I think it's ok. The younger guys have mentioned that they like to hear my side of things because it gives them an insight into what might be (good or bad). I don't any age is a bad thing; it's just a different thing and a different perspective. Being open to that perspective is important and closing your mind to it, IMO, isn't helpful for anyone. We all have a need to be heard and actively listened to on both sides of the coin of respect.

I think age is just a state of mind. If you really think about it. We can all learn something from each other, only if we are open to it. If not, then we miss out on alot.

Love,
Andrew

WELL! The "youngin's" have a life!! AND, they are still gettin' laid! (Just kidding to some of you married and involved folks!)

OK, I may have "revealed" something here about myself, huh?!

Really, "we are some of the ones who paved the way" for what/HOW it is today. Whether or not young kids and/or young adults grow to learn and appreciate that in history or as part of the "process" to continue on - or not, remains up to them... and I HOPE they continue on to be radical for our cause(s). I will be, until I can no longer breathe! (But, I respect ALL ways of "contributing". It doesn't just have to be marching on the streets, etc...)

I'm OK, in fact... GOOD with all of that/this! I'm just so proud of our history and any part that I was fortunate to experience! Existing HERE (at this site), in fact - is "something" special in history and time!

(And I may or may not still get lucky now and then at age "fiddy-somethin'"... out here in the woods!)
____

Seriously, my best "female" friend died at the age of 98. I learned SO MUCH from her. And her gone from this physical plane has left SUCH A HUGE WIDE OPEN VOID IN ME!!!!!

SHE SAID TO ME:

I will always be alright, as long as I remain "teachable". I will never forget her, nor that advice.

*Hugs and kisses my sister Virgo! I love you and miss you terribly.

45 and proud *smiles* .... I love being older ... and cannot wait to actually get older. Life is just better served when older *grins*

JustLovelyJenn · 11-24-2009, 03:24 AM

I like the age range here. I don't often get along well with people in my own age range and tend to, instead, have a good number of friends who are older than me. Most of the time I just forget about age, I don't even remember to ask anymore, cause I don't care. If you make me smile and we have something to talk about. BRING IT ON!!

State of mind for me

tazz · 08-31-2012, 02:42 PM

i was 22 when i came out, 35 or 36 when i joined the site, and now i'm 46.

so much has changed with the site and ME! i Was a femme at first, but over the years i have evolved so much into the Athlete/Androgynous spectrum of life. Living, Loving, and Learning every moment of it!!

i've met some peeps, been involved with some peeps, yeah... life is good

WintergreenGem · 09-01-2012, 10:07 PM

So the average age for this site is between 40 and 49. That means if I am ever single again I will have to snag a younger butch. *wink*

Our household has an "age difference r us" thingie going on, so I don't tend to think about it that often. I don't have much contact with twenty-somethings though. I kinda miss that in my life.

hottprof · 11-24-2009, 09:39 AM

so I guess I am one of 8 or so "youngin's on this site" not too shabby... I am movin' my way up the ladder...

The older I get, the more I learn, the more I can share with the younger generation.

I think it is actually a really awesome idea. There are a few gay/lesbian communities out there, and people are flocking to them. They are expensive, though.

Someone who is good at creating that kind of thing should do it. If it was in a half decent location I would seriously relocate (a 55+ type community).
