I will take the risk anyhow. A God named SMURF does not really impress me. You could at least have chosen a Latin name man

Caeruleus Fatuus? Eh, marlon, can you inflect me? :blushing:
 
It doesn't matter what your chronological age is, it's how you think, act, feel, and look. I thought the girl two offices down from me was 25, she's 49 and a grandmother. :bugeye:

Moonbear is a youngster.

I'm not quite sure how other PF'ers regard fossils, but since most fossils are made when the animal is suddenly covered in sediments in the prime of their life and becomes preserved like that for all eternity, the association was, to my mind very clear:
I'm in a state of petrified, rock-hard youth..

I don't lie about my age, but I find that some people tend to catgorize people based on age. A young girl might want to be thought of as more mature and

Evo at this point i remember a nice song,Can you recognise it!

So she may be thirty-three
But that doesn't bother me
Her boyfriend's working out of town
I find a reason to go round
I climb a tree outside her home
To make sure that she's alone
I've see her in her underwear
I can't help but stop and stare

:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Everyone who's a PFer more than 1 year is fossil! :rolleyes:(we use this term for senior students too) Of course yomamma is an exception!

No, but you're making me reconsider my position on conversion therapy... and you've given me a great new use for the word fossilization. :biggrin:

Physics is Phun said:
does it switch between an insult and a compliment to being told you look older or younger?
I am an 18 year old guy. I would be complimented if you said i looked 22 but insulted if you said i looked 16.
But when does it switch, when I'm 22 will i be complimented or insulted to be called 20?
is there a difference if your a guy or girl?
Dear me, this thread has degenerated a lot, hasn't it?
 
Evo said:

any one that old. :biggrin:
