I'm 43 and it's not happened yet either! I'm intrigued as to what exactly people did during these "wild years", I mean I once woke up after a night out to find a roadworks sign in my room with no recollection of where it came from. I felt thoroughly ashamed and have never done anything like that since but to the people saying that had years and years of wild times, what did you get up to so I can live vicariously??

I don't understand what people mean when they say 'wild'.

Wild compared to what, or who?

Teetotal nuns?

Motley Crue?

Definitely 14-18 but then I had a bit of a wild spell around 30-35. My DC say I was definitely wild when they hear the stories. Still a bit wild when I can break out but it’s getting harder.

JustKen · 31/10/2023 08:31

I'm yet to have mine. I'm very shy & socially awkward. There's still time though. I'm mid-40s.

15-27. I absolutely caned it during those years and lived my life in sweaty nightclubs. Then, something happened when I got to 30 ish, that scene just got really tired, superficial and tedious. Now, I prefer being by beach or in fields, just seems much less pressured and more calming. Clubbing was always this rollercoaster of highs and lows but now my life is much more on an even keel and I far prefer it.

NoraLuka · 31/10/2023 08:22

I’m 41 and I haven’t had mine yet. Very occasionally I go for an adventure when I’m supposed to be WFH but I’m always back in time to cook the tea 😁

I'm 32 now and no longer drink so I can't imagine having a wild resurgence in later life

dicedicebaby · 31/10/2023 08:18

Still waiting.

CobwebsAndCauldrons · 31/10/2023 08:18

My wildest days were 15-20 (ish) with some less frequent wildness happening until I was about 25.
