18 hereā€¦and frankly, quite surprised at some of the other Doperā€™s ages. There are a lot of teenagers here who I thought were much older than they actually are! ---

39 yrs old. Male. 40 on 1/26/03. I donā€™t see 40 as much of a milestone. Seems like when you tell people youā€™re 39, they all say, ā€œHow many times?ā€ A year of that shit is all I can take. Actually, it seems to surprise people that Iā€™m that old. While Iā€™m no Brad Pitt, most people tell me I donā€™t look like Iā€™m up to my late 30ā€™s. Kind of nice, reallyā€¦ ---

I would guess the average age is 35 or so. Married, kids, steady job, etc. For what itā€™s worth, Iā€™m 20. Iā€™ll be 21 in 3 months. ---
