variety of ages of forum members

[Kate!]

was just wondering, being an oldie myself, what the actual age range of members is on here. I love this forum and interacting with members of all ages and backgrounds. Tibb is always lively and fun, although I can't get on as often as I would like as I don't currently have Internet access at home. I like the variety of different forums available and listening to all the different viewpoints, taking part in polls and games etc. The forum does seem to be predominantly made up of teens to twenties, but surely there's also quite a few over thirties, and even forties?!?! I am a single mum, my son is 14, and he keeps me very young at heart.

Would be interested to hear thoughts on this, as members ages are often not apparent.

:hugesmile:

[Niamh.]

I'm 32 :)

[Kate!]

I'm 32 :)

Wouldn't have guessed that Niamh, would have said 25/26 maybe. I am 41.

[Niamh.]

Wouldn't have guessed that Niamh, would have said 25/26 maybe. I am 41.

I just look 25/26 :laugh:

I'm married and I have 2 kids (7 and 11) there is a few members here in their 30's and forties but yeah I think it's mainly teens and 20's

Yeah that was him, he was a good poster actually, think he left after the end of BB though

Edit - actually he might have been posting the other day now that I think about it

[Niamh.]

Yeah that was him, he was a good poster actually, think he left after the end of BB though

Hopefully alot of members will come back for Big Brother again

[MTVN]

Hopefully alot of members will come back for Big Brother again

Yeah I hope so too, would be good to see some of the posters back from BB11

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

[Black Dagger]

I am 16... I however have been mistaken to be a 23,27,32 and 40 year old judging on posts that I make and pictures people have seen... not good.

[lostalex]

OMg this thread is making me remeber that i'm turning 30 next year... errrr... i don't like that
30 just doesn't sound right.

i'm not rich enuf to be 30 yet :( i'm still POOR!

i don't think i'm capable of being a "30-year-old" i can't do it. can someone please direct me to the office where i can get my refund please?

[Niamh.]

i don't think i'm capable of being a "30-year-old" i can't do it. can someone please direct me to the office where i can get my refund please?

haha, I think it was because when you're 30, you're "just 30" but after that you're in your 30's :joker:

I didn't mind turning 30.....wait till 40 creeps up on you, yikes. i hated it. My work colleagues decorated my desk with balloons n banners AND I had a cake.

Oh well...... I am still young at heart.

[lostalex]

i think str8 men have it much easier than gay men/str8 women when it comes to getting older.

OMFG,. i'm gonna be single when i turn 30. I'm going to die alone. :(

It wasn't meant to be depressing, it was a discussion.

And one day you may very well say those words. Age is a state of mind and how you feel.

Don't worry you are not the oldest:hugesmile:I have two boys in their 20's although I'm not going to say my exact age as it isn't relevant and doesn't have any bearing on who I am

[joeysteele]

I'm 19, but I consider age irrelevant, all people have something to say and we can all learn a great deal too from each other.
I am equally at home with kids, my fellow students, all the age ranges of my family and also with people of any age upwards.
People are so interesting no matter what age they are.

lol Joey, only 19, you're one of the wisest people on the forum:hugesmile: I agree we all learn constantly and that should never stop, no matter how old you are. People are just interesting and age doesn't even come into it.

Thanks for your kind words there rhino, one of the wisest,I doubt that very much, I've seen and learned a lot already in life but I can assure you the people around me who know me would say I was anything but wise.I can be seen as a bir of a fuddy duddy but I have my wild side too.:joker:

I guess having 3 much older Brothers,one 10 years older than I am and the others 12 years older and the oldest 14 years older, has made me maybe grow up a little bit more faster in my thinking.

I just love people though and have a great interest in what they say and what makes them feel that way too.

he's not wise,he's patronizing, you know as well as i do that it's easy to say age doesn'rt matter when yur 19!!! he'll be singing a different tune when he's on the cusp of 30.

Can we please stop praising youth?? FFS.

This thread is srsly making me notice my wrists more than ever, the blood vessels really are quite fragile looking.

yes Joey, thats just my point, age doesn't change the person you are, unless people choose to use it as a predjudice against you. I'm not that different from you, I'm guessing in that I'm interested in people and even though I may not agree with their opinions, I understand why they feel that way. I joined tibb just for the BB chat, as I am the only person I know in real life who likes BB, so had nobody to discuss it with. But I have stuck around because I am interested in the topics and members opinions, even though I don't always join in as much as I could. I also never know when to stop talking, as you may have noticed:wink:

Maybe we should flog them all and put them in cages until they're 30, no more than they deserve:puzzled:

:joker::joker:I agree with all you say,also as to never knowing when to stop talking, I get hammered all the time for going on and on,always being told to look at what I say that I write down and learn how to say it in at least 40% of the content less.

So he gets the first few preliminary questions out of the way and then comes "can I ask how old you are?"
