Just curious about the age differences other soompiers have with their friends now that they are over 20.

Are the age differences between you and the people you're friends with been getting progressively wider? Or has it stayed relatively the same?

Do you gravitate towards an age group?

Are you the youngest, oldest, or somewhere in the middle in the groups you hang out with now?

Any other thoughts?

most of mine are +/- 3 years.
a handful of people who are 5+

The majority of my very close friends are my age, but they're the ones I grew up with. Everyone else that I have befriended over the past few years are 5-6 yrs. younger than me. I gravitate towards a certain group of people as in interests and personality more so than age.

^ yep--same here. I was 45 in March-no one believes me (I guess this is good lol); most of my friends, male and female, are in their 20's. I think the youngest is 17--and there are also others older than me-- friends from school, and some 8 to 10 yrs older than me. I've always had both younger and older friends, but the gap was smaller because we were all in school, even if we were in different grades (difference was 2 to 3 yrs or so). I don't care about the gap--we're friends because we have similar likes and tastes...so no, I don't gravitate towards any specific age. (I'm the baby to some,, noona-type to the others.) Not one of them has ever said anything negative about my age...they were more suprised at first how much we had in common...they expected more differences.

My close friends are pretty much around the same age as I am. They are the few I still keep in contact with from high school. A friends I see once in a while is 5 years younger. My last birthday he tells me I'm so old.

Otherwise, age doesn't matter as long as we have some common intrest. A few others I hang around with are a few years younger than I am. However, I have not really met or hung out with anyone older than I am.

Hmm... most of my friends are around my age.
About from two years younger than me to about 2-3 years older.

I was a frosh leader at my school for a while so the age spread of the people I know is pretty huge.

A lot of my friends are 1-5 years my senior from networking with people my age .. and in addition to working now. Then there some that are from being a frosh leader for ... 4 years (and victory lap) so theres a bunch I know that are in their 19/20's.

I have 2 group of friends: the first they have around my age, the second they're all about 5 years younger, but we got a lot of common interests so that's why it naturally works.

[klx13]

The majority of my friends are my age give or take 2 or 3 years. My youngest friend (that I consider a really close friend) is 20, but all of my best friends are a year older than me.

[tjadl6386]

Most are the same age as me or 1 to 2 years younger or older. I do have a few friends who are a lot older than me.

[pochacco]

Most are my age.. but usually + or - 2 years.

[RawrRawr]

-4/+7
I have a few +10's.

[Sasami]

Most of them are my age ^^ maybe a couple of months apart, but that is about it.

[ALYSSA]

All of my friends are at least 2-5 years older than me. It sucks cause I'm only 20 and can't really do much with them at night.

[Myss Blewm]

My closest friends are all generally around my age; two best friends have birthdays within 8 months to me; the rest of my close friends are about 1-3 years apart from me. I do have a few friends who I've made through work who are older than me by more than 5+ years.

[chiyo]

as i'm getting older age is starting to become less important. right now it seems like once you're an adult, age doesn't make much difference in your behaviour anymore. most of my friends are around my age, 1-3 years older or younger. the oldest is 8 years older. back then most of my friends would be the same age or older, but now i can also befriend younger people than me

[wm0102]

A handful of mine are 1-3 years older than me. I enjoy the company of my older friends, I fit in with them more.

[Pogichinoy]

My highschool, uni, family friends that are from my grade are all mostly 1 year older than me.

But I have friends from other groups that are up to 5 years younger than me or 3 years older. >_<

I don't mind though, because I get along with all of them fine.

[lucky_moon]

most of my friends are older than me with not less than 3 years.. I don't have really someone around my age..

[c'tin tje]

i don't limit my friends age
i have friends from 15 till 30s yeara old....
