Is it normal to only like even numbers?

I hate odd numbers especially double odd numbers eg teens, thirties, seventies. Numbers divisible by 5 are ok though.

Sorry about the really long name @DoubleNegativePanda...

It's the tenth letter.

DoubleNegativePanda · 09/11/2018 20:07

Actually I agree, 5s are ok even if they are odd numbers. Because they're the cornerstone of all the big even numbers. They're like an even-odd number.

LoveWasAccidental · 09/11/2018 20:07

49 is one of the best numbers ever. Me and my kids often argue about this topic op so I'm totally with you.

I had odd numbers... not looking forward to year 2019 either!

EmmaGellerGreen · 09/11/2018 20:09

Even or divisible by 5. Can’t be doing with tv or other volume on odd numbers.

DoubleNegativePanda · 09/11/2018 20:09

I don't mind the tenth letter, probably because my last name starts with it. Plus it's a bit roundy and can be made to do pretty swoops and loops if necessary in a signature. I hate the lowercase one though with it's stupid little tittle. Like a rude y or something.

I am exactly the same, I love even numbers. I am delighted that all of my children have birth dates with even numbers as the day, month and year. I can’t explain why odd numbers bother me, I’ve just never liked them.

sluj · 09/11/2018 20:09

I really like this thread. I like evens too and also find the odds to be spikey somehow. I also like 12 and it figures heavily in my birthday Smile

crimsonlake · 09/11/2018 20:10

I only like even numbers also, I recently moved house and the number is always important to me. Mine is made of 3 numbers which I was not happy about, but when I added them all up together it made 12 so all is ok,

Biancadelriosback · 09/11/2018 20:23

Hate odd numbers. 18 is the best.

Hate some letters, J is the best letter.

Hate all words that are brown or grey but I love yellow words and hot orange words.... Brains are weird!

gobbin · 09/11/2018 20:33

I love 3, closely followed by 8.
Like 33 so much it’s part of my personal car number playe 😂
The number 5 is my most hated number,

PhilomenaButterfly · 09/11/2018 20:35

DD 11 prefers odd because there's a middle to it. It's symmetrical.

DoubleNegativePanda · 09/11/2018 20:37

Interesting. Regarding the tenth letter we've got @TheIncredibleBookEatingManchot saying it's the absolute worst and @Biancadelriosback saying it's the best.

At work we sign off on things with our initials. Mine is all nice even letters but my closest coworker's is "rmg" and it makes my spine itch.

MissLadyM · 09/11/2018 20:41

I only like odd ones! Especially with a 3 in it!

TooOooOnaStubbs · 09/11/2018 20:44

It's not odd.

SpottingTheZebras · 09/11/2018 20:45

I have found my people! Grin

Theyprobablywill · 09/11/2018 20:47

I prefer even numbers, not keen odd numbers except 9, and all numbers divisible by 9.
12 is my best number, If was in charge of the world every one would count in units of 12.

brieandcrackers · 09/11/2018 20:49

I'm exactly the same - everything has to be even or divisible by 5 or else I can't relax!

JaretsGirlfren · 09/11/2018 20:53

Only adding to this thread to give it an even number of replies! Grin

Snowscreen · 09/11/2018 20:54

For the love of numbers god, please get this to page 5.

Pronto (good word)

Nutkins24 · 09/11/2018 20:58

I like even numbers too. I’ve never thought about the fact that other people might have this ‘thing’.

purplepandas · 09/11/2018 20:58

Evens all the way for me. I don't like odd numbers. i will be happier being 42 than my current 41.

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 09/11/2018 20:59

The only odd number I like is 9. But that is because it’s an upside down 6 and fits with it like ying to yang.

The even number I dislike the most is 10 because it’s an imposter. Everything should be base 12 and 10 shouldn’t even exist as a double digited number.

LynetteScavo · 09/11/2018 21:01

I prefer even numbers, except 21. I bloody love number 21.

RaininSummer · 09/11/2018 21:45

I get this bit. I didn't like being 53 at all. 55 is OK, 56 will be good but not dancing 57.
