How old are TubeNet users?

trseaman · Post by **trseaman** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 12:27 pm

Just wondering the ages of the TubeNet users. The ages overlap so hopefully everyone will find their place. Please be honest and truthful in your choice. This might make for a good sticky post...

Cheers

Haven't you heard? 50 is the new 40, at least that's what Parade magazine says.

OK, I answered truthfully, but I don't think of over 40 as "over the hill."

I hope 40+(X) isn't really over the hill!

Beats being under the hill any day.

Why do you have a 65 + on one end of the scale but nothing under 9?

I'm suing for AGE DISCRIMINATION!

I'm glad to have "the hill" behind me!

Okay, relax people! I knew there would be some comments about my designations and maybe the 40 - 55 range should have been called "middle age" (I can't change the poll now). In a literal sense, men are only living to be around 80 yrs old... Hense anyone over 40 would be considered over the mid-life hump. Don't take it personal, it's only a poll...

No, I'm not looking for serious data, this is for fun... For example, I was 17 when I graduated high school. There has to be some flexibility to compensate for different situations. This is not a scientific study by any means. I'll be 40yrs old next year and it's hard to think that I'm half way thru my life.

This poll is not labeling anyone and should not be taken serious.

Lighten up.... If you don't like the poll, then don't play along...

55 - 65 years old (Hope I can make it to retirement with my sanity)
65+ years (Man, do I have to pee...)

I am a fine combination of all these LV. I left out the 18-25 because I really don't know everything, or anything about the tuba.

I do, however, know everything about college football and how to make a shoe smell.

The "overlap" would only occur on your birthday. I suppose if you are answering the poll on your birthday, you could answer based on the time you were born!

Let's see, I was born Jan 21, 1966 at 9:18 am. So prior to 9:18 I was in the group 25 to 40. After 9:18 I was in the group 40 to 55.

...but now I can afford the insurance to behave as I did when I was younger.

I didn't see one serious comment ... up to the point when you posted this.

Oh, you've met "the boy wonder"?

Is he getting any easier to get along with? (I can hope)

At 64, definitely old enough to know better but still too young to resist.

Have you heard? They're doing the dog year thing in reverse. You figure seven of your years for one reverse dog year. I am 48. I turn 49 this year. So in reverse dog years that's 7. It really benefits us middle aged guys. See, my girlfriend is 28. That's 20 years younger than I am. She was born two years after my high school graduation. But with reverse dog years, I am 7 and she is 4. Considering that my ex-wife was five years younger than I (in real years), three years' difference in age doesn't sound so bad!

One way for sure to tell if your dinner date is a real dog.
When the waiter arrives at your table with your food, he sets hers on the floor.
