.. and who would provide the wisdom, the history, the target for all the old people jokes?

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

The results look like a pretty standard bell curve, which I would think is the norm for an online site like this.

Well crap! I was all excited thinking this was a thread about the age of the planet... earth! I was all ready to have a scientific convo.... sigh

You're right, very much a standard bell curve, and that does make sense.

I'm 53 with an 8 year old son. I party hardy in Disneyland twice a year and love kiddie movies. My spouse and I leave our "FUDDY DUDDIES" at home so that our son has two age appropriate playmates. I love my current age. There is not one day of my life that I would give up to relive another. The good was great and the bad was terrible. All of my same age friends agree, that none of us came into ourselves and realized ourselves until our 40's. Since then, it's been wonderful! Old age ain't for the meek and if I were all of you younguns, I'd start jogging now so that old age can never catch up with you!

I dont know but if it were just old farts..... on this site it woould be awful boring......and not very diverse. Of course if was just younguns..... ya'all sure would miss me and all the other old farts and Depends crowd!

I like hanging with the young guys...and sure would miss them if they were not here!

I like the diversity, now if you can just add some kwanzaa smilies and tibet flag and maybe a few holidays that are not " judeo christian" and flags of various countries in Africa,South America, and puerto rico, Haiti, Dominican Republic, we would have diverse smilies as well

I truly enjoy being in my mid-40s. I can't imagine returning to a previous age.

One thing I enjoy so much about my job is that I experience diversity in every aspect: age, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, personality, etc.

So many things color my world and help me grow in becoming a more accepting and loving person.

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
