How old is the average Meh User? (Results)
5whelp… it only took me a while…
Results
So you’ll notice two columns. This is because @RiotDemon also did a survey, which they linked in my thread. This is the results of both.

Here’s a graph for the thumbnail:
Results breakdown
I allowed people to whisper results or post them publicly. Here is the breakdown on the differences between the two.

Yeah, and we’re all older now so the whole thing is off
@ybmuG And even older.
I want to use this opportunity to say there were almost 50 entries counted. I admire the creativity some of you used while simultaneously wishing you made it a little easier. This was a lot more Googling than I anticipated. Some weren’t specific enough to get results from. @KidsAndLiz for example needs to specify their base for me to do that math.
@DoctorOW I am basing my answer to the age question on the age old ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ adage (grin).
@DoctorOW @Kidsandliz
so from that we need to assume you are a 17 year old male trapped in a Martian’s body
@DoctorOW People like me who answered more than once (three times in my case) didn’t help either.
I’m 32 years young here
@PooltoyWolf but how old is Fenris?
@PooltoyWolf @tinamarie1974 you forgot to specify dog years or not.
@tinamarie1974 Fenris is 10! He was ‘born’ on July 24th, 2010.
Also @Felton10 how about Walter. I feel like he is a part of the forum
@tinamarie1974 Walter will be 25 this year. We got him when he was 10 weeks old.
@Felton10 when is his birthday?
@tinamarie1974 Sometime in june-don’t know exactly
@Felton10 @tinamarie1974
errr… hatchday?
@chienfou @Felton10 yeah but hatchday does not quite roll off your tongue
@tinamarie1974
just cracking wise as usual!!
@chienfou @tinamarie1974 We would not use the term “hatchday” around Walter. We try to discourage conversation which might indicate we think of him of anything but a human being.
@chienfou I assumed so much. I was just being cheeky
@chienfou @tinamarie1974 If you had a bird that eats chicken, eggs and lamb chops and snores, cusses and barks like a dog, all bets are off.
@chienfou @Felton10 @tinamarie1974 You’d just be egging him on.
So much data! Sorry if I made your life harder, that was not my intent.
Such interesting stuff! I love this
So are people mehsing around or are there really that many over 65 and 85? If so, I think Meh may be missing out on some senior products…
@readnj
I was wondering myself, is there really THAT MUCH wisdom here? Hmm…
@readnj The “old fart community” is underappreciated part of the consumer public. All we have to do is watch TV, soak our dentures and buy things online.
@Felton10 @readnj
I guess 80+ is pre-Boomer, but anyhow…

Is the interest of detail that was provided in the first thread… Average age of Meh forum users who answered the question
I chose not to respond but am above the average by a small amount.
@speediedelivery does not seem to account for the bias of who would see it and answer
Well, I am exactly average. Just as I always thought.
@cinoclav
how truly meh…
@cinoclav pssshaw
@cinoclav If you excel at being meh, are you still actually meh?
/giphy paradox
No average for the RD poll results? (though I believe there is a slight chance the data is skewed by people who lied about their ages --over 85 for instance…)
@chienfou
As I asked/mentioned above, is there really THAT MUCH wisdom here? Hmm…
@chienfou Since RD’s poll used ranges, one would have to use the midpoint for each range, which would introduce inaccuracy. And then what do you do with 85+?
@ThunderChicken
D’ohhh good point!
I don’t recall this poll. And I’m not sure I wish to be that specific. The absolutely annoying hairs in my ears/eyebrows are making me feel old as shit
@unksol
I was going to say; With hair on your ears, YOU must be OLD! Older than time!!
Lol…
@Lynnerizer I’m not. just getting those weird hairs is making me feel like an old man. Some of the eye brows sticking out seem white and I’m to young for that but this year and this job… Maybe it’s stress related
Eight users older than 85? Really???
At that age buying meh’s merchandise makes minimal (if any) sense.
@Ambiverbal On the contrary, old people would love a lot of meh products. Old people love cheap prices on weird off brand products of sometimes questionable quality. Never gotten gifts from an elderly relative before?
@Ambiverbal @gmsimmons Sure - but can they afford the shipping wait time?
@Ambiverbal @gmsimmons @ybmuG Meh must be ahead of us on this, having recently introduced enhanced shipping.
@Ambiverbal @gmsimmons @ybmuG Good point - my wife’s 93 year old stepdad likes to say he doesn’t buy green bananas any more.
Eye do not recall this hear pole. Any way if one was to ask me. Eye am 40 ish. Eye sure act much younger…know one was actually asking!
