After reading the question in the spoiler, you have 2 seconds to answer. I don’t need to know your answer (although you may share if you wish), I would just like to know if you were able to do it. Name a celebrity in their twenties that is largely known for his or hers good looks or sexiness. ---

Sorry, I neither know nor care who’s in their 20s. ---

Easy: Miley Cyrus. Liam Hemsworth. Charlotte McKinney. I thought of all 3 of them in less than 2 seconds. ---

I answered Billie Eilish. Then I looked her up and see that she is 18, so not in her 20s. Also, after seeing her picture, I’m not sure if she is even known for being sexy. Is she? Or is she just popular for her voice? No clue. I knew the name at least. Got this one wrong, though. ---

Why should I care about what age people are? They’re younger’n me. ---

Yes, but at my age, it takes me more than 2 seconds to remember my own name. ---

Nope. Even the people I thought were in their 20s are actually now in their early 30s, like Emilia Clarke or Zac Efron. ---

The person I thought of is now 34. But the last time I saw her in a movie she was 25 i think. ---

I thought of Ariana Grande but it took more like 4 seconds. I thought of another person first then realized he is in his 30s. So I guess that’s a nope. ---

My immediate thought was Bella Thorne, but that’s because I’m a Lois McMaster Bujold fan and I find her name hilarious. ---

So a question for the whole Dope?😃 I answered other, because I only thought of Justin Bieber, and I don’t know if he is mostly known for his sexiness. He couldn’t be for his music though, right? ---

Emma Watson, and she just about squeaks in there because she’ll turn 30 this year. Not especially known for being sexy, but definitely known for her looks. ---

> [@SciFiSam](#): > > Emma Watson, and she just about squeaks in there because she’ll turn 30 this year. Not especially known for being sexy, but definitely known for her looks. I thought about that trio (Radclife, Grint, Watson), but took more than two seconds to remember their names. And of course I wasn’t actually certain what age they are. ---

You know, on reflection, the only person of ANY age I can think of who is/was mainly known for their sexiness is Marilyn Monroe. All other pretty/sexy people I know the names of I heard about and think of in other contexts. Like I know Robert Redford is/was considered good looking, but to me he is foremost an actor, not eye candy. ---

The first person I thought of is 36 this year so I was quite a ways off. Oh well, I’m 67 so she can still call me ‘daddy’. 😉 ---

Uhh, I panicked and went with Kendall Jenner. Let’s see…[24 years old](https://www.bing.com/search?q=kendall+jenner+age&form=EDGNTT&qs=TPP&cvid=4adf5953ac6940208f00dfa3f10e2a87&refig=1ac21603653043f6db2f5015c09be33f&cc=US&setlang=en-US&plvar=0&PC=DCTS)…phew! What do I win? ---

Not in 2 seconds. My brain doesn’t work that fast anymore but with a bit more time, yes. So I answered “nope”. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-question-for-people-40-and-up/847893.md?page=2)
