These are the 15 ages at which you peak the most in your life

At 23, you seem quite satisfied with your life: you are most happy with yourself and what you do. Nice then, because that doesn't buy you much at 29.

Oh well, I wholeheartedly wish it to all those youngsters, enjoy it, because indeed, when I think back to it, 23 is a great age.. Little worries on your mind, few obligations, just a bit of studying, a bit of working when you felt like it, a bit of partying, a bit of sleeping in. Especially thinking about yourself. That worked great. Fortunately, there are more ages in your life when you peak. We have something fun to look forward to, right?

Here they come, the 15 tropical years:

• You learn a second language best when you are 7 or 8 years old. After that, it all takes quite a long time to babble a bit of Español or very classic French.
• You have the best chance of having sex for the first time around your 17th, for both men and women.
• Your brain processes everything the fastest when you are 18. Multitasking is still very easy then.
• Men find women in their early twenties the most attractive.
• Your muscles are strongest when you are 25. So if you are (not yet) that, you can plan that marathon nicely in that year.
• At 26, you can best settle down. According to researchers, you would have met enough people in your life to be sure about who you want to have those babies with.
• At 29 (YES), you have the most friends. The most fun social life then. Enjoyyyyy.
• At 35, women on average have the best sex: you know what you want and what you don't.
• As a woman, you get the best salary around your 39th. That's the moment you want to peak in your career. Men, by the way, peak a bit later on the career ladder: when they are 48.
• Most Nobel Prize winners make great discoveries around their forties. So if you haven't worked out your invention of a lifetime yet, don't panic. It could very well be that you need to be forty to break through internationally.
• Men are at their best at 43: only then do they fully mature, so to speak. Eleven years later than women. You need patience for that, yes. But okay.
• You make the biggest decisions in your life when you are 29, 39, or 49. Just before that big milestone comes, that you become a thirty-something, for example. Just before that, you go for a big new step. A change in your life. Turning the tide. Fresh wind in the sails.
• If you are older than 65, you are certainly the most confident about your body. It takes some time, it turns out.
• At 69, we are also quite happy with our lives, it turns out. Still some hope after your 23rd.
• You feel mentally strongest around your 82nd. No more worrying or insecurity: when you are 82, those times have passed. You are then nicely stable.
