Never. I'm not overly sociable and have never given a shit about that sort of thing. I'm 57 and won't be starting now.

Same. 🙂

If by that you mean a hard partying lifestyle, never. I have never used alcohol or recreational drugs. I loathe wild, noisy parties and can't stand to be around drunk people and people who'll fuck anything with a pulse. Those people are not my tribe.
I can't be the only one in here who feels that way.

15 to 21 I was out of control, drink, drugs...many boyfriends and girlfriends, several of whom overlapped/ran concurrently. Met dh aged 22. He never had a wild phase. Although we had a pretty wild year back packing together aged 25/26. Now "wild" tends to translate as camping with the kids.

Early 20s working as a holiday rep!
And now again at the age of 50, had my first FWB arrangement last year and have been experimenting with relationships and the odd psychedelic experience this year, living my best life tbh Grin

23-25

TammyJones · 12/07/2024 01:37

Early twenties.
But does everyone have them ?
Don't think my sister did.
Met her sensible ( dull) dh at 16.
Now at 60 plus she's got 9 grandchildren and is very happy.

about 16/17 for myself

76, and still waiting!

Isanyonereallyanonymous · 11/07/2024 22:23

About 17-20/21 first time round. Several years of being sensible, but now enjoying life in a way that could probably be deemed wild by some at 34.

windowwisteria · 11/07/2024 22:21

Wild 17-24, when I met my DH. We were pretty wild together for a few years until we had kids in early 30s.

Sadly our relationship is not in the best place these days. Not sure what the future holds but those of you having wild late 40s and beyond, what are you doing?! Tell me! I want to be inspired…(though I also wonder how you’re not always too exhausted to be wild 😂) xxx

16-23/24

DearOccupant · 11/07/2024 22:20

17-28ish, had definitely calmed down by 30. Now 50 and cannot imagine having a wild period around now, way too tired! I have a lot of respect for the middle aged wild things.

Oldfatandfrumpy · 11/07/2024 22:12

Uni, so 18-21

14-27

Best years of my life.

Sunnydiary · 11/07/2024 22:09

27 - 29 were amazing.

Then I went totally insane going through peri menopause so 46 - 48 was crazy.

Nowadays I am a happy homebody.

Metalhead · 11/07/2024 22:07

I’d say roughly 15-28. I feel so old and boring now some days!

Teacherprebaby · 11/07/2024 22:04

Early 30s actually 😬

MadKittenWoman · 11/07/2024 21:47

16-21

Vaguely remember walking down the middle of the road trying to give my friend a piggyback whilst we were both rather worse for wear. Not a pretty sight!!

Not sure I would have the stamina to do that nowadaysWink

IncompleteSenten · 31/10/2023 15:16

Wild days as in drinking, weed and lots of sex - 16 to 24 (met my husband at 24)

Wild days as in ran out of fucks to give and stopped being a people pleasing doormat - that would be right now.

17-19 👀
