Does the age of people on "Answers " really matter to you?

No it doesn't.I'm 27 and some of the kids on here think I'm over the hill.You are very mature for a  14 yr old.Your parents must be very proud.

Depends on the time people are answering your question.... What difference would it make anyway :-)

I'd have to say that answers are dependent on interpretation of intent.  If one perceives the question to be smart-ass, that is usually the tone of answer received.\nThen too... some just believe themselves superior and can't resist presenting a condescending attitude.

I was the same way. Even today at 23, I have friends who are my age and who are a significant amount of years older. I think when you're young and hanging out with older people, it shows the maturity level you possess. When you're an adult, I guess you stop asking everyone's age and just look at people as people. If you have things in common with them or just enjoy their personalities, you don't even consider age.

Nope I can assure of that. Even though a lot of people are immature and say stupid things in response to questions like they were on myspace or AIM or something. Just check out Marilyn Vos Savant's featured question, thats where all the older people are hanging out.

I'm almost 50 but still a kid at heart so I don't really know how I'd fit in!\n\nI find "Answers" to be fun, informative, and hopefully if I've gained a little wisdom living all these years I can use it here to help someone along their way.

I think it's great, I'm 52 and learn something all the time here, it seems to be a wide mix of age groups, with that you can just about get anything answered. I'm not that good at computers and these computer whiz guys can answer any question, you throw at them.The only thing that bothers me is the very young, you don't know the person's age, that's asking the question, so you don't know how to answer it, esp. if it's related to sex. The other is spelling, we all make mistakes and not all good spellers, but there's spell check, it's like they don't even look at what they asked, because when it comes out "u can et ur tims, but whts is coss" your going  WHAT are they asking.

I dont think that this depends on age.  There are plenty of immature 30 year old, and 40 year olds.  I think it all depends on what kind of person you are.  I know that judging is wrong, I am 26, but sometimes I am biased, it might be my friend, it might be against something that I feel strongly about, or just the fact that I agree with someones situation...  But I try to be fair.  And I know that the saying you learn more as you age is true to a certain degree, but it doesnt change if your an immature idiot.

I'm 16 years old.  Glad to know that not everyone blames the more idiotic questions on this site exclusively on the younger set.

I am 53. I play Serious Sam on line, I do Teen discos, I head bang to AC/DC, Zep, Van Halen, Jet and Green day. This site is for any age to come and either ask or express or answer. Older people are usually wiser than younger people. All in all I would say the mixture of cultures, races and ages on this site, is second to none. It is necessary to have different views, and just because bushbot acts about 11 and is rude it doesnt mean to say we all follow his silly ways. Hey bushbot, what would you think if we all reported you for abuse. Your question was perfectly legitimate Krystina.

I've seen answerers who have claimed to be as young as eight, and as old as 106.  We have no way of knowing what anyone's true age is.  I'm in my twenties - for real.

I <3 15 year old boys! But the one above me either lied about his age now, or lied about it in another question that he answered. Creep.

I am 40 and have a very full and happy life.  I don't spend my entire day/night on yahoo!answers, but I do visit in between projects at work.  I'm on here because I've noticed that there are a lot of people - both young and older - who have honest questions and are looking for answers from "experienced" men & women.  I guess that includes me...\n\nSometimes it's more comfortable to approach an outsider for advice than someone you know.  What better forum than the internet, where you can be as anonymous as you want?

I'm not sure that's true. There seems to be a lot of response to provocative questions. Religion, immigration, racism are hot topics. There is a lot of response to kids in trouble -- pregnant 15-year-olds, depressed 14-year-olds etc. Pregnancy and child care questions often elicit a significant response. Easy homework questions get lots of responses, because people like to show off how smart they are. Some questions attract the jokesters. Really technical or specific questions may get few answers because only a few people may know how to replace a carburetor or how much manufactured homes cost in California. Then there's just the random factor of timing -- who's there when a question comes up. There's an interesting ebb and flow in the kinds of questions. Homework questions, for example, tend to increase as the night goes on. I'm surprised at how many come up after midnight! It is interesting to watch the trends as you stay on Answers over a period of weeks or months. Certain questions occur quite often. How can there possibly be so many kids who have no clue who Leonardo DaVinci is. Incredible. Anyway, I find Answers a fascinating place to hang around.

60, babe, you're just a kid.\n\n(edit)\nWith 12 answers, we seem to be older than the average IM user.

it doesn't really mean anything.  people just put it on there because they don't want to put their real age.  and that's the biggest number that you can put.

How do you compensate when most of the questions are equally as ridiculous?  \nIt should have age related categories, or be divided into age period groups.  I feel too old for most of these questions that MUST be from a 14 year old.
