What age group are you in?

[Dougella]

There's been talk of whether SAUK is full of youngsters or full of fossils, let's do a poll and see.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

before the answer comes in, I would like to suggest it might be an average of 35-38.

[Your Mum]

40.

I was a teenager the first time I viewed SA-UK.

[T]

I'm in my 40's

Looks like you may be right, but the fourties group isn't far behind.

[newbs16]

I wish I was still 30 and I'm not yet 40 years old.

Can we agree that 50 is actually really late forties?

[Jen.]

31.

The poll seems to be what I was expecting, it always felt like the average age was probably late 30s/early 40s.

Yes

[Mr. Nobody]

I'm knocking on a bit now, unfortunately
I first came here in my 40's *muses nostalgically, then weeps*

[Dougella]

^ Funnily enough I had assumed you were in your 20's! So you must have a young energy

^ Now, just because I sound like an old fogey from my posts doesn't mean I'm quite that age yet. I was born in the 80's

[Ronnie_Pickering]

the best people were born in the 80s.

[anewyear]

Can we agree that the early 70's is actually the mid 80's?

[Consolida]

It's nice to know I'm not the only one here in my age group

(Who's the other 20 something though? )

as Vic & Bob would say of George Daws "he's a baby, he's a baby!"

I'm 36, nearly 37 so I fit snuggly in the middle of that group.

[Consolida]

I wonder why the number of SA members using this forum dramatically drop once they reach their 50's. Is it because those people found a magical cure when they hit 50 or have they just grown bored with the place? Where do they all disappear to and what are they doing

[Mellie]

I'm 34.

[humphrey]

I'm just 55, been here since my 30's.

[Mr. Nobody]

^^^

I think there's probably only ever been a few of the 50 year old's on here,
Or possibly 40's moving into 50's bracket,
I don't think many older people are leaving, more like younger people leaving,?
Most of the people I'm aware of who have left are younger, in their 30's
I could be wrong tho' but I'm thinking that older people tend to be a bit more set in their ways?
Whereas younger people will be a bit more prone to change and move about a bit more on social media?

I can only think of a few older people who no longer post,
But can think of a lot more younger people who have effectively left.

[Consolida]

^ Thank you for responding Mr Nobody

I guess I was trying to say, where are all the 30 something folk that were posting here when I was also a 30 something? Why am I still here festering away and most of them have long gone

[Dougella]

^ Since the biggest group at the moment is the fourties it does seem like a lot of people have stayed around past there 30s.

[Dougella]

Five people in their fifties here , more than I thought.

ahh, I must admit I was only aware of a couple of older people who left,
Firemonkey
Gregarious Introvert
Winnie
Benfica
Alien Buddha
I Love My Cats

maybe there was more older people I wasn't aware of?

if it's any consolation I'm in the same predicament as yourself

[Dougella]

^ Do you remember Hardy or Ajax Amsterdam?

[Dougella]

^ Many people from here have found partners in their 30s, 40s and 50s though and lots of people have improved their SA and/or their mental health at those ages.
