considering you just learned about the term today and I've been using it for years, I think I'll go with my interpretation

The term might not have existed when I was younger, but old man strength did - it just never had a name.  You just knew that the older guy stood better odds in a physical contest than the younger one, unless the younger guy was built like a pro linebacker.

I'll turn 40 in August, so I'm creeping in on the 41-50 age bracket. Completely fine with that though. The 30's have been good and the 40's look to ge great!

Thanks, Randy

Well, look at it this way - since "40 is the new 20", Randy, you're merely 19, and David, you're only 24!

Hurray! How long do you think the bell curve will hold out? I hope we don't get an influx of younger members and the chart shifts to a decreasing trend. That will make Don feel even more like an old fart.  :P

Actually, my category has grown dramatically since I signed up.  When this topic was started, there were perhaps two, maybe three - now there's eleven.

Trivial fact: my age group makes up only about 8% of the people polled.  I alone have created about 12% (correction, now it's 13.15%) of all the posts on this board - (more than) one out of every eight!

It is curving more, but it's still a bit lopsided.  The three top age segments are still ages 15-25, as they have been since the poll started.  I do notice, however, significantly more older members than before.

After all this time, the Bell curve is finally shifting more noticeably - the median used to be younger and the curve itself has grown wider.  In the early days, those teen groups were the biggest and it dropped off quickly from there - I was one of only two or three people in my (older) age group.

The hobby is maturing!

I should probably close this topic and start fresh - some of the entries are so old, the users who made them may or may not even be active members anymore!
