+sbell111 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Did it, I fit right in with the in crowd. One question though, who was the 90+ As near as I can tell, people both lie in that poll and 'vote often'. Link to comment
+KJcachers Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 this thread is a year and a half old. How many people have changed categories since it started? Link to comment
+iambobbrown Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Well, I seem to be in the majority. I am also. for now. Link to comment
+sportside Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 That's all wrong... the 21 year old's should not be lumped with the 30 year old's. Link to comment
+Phil100 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 That's all wrong... the 21 year old's should not be lumped with the 30 year old's. When you reach 63 you don't mind who you're 'lumped' with - as long as it isn't with the 64+ group! Link to comment
+Sabri.Suh Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 i voted... I'm extremely new here... but anyways... i was curious about the results! Link to comment

+Rose Red Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I noticed someone has started an new thread in "Getting Started" asking people to give their ages. There's an old thread in this area asking the same thing. The problem with asking people to post their ages, there's no way to summarize the results (Also, some people don't want to state their ages publicly ). So, I've created a poll, and I'm asking everyone to give there age one more time. This will really let us see the pattern of geocacher ages. So Go Here and enter your age anonymously. Then look at the results to see the pattern. Also, post something here saying you did it so this thread won't slide off the radar screen. Did it. So few geocachers/benchmarkers/waymarkers my age.

+sportside Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 That's all wrong... the 21 year old's should not be lumped with the 30 year old's. When you reach 63 you don't mind who you're 'lumped' with - as long as it isn't with the 64+ group! I don't like being lumped with the 21 year olds... I recently saw a survey that listed 18-23, 23-29, 30-49, 50+ Talk about lumping... Link to comment

+JeremyR Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 As I'm sure has probably been pointed out over the course of the last n pages, it's not a representation of the age of caches but the age of gc.com forumites Link to comment
+busterbabes Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Can I vote twice? My real age is ummm 30 (again) but I prolly should fess up on the survey (its anonymous) LOL Link to comment

Vik&Mäh Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 That was interesting! I imaged it to be a youngsters game (under 35) so I'm surprised by the result. Link to comment
George_H_M Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I am in . Helping increase the 31 - 40 age group . Link to comment
+Colonial Cats Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It looks like a scientific Bell Curve. It's chopped off at age 12. I'm sure that if there was a 0-11 years old choice then it would be a near perfect Bell Curve. Link to comment
+Buggheart Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I replied and am in the 2nd most populated group. Link to comment
+Proud Soccer Mom Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 29 and holding here. My husband fits in the majority. Whoever is 90+, Rock on! - Elle Link to comment

+Savoy 6 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Glad to be in a group that is not in the lead. Some of us may not be in the best shape, but we have grown old with stubborness, "orneryness", and angina pectoris. I tried to make an age appropriate rhyme. Post midnight silliness. Link to comment
+mfamilee Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Voted - 31 to 40 range here for both me & my husband. Link to comment
+timberdoodlehunter1 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 did it, not surprising with results that I saw Link to comment

kill2nowhere Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 tis done, quite a few of us "olders" around !!!!! Link to comment
+JodyC_GoHogs Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Was surprised to see how many people my parent's age GC, considering they think it's a waste of time. I'm 30 and LOVE it. Go figure. Just confirms that my dear parents are not normal - something I figured out when I was 15. There's an old addage contributed to Mark Twain: "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." In the 9 years since then, I have come to love and appreciate them all that much more - but they're still weird. =0) Link to comment
+graybeard49 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Done, I surprised how many oldies there are. ( Me being one of them) Link to comment
+Wintonian Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'll give it a go. I'm 27 be intresting to see if my preseptions are wrong. I only seen to come accross cachers in a more meture age range. Link to comment
kwalsh554 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 These are pretty much the results you would expect. A hand held GPS is something not a lot of older teenagers and college aged people can just up and buy for a game, as $100 can be pretty steep for someone trying to make tuition payments in addition to other bills. I could barely afford food when I was in college, there's no way I was going to buy a GPS, even though I've known about it for a while and it always looked interesting. That's not to say they don't enjoy it. I got a GPS for Christmas and so I just started. I took my 19 year old brother out with me yesterday and we found our first one. He really loved it.
