CandyRain123 2 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I've been in sl for about 6 years now, and still to this day, I have met very few people my age.. sooo.. i decided to start a group called "Generation X'ers" for those born between 1965-1980. I hope it will be a good place for us to get to know more ppl our age and to share hangout spots etc. Here is the link if interested! Thanks secondlife:///app/group/eb82e487-e581-4e8d-e2eb-70de5a515453/about Link to post Share on other sites
Fritigern Gothly 2,653 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I promise you that you have met many of us, you just never were aware of it because everyone looks 23 in SL 😉 I was born in the final weeks of '69 BTW Edited November 10, 2020 by Fritigern Gothly Video added. Enjoy! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RowanMinx 5,816 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Sorry, baby boomer here but I'd have to agree with @Fritigern Gothly. Most people I meet are gen X although always a few older or younger. You have probably met them too but people lie about their age more than anything else.

shiviex 1,615 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Wow weird.. Almost all the people I meet are of generation x and i have a hard time meeting younger people. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Max Nova 93 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 67 here, I'll give it a go. I have been in the 30's then had to switch to the 40's then had to switch to 50's groups, we even age in SL haha 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Maitimo 11,657 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Weird - almost everyone I know in SL (where I know their age at all) is Gen X or older. Including me. As for where to hang out, I guess it depends more on timezone than age. Clubs that play 1980s music would be a good bet though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
English47 16 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I’m up front about my age, best way to be I think. At least you have a chance of finding like minded people in a similar age bracket. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Syo Emerald 5,828 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Weird, I also thought generation X is like the "default" age group for the SL population. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Wulfie Reanimator 3,513 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Not long ago I blew my own mind realizing how old I was. Now I feel like a child again, thanks guys. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Like, in terms of time, we are closer to Cleopatra VIIth lifetime, than she was to the construction of the pyramids of Giza. By a margin of roughly half a millennia. Link to post Share on other sites

(1970) I always claimed that Lil was "Forever 30" in SL. My 30th year in RL is when I split from my first husband and finally started discovering ME. It was probably the best year of my life. Like others, I always assumed that SL was mostly dominated by Gen-X folks. While I am officially a Boomer, I was born at the tail end of it, so I often find myself sometimes fitting in with Boomers and sometimes with Gen-X. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
KatJamez 6 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Nods to who mentioned always forgetting what they were. Born in 1965. I just realized my generation is perfectly me - late Boomer (I really am a late bLoomer!! 🌼 ). I find it depends on where I am at inworld but I am generally at a writing place and it's mostly the #overfifty crowd. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
