Whats the average age of us dopers

In My Humble Opinion
21
  1. I’m divisible by 11, at least.
22
  1. In the Prime so to speak …
23

I’m going with the harmonic mean here.

Seriously, the average age of US dopers is probably right around thirty or so with a high variance. FWIW, I’m 25.

24

I’m 46. As the 22nd Doper to post my age in this thread, I just brought the average to about 39.9 and my prediction is 35 plus or minus… something.

25

I’d even think it’s higher…reading this board for the last 6 years I feel pretty close to younger than the median at times. I’d put it around 38. I’ll probably, obviously be wrong though.

26

I was 16 when I started and I am about to be 18, for what it is worth.

27

I’m 25

28

Another 25 year old. (Which still sounds kinda old to me…I guess because I can no longer claim to be in my “early 20s” – it’s like a whole new phase of life… :mad: )

I was going to ask why you were just wondering about American dopers, but then I realized that you didn’t capitalize us for a reason… :smack: Older, but not wiser…

29

I’m 28…29 on 12/4.

30

I’m 25, but my inner child is an arthritic, cantankerous 65-year-old.

Well, at least this non-weekend he is.

31
  1. I hope this thread bears fruit. I’m curious about the average doper age myself.
32

27 here.

I’m predicting around 35, too, though I suspect that different age-groups gravitate towards different forums. GD, I think, draws an older crowd than MPSIMS, for example.

33

My guess is 32, but that all depends upon who shows up to answer.

Which is why I popped in… 30 here, and hoping to bring down the average of the older (and wiser!) Dopers so we can maintain our sleek, sexy, hip public image.

34

This would be a GREAT sticky thread. Obviously we’d need a small shell script to peruse the posts and update the ages though. :slight_smile:

35

I am 37, for now.

36

We just did this, as jrfranchi has pointed out. I was hoping to see an average come out of the previous thread, but noooo!
Maybe this one will bear fruit, although I think it’s going to take several hundred responses to have any hope of accuracy.
I turn 67 in Jan. '06. That should give a boost to the median.

37

I’m 32.

38

37, 38 in a few weeks.

39
  1. I like 30.

26 in 3 days.
