Do you fit the pattern?

I am going to be 31 in less than a month and I am a Social Worker/Interventionist. On the side, I do a lot of writing (my memoirs mostly) so creative in some ways, others...not so much.

you man the phones for ll support?

Late 40s, ICU nurse for 24 years, married for rather longer, mother of three. Writer, self-published. Newly-self-discovered lover of my own gender. SL has been a revelation.

43. Creative, if you call writing commercials for Starkist tuna and Ronzoni pasta creative.

As old or as young as I feel.

*Incredibly* - repeat *incredibly* - creative.
- but a few motor skills tend to get between the imagination and the visible output.

In other words, just like everyone else

Retired Aerospace Engineer who will turn 63 next month fishing for marlin in Hawaii. Yes I go fishing on my birthday, I'm not creative just supertitious. Oh I tag and release the fish, I don't want anybody to thing I'm a fish killer. I don't eat swordfish either because longline fishing kills and throws away 90% of all their catch as trash.

Superwoman! some are.

I'm Male, 49, Graphic Designer.

I think their average 32 years old is too high, but it's probably journalistic license to indicate that it's not just 14 year old kids in SL.

Hey, send me a case of Linguini.

sorry Charlie.

judging by this thread i would reckon 32 is too low an estimate.

21, in a 3D animation major.

It only fits about halfway.

I'm 39 and creative....not in a creative profession. But that is the reason SL appeals to me, the creativity and possibilities fascinate me. I love it...I grew up in the era of video game arcades and when computers became main stream...I was swimming in it! (incidentally my aunt, who is now 71, introduced me to Myst and that was the hook for PC gaming for me, apparently it's in my blood lol)

Well, I do and I don't. However, consider the following. I have my entire RL family in SL. So, that puts our ages at 47, 42, 21 and 19. Add those up and divide by 4 and you get 32.25.

Creative professionals? Hmm. Well, I wanted to be an architect out of high school, but ended up in computers, which can be creative as well. The youngest is majoring in Art in college, so not yet professional. The two middle ones (wife and daughter) just like to shop.

Personally, I was initially surprised at the number of "Over 40's" I've run into in SL. I'm also an avid people watcher, so I like to sit around public places and look at profiles (90% of which are blank) and watch behavior. I'll also chat up people in different SL "age brackets" (i.e. noobs, 1-2 months, years old) to get a feel for why they are there and what they do. Interesting conversations.

56 YO Architect, Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts - Studio Arts, Master's Degree in Architecture.

I may be a phone Domme, but I'm not THAT sadistic.

soon to be 43(sept 14) stay at home step mom, artistic side

Yes, I do have an issue with this logic. Assume for the sake of simple math that people are equally distributed on the suface of the globe. Their average location would then be the center of earth. probably in the inner core, a maybe solid, maybe liquid region largely composed of iron at around 5000 degrees under very high pressure, a hellish region only slighty more hospitable than the Ahern welcome area.

LMFAO!

Yes, I fit pretty closely with this... 34 with a degree in fashion design. Currently, my SL business is my full time job.

36 and work in IT. So yeah I think I'm fairly close.

I am the Nintendo generation.

Mother? Is that you!?

Nope! I broke the mold. 50 years old and in purchasing but do use autocad and some other high end programs. Strong computer background but most of it learned in my personal life starting back in the time of the bulletin boards and 14.4 was a bitchin' fast modem. Never did any coding or web design work but now am more then fair at coding with LSL.

Extremely glad I am 50 now and had no previous coding expirience. Would not trade my perspective for anyones. I would hate to be young enough to take this wonderful creation for granted. Second Life is so much more then anything I could have ever imagined the internet becoming.

I remember my first 14.4 and the bbs (bulletin board system)

God those were the days, playing in MUDS and finding the newest place to chat, only to have it be gone a few months later

wonder what ever happened to all those ppl I used to talk to online years ago (one I actually do still keep in touch with, over 10 years and never met in person)

35 and in media software design & consultancy. So I guess I fit the profile.
(Sigh, so much time & effort, and I still end up being average... dang statistics)

Ha and the shock does not go unnoticed. Usually it is younger people that ask someones age. When I tell them I am 48 I get OMG! Why are you on SL? I assume they think it would be more suitable if I would slowly back my walker away for the computer, hobble over to my rocking chair and knit someone a sweater.
