Does age difference on Here, bother you? =)

I dont care about age, i have from 18-47? I think on my page. As long as they aren't immature and are motivated to do this, I dont care your age.

Side note: I am 27.

There are a ton of people on here around our age

I mind what age people are

i like my boys young.


as for girls - only those older than me are my friends. and i have to be prettier.

Age is a number. I don't look my age, and I damned sure don't act like it.

It doesn't matter to me. Support is support, no matter what age. Off of MFP, my friends are of all different ages and it translates to on the site as well. I'm 30, but out of my friends off of MFP I'm one of a few who aren't married or have kids or both. In some ways, my challenges are different than a 30-yr-old who is married and has kids, but our bodies are in that same age bracket and we might have similar struggles anyway. So I don't think it matters. As long as you're a good person and up for giving/receiving support, you're worth friending on here! So friend away if you'd like.

Nope, age is fairly low down on the list for me. I look for people with similar goals firstly (people who eat properly and exercise a lot), then perhaps people at a similar point in their fitness plan, and then location (although not essential I do like to look at people's food diaries for ideas).

I am over twice your age, but most of my fat is about the same age as you. So that works.

My peeps here span many age groups, geographical locations, political and religious alignments, etc. and I love it that way. While I often feel like the "old lady" in the group, it's fun and interesting to see things from so many perspectives.

I'm 18, but I notice I tend to talk more to older people (24-40).
So... Age doesn't bother me, personally.

Older people is 24-40? Where's my Geritol....

It shouldn't matter. No one has all the right answers, or is THE Guru of health. Perspectives from all walks are welcome.

ahaha i thought this was funny.

but for me i don't mind what age people are, when they're closer to my age i feel i can relate more to them more, but in general it doesn't matter because we're all just here to motivate and help each other out

Age doesn't bother me. I know a lot of people younger or older than me here on mfp, and real life.

I do kinda have a thing though, I'm 40 and the last 4 years trying to have a baby. I've gone through a lot in the last 4 years and 5 miscarries. So age does get to me when I see a twentysomething saying something or complain about trying to have a baby and yet has no idea whats its like for older women have issues of fertiltiy but then not a lot of people know what's really going on. For that reason my fertility friends are closer to my age for me, a better connection.

Support from all people regardless of age is wonderful!!

I don't seem to have any friends over the age of 58. Doesn't bother me if someone is older than that, just haven't had them send a request (nor have I seen them be awesome and sent my own).

I wonder how many 60+ folks are on here though?

Most of my pals are between 25-40, just like me.

You'd be surprised at the amount of older fitness "pals" on this site. I am one of them, at age 57. For all of our younger fitness pals, never take your youth for granted. Take advantage of your energy and strength while you have it to push yourself forward. Now that I'm 57 1/2 years old, I wish I would have started this journey 10 years ago. I used all the excuses I could back then, particularly that of an exhausted, overworked, single, working, mother of two extremely rambunctious boys. I never took the time to take care of myself. Now that I am an empty nester, there are no excuses. It is truly harder to lose weight after menopause. I've lost 40 pounds since July 24, 2011 an eight-month process. When I was 17, I lost 115 pounds in that same amount of time!

Please remember this: Always take time to care for yourself. I've been fat, thin and all sizes in between. At 5'3", my happiest times were when I weighed 125 pounds. I wish I could have had this tool (myfitnesspal.com) when I was younger. I would like to think that maybe I would have read some helpful advice to get me through those times when I gave up on myself.

Young people make me feel young: Yesterday, I spent two hours listening to various music with my 18-year-old son. I learned about ska music and he listened to some of my favorite Santana tunes. (I still have my album of Black Magic Woman, purchased when it first came out!) I get much inspiration from people my age as well as those who are older. I'm appreciative of my excellent health, grateful that I can continue on this journey to becoming a better me.

We fitness pals have common goals and it's wonderful that we are able to interact, to share . . . our journeys, our dreams. :flowerforyou:

I have MFP friends aged 18 to 60+. Age makes no difference to me. All of MFP friends have the same goals in mind so we seem to fit well together. I do find however that I communicate more with the ones closest to my age.

I guess it's finding people with similar fitness goals and who are easy to relate to. I read my feeds regularly and enjoy the postings and goings on of people on my friend's list, who seem to be similar in age to me, but also similar in outlook, sense of humor, interests, etc. Besides I don't feel 40, and I prolly don't act it, so I'm pretty open to any age group.
