What decade/era would you choose to go back to at your current age?

I'd go back to the 90's and join in in all those illegal raves 😂❤️ either that or go back to Scandinavia the 900's with the Vikings

wow, that's difficult to say, you have to choose time and place... and ignore the diseases and the pain, the abuse of women and exploitation of children, slavery, colonialism... it is hard to find a good time in the past, even for a fantasy.
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@Yulianna I totally agree. Why pave the road to the future with inferior materials mixed by past generations? We have the ingenuity to come up with something better, something so much more promising.
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@PhoenixPhail ell, we have at least the will and the energy to try...
70's and back to the late 1800's. I hate this era.

Will do!
We don't have a pool but a trick I learned is to let a lot of cool air in during the morning and then close the windows and run the fans on high. It helps!@Stereoguy

Ahh, the vikings sound cool for sure. @JustGoneNow and I can be shield maidens together!
Other than, fast forward me to the future please! :)

@sarabee1995
areas of "unknown risk"

now, doesn't that describe life at the present 😄

I'm comfortable in my own skin now - albeit that it's not as toned as it once was. In any previous decades I would have been an old man! No thank you!🤣
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@ArtieKat exactly

@Elessar don't forget the orgies too 😬😂
Elessar · 26-30, M
@AliceNoctem That was the after-party I guess 😂
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@Elessar I just need to invent a time machine now haha

00s and buy a house on the wages I have now
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@SW-User Good idea 🤔
@SW-User Now that is a good point.
@SW-User I totally agree.
Probably the 1980's. I was just a little girl back then so I don't have as much of a memory of it.
polyandrym66 · 70-79, M
For me (an old hippie), it would be the 60's with all the free love and communal living..

@Celt50 it was a lot of fun. The last decade before everything went to crap with political correctness and trophies for every one and the music was awesome!!!
Celt50 · 51-55, M
@Keepitsimple couldn't agree more music movies and life was amazing back then
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
@Celt50 oh yeah!!! The movies too!!! How can I forget 🤦🏻‍♀️! Some of the best movies came from the 80’s!!!!
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
I'd like to have been a young adult in the 1990s (I was born in 1989). I'd like to have been a nightclub regular in the 1990s when all the classic club anthems came out.
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@HairbrushDiva me too 👍

@Stereoguy Aren't there any in your area?
I would choose the late 80’s or early 90’s and work at one of those startups that are huge corporations now that won’t be acquired anytime soon. My career would’ve been booming and I would have so much more security than I do now. Plus the music back then was awesome!
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@DecafD 80s and 90s music is my fave ever

@SW-User My current age btw
Mindful · 56-60, F
I would have liked being an adult in the 1950’s, America’s age of discovery, romantic renaissance
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@Mindful a woman in that age?
Mindful · 56-60, F
A beautiful woman in that era... was able to and made men stupid? Imagine what an intelligent, creative, beautiful woman could do? @Yulianna
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@Mindful sure, if you have the strength, the determination, then go for it 🤗
The Seventies

@TheSirfurryanimalWales you mean the ewes?
@Yulianna Grrr....😹
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales that doesn't sound like an excited ewe..
Rutterman · 46-50, M
Mid '60s to late '70s. They had the best popular music back then.
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@Rutterman 😁👍 a likely story...

I would not choose anything in the past. It doesn't make any sense to me since all these choices are made based on nostalgia. The past is progressively shittier for the average man/woman and you have no guarantee that you would be in the lucky countries that had it good or even not in the lower classes of those countries that still had it shitty. The present is great enough for me, if time travel was a thing i would only be interested in the future.
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@kayoshin wise
kayoshin · 41-45, M
@Yulianna thank you for that!
novaguy2u · 70-79, M
Would have to be the 80s or early 90s. Fantastic times. Failing that, the Viking era. I reckon I could have been a great beserker!
Not my current age...but if I were in my mid 20's again, I would go back to NY in the mid 1940's and step right into the Jazz scene...

@Stereoguy I'm aware of the hazards. I served in the army , mandatory service and reserves.
I feel that in the 40s , while the cities on my country were being bombed every day , and my fellow Jews were being persecuted and gassed in Europe , signing up would have been the right thing to do.

I used to help put on those illegal raves.

Not sure I'd wanna go back there at this age tho. 😳
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@LegendofPeza Ugh I'm jealous 😩 I was only just born
Ladyred · 46-50, F
Hard toss for me...the medeviel ages..or the 50's both influential periods.
Carazaa · F
I am enjoying working from home so 2020 is ok with me!
Within more modern times? The 50s when you were actually offered jobs instead of having to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
Older times? Medieval England as a monk that gets put to death for heresy. Lol
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@canusernamebemyusername If you don't die of the plague first 😂
Early 80’s. And bring with me any info on the construction and manufacturing of Pentium computer chips, and all information on the locations of gold or money that had been found or recovered from 1980 to the present. I’d find the money, invest in Microsoft and Apple, present them with my “findings” on chip manufacture and then dive head first into all that 80’s excess. And I’d bring an ipad into the past just to screw with everyone’s heads and reverse engineer that sucker too! Yeah no you don’t want me time traveling! 😈
dondon · M
yeah the 90's were cool.
Victorian times might also be funny
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@dondon I love all things Victorian but I'd have to go back as someone rich, don't fancy getting murdered or the diseases of the poor haha
dondon · M
@AliceNoctem Are you hiring any houseboys ?
sassypants · 36-40, F
I'm with you. The 90's would be my choice. It was so fun being a kid then.
AliceNoctem · 31-35, F
@sassypants There was a whole different vibe in the 90s. It felt like there was so much more love about
sassypants · 36-40, F
@AliceNoctem yes there really was. Everyone was so much happier. I regret all of the petty thing that I complained about.
would love to spend time in the 50's with my Grandparents watching my Dad as a child
SW-User
90s were good times for me!

@ destinysfortune

LOL and would you be, as a Viking ??! 🤣
I doubt either of us has lived long enough to go back that far!😄

Though, it appears the O.P intended time travel in its truest sense: travel BEYOND the limits of our personal time line.
Not, simply revisiting moments of our private past.
........😂❤️ either that or go back to Scandinavia the 900's with the Vikings

In her dialogue with respondents, though, the author seems to indicate she's accepting both answers.
Carver · 31-35, F
The '70s, so I could go and meet each of my grandparents while they were all still alive. And because that was a great time for music, lol.
Carazaa · F
@Carver
That was over 40 years ago so why do you have your age at 30?
Carver · 31-35, F
@Carazaa 900's was over a thousand years ago so why does the OP have their age at 30?
Carazaa · F
@Carver 👍 I guess I misunderstood the question thinking “ back” where we have been!
LeeInTheNorthWoods · 70-79, F
1920s Paris.

I’m okay being this age now. I loved being young during the 70s and 80s.
smiler2012 · 56-60
alicetalbot hard to say spoilt for choice
I would just go 2 years back.
