I don't know if anyone has done this before...

It's always funny to see how old people are in forums. These days, it seems like the mods are younger than me. So it's funny. And humiliating when you get pwned by someone a good seven years younger than you.

So...anyone willing to share?

Fixed that for you.

Though I can't say I can really identify with my monikers: I’ve been legally allowed to drink since I was 15 (18 in bars), but I never have. And like most other people, I started watching porn at about 11.

So I’m just 24.

[MacosNerd]

I'm in the last category and that's as far as I'll go

[brokenjago]

20.

[Jawbone54]

24, but I feel more like...

(Back's starting to hurt in the morning)

than the others.

I think there should have been options for 30-35, 35-40, etc., as well. It seems kind of unfair to clump someone who is 31 with someone who is 48. I could see 45-older, considering there probably aren't a TON who are over 45 here.

Funny that you wrote "25-30 (Back's starting to hurt in the morning)" since this is my first day back at work since last week because I slept strangely and put out my neck.

[residentEvil]

Sure it is. It's roughly the age where you officially start dying. Your body is now producing less amino acids and chemicals to keep your body growing. Life is terminal, it's all down hill from there.

No no no no no no no NO!!!!

Why have such demeaning stereotypes in your poll. "Still babysitting for cash" on 13-15? and "yarrr I can drive" on 16-20?

You know, some 13 to 15 year olds DON'T babysit for cash. Some 13-15 year olds are in ****ing college, making a life for themselves.

Why feed your **** to the lowest common denominator???

[Wiskedjak]

I be old?

[voiceofra]

Yea, 30+ isn't old! Though I can say that when I was in my teens, sure it was old. But now...

[Doofy]

I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in yadda yadda yadda...

[alligator]

What? No categories over 30? Is everyone over 30 considered "old"?

[sknapp351]

Crap. I'll be in the old category real soon.

You need to relax. It's a poll on a forum. If 30 can be old, 13 can be babysitters.

Everything will be ok, really.

[turtle777]

Old enough, thanks.

You managed to make this poll both age-centric and America-centric at the same time. Good for you.

45. Feel 31. Act 29.

[OldManMac]

I'm so old I don't buy green bananas any more. I was around before the Dead Sea was even sick! I sold Noah the lumber for his Ark. Bunch of kids around here; my youngest daughter is 28 and my other daughter is 32!

BTW, I'll be 60 in three weeks.

Guess that answers the question about your age, huh?

You don't have to worry, your age group (10-14) wasn't even included in the poll. Run along now and go play with your G.I. Joes and Barbie dolls.

You may have a decent IQ, but your EQ is very low.

Sorry. I was trying to be semi-creative in a very small window of time. At work. Yes, I got paid to write that poll.

If you mean age-centric in that the poll is about your age, then yeah...that was kind of the point. And I never asked anyone to reveal their ages; just the poll was enough - I was only curious. Next time I will try to make it as international as possible.

Because babysitting and driving are so unbelievably degrading and demeaning to the rest of us whose mommies didn't "unschool" us and tell us we were precious flowers who were better than the rest of civilzation.

[zro]

Sweet! We're winning.

[ghporter]

I prefer to think of "over 30" as "thoroughly experienced."

Seriously, I wouldn't go back to 21 for all the money in the world. (I might make an exception for my knees, but the rest of me will FIRMLY remain "over 30"!)

[Chuckit]

What a surprise, the age range that covers 75% of the human lifespan is winning.

[scottiB]

40. I've been told it's the new 30, but it must be the way math is taught in schools now.

I am a little surprised. I generally expect most people in a forum to be high school or college age. Once you get into Real Life(tm), you generally have better things to do than hang out in a message forum's off-topic lounge.

[macgeek2005]

When people are over 30, they feel like they knew nothing when they were 16. However, why don't people realize that life is an ever continuing cycle of growth? When you're 50, you'll feel like you knew nothing when you were 30. 30 is "Thoroughly experienced" next to being 12, but not next to being 60. It's all relative.

I say to all you "over 30"s out there, beware. Don't fall into the illusion that you've now "reached" an ultimate level of understanding, and that you are "thoroughly experienced". The more you think you know, the less you are open to sometimes beneficial changes.

BINGO!!!!!

Not "what happened," not "where are all the (gender of choice)", just "WTFFFF!!!!!"

I am "college age," (again). It's all relative.

That's an excellent point. One thing I've learned since I turned 30 (quite a while since, in fact) is that I DO NOT know everything. The more I learn, I realize the less I know, and I realize the more there IS to know. One other thing I have learned is that almost nothing is black or white, and that there are about fortyleven bazillion different sides to everything-and I can know AT MOST one of those sides, and probably not that side very well. It's kind of liberating to NOT have to have all the answers, honestly.

[macforray]

Old enough to know better....... but too young to resist.

51 in August.

I DO like Doofy's sig.

Yep. The older I get, the more I realize about how little I know.

One of my favorite discoveries / decisions of being older is the realization that I need not have an opinion about everything; that is, there are whole categories of being that I have no opinion about.

[Chuckit]

The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing. I think Mick Jagger or somebody said that.
