The discussion centers around a poll aimed at older singles, particularly those over 40, in a forum predominantly filled with younger members. The original poster expresses curiosity about the dating status of older participants, noting that there seem to be few options for their demographic. Participants share their experiences and humorous anecdotes about aging, relationships, and the challenges of dating later in life. The conversation includes playful banter about age, with members joking about their own and each other's ages, as well as discussing the difficulties of navigating relationships after significant life changes, like divorce. There are also light-hearted references to the physical effects of aging, particularly regarding eyesight and the humorous acceptance of getting older. Overall, the thread combines humor with a genuine inquiry into the dating lives of older singles in the community.

You going to tell us how you voted Evo? I know you can see the results of the other voters. Being a Mentor that is.

Edit: Never mind. I see you are over 40 Evo.

It's an open poll - anyone can see the votes. Click on a vote tally.

OH no. I wonder how many people I've told I voted for them on something have learned that I always vote for myself. Oh wait, I've never told anyone I voted for them.

Is there a little of bias in Evo's fish slaps?

I noticed dlgoff had to know how Evo voted before he decided how old he was. Surely he should have to at least cite a valid reference before we take his age at face value.

MIH is 25, she's telling stories. :biggrin:

Good point.

I have a hard time believing http://i.eonline.com/Entire_Site/20080430/300.cyrus.miley.043008.jpg is over 40, too. That has to be some great make up - aside from being kind of itchy.

None the less, if she wants to claim she's forty-two, then we can invite her for tea, too.

Will you ask her to sing Schwimmer's "drag" song?

"I am Bea. I love tea. Won't you come and dance with me?"

Practice up, Cy. Maybe it will end up on YouTube. :biggrin:

I remember 25 fondly. I was playing bass in a rock 'n' roll band and Bill Clinton was moving into the White House.

Good times. Good times.

Thanks for thinking I am a young whippersnapper, Evo.

They don't make references old enough. What can I say?

May I ask, and get a real answer for once, without being fish slapped into a coma, how old is Evo?

Evo is younger than me and Astronuc, and she is older than MIH and Moonbear. If you want to tighten this up, you'll have to pay.

And how old are YOU turbo?

I'm mature for my age, although I try not to be. :biggrin: Evo and I are close, but I age faster.

:smile: I didn't realize I was younger than MIH either. I always thought we were very close in age. I'm the baby sister! :bugeye: I had no idea!

I also didn't realize berkeman was single. I don't know why, but I just always assumed he was married. Go figure!

I'm also wondering when Cyrus got that operation. :rolleyes:

I'm older than dirt.

I still say MIH is lying to make me feel better.

It just proves age is how you look, feel, and act.

Evo thinks binzing wants to be banned. :biggrin:

That would be abuse of power. Besides, that sarcasm meant that you AREN'T older than dirt, IMO...

Evo is not older than dirt. I know because I have evaluated too much dirt in my day (soil scientist). She is too contemporary to have been instrumental in the development of the soils here-abouts.
