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.
