make enough money to buy crap and you will do so.



If old people didn't drive I'd like them a whole lot more. Fuckin' greyheads.
I am not in this catagory but will point back at you and remind you of the fact that you aren't exactly Mr Joe Gooddriver yourself. Lack of experience is not in your favor. Ever wonder why they want so much for insurance from your age group?


The problem with the question of this thread is that the young are not truly qualified to answer as they haven't experienced both sides.

I'm 27. I don't smoke and I'm not on any medication, and I live an active lifesyle.

And I have very good muscle definition. I am sexy without trying to be sexy. (ooo baby, yes I am)

But I'm not rich-not yet.

So who here is hotter than me?

Okay, then.

I am sex personified, multiplied, slapped around a bit, and then released to the wild.
