Women in your 30's... would you ever go back to your 20's?

Personally I wouldn't. I'm so much more assured of myself and confident at 33 than I ever was at 23. I also think people take me more seriously.

What about you?

1. No

My 20's sucked. My life started getting good once I hit my 30's.

2. MY 20's? No. Bleh.

Someone else's 20's? Who knows.
I can't really think of a single way in which my 20's were better than my 30's (although I haven't been in my 30's all that long).

5. Knowing what I do now? Sure.

I think I would have dated a lot more, and never would have gotten together with Mr. Untreated Bipolar Stalker.

8. I'm 40, but I'd consider going back to the late 20s.

Early 20s, no way. But I enjoyed getting married, having my first kid, exploring my career betwen 26-29...

30s were kind of a holding pattern for me.

I think the 40s will be good -- hope to focus on the career and enjoy the family, rather than be subsumed by it.

11. Totally.

I'm the opposite. I was much more happy and confident when I was 21 than I am now (32).

16. Well....

Can we sort of modify that?
Change it to..."Women in your 50's" and "Would you go back and have the body (physical strength, health, flexibility...stuff that doesn't hurt unless you seriously abuse it etc.,) that you did in your 20's but keep the all experience, wisdom and stuff you've learned that you've acquired along the way?"

:dilemma:

17. I would go back to age 2, if I could.

Conception, preferably.

I would do it all over again in an instant!

Whether or NOT I retained memory of my previous
experiences.

18. No way

I wouldn't mind not having some mild chronic back pain but other than that everything is better now. Career in better shape, more confident, smarter and will walk away from men who want to play mind games.
