According to this chart it is acceptable for me to date an 82 year old woman.  That is actually kind of creepy..wait a second that is incredibly creepy.

How come no one is anwering question 2?  Were all friends here…no need to be shy. 

Some reason Cate Blanchett comes to mind..Turns out she's 43…thought she was older…She's hot. And to put it in perspective, Jennifer Aniston is 40 something and I don't think she looks it. Age is the number, it depends on who you are attracted. If you are focused on age, then I'm guessing your answer is who doesn't look over 40.
Have you been to your high school reunion? That will put your mirrored image in perspective or under analysis.

Why is it everyone on the 9:30 board considers themselves young looking and hot, then when you actually meet them, they are total dorks (meself included)? Get over yourselves!  ;D

Yes, it's nice to meet all you dorks
;D

Wouldn't this be the Millennials or whatever the 1980 and on generation was termed?  Gen X'ers are what, 34 at a minimum these days. 

im referring to RB (gen x) thinking that twenty-somethings (millennials) are attracted to wealth, not age/appearance.

LOL Me gen-x!  That has to be one of the funniest and most absurd things written on this forum ever.

not to like, call you stupid or anything, but yeah - you're gen x.

^ Except that the same site you source also defines him as a Baby Boomer, born between 1946 and 1964, which is more the traditional terminology for one born in his era.

I am actually more baby boomer than anything.  Born 1955.  Then again I am not all that into labels.  <Most of them are rather silly and just go to further divide society.

oh snap

Being part of the baby boomers doesn't please, I have no need for the Rogaine, little blue pills or the Eagles, etc…
i'm fairly certain at one point i was at the very beginning of Gen-x, but it appears the "experts" can't agree on when it actually starts as seen in the wikipedia article.  Wasn't Henry Rollins at one time considered Gen-X even though we was born late 50s?

Tom Tomorrow had a This Modern World comic years ago that featured him lamenting to Sparky that he didn't feel that he fit into either the boomers or Gen-X. He was born in 1961 (same year as Rollins) and felt that the media had him wedged in between the two demos. Sparky declared him a "wedgie".

I'd post the comic but Tomorrow's archives are down.

ooh i like that… being called a wedgie :)

I was surprised to find out that Ian Brown turned 50 this year, thought for sure the Stone Roses would have been in their 40s.  So a prototypical Gen-X band are actually a bunch of wedgies :)

I knew they were older.  They were an 80's band.  Around since the early 80's I believe.

61 is a baby boomer.  He isn't a wedgie.  He should just embrace his baby boomerness.

You being a baby boomer does explain your musical taste.

you can be young looking and dorky.  I don't do board meet-ups. I did one once on another message board and I ended up having this female live with me for 10 months due to that meet-up and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
