How old are you?

[t0dd]

I'm curious what the age distribution is here. Please indicate which age bracket you fall in. Thanks!

[haele]

1. Old enough to know better -

But young enough to still be fearless - or stupid, depending on your definition.

Guess that makes me immortal.

[LuckyLib]

22. Old enough to know better, but still too young to care.

Great old country song.

[Lars39]

2. Older than my teeth, younger than my hair.

Doing a Jack Benny fer sure. :D

[1Hippiechick]

19. Hey, Lars! I always heard that God created only a few perfect heads; the rest he covered w/hair!

You're just achieving perfection, my friend! :applause:

[Lars39]

20. lol...

I have hair now; I must be in the handbasket for some other reason. :evilgrin: :hi:

[Motown_Johnny]

37. younger than your hair? did you get a transplant from your own father ???

Older than your teeth I can understand but the hair thing has me stumped

[Lars39]

46. I was a bald baby. :^)

My hair didn't start coming in good until I was around 6-7 months. :D

[bananas]

3. You left out 0-9.

[t0dd]

4. Fine.. just in case there are any infants posting here, I updated the first bracket. nt

[ThomWV]

5. Essential to capture the Republicans who visit here

[t0dd]

7. Keep in mind: this is physical age, not mental

;)

[lunatica]

6. Well for once I'm not in the majority

I kinda like that. Younger people rule! I've always known people after my generation are just smarter somehow. Maybe not more knowledgeable of facts, but just smarter about life.

[bemildred]

8. Seven. nt

[t0dd]

10. Impressive! nt.

[bemildred]

13. Just you wait until I grow up! nt

[Staph]

9. Might be interesting...

to repeat this poll during a weekday evening. Perhaps you'll capture a different crowd than the Saturday afternoon bunch.

[t0dd]

14. Yeah, and also.. I think I'll repeat the poll and split the most selected age brackets

from the result of this one (I would have in the first place, but ten choices is the limit when creating a poll).

..That way we can get an even better idea of how age is distributed here.

[armyowalgreens]

11. I'm 19. Normally I wouldn't be up yet on a Saturday.

But I spent all morning volunteering. Now I'm going back to bed.

[TahitiNut]

12. "fall"?? Please, don't say "fall" to an old person.

:dunce:

[benld74]

:hippie:

[Vidar]

25. Fifty-three

[Jennicut]

26. 33. Which means I was a kid in the 80's and had to endure parachute pants.

And other hideous things best forgotten...like jelly shoes.
My brother and I would whip out our parachute pants and break dance on cardboard. Those were the days.

[Odin2005]

34. Jelly shoes? What were those?

Do I want to know? :scared:

[Jennicut]

36. Here ya go.

I had ones just like this when I was about 10, circa 1985.

Plastic shoes. Hurt like hell.

Just be glad you grew up in the 90's, much better time period for fashion.

[Odin2005]

51. OMG, I remember seeing those things when I was little in the early 90s!

I remember telling my mom? "mommy, how can people wear those> They look like they hurt!" :rofl:

[Jennicut]

62. They did. I remember the blisters.Ouch. I thought I was the coolest kid on the block though.

And I wore lots of these after I put on my jelly shoes:

[DesertRat]

27. Someone posts this poll every year

And the baby boomers always have the most votes. :hippie:

[DFW]

Dinosaurs roamed the earth once, too.

[PSzymeczek]

[Odin2005]

32. 23. Born April 28th, 1986.

EDIT: wow, we've got some 81+ folks here! I'll love to hear some Depression stories from you guys! :D

EDIT 2: :wow: at the age distribution! I expected most posters here to be Xers, not Boomers!

[Motown_Johnny]

38. you were born 5 days after I turned 23, on t the 23rd

[Odin2005]

48. Cool!

:)

[DesertRat]

39. There have always been lots of Boomers here

I was 30 when you were born. :hi:

[Jennicut]

41. Boomer are a bigger group then us Gen Xers

Hence we were referred to as the "baby bust".

[Iwillnevergiveup]

42. Hey, we have the same birthday

only you're MUCH younger than me. I a boomer.

[hayu_lol]

43. As of 8:30am PT...

the poll reflects an almost perfect Bell Curve.

Sometimes ya just have to believe in math and science.

[hayu_lol]

44. As of 8:30am PT...

the poll reflects an almost perfect Bell Curve.

Sometimes ya just have to believe in math and science.

[Odin2005]

49. I'm suprised, I thought the top of the curve would be around 40, not in the 50s!

[TheKentuckian]

45. 36 damn it's boomery up in her (nt)

[Forkboy]

[ccharles000]

55. 20

[Juche]

56. People here are older than I thought

Less than 10% are 30 or less. I would've assumed there were more millenials here.

[Odin2005]

60. The high number of Boomers fits with the Ideological Puritanism rampant on DU.

[ThatsMyBarack]

57. 31-40

That's Age Class II in USFS Adult Figure Skating! ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]
