In terms of the ages of people on this board. I know, I know, it's a touchy subject sometimes, and I'm not looking to "out" anyone, lol. But I'm in college (NO, the 35 in my handle is not my age, it was my jersey number when I played basketball, lol), and it just feels like everyone on this board is older than me. I'm in college and I'm having an affair with a man that is ten years (eleven, maybe, actually) older than me and it seems like there really isn't anyone in my age bracket here... maybe I'm imagining things. Is there? Where is everyone in terms of age?

I can't be the oldest! I'm sure there's many who didn't respond that are older then I am....right? This is the 14th year of our A. I'm a 57 year old MM and she is a 68 year old MW. I know, old to most of you but age is just a state of mind. Mostly. Even as old folks we make love two or three times a week and it just gets better! We also get away together for 3 or 4 days about twice a year and then we really go crazy!!

I can definitely sympathize with the older man attraction. That's going to be my downfall one of these days...

Hi azureeyes... I'm half way to being mid 30's ;) 35 in Dec... MM will be 37 the week after me... and DH recently turned 35 a couple of months back.


I haven't yet gone through all the replies... but I think you will find a variety... I know there used to be quite a few 'younger' people... and 'older' ones too... I really don't think of age much here... as with the 'common' situation that we have... age doesn't seem to matter when it comes to support.


luv and hugs

Wow, you guys are great! I know my A probably isn't anywhere near as serious as yours, and sometimes I just can't stand how I'm with this man but I'm not with him--you know what I mean. Never even thought to find a support board like this, but I'm so glad I found you guys.
