PF News

You're not alone. I'm 18, colonel720 is 17, Amaroq is back now and she's 16...
I actually like being on a site with an older and more mixed age group. You don't get hit on every five minutes. And the conversation is much more fun.

There is a nice range here. I believe the good Reverand is closer to my age than yours.

35- which in most online public forums/chats etc. makes people assume I am a slimeball. God forbid I should say jack to a girl lest I want to chip away for ages at a brick wall of defensiveness. Well, I suppose that its better folk be defensive than gulible... but I wish it wasnt simply based on age. I mean really: I knew as many scumbags at 16 as I do now, perhaps even more... hmmm, this isnt exactly PF NEWS is it? SORRY

Hee hee--you want we should stay on topic?

Rev, no one thinks you're a perve. I am 39 but often I talk to younger people on line. It's just that there are some real predators out there. I tell the kids to be careful too. You just have to make clear where the boundaries are when you can. Kids need good adults in their lives. Unfortunately, this leave them open to abuse by the sickos.

lol,i am 14.i think i must be one of the youngest here . oh well i dnt mind!

actually, i'm just inder half a year away from 17. i know it says 1989 in my profile, and 2006 - 1989 = 17, but i was born halfway into 1989, so i'm actaully 16.

not that it really matters though. i'm just glad i didn't completely miss the '80s

Bev: Oh, I didnt think anyone HERE thought I was a perv, thats one reason I like it here (coz I have you all fooled MUHAHAHAHA)- a good portion of the regulars here have gotten to know me. Moreover I was meaning the random chat forum. Due to my age its just assumed. My only point is that testosterone based predators come in all ages

yes.stereotypes go around and i'm afraid people think like that expecilly if theve heard scary news about it or have over protective parents. unforunatly they think anyone around that age is a perf. bit stupid really.

hey Rev ... you are a youngster compared to me . . I am over 50 . . . and yeah . . it hurts sometimes because I have run across the same thing . . . too many ppl automatically assume I must be some pedo stalker simply because I am not under 25 . . .

One of my friends doesn't tell anyone his age, ever, because he's older than most of the college students he's surrounded by and they get all suspicious and intimidated when they find out that he's more than 10 years older than them.
.... he didn't realize I was under 20 until a couple weeks ago. He was somewhat freaked out by that, because we'd sort of started casually dating.

As a grad student, they gave me an intro math class to teach. I was a bit uncomfortable when some of my students were older than I was. Now I've just gotten used to it, and the older students are usually more dedicated to figuring things out than the ones straight out of high school.

Call me Grandma.
