Austin, TX USA I used to be a big risk-taker when I was younger. I didnt seem to be afraid of anything and did a lot of stupid stuff. But now that I'm older and a parent, I'm much wiser. I only hope I can pass that wisdom on to my son! Tam No. Christopher, 28
San Mateo, CA USA On some things. But as I have aged, I don't feel as impulsive and like things just the way they are. So the need to take risks have diminished. Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA Not really. I'm pretty cautious. Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA I prefer to avoid risks, particularly unnecessary risks. Of course, "Needs must when the devil drives," but I don't enjoy risks. I get my kicks from champagne--which dates me. Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA Not as often as I would like. Christine, 36

Lowell, MA USA I'm not into risks for the sake of risks but if something's important to me I'll push the odds a little bit. Alias Irrelevante Calculated risks, yes... risks to life and limb out of stupidity, no. Doug2, 29

Lowell, MA USA I am definitely not a risk-taker. Never was and never will be. They say that you'll never get anywhere if you don't take some risks. Maybe that's why I'm nowhere. Reba, 50+

Las Vegas, NV USA Most of the time I do not. Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA I don't like to hurt myself, but I'll try anything once. Climb precarious things, walk through dark alleys, steal road signs, eat sea urchin. Why not? I'd really rather die doing any of those things than from cancer (hehe) at 70. Cancer, 20
NYC, NY USA No, I am faced with just some changes in my job and I feel uneasy about it. I always like all my chicks were they always are. KarenNJ, still 25
