This thread is over a year and a half old, so in order to make your data more accurate you should add 1.5 years to that average.

This is not a good thing.

Being young physically and mature (not "old") mentally is much better.  You get a much wider range of women that way.  From twenty-somethings that are tired of "kids" to cougars that can speak to them like an adult but can bang like a twenty-something.  It's really something to explore.

Look at all the young punks here. I used to be a young punk myself. Then suddenly without warning, 20 years disappeared. It happened to me. It'll happen to you!

****, I just calculated and found that the first computer programs I wrote are now 29 years old.


Hey! My IBM 5150 and JUNO-60 are 29 years old.
I'm much younger than them of course. But that's alright.

Celebrated my 28th birthday two weeks ago by ordering a mech NKRO keyboard.
Got my first Cherry 1995, age of 12, with my first PC.
Looking forward to shoot pics of my logitech in the garbage.

Turning 30 in a few weeks here, and I figure it is about time to start looking to get back into mechanical keyboards after a brief hiatus.

I'm surprised people in their 20s and 30's have time to putt around a keyboard forum. My guess is they are all at work and are taking the time from their employers.

I'm an employer putting around this forum taking time away from my employees.

I'm in the 8% group. Can you factor that I only date girls in the 50% and 23% groups? That's got to be worth something in the poll.

Clarification:

Dating 10-15 years younger is a stretch perhaps (I know firsthand)...but 35 years younger? THAT'S an interestingly odd thingy. Such is Hollywood.
