Favorite time period you would like to live in


Medieval times for me

The Wild West and the American 50’s would be my alternate picks.

I would definitely like to visit different periods in history, but I don't think I would want to live during times where diseases couldn't be controlled - like polio, or before blood types were understood. Life was a crap shoot - much more so than now.

Medieval times would be fatal for me then.

Yah, I wouldn't want to live before modern medicine and dentistry, to say nothing of modern personal and public hygiene.

Yes - my husband watches westerns and every time I see women working in long skirts and all of those clothes I just wonder what were they thinking? They had to be gross and disgusting - I think how sweaty I can get working in a pair of shorts and a tank top in the summer. Yuck.

I can't imagine how miserable soldiers were wearing wool uniforms marching in the heat.

Women had shorter lifespans because of dangerous childbirth, too. And they had many more children some of whom died from disease.

Post WWII America. Say a twenty year period from 1946-1966.

Definitely, the Ike years, great music, good movies. good schools, and NO INTERNET.

I'm with you. Medieval for me, minus the lack of insulin and all that.

Signed, million man.

1700's North America.

It's important who exactly you are--somebody who dreams about living in Edwardian England wants to be the Earl, not the scullery maid.

Oh, I don’t know *flutters eyelashes*

Star Trek 23rd century

Ditto.

The future would be cool too. I would want to be in the Alien saga timeline.
