average TFP-er age... curious
 

Hello everyone!

Some days... as i sit and read the board... i see posts such as "i still live with my parents"... or "i can't do such and such because of school"... and i realize how OLD i am! :lol:

well... not really... i DO feel that age is a matter of how you FEEL, and how you ACT... not the number of years you've walked the planet...

but, i have been wondering... what is the average age of the TFP members?

i am currently 36… *gasp*… and Willow is a whopping 49 years old (step back folks, i have a fire extinguisher for that cake) :D

anyone else?

<-- 19 year old.

35 here

19.

34 and kickin'

hmm...still growing older
anyone else?

21

26

Just turned 19

<-- 25.

22.


But I act much younger.

Im pretty glad there are still so many checkboxes beneath the one I just clicked.

27

An old man at 21 ;)

18 baby!

The same.

No surprise on the poll so far...

22 here.

32 and barely breathing.

I'm 32, but people think I'm 22. I guess all those years in college had some kind of positive impact on my youthfulness. I feel like I'm in the prime of my life right now. Seems like I'm reliving the college years I never had. =>

i agree with that statement... like i said... i believe that age is a truly a state of mind... and has very little to do with the number of years you've walked the planet...

the year that i was 29... i was 29 going on 49... life was difficult... everything seems larger than life and i was so TIRED all the time... seven years later and feel younger now then i did then...

though i will say that my body has seemed to get less and less forgiving as the years go by *soft laugh*
... in that regard... youth is definately wasted on the young... *soft laugh*... or at least i wasted mine then...

looking forward to seeing more on the poll... thanks all! :)

49... soon to be 50, and officially "older than dirt"... *broad smile*
gotta love

I'm 29 and Hubby Dei37 just turned 26 last week.

<--- 55 here

There are 5 of us that listed our age at 50+, but for some reason I'm the only one who's posted a comment. I guess I'm supposed to be hiding the fact that I'm older than dirt.

Actually, age doesn't make a lot of difference unless you let it. There are somethings you can't avoid, but brain-lock isn't one of them.

36 and rapidly approaching 37. These results are very much in line with a similar thread on TFP v 3.0.

I agree that age matters sometimes here. A few times I have read a post that mentions an age and suddenly understood other posts by the same member.

21, 22 in a month...

213 people have viewed this poll and only 42 have voted.... Just how difficult is it to click a button!

I see the over 50's are popular. I am year of 1961

37 here. I do feel that participating in a forum like this with a lot of younger members helps me keep a more youthful outlook on life than a lot of my peers. Or maybe I'm just immature.

yep me too
looks like we're some of the youngest here :D

young crowd

38

20 year high school reunion in a couple weeks.
Woo-hoo!:rolleyes:

30

12... oh wait... thats how old i act

im 19....

all the young pups are runnin' the show eh?

Turned 40 a couple weeks ago. Just another birthday. No different than the last. Have no issue with it. Doesn't bother me in the least...

...the Porsche is on order.

i'll be 23 in a fortnight.

22

i noticed that too... hoping that if we keep the poll alive we might get more responses...
though in reality... the people who care enough to take the time to click on the button... are the ones i am interested in anyway... *soft shrug*

thanks to everyone who has posted thus far! :)

19 here... always mistaken for mid 20s though... i look older and tend to act older... eventually ill post pics of myself....

I'm 19.

I'm 23 although I feel like I identify equally with younger and older people. I still laugh at stupid fart jokes, but I also realize that they aren't always appropriate.

22

18 here, although people tell me i look as if im 15... but I actually feel older :confused:

<--- 25

Who are the geniuses that admitted they're under 18... :rolleyes:

44.

Approaching 50 this month. (June) I hope to grow older still.

After spending all day yesterday on my SeaDoo I'm a feeling every year this morning.

I'll turn 41 in August. I kinda figured I'd be one of the oldest in here, but I was rather surprised to see so many, so young. Some of the most insightful comments, I can now see, come from some of the youngest among you. Kinda gives me a little hope for the future...*sniff*

34 here.... finally going to be 35 at the end of the year.

Closing in on 43. :-)

22

I like your out look ~springrain and TheIceMan.

23

24 :)

38 physically, but no one has been able to pin me down mentally.

Throwing in my lot with the grayhairs....I'm 41

Alot of times I feel like I'm 141

A full 2/3's of people here seem to be under 30 !!
As one of the " Old folks " here I've just got one question
is there some sort of pension plan here

27 (almost 28)

I just realized from the results of the poll above that I am no longer in the largest group anymore.

32. I'll be 33 in about six weeks.

Working hard to make sure the next 33 are as flexible and pain-free as the first 33. Wish me luck.

I be 38 almost all year.

wooo 19 here, just like a bunch of you guys. But if your counting birthdays... im 4 and 3/4. But of course I feel older, well ok... Mature, at times. my old high school buddies i relieze are idiots alot, and i get annoyed with them really fast. Tis weird, i allways wondered why people lost contact with hs friends... lol

I'm glad to see a diverse age group, wonder what the "racial breakdown" would be like (90% white geeks? lol j/k) thats allways interesting to me along with ages, and gender (yeah some of your names confuse me... thats when i feel old lol)

21 years today!!!

