I am an Askville refugee and enjoy the QA format of Fluther. However, it seems that the mean age of those on Fluther is a bit younger than on Askville.

So, how old are y’all.

I’ll go first… I have survived 48 trips around the sun.

Let’s just say I was disappointed when my wife said I was a quarter of a century old. It sounded much worse than it actually is.

@Cruiser, My wife did the same thing. However, IMHO, for a 20% discount on darned near anything you can imagine I’ll be happy to let them think I’m over the hill, for I know that the best years are still ahead.

@SundayKittens I just think its the happy medium between shallow youngsters and the computer illiteracy of many more mature people. There are some of us at different ends of the spectrum, but 30s is the peak of the bell curve.

fivety four. This site was created by people recently out of college. It seems to me that it would be natural that young people would speak up more often here. It also seems like it is often a family affair.

My experience of the younger folks is that they are have good analytical and writing skills. They also seem to be pretty willing to speak up for what they believe. Like all ages, some are more secure than others.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the age skews towards the twenties, but there are plenty of people from all ages around here. The most important thing, though, is that they most people here who answer questions can think fairly lucidly.

First of all, I am no Fluther-onion. A name containing the most vile food ever? No thanks. A Flutherite, a Jelly, a Flutherer.. sure, no onion. You are correct, @free_fallin.

To answer the question, I’m 22. I’ll turn 23 in December.
