As far as the youngest adults in society are concerned, it has never been more «over» for anybody over the age of 25. «Man, I told these 23 year old girlies I was 28 last night and they went ‘whaaaat, you look so gooood!’,» complained one Twitter user last month. «Yeah bro I’m 28.» The …

20-year-old girlfriend insists on going trick-or-treating with 25-year-old boyfriend on Halloween, he thinks it’s weird: ‘I don’t want to be a buzzkill’
There’s an episode of That 70s Show entitled «Too Old To Trick or Treat Too Young To Díe» and I think about that all the time. It’s such a poignant phrase. At a certain point in one’s life, you lose the ability to trick or treat. You probably didn’t notice it when it was happening, …

29-year-old berates her 35-year-old sister-in-law because she looks young for her age, sulks when waiter assumes she’s 18-years-old: ‘She told me I should wear a bib since I’m such a baby’
Everyone is extremely weird about age. I’ll never forget the time I was at a bar with my friends when two 21-year-olds approached us. One of them turned 21 that very day, and this was the first bar she ever went to legally. She asked me and my friends how old we were. I said, …

‘What kinda small town question is this’: Woman gets roasted for chiding millennials and Gen Z who are unmarried past 25
My lukewarm take on the suitable time for marriage is that it can happen at almost any age, so long as both of you are responsible adults who want nothing more than to be together. That being said, I’m pretty grateful that I didn’t make that kind of commitment before my prefrontal cortex was fully …

‘He sent me to the office for detention’: Father gets mistaken for high school student, is written up for infraction
I think I’ve always looked exactly the age that I am. It’s kind of a superpower. When I was 12, I looked 12. When I was 20, I looked 20. Once in a blue moon, someone will think I’m younger than I am, but not often. But guessing someone’s age is all about context. When …

Things That Make People Look Ten Times Older Than They Are
I started smoking cigarettes when I was about eighteen years old. Of course I knew smoking was slowly going to kill me, but at the time, I’d never considered the fact that it was making me uglier. By the time I was thirty, I could tell those decades of sucking down carcinogens had taken a …

People Share the Most Important Things They Realized As They Got Older
There are many things that only come to us with age. Learning lessons is a fact of life that we have no choice to accept. Still, that process of acceptance is rarely a quick or easy one. If there is any point to this ridiculous existence of ours, it’s that we have to learn stuff. …

15 Hilarious Tweets Mourning Victims of ‘Twink Death’
Youth does not last forever; for many people, that is unforgivable. This week, Twitter user @thenorthmens went viral after posting two pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio, one in the 90s and one now, with the caption, «twink death is a terrifying thing.» If you didn’t know, a twink is a slim, young, and hairless gay man. …

People Explain All the Relatable Things They Can’t Tolerate As They Get Older
There are many gifts that aging brings, and they aren’t just limited to gray hair and wrinkles. Getting older allows us to have a lot more wisdom about the world, at least in comparison to when we were 18. What naturally follows from this is that we start to get a lot pickier about certain …

The Generational Meme Redux Of My Parents In Their 30s
In case the internet’s long term anti-boomer crusade hasn’t made it clear enough, younger generations haven’t had it so great for a while. Between rising living costs, stagnant wages and a society hellbent on making things harder for the little guy, it can be easy to look at coming of age a few decades earlier …
