Average age of members?

[ErinB]

This has been bugging me for the LONGEST time- our adult members, when asked their age, simply reply "old". /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif I'm curious, what is the average COTH age? You don't have to reply if you don't want to, but answer truthfully! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

In other words, you are only as old as you feel!

61-75 (experienced)
76-90 (approaching retirement)

I was really bummed last year when I had to move up to the middle age group in the AA jumpers at Indio.

Sometimes I still feel (and act) like I'm 18. In fact, just the other day, someone told me I sounded like I was 12!!! Telephone solicitors ask if they can speak to my mom or dad.

But it's kind of depressing when they don't ask for ID anymore when you buy alcohol. It doesn't help that Jo always tells me how old I am either! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Oh honey, I can SO feel your pain! That happened a few years ago to me, and it was downright unpleasant.

Almost as unpleasant as that little slap in the face the AHSA, er, USAE gives you when you enter the hallowed grounds of the olders. Remember how your card USED to have your birthdate on it? Then one day you woke up, went to the mailbox like the trusting young person you USED to be? Only to get your card and discover that some twisted evil little 21 year old marketing bimbo, who had obviously decided that you were of a market segment that was not worth marketing to, had designed a card that had NO birthdate, just the words "SENIOR" slapped on it... Yes, that was the icing on the cake as I recall... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

for 10 more months! Seriously, I've never understood the big deal about getting older. You have a birthday each year. So what? The alternative is even less appealling for your family and friends. Sure, you creak a little more, your friends all laugh as you hobble away from the restaurant table, but hey! they're not moving so well either, are they now! So words like "full benefits' become more important, and you find yourself actually paying attention to ads for Depends. Preventions magazine starts looking good too...

I had a friend who turned 40 almost the same time I did my 50, and, watching our reactions, I had the thought that the reason we get so silly about 40 is that when you finally do turn 50, you are REALLY starting to FEEL old and it's too serious to be hysterical about.

32 and still as young as I want to be, but old enough to be taken seriously.

56 here.... I LOVE the reaction of people who find out..... horses keep me young - even if I don't ride them or own them anymore.... it's being with people of all ages, but primarily younger, where age is NOT an issue.

I am riding better than I ever have and am fitter than ever /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif I had my kids at 37 and 40.

He looks older because of his solar sex panels. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Okay, so what is this 'AARP'?

Marianne, 'solar sex panels'? /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Is that like the furnace of love, the windmill of passion, the hydroelectricity of lust? More importantly, where can I buy one? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Doubtlessly, I think women who remain active look far younger than their inactive counterparts.

[dublin]

It stands for the American Association of Retired People, I believe! Very powerful lobby in this country, but no thanks to membership as far as I am concerned... /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Marianne, my hubby is 7 years younger than me, (I'm 48 too) and also has those solar panels!! Maybe we married long lost twins?? /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Okay, at 47 I am almost nine years older than my husband, but I am clueless on the solar sex panels. Please enlighten, it sounds like just the thing for my declining years!

[Sandy M]

I cringed when I got that first AARP invitation (when I was about 47!). On the other hand, I'm now (almost) 57, but people DO tell me that I look younger (you should see the picture in the attic!), so I just try not to even think about it until people raise the question like this! I know my brother looks much younger than he is, so I happily believe those who tell me the same. I feel great and have no major health problems, and have convinced myself that horses/riding is the key to a long and happy life and intend to keep at it as long as I can haul myself onto some sort of equine. *G*

As to AARP, they have a pretty interesting magazine geared to people in their 50s called "My Generation." Lot different than the "Modern Maturity" mag. my mother gets. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

And about looking younger than your age, I think there's a definite genetic component. My mother looks much younger than her age, I've always looked younger than my age, and my brother has too.

Hi, I am new here. First post. I am 57, married to a guy 10 years younger. I found him in Alaska (not a lot of competition) looking for a friend. I introduced him to horses.
I ride an 8-year-old Polish Arab, purchased at 3. He recently bought a 13-year Quarter horse and is taking weekly lessons. Life is good, no time for the AARP. They finally quit sending me stuff. We live in Southern California now.