Kinda sucks that I'm at work now, and will be til around 10 or so tonight. O.K. though, already hit the distributor before work.

21; the thing I wonder is whether there really are more <18 year olds here that don't vote or vote than they really are. Of course, voting is anonymous but, hey, they're used to clicking "over 18" like a million times anyways (I know I did).

Same here. By the way, isn't this a Tim McGraw tune?

good ol' 20.

Closing in on 26 I am.

<------22

31----->Alpha phi


I've had people tell me I look 14 but that's usually when I cut my hair to give myself bangs. hmm I guess it makes a difference. Even alpha phi thinks it makes me look young.
I'm starting to feel old.
I usually want to take a nap in the afternoon and I have a hard time staying up late unless I've napped. I think this is because I have to get up at 5 am almost everyday and I don't go to bed until after Alpha phi goes to work. Leaves me pretty exhausted.

the poll so far is about where i expected it to be...

i'm pleased to see all the diversity as well... makes for a more well rounded point of reference :)

31 here! Wow where does the time go!

I am a ripe old 26 (soon to be 27) I guess I am an old fart around these parts.

I'm 23 - although i feel about 50 lately :S

I remember this thread coming up on the old board, and yet again I am amazed at how many people voted that they were not even 18 yet... (*I am glad that they are honest, but that's about all I'm happy with...*)

22 BTW... :)

Will smash into 43 later this year.

Get off my lawn, you damn kids!

18. I can smoke weed legally here yay

26... going on 27 next month. Getting way too old! :)

24 here, like someone said earlier - it sucks to be not in the largest group anymore - does this mean advertising is going to stop having an efect on me >

"must kill abraham lincoln"

over 35, but I ain't saying by how much...

Please, someone say they're 0!

:p

I'm 18 btw

32 and going strong -- no regrets. I agree with a few other above who stated they feel like they are in their prime -- my feeling is I'm just appraoching mine -- got a little money in my pocket and the freedom to do whatever it is I want -- life at the moment is good! :)

I'm 22 and I already have a few silver strands :hmm:

I'll be 36 on July 6th

i saw 31 slip slowly away this year, but i agree age means nothing if you dont let it.... that is until i finish up my indoor soccer games every tues nite and the aches and pains settle in after the adrenaline wears off. then i have to give some credence to those guys i work with who say that it's gonna catch up with me eventually. until then though...

Got you beat there, dude. I'm 19 (like I said earlier in the thread) and I'm already going gray. :( It's been like this as long as I can remember, too. I've only ever met two people who thought it was cool. The rest of them just thought it was weird.

I'm afraid that by the time I'm 25 I'll be totally gray.

...but at least I won't be bald like my dad. :D

Yeah. I'm an old fart. But it was nice to see i'm not the oldest here. Power to the old people! I'll stay as long as its fun. So far, so good!

Great poll ~springrain...
and what an incredible 36 you are....yummy..sorry still drooling over here.....

I am 37 and I agree my ealier life with my ex-wife and I was an old man..now that she is gone so is the oldness i felt everyday...But alos as you said I can see my body not being as fogiving either...have one real bum ankle that I just cant seem to get feeling better...

oomm

I'm 47. But I feel much younger.

add my right knee to that list... and my lower back... and my vision... and my muscles after a hard workout *laughing softly*...

i dread the day that it ALL starts to head south... *snicker*... i'll be in denial until then...

19 here, still a youngin

28

I got my first strands when I was 16, and thankfully I haven't got any more since then. The few that I have can't really be seen when if I let my hair grow out though...

flattered I am *blushes*
But somehow I think comment was more generalized.
Oh well:~
'Find not what you are looking for, you will.

<----41 however getting younger in mind and spirit, older in body..shoot that reminds me, almost time for a tune-up.

I'm old enough to know better, too young to care.

yeah, that's the standard answer. i'm 23 right now, slowly making my way through adulthood. i guess it really just depends on your state of mind.

wow! 6 little kiddies browsing the board!

23

Zooksport2:
Psstt.. It has been viewed over 200 times. That doesn't mean it's 200 different ppl.. :)

18, and theyve just raised the gambling age on the indian reservations in arizona to 21. Fizuck.

20, I like no longer being in the "teens."

No argument, there, however, that would require those 42 ppl visiting 5 times each to generate those stats. My point was, even if one does not wish to leave a comment, thats cool, but whats wrong with selecting an age group? Its just a bit of fun..... nobody is gonna come knockin at yer door....

I lie abt my age all the time. Sometimes up sometimes down, depends on how you feel. If you promise not to tell, my real age is 48. I think that is the truth.

22, the first in a long unending string of non-event birthdays. Although I am looking forward to 25, when my insurance hits the floor.
