Average Age?

..

looks like under 30 mostly? at least by the few votes you got. I would have leaned the other way.

52 years and, zooming, plodding, skipping forward to the next beginning.

I just thought that an interesting aspect of this space is how we can have 17 year olds debating the nature of existence, etc., with 70+ year olds. On a somewhat equal footing.

I don't know where else in society this is possible.

...

I have several ages:

My chronological age is 47.

My inner age varies between 5 and early 20's.

Sexually my age varies between 16 and early 30's...depending on my mood and the person I'm with.

Spiritually I bounce between childhood and old age....depending on the moment.

Most of the time I feel like I haven't grown up yet....become a real adult...whatever that is LOL.

Yup, a2k the great equalizer!

Let's see. Like some others here, I've got several ages.Hmmmmmmmmm? My inner children? Billy, that little scamp with a slingshot in his back jeans pocket and skinned knees is only eight years old. Little Billie, the cutie, with pigtails, wearing a pink, frilly party dress and patent leather mary janes on her feet and a teddy bear in tow, is only seven.

I feel around 35 most of the time, unless that pesky Ritis boy Arthur shows up. Then I feel the 55 years I've been around. When I'm flirting with friends, I feel like a bright, coquette in my early twenties. :wink: During ceremomies, I feel ageless, I just sense being older than most in attendance. Not better or even better informed, just ageless. When playing with small children, I feel like I'm no more than a year older than they are.

On very rare occassions, I feel Ooooold, like trying to explain that there really were black and white movies. that the first television had a 6' screen and the cabinet dimensions were around 24"x24"x36"high! Times like that make methuselah seem like a kid.

I remember the USAF testing supersonic planes over our homes and not just rattling the windows, but shaking the entire house. I later found that an uncle was on the test team as navigator and steered the flight over our neighborhood purposely! And Sam calls me a brat!

If the saying "Age is a state of mind" is true. I'm living in the state of chaos! Lalalalalalala!

physical age: 14.5
inner age: between 5 and 40, depending.

I can't answer your poll question. It's not put correctly.

My age falls in 2 categories. If I choose one, then I'm partially wrong for not choosing the other.

It should be 10-14; 15-19, 20-24; 25-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-69; 70 and over.

choose the one that's biggest. like, if your twenty, choose '20-25', not '15-20'... why? because unless your birthday was two seconds ago, you ARE a few minutes, days, weeks, months... older then 20. so uh... choose the older one... whee...

I think us "seniors" are the majority on these boards. he he he....

meh. I will jsut have to try and fit in.

I can't believe I'm one of three people under 20 in this forum.

Interesting, thus far 76% are 30+.

Only 13% under 25.

I think it's sad. if more 'young people' were interested int his sort of thing... the world would jsut, in general, be a better place. less ignorance... more self consciousness, and more consciousness of other people.

it would be cool to have a philosopher as president.

I'm this many.

Okay, there's actually someone under 10 who has been here?

tcis,

Your poll bears out what I have heard on the radio news; retired and near retirement folks are the fastest growing population segment using the net. I would happily pay for Billie's Mom's internet service, she will turn 80 on September 9, this year. Mom will talk your ears off, all you need to do is ask.
On my birth Mother's side of the family it was common for people to live into their late 90s. Imagine watching the world change; horses to horsepower, dreams of flight to walking on the Moon, cancer and heart attack as killers now treatable diseases, the list is amazing.
I do agree with you, I wish more young people would participate in this or simular groups. The interchange between generations is broadening for both. The young can learn from the experience of older people. Older people can be revitalized by contact with the young. As long as we maintain mutual respect and keep our minds open, the exchange will work.
