Are there over 50 year old listeners?

Can we start a listener group that are over 50 to help members that are over 50 themselves? Sometimes I find the younger crowd doesn't grasp the depth of things that those over 50 go through...just a suggestion...

Ya I'm in my 40's and find it weird telling a teen about my monster in law and marriage issues... Not saying teens don't understand but most are not married either..

Great idea to have an older listeners group. I'm 50 and would be happy to participate. Agree, can't really see how a teen could relate to my problems.

Hello Native Elder,

I don't know if you are still taking messages, but I think your idea is an excellent one. How can I reach you, though, as I tried browsing listeners, and you did not show up. Have you quit the site?

Yes, I agree. It could be a new category, like teens/ over 18's. I've been asked how old I am lots of times. It's important to many people as they appreciate the life experience we have and talk more freely.

Elsewhere there was a suggestion to show age or age range of listeners when browsing. That might be a solution to allow those who are looking for a listener in their age range to find one, while still allowing those who are indifferent to the age of their listener to access the full group of listeners.
