Ages of the male to female segment

[Tasha McIntyre]

I am 45.
Need to add a word to get to 20 characters.

[TinaMc]

I'm 36. Old enough to something, too young to something else.

[Angiemead12]

turning 32 on the end of the year!

[LaurenB]

49 and three quarters...

[Cathy J]

I'm a Happy 79 and never enjoyed life more!!

[JamieTG]

I'm 57 and will turn 58 in Sept.

[steftoday]

I'm 54, and I've been doing this since I was 12 or 13.

In drab, people generally guess anywhere from 5 to 10 years younger...

[Carroll]

I will be 47 in a month

[bridgette63]

I am 47 ...48 in August, been doing this since I was 14....

[larry07]

I'm 58 and will be until my birthday.

[Michala]

61 but feel much younger and sometimes act even younger than that.

[insearchofme]

61 but feel much younger and sometimes act even younger than that.

I'm 62, but you know what they say, "62 is the new.........61!"

[Claire Cook]

I'm 48. I'm honestly surprised at the number of folks over 50. I've wondered if I will want to keep doing this as I get older, but seeing how great you girls looks gives me hope.

I agree with the others that free time is probably a large reason why the ages skew towards older girls. There might also be a certain amount of wtf attitude that we adopt as we get older that makes us not care about being out. I was terrified of being discovered when I was younger, and now I really don't care. At 48, I know who I am, and that can't be threatened anymore by someone else's reaction to what I do.

Sophie, I agree. There may be a generational thing here. I'll bet if we had taken this poll 40-50 years ago, there might have been even more skewness toward "more mature" ladies. Back then society was less accepting and we were less aware of what it meant to be transgender -- or were more repressed about it. My hat is off to our younger sisters who are aware of who they are now and express it!

Had I known then what I know now, my life might have been quite different!

[gaylegirlify]

58, but very young at heart.

I admit to being suprised by the demographic, but then I wan to know why this demographic? is this representative of the population or is this representative of those who choose to participate in this thread?

!

What ever results can be concluded from all the responces to this thread it can only be representive of those who choose to participate in this thread. As for my Political map I am not trying to suggest at all we compare our political preferances but I use it to show that the very heavily populated areas of the US just by virtue of their density can make life in general so much different than in other parts of the country.

Even though I live in Oklahoma I live in the City where I assume most of us dress and appear like the average person does in most other larger cities. I have to look very long and hard to find anyone wearing boots and a cowboy hat. Drive just 20 minutes in any direction from where I live and about all you see are dudes in pickup trucks with gun racks wearing boots and cowboy hats. There has got to be a connection there somewhere that has more to do with the "norm" for the area and not just about their age.

I can see where the OP's question is heading and it seem rather obivious from the post so far that the difference between age groups here and their mindset might just have something to do with the fact those of us who are older lived thru years and remember well when tollorance of everthing was not taught the way it is today thus shaping our mindset and making it difficult for us to become as open about things as the younger generation is.

I'll bet if we had taken this poll 40-50 years ago, there might have been even more skewness toward "more mature" ladies. :

Claire that would be a great question to have answered. I might just take that bet simply because I think it has been the loss of the average female looking extremely feminine in the last 50 years which has caused some of us to pursue it in our dressing. I personally have always wondered if the 55 and over age group of CD's has so much more interest in garter belts and stocking simply because we grew up seeing our mothers and females everywere wearing them daily. Pantyhose did not become popular till the mid 60's and it seems there are more CD's under 50 who love pantyhose rather than stockings.

Sorry I don't mean to hijack this thread about just posting age.

I'm 27 and one of those who likes stockings more than pantyhose (you probably had no idea from my name). However I like both a lot!

[Sarah Doepner]

I'll be 61 for a couple more months and then I'll apply for early social security. Uncle Sam will help me improve my wardrobe, isn't he sweet?

[joanna marie]

I just turned 61

Aging is manditory maturity is optional

[Phoebe P.]

I'm 41. I must say, the older members here look amazing!

[Jill Devine]

39 but just about to turn 40. OMG.

[Edwina]

76 and hanging in there. Actually when I look at Edwina in the mirror I feel much younger

[Cassidy]

I'm 61 years old and am quite happy I got this far

[Amalia]

I'm 23, This is quite an interesting thread I didn't realise how many people were here that were 50+. Makes me wonder if this just happens to be the demographics for the site or whether this is actually a larger trend.

[Krista M]

39 going 40 in November

[sally silverfox]

Threescore and more-but told I don't look it or act it.
