Brad age does not determine those things for me, I won't waste my time on earth worrying about my age but rather enjoy my days life is too short to spend it worry about such a silly thing, and age has no bearing on ppl's mentality at all, it comes mainly from life experience and genetics age is just what happens to our bodies wisdom and age have nothing in common...
therefore age will never effect my thinking as you say
plus I see ppl who worry about their age alot and they look so old even when they are not

. You sure read something completely different out of my post than what I intended.

I find it interesting that different sites attract very different demographics. And so do others.

no not really Brad but just that you seem to like to catagorize everything and age is another one you cannot... hehe
but then again I always tend to read you differently
plus I've seen you mention a few times about age and how old you feel, and your not!
age gets brought up alot around the sites that I read, and I just went off track maybe? hehe
sorry

okay so maybe I wanna particially begin an age debate w/ you Brad... hehe
actually the thing is I've been seeing this age thing get brought up around the sites and even Java said at her turning 30 years old she feels old and when your birthday passed Brad you said you felt old, I wonder why at 30 you guys feel old??? that's not good for you guys to feel that way at such a young age, it puzzles me to see quite a few ppl in the skinning community saying they feel so old at only 30
Doreen hands Brad a pamper, go change your diaper froggy... hehe

You're right about the age thing Dor, it really is a state of mind. I find it funny that I meet old people all the time. Quite often I'll be working with some old guy on an ad or aomething and at some point I'll realize (much to my horror) that I'm ten or fifteen years older than the guy I'm talking to.

I did my time as an old guy when I was 7-13 year old... that was enough of that... Bodies are made to wear out, the paint cracks and fades, but the engine inside that runs things never gets old and worn out, unless you turn it off and let it rust.

Well if there was a poll asking what everyone's favorite flavor of icecream was and everyone here answered strawberry while most sites have a totally different answer I'd find that interesting to. I wouldn't get fixated on the fact that people here are >21 mostly as much as the fact that it is different than most sites. THAT is what is interesting.

Experience changes people. I kept a journal from 18 to 21 and I am a much different person today. People do mature in time (most people anyway). I have a hard time believing that most people over 30 think they behave the same as they did when they wre 20. And even if they do believe that, I suspect if they were to be shown themselves back when they were 20 they'd change their minds. That's why I'm glad I kept that journal because I could really see just how much I've changed in my outlook on life.

You are only as old as the woman you feel....
so come here, Doreen...

Did you mean 'particularly', by any chance?....

oh no I think I mean partially but used it in the wrong context

I meant to tell Brad something to the effect that "Part of me wanted to start an debate w/ him & his catagorizing ways!" but I cannot debate w/ that guy he out types me! so he "always" gets the last word! hehe

time is relative...

Doreen's my sister...
that makes her a relative too...
see? any time is the same as any other... anytime...

Doreen...36?...impossible.....[what's your secret?]...

Doreen, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you saying that age is not an issue and that you could hang around 13 year olds all day and actually be interested? Or that 13 year olds could hang around 40 year olds and be fine woith it? Not that any age is better than another, but people to prefer to hang around people of their won age.

My theory:
Skinz.org had an older croud and when Skinz.org closed, a lot of its active members moved their activities here, therefore bringing an older user base to the site. From then on, older people have kept coming here and younger people have been going to the younger sites (DM, DA). It's really just very simple: teen are comfortable around teen, and old farts like us are more comfortable among old farts.

As apposed to three farts for old cheers.
er, nevermind..

TasT thinks wow I don't think my 29 years here were that long....

BTW it's the maturity of the comversations (even the silly ones) that keeps the older crowd here.
