This may fall into the realm of "it's none of your business," but I just find it amazing the range of ages this fandom draws. So, I started wondering about the general makeup of this group. If you don't mind sharing, what age range do you fall into? Just curious to know if I'm an old fogey, like I suspect, or not.

Pam posted a similar poll shortly after we opened the new mbs. You can find the results here . It will be interesting to see if the results are different.  Annie

I see I'm the minority, lol, I'm 15 - and yes, I started watching L&C when I was 7 or so. My long lasting obsession. Julie

I belong to the 'young chickadees' too. But, unlike Julie, I started watching L&C when I was 13.

Hrm. I'm more "responsible" than "hip" even though I'm mid-20's... but I go with what's given.

Hip? Me? LOL this might be the only time I am ever called hip! Nerdy, yes. I just turned 23, but people can't believe it when they meet me -- I am not sure if they think I am seriously mature and older or really childish and yonger . Probably depends on who you talk to.

I agree with Annie, it will be very interesting to see if the demographics have changed much with all the new members now  Interesting to be considered "pre-mid-life-crisis", you obviously have not met some of my friends how didn't understand the "pre" part I have been a Superman/Lois Lane fan since about 7 years old too Julie, just look at how many years you have to look forward to feeding the obsession S (who is glad to see that others her age and older have either joined us, or at last admitting thier age now )

I've voted for "Responsibility Strikes - 30 to 39 years" but I don't know about the "Responsibility Strikes" part since I'm number 5 of 5 daughters.

Well, I’m 22 and whilst I would like to think of myself as a hip adult, responsibility has also struck…just brought a house and therefore a mortgage (moving in tomorrow!  ) and I’m getting married in 18months time . So a nice combination of both Sarah-Jayne

I'm still under 30, but I wouldn't exactly consider myself hip, either.

Okay, I can't help it. Every time I see this thread, this pops into my head. I don't know why. But to excise the thought, I must post. Now we are six