[Duffy]

I'm 45 /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif and my ex is 39. I thought I'd be able to train him right. Alas, things did not go according to plan. He married another older woman, although not quite as old as moi. I am seeing a man a bit older than me now, which makes him quite a bit older than my ex, which is quite a switch for my children. That said, I will be an extremely content older woman if I look and act even remotely the same as him when I'm his age! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[baymare]

That so many of us have hubbies five or more years younger than we are! Should we start a "cradle-robbers clique"??

Now another good documentary for your education is the defunct show, "State of Grace", available on satellite. Touching, clasy, a morality tale in a thirty minute wrapper.

I will turn 24 a month from yesterday! I'm almost in my mid-20's! *gasp* http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Most of the gals at the barn that I hang out with are in high school, and I get along with them great. Then my trainers are in their 30's, and I love hanging out with them and shooting the shit. My BF is 3 years older than me, and most of the people I work with are late 30's/40's. I guess I can fit in with whatever age group I'm with at the time - although I love being an idiot with the younger gals, so my mental age must still be stuck in the young teens http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I just realized that when I graduated High School, half of the people I ride with were either just being born or not yet a figment of their parents imagination!!!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif :sigh

Goodness I still remember making my dad line up for hours so I could see the big, new hit movie.......GREASE!! I also remember rainbow shirts & baseball shirts with those decals on the front & your name on the back.

I am 22, heading fast towards 23! However, when I substitute teach and the kids ask how old I am, I reply with "How old do I look?"---I have gotten answers ranging from 13 to 30!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

I agree with InWhyCee, a woman who tells her age will tell anything! I'll just say I'm somewhere between voting age and death, though sometimes I feel older than dirt.

Fred! Why did I think you were a guy? From your reply in the Aiden auction and the Private Topic, I just assumed, obviously mistaken. Then again I also thought hobson was male,based on our "political" arguments.

Maybe it's an old age thing? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Well, I'll admit it. I'll be 53 on March 8 (of this year http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif). I seem to have gotten here awfully quickly. Where did all those years go?

[Shay Darra]

Wow! This is great. I feel 5 years younger just reading about all you great "experienced" ladies. I'm 55, hubby is 4 years younger - and I actually think he looks much older (but we won't tell him that.) I just started eventing last year and I'm having the time of my life!

So glad to see that I'm not the Lone Old Mold!

Yippee!!

[talloaks]

Looks like I am the OLD FOSSIL of the BB, how could this happen??? I'm 61 today!! Last I remember I was 21!! Where does the time fly??? http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/sigh.gif Mr talloaks is 5 years older!! But we have 7 horses with 2 foals on the way this year and hope to breed a couple this year also. You are only as old as you feel!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Happy birthday, Talloaks! Don't worry; you have company! When this thread started it was 2002. I've had a birthday since then, so we're the same age. (But I'm STILL mental age 22. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif )

Bwahahahaahaaa. Mr. just_me is 7 years younger than me, and I tell him he looks older all the time. He says that's because he has to live with me. He just doesn't know how lucky he is. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I'm 27. But I have to think about it usually--time goes so quickly I'm never really sure if I'm 23 or 31 or what...

I just checked the poll and the 36-49 age group is winning! Yay! It's nice to have such safety in numbers, but in a year and one month, I'll belong to the next category http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/sigh.gif

I'm 15, I'll be 16 next month. I still feel so young but supposedly I look and act near 18 or 21, I get told I could pass for legal all the time. Four months and I can drive http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I am so excited!

Well, I'm 2 years younger than Heidi, but alas, married to a man almost 7 years my senior. When he croaks, can y'all help me shop for a younger one? I obviously don't know what I'm doing in that department. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

See what happens when we bump old threads? But yes, I am now eighteen years, one month, and 29 days old. Or something like that. Actually, I could be completely wrong. But I'm not no freaking 17! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
