Judging by the introductions so far, it appears that we have a pretty young crowd here. Most in their 20's?

Me thinks I'm probably the oldest one here at 45. (But I'm young at heart...and my kid's friends have always said I'm "the cool mom"

cuz I'm online all day and night, chatting with friends and posting to forums.)

How old is everyone else?

Dave Kaminski · 11-03-2006, 12:53 PM

Haha I can already tell my boards are going to have some deep conversations .::read-sarcasm::
You're right about the age being around twenty so far. I'm 19 and I've seen a lot of people are the same range-ish.

Patricia · 11-03-2006, 12:59 PM

I'm 34.

drgrudge · 11-03-2006, 01:18 PM

I'm 22 now.

I feel that this board will have a "diverse" members once it's officially launched.

Sadhana · 11-03-2006, 01:37 PM

20. And here's some fillter because vBulletin's complaining about how I haven't said enough.

Savage · 11-03-2006, 01:38 PM

I'd expect most of the audience will be in their 20s and 30s, with more 20s than 30s; most mods fall into that range too. That age range has been typical of the blog audience, although there are plenty of senior readers too. I think the younger crowd is the age group that's most interested in reading blogs. It's also an age range where people begin getting interested in personal development.

I'm 35, which is actually pretty young to working in this field. Most of the popular writers and speakers in the field are in their 50s and beyond.

Chris · 11-03-2006, 01:47 PM

I'm 23 (24 in a few weeks)

You're only 35! Gosh that's a very young age to gain such exposure and to be so widely-known as an authority in this field. Now that I know your age, I've more respect for you ha!

Well, I have 4 more years to go. Hopefully when I'm 35 (I'm 31 this year), I'll have touched many more lives and helped them in their love, relationships and marriage.

Cheers,

Wow I suppose I am one of the older ones. I am 26. But that is just my physical age, not the mental age.

JohnnyJimJams · 11-03-2006, 08:49 PM

31 years young.

Mentally and spiritually I'm running at about 15 though

ahhh, but my wisdom is that of an ancient ninja master.

Johnny

pylonian · 11-03-2006, 09:36 PM

Wow! When I started using computers back when BBSes ruled the world (or, at least, Phoenix) I was something like 15 and always the youngest online. Now I feel like an old-timer at 30! I'm going to have to go think about that...

Eric

Jamie Wilson · 11-03-2006, 08:10 PM

Now I feel old, I'm 25 and for some reason I thought I'd be one of the youngest... ah, how much farther along I'd be if I had been interested in this when I was 19 instead of playing snood in my dorm room...

I was quite suprised to read how many people around my age were on these forums; you wouldn't catch most of the people I know from university here!

Gabriel.B · 11-04-2006, 11:57 AM

Wow, I'm suprised at how many young people there are, awesome! Me be 20

Phil Newton · 11-04-2006, 12:08 PM

Still only a baby at 24.

kthdsn · 11-04-2006, 12:35 PM

I'm 23, but it's just a number really, isn't it?

Thomas Kosowski · 11-04-2006, 12:36 PM

Hi everybody. I'm 27, and I hope it won't change for next years

Maciek · 11-04-2006, 12:52 PM

zpivat · 11-04-2006, 12:59 PM

The Universal Call · 11-04-2006, 01:00 PM

I'm 17 years old, since 1 month ago. It's good to know I'm not the only one in the younger crowd, which I almost had expected to be at first.
