    Either much older or much younger?

    I've got friends of all ages. I'm good at finding common ground. ​


    I'm pretty good friends with this guy who knows my mum. He had surgery on his back last year so when mum went to see him, I tagged along. I guess we just clicked almost instantly. He's one of those people who may just go up to someone random in a street and strike up a conversation. He just treats most people he meets as if he's known them his whole life. We live a few hours from one another so we catch up mostly whenever we get a chance to.

    I like him and his wife a lot. They are very eccentric and interesting, and I would consider them some good friends of mine.

    My mum also has a friend she's known since childhood who doesnt live too far from the other guy. He's like a second dad :2thumbsup: and is actually to thank for introducing my mum to the other guy and his wife.

    What about you guys? Any friends out of your age range? ​

    I have a couple of friends my age, but that is only because we share classes at school. Outside of school I get on best with people who are older than me. I'd day the average friend age for me is 25.

    One of my most very favorite people EVER has got to be pushing 70 by now. We go hang out at his house sporadically, and once in a blue moon, he'll show up over here with one of our other friends (who are in our age range, lol). I remember back when I first knew him, he was having a bad day, and we hung out on his property in a camper and had a big stash of alcohol in there and he came over and drank like ALL of it. Then he wandered off and disappeared. Found him hung over the next day, he said he woke up in the alley. lol. He's a hoot.

    My brothers are pals with a lot of really crazy and nifty old people, so I know them by association. People like 'Papa' and 'Bubbah', 60's, and then there are a whole pile of 40-50 somethings. They are all pretty much insane, but they've always got a place to stay and some ramen noodles when you need it.

    10 years apart at most, really. I'm still 25... I feel it would be weird to kick it with oldies, though I enjoy drunken conversation with anyone of any age! haar!

    Older people are easy to relate to for me. I enjoy their wisdom.

    Thinking about it this morning... there's also this 74 year old Dutch man I worked with for two years and got close to. I'd get to work just a little bit early every weekend so I could give him a big hug. For some reason too, I remember he bleeds easily. I'm not sure if it has something to do with age or what, but yeah, every day he'd find me somewhere and he'd be sporting a nice cut on his arm or something, then ask me to put a bandaid on him.

    I dont really see him anymore because he's been ill on and off and doesn't work as much. Next time I catch him we'll have to swap numbers or something.

    I have friends for there early 20's. I still live in the same small town I grew up in so it's easy to be friends with multi generations. The old guy that lives around the corner was telling me about the day we moved into the house I grew up in (I own it now). But most are between 30 to 65.

    Nope, if its young people They think I am too old . If its older people I am a punk teenager with no respect and too immature to handle real life. If its my own age, I am too mature and too cool to exist.

    Life isn't for me I guess.
