Average Age of the Planet
 

Since it was mentioned, I have to admit that I am curious what is the average age. In the support group that I'm in, I'm one of 2-3 older guys. The rest range from 16-25 (and boy! makes me feel old!)

So identifiers, just curious as to what is the average age of the community at large.

Well, I am not that young either Linus. :cracked: Selling life insurance now? :pointing: No? :freak: I know, grave sites. :thumbsup:

Love,
Andrew
:superman::rofl::cigar:

Is it OK that we are older? Would younger people feel more welcome if those of us who are older were not here?

LOL.. ya.. that might work. ;)

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.

:2cents:

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

:) I am a 16 year old boy in my head a lot of the time :)

*grin*

So it seems that so far, we are outnumbering the younguns.
Can we flip our depends at them?
lol ... just kidding ... I am not quite there .... yet..... oy.

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

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.
:hangloose:

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 want ur lil picture thingamijigster :)
@ msLinus

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.

:heartbeat:


*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*

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!!

which picture thingamijigster?? :eyebrow:

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...

Smiles :frog:

The planet is 4.6 billion years old, give or take ;)

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

I suppose I should have referenced the thread (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...read.php?t=365) and someone had said that the Online B-F community was a lot older, hence the desire to hold on to the older terms of Butch and Femme.

MsDemeanor: Smart ass! :p (although better than being a dumb one eh? :cheesy: )

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

I can honestly say I like my age, 32, right now, I don't think I will mind turning 40 is say 8 years.

But I won't ever become a Manther (male version of a cougar)

:groupphoto:


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 :D

*Bumping* because I'd like to see more data.

Still Curious
 

*Bumping* again...('tis confidential, you know)

:cluck: <--- Side note: I really dig this chicken.

Looks like a Bell Curve. :)
