orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	Originally Posted By: Anne327 I just turned 53, I think. My friends are all my age or older, which is scary as I'll need younger friends when I am old-old, whatever thet number is, because it's sad and lonely to outlive all your friends. No family, so I can't count of them Younger friends- this will happen more often if you get involved in extra-curricular activities that cut across a broad spectrum of age groups. For you Anne, your job probably isolates you abit from daily camaderie with other workers. Or maybe I don't know something here. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	I'm 60, and my friends (outside of BWS) are mostly younger than I am - in their 20s and 30s. Some of them I met when I went to University and some that I have worked with at one time or another. There are also a couple of younger women I have 'mentored' along the way who still keep in touch. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	When I worked, I worked with people my son's age. That was interesting, to say the least. One of the gals was in my boy's graduating class. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	The point of post 180553 is that I didn't see much of a generation gap. One gal was boy-crazy, got married and divorced within a short timeframe. But everyone else seemed mature and sensible. Age was never a consideration for connecting with someone. Didn't matter if they were handsome or pretty, rich or poor. I can sense a sweet spirit, and it's a person's spirit, which I do or don't find attractive. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Anne makes a great point about having younger friends. So many of Dad's and my FIL's friends have died. IT's terribly sad. In Dad's case, he has some younger nieces and nephews who check in on him. This is a great reason to get invovled with multi-generational activities. The elderly offer wisdom and the young have fun. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

One thing about imaginary friends, they won't stab you in the back! Don't think I've experienced or was aware of backstabbing by good friends. Just certain friendships naturally peetered out due to changes in our lives and personal interests. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com
