I can honestly say by being one of the "youngins" cringe..... that I wouldn't be here if everyone was younger.... Wouldn't be the same atmosphere....

And I feel the same in reverse.
We all need each other to feed off of and learn from.
It's what we need for consciousness expansion.

I had to be forced into 50 kicking and screaming but now that I've arrived it's ok and I don't mind owning it.

The next poll should be How old do you feel. Of course if the mental pause monster is around some might have to wait a day or too to take the poll.
Just sayin. lol

I am going to have to agree with you... Although sometimes it can be frustrating to be part of the younger crowd, I enjoy having people that are older than I am around to look up to and hear how they have experienced things IMO that is

I think that the only way that younger people would feel unwelcome would be if the older people were giant asshats about the younger people. I haven't seen any of it here, but I remember on the dash site I saw quite a bit of ageism toward the younger folks. I'm 32 now, but was in my early/mid-20s when I first started hanging out at the dash site, and there were quite a few people who were gigantic asshats to me and said some really shitty things regarding my age (or lack of age, or whatever).

Those people stopped giving me the business eventually, whether because I'd been around long enough that they got over it or because I got older and ergo more acceptable to them - but I haven't forgotten who they are. Believe me. (Ask me about my grudge-holding abilities!)

Frankly, the only queer space that I've ever experienced/been witness to shitty attitudes toward younger folk has been within our community (both irl and online). I don't know what that's all about.

I like most of the older people on here. I have been on BF since I was 18(I started on the dash site). Back then there was almost no one my age. I am still here at 22. I feel I socialize better with older people because they are more mature.

The only thing that upsets me is when I get discounted because of my age. I know I don't have as much wisdom as others but that does not mean I am stupid or immature. People who underestimate me because of their age are proving to me they are immature and judgmental.

wow...I'm kind pf a dork...I thought this thread was about the age of the earth debate!

I'm very surprised by the age range here, but it's a good kind of surprise. Let the passing of wisdom continue!

It sure is different being refered to as an older person by the younger generation, but I think back through the years and it is a blessing, my 1st friend passed when she was 17,,I was 15, many years have gone by and alot of life,,Im thankful for what I have had,,even if my hair is gray and I dont move as fast as I used to, and actually check out scooters when I go to Disneyland !
