    Hi all,

    I just joined and looking at everybody's ages I feel old as hell (49). That's not the way I feel, however. My two young boys keep me busy. But I wonder, are there any others here in my age category? I'd like to make some friends, but this forum seems oriented to the younger set... If that is the case, can anyone "orient" me to another, more compatible forum?

    Many thanks....E.

    There are plenty of people here in your age category, younger, and older. The particular purpose of this particular forum is to find people that might fit into you age category.

    Hi E.!
    Does 42 count? I also have two younger children...
    I haven't really started writing in this forum, but I would also like to connect to women in their 40's/50's...
    Ladies... where are you? :slight_smile:

    49 as well here (but not a lady). If you just joined, keep in mind the website's been acting up in the last 2 days so overall traffic may not look as representative as it is normally.

    Hi Layladylay

    Welcome to EC, it's a great place for advice, support, and friendship.

    I'm 55 and I don't feel too old, in fact I feel like a teenager again. I initially thought this site was mostly aimed at teenagers / young adults and would have very little to offer me but I was so wrong. I'm a late starter only discovering that I'm gay in my mid 40s and only really accepting it in my early 50s. I have found that even though I'm at the older end of most users on this site I have learned a lot from the younger members who are going through the same voyage of discovery as me.

    So nice to meet y'all (as they say around here) - especially the moms! Wish there was a moms forum so we could talk about mom things.... :slight_smile:. Looking forward to seeing you on the boards!

    I will be 47 in less than a month's time. No children, though...

    Nor do I feel 'old' really. Middle aged, I guess; but who cares?

    I'm also 48 and I have a child who is 21. There are definitely plenty of older people here!
