I'm 37, work as an Acad guy for a Land Surveying Co. Yea those guys that stand on the side of the street with 'cameras' and dig holes in your front yard looking for little bits of metal. (althouh I don't work in the field anymore)

Common questions asked of surveyors:
"Whatcha digging for? Gold hehehe"
(possibly mildy funny the first time. not so much the other zillion times)

"Is that a camera"

"Why are you digging that hole. Someone found that survey bar 10 years ago. Do you have to dig it up again?"
Answer- "No I do not have to dig this hole. I'm standing out here in -20 degree weather digging this hole for fun you #$%%&^$!!"
Answer2 "Gosh no. I guess the 4 years I spent getting my Survey Engineering degree were wasted. Thanks for telling me how to do my job."

I'm 30. I live in Cannes, French Riviera, home of the movie festival.

I work as an IT developer, when I work (since a few months, unfortunatly not, because of the worldwide crisis, but I've discovered SE IV at this period, so I'm busy anyway).

I'll get maried this summer.

When I'm not depressed (like this year) I'm a rpg player (especialy Cyberpunk 2020 and "Diesel and Dust 2035", my amateur, mad-max-like post-apocalyptic Rpg).

Love rock music, funboard, go to the beach and skiing.

My homepage is : http://cybereb.fr.fm

Well, that's all.

The primitive one is 41. My Last serious girlfriend slammed the door on me calling me a primitive, hence the nick.

Originally an Electronics Engineer, but I have not designed anything in years. Work in sales support at the moment (money for nothing).

Likes beer, strategy games, hanging out with friends and sports (doing, not watching). Main sport at the moment is (long-distance) bike racing.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I'm 22.

I am theoretically a student and I like strategies http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif , RPG, do some sports(not proffesionaly) etc. You certainly have the picture.

26 for now, wage-slaving as a helpdesk tech.

By this time in my Father's life I was two and my little sister was just recently born. He was getting out of the Military, buying a house, and starting his career in Defense. I had always expected something like that.

Me: college drop-out, long-hair, unwed, bachelor flat with the latest in a long line of interesting roommates, un-promising job like the ones before, another great-time/no-keeper girlfriend. But at least I have bought a house, am not living hand-to-mouth, and I should have at least as long left as I have come so far. That's a long, long time.

For a single thrity something guy knowing that there are 7 over 30 women for every over 30 man doesn't really help when you consider a great portion of those over 30 women also happen to be over 50. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

No offense to over 50 women at all, but as you said yourself your typical 30-something is looking for a 30-something woman. And the ratio of available 30-something women to single 30-something men I am sure is much lower then 7 to 1.

Of course if the man can stay healthy and single and live past his 50's then his chances will go WAY up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

7 single women over 30 for every single man over 30? It doesn't seem to be that way, at least where I live... Everywhere I go, there seems to be at least twice as many men as there are women. At school, there was a ratio of about 50 men to 1 woman. At the place where I work, there's about 10 men to 1 woman. Here, in the SE4 forums, it's also mostly men.

How could there be enough women in their 20's to match up with so many men (in their 20's, 30's and so on)? If there is such a surplus of women over 30, then there must be a big lack of women for some other age group...

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Kamog, go to the mall and you will see a much higher ratio of women to men. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It all depends on where you look. If you are talking college in general it's about even I believe. But if you are in an engineering or tech school you are going to be with mostly men. Go to a teaching or nursing college and you are gonna be outnumbered by women.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Exactly, there's a lot of competition for women under 30, therefore not enough of them. Also, the times are different now. You see a woman with a small child and assume she's in a relationship, right ? Nowadays it's more likely she isn't.

Geo : I know a guy who used to be a mechanic. He'd sit and look at the women going to the hairdresser across the street from his workshop. One day he sold his shop and became a hairdresser. His complaints about women these days are something along the lines of 'they're too jealous of each other'. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
