How old are you? (7 Viewers)

[Jayrod]

I'm sure we've done this before, but I'm both too lazy to search and find it more fun to make my own poll.

I was thinking our average age was around 50 but someone else suggested 60 in the comedy "Mt Rushmore" thread.

Curious to know where we stand on the average age of the board.

Any and all schtick in the comments is appreciated but honesty in the pole would be nice.

How old are ye?

someone else suggested

So I'm a someone else?

 

[ChiefD]

Older than all of those you cocky young whippersnapper............

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I think you missed a few options in the poll.....

Just updated. I accidentally hit enter too soon. I blame it on old age.

Yup. Just some random, run of the mill *******.

 

[Zow]

Good poll as I have always assumed I was the youngest "regular" on here but now I'm on the wrong side of 40. Curious to see if I still am.

 

[Zeppelin]

I'm a young 64 so I should put 40-45.

 

[dkp993]

50 in a few months. But not near empty nest as daughter just turned 10. Body is definitely broken though.

I'm an old 51 so I should put 66-70?

 

[CGRdrJoe]

mentally i’m 16, physically i’m 75 and by birth age i’m 49

I was going to post something similar, but my numbers would have been lower, higher, and higher.

Same.

 

[zamboni]

I'm a young 64

So do you still need the FFA, do you still feed the FFA?

My best friend who is my age (47) has a 2 year old unplanned son that was their 4th child.

His next youngest is 16 and my youngest is 15. I'm expecting to be done raising my kids in 5-7 years and he'll be going to grade school choir concerts.

Physically, I still play pickup basketball, but I'm a shell of what I was even 3-4 years ago. Random aches and pains, rashes, toenail fungus, can't lose weight without starving myself, threw my back out and slept on the floor for 3 weeks, etc.

This getting old sucks but it beats the alternative.

And does he have grandkids named Vera, Chuck and Dave?

an old age excuse in a thread about old age. How meta

I think BLOCKED PUNT and Instinctive are younger, given all the TV shows they hadn’t heard of in Scoresman’s countdown thread.

I turned 40 a couple of months ago and have always felt relatively young for this board. Stumbled across it in the early 2000s in high school when I played fantasy football for the first time. It’s kind of incredible how long this place has lasted.

 

[rockaction]

Ollllllllld man here. I’ve got about twenty sentient ones left, God willing.

I would guess @Desert_Power is right around 40 as well

Well now I just feel old.

Yeah, I remember my grandpa telling me when I was a kid, “getting old ain’t for the weak”. Wise wise man.

3 knee surgeries (1 left, 2 right) zapped every once of athleticism I once had. Playing ball isn’t even on the menu anymore, nor is anything involving running. But putting the bare minimum in to my rehabs has also been a massive mistake. My legs are shot, which along with the normal aches and pains of turning 50, has me feeling way older than I should.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

8% on here less than 40 ...holy ****.

We raised you from a pup.

 

[Mister CIA]

59 and I'm probably close to the median. Can't wait for the "How good looking are you" poll!

A couple of weeks into 37 with a 3 year old.

I'm not 50 yet but this will be me. We waited a while before having kids so it'll be a long while before I'm empty nester

This is me as well, just a little farther along. My son was born when I was 40; we are now 54 and 14. I won't be an empty nester until 58 at the earliest.

46-50 but at “close to empty nesting but body is broken”. Neither is true.

We didn’t wait to have kids (27 when the oldest was born) we just didn’t stop (38 when the youngest was born).

This week I’m feeling for my buddy who is also approaching 50 and is spending the next 3 weeks at Airborne School in beautiful fort benning.

Late 30s

Raised by a Pack of wolves but you ‘Guys are cool too.

I'm old enough to be a year older than I thought I was

Just adopted a newborn baby girl

 

[FarFromHome]

Just realized why this forum works so well. Out of the 63 total votes only 1.6% is under 30. Ha ha

You are definitely not. And haven't been for 10+ years.

Is 27 not waiting? Feels like maybe that's heavily culturally dependent.

Everyone I know from college either had their first at like 22/23 or like us early 30s.

 

[FarFromHome]

At 49 and close to empty nesting. The problem is at age 18 and 25 neither child has decided to leave nor has any plans to leave.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Getting old sucks... But everybody's doing it

That's how I found it! I was in middle school and invited to join my dad's work FF league hahahahaha

Yeah, well, I still swing a golf club like I'm the youngest.

Respectfully, why is it their choice?

 

[Instinctive]

My wife says "of course you're the youngest or very close. Almost nobody our age even did internet forums you weirdo."

I guess she's not wrong...

The short answer is you'd have to meet my wonderful wife. Ha ha

It’s relative I guess. IMO “waiting” means you’re in your 30s at least. But we were married for 3 years before she went off the pill. Got pregnant that month.

 

[nirad3]

Not surprisingly, I'm in the most popular group... but although I voted based on the number, I am nowhere near retirement (will probably never happen) and some days I actually feel pretty lifeless.

57 1/2. With any luck I'll be enjoying retirement 5 years from now.

I'd say 15, 45, 57.... Actually think I'm in better shape now than when I was in my 40's.
Cross country skiing in the winter and just got back into bike riding this month.

 

[UncleZen]

I'm old enough to be a year older than I thought I was

I had to do math to figure my age out.

Lol... Yep.

I had a birthday last month. Such that it is, I'd already forgotten I'd turned a year older.
