Your age & age range of friends

In another forum, many of the ladies have no problems giving their chronological age.
So I hope I ain't asking anything that digs into a deep, dark secret closet of yours. I am a regular poster on a women-only cycling forum of all ages. It actually helps ...younger women who participate to know some of ages of older/ some who are old enough to be their aunts/mothers. It certainly sets a tone for younger women how to participate in a civilized way. AND it's helpful to ask this question months after the people have participated for awhile if they feel uncomfortable initially. There are have been some positive surprises because age is not necessary indicative of how we "sound" on the Internet.
How old are you?
And the age range of your closest female friends? (not counting your grandchildren nor relatives).
I'm 50. Closest friends are about 45 to 70 yrs. Less closer are: around 31.

In two week I'll be 60 going on 29.
It's strange; many of the people I know around my age seem to talk more of illnesses than those alot older. So I tend to be drawn to people in their 40's. But I agree with Di, you will find all kinds at all ages. I do tend to seek out people younger then I am.

I'm 54. Closest friend's age are from about 45 to 78. Friendly with the 30's and under group, but not close friends. They make me laugh at the way they think. They are still of the mind set that we are old and don't know anything. LOL. God, love'em! Give them a few more years!

I am 52. My close personal friends from childhood are also 52. We call ourselves the 56'ers. I am the only one who has not tinted my hair and the few grey strands that have the nerve to appear, get plucked! All 12 of them. Because we are of the same age group, upbringing and education, we're quite comfortable with each other and can behave ridiculously like 12 year olds when we're together.
My professional associates are between 22 to 68. We learn from each other and enjoy each other's company. The seniors, which includes me, are pretty much young at heart and slightly on par with the younger set. They come to us for wisdom though. LOL! We've been there, done that and still wear the t-shirt.
I'm comfortable with any age group. I have elderly friends from my Parish who I have come to regard as surrogate parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents.
My grandchildren and children keep me feeling young for the most part.

I agree Chatty! You are younger in heart than some 40 year olds that I know.
