/r9k/ is mostly people of this age, if not older. It's mainly occupied with collegefags.

>>7219483
20, i come here cause sometimes i learn new things from tards on the net. =3

i love learning useless crap.

I'm 50.

>>7219483
>22
>old
Tee hee heeeee!

I'm 23. /b/ is too fast for me and I like a variety of different topics, which is why I'm on /r9k/.

I got a gf and a pretty nice life, btw.

>>7219512

omg, that got through the mootbl0xor?

I'm 36. I like to read r9k occasionally, because it reminds me how far I have come, and lets me know how younger people see the world. (Not too differently, in the long run.)

I'm 21, most of my friends who get on 4chan are the same age. People over 25 post here pretty frequently. I'd say the average age is (a little) higher here than /b/.

i'm 21, and i browse various forums on 4chan because i hate myself

What in the fucking fuck is going on in that picture?

I'm 21 and I've been on 4chan for a very long time. It's basically ingrained into my brain by now. It's the beginning and end of the internet for me.

I work from my laptop on no particular schedule, so I get to spend a lot of time dicking around on the internet.

I'm 22 and don't feel like I'm really old by /r9k/ standards. Wouldn't say I'm missing out on adulthood or anything either. As soon as I get a job I'm moving out, going to have as much of a life as anyone else.

I'm still on /r9k/ because it and /sp/ are the most enjoyable places on the internet for me. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to have absolutely no life and spend 10 hours on /r9k/ to actually browse /r9k/.

And I get a few dates. Probably not as many as the average guy, but I still do alright. I try to help out the helpless around here from time to time on that.

23 here. Kinda sad that I'll be turning 24 in a few weeks. I always imagined that I'd be making 6 figures by the time I turned 25. Fucking engineering degree takes more credits than it fucking needs.

I feel pretty bad about myself for being on here. People are pretty retarded, way too relaxed, when they post. They act like children. I just don't trust the place. But I can't think of anything better to do with my time.

22 actually seems to be around the 4chan average, in my experience.

>>7219605
>>4chan average

Is that supposed to be reassuring?

>>7219533

I was surprised it made it too.


But yeah, I'm 50.

>>7219603

Well then, what does an adult post like? I've been on websites with a much older userbase, like Fark, and they act a lot more childish than /b/. At least when you hear someone on 4chan say "LOL fukk dem haytee niggers", you can assure yourself that the other person is some trollsy 14 year old. On regular forums, you can click their profile and see that comments like that are coming from a married 46 year old with 3 kids. That shit is bad on one's faith in humanity, dog.

>>7219646

NIGGERS NIGGERS NIGGERS

I am 21. I am turning 22 this year.

I could write some big sob story but really it isn't important. I am on 4chan because I am bored and there isn't really much else which is that satisfying on the internet.

I'm 27, i left the robots 7 years ago

o god. I'm 26 and I've long suspected that I'm one of the oldest people on /r9k/ (if not 4chan in general). Of course I lurk here because I live in the asscrack of Ohio and there's nothing to do but get drunk and tell stories about that one time when we all got drunk and shit was awesome.

r9k, however, is a poor substitute for actual companionship. So, to answer your question, yes I do feel I'm missing out on 'adulthood'.

I'm 33.
and it's pretty much this:
>lets me know how younger people see the world

>>7219700
How retarded are you? You've never been their age before? Old people move on, idiot.

I'm 25. I don't use /r9k/ very often because the threads are almost always boring pity parties or very transparent troll threads.

I use /mu/ to discover new music and /tv/ (though it sucks right now due to avatar, which is why I'm here).

I agree with the other guy who said it's amusing to see a young person's perspective on life. As you get older, you learn to RELAX and not worry about all the bullshit life throws at you.

Just turned 24 a couple days ago, been on 4chan since I was 18. I'm still as lonely and miserable as ever (probably even more so now that I'm done with college and all my coworkers are married).

>>7219681

Move to California, bro. Plenty of retards down here are eking out a living on minimum wage. Move near L.A. and you'll have more socialization than you could ever want!

>>7219723
>bbbbaw there's old people in my super sekrit clubhouse

A lot of you guys seem to think that after age 30 your brain goes through some kind of shift that makes you want to just watch the weather channel all the time or something.

Don't worry junior, you'll understand when you're older. :3

So what you guys are saying is that even this board belongs to the kids, and the twenty-somethings that still go here are like that toothless fry-cook Helga that has stayed loyal to her shit job for thirty years because she is too scared and ugly to leave.
Okay then.
I'm definitely doing something wrong.

Welcome to 4chan.

I've been wasting my time on message boards of various kinds for over 12 years now.

4chan is small time.

>>7219747

I've heard this before. I actually have a job waiting for me down there if I decide to move. Can any LA fags confirm/deny that the city is worth it?

>>7219700 here
Forgot to answer the other questions

>You get dates by now, right?
I'm married so I guess that would be a yeah.

>do you feel like you're missing out on adulthood?
Nope. But then I don't live in my parents' basement/possess a neck beard.

>>7219792

I think the only problem I seem to have with older 4channers is that I never sit with any one website for more than a few months. I've stayed on 4chan longer than anything (3 years, I think), but I still can't see myself dicking around on here when I'm 30.

I can't even imagine coming to 4chan anymore after I turn 21. I will be out at bars and other peoples' places drinking and being a reckless asshole. I will be surprised if I'm still alive by the time I turn 22.

23.

July '86 birthdaysss, holllaaaaa.

I'm 37 next March

>>7219723

How exactly would you know?

Age is a train that only goes one way, son. Sometimes a man likes to look back and see where he's been.
Sometimes a man likes to give a little advice to someone going through what he went through.
Sometimes a man likes to remember what it was like to be young. You forget that, you go dead inside.

I think some of you kids believe that your lives are so miserable than anyone who isn't a lonely failure would never want to talk to you. It's not true.

>>7219646
I'm on a forum with a 18-21 year old userbase and there are some 30 somethings on the forum, they're exactly the same as any other member, you wouldn't really guess they were older, maybe a little more polite but they're just the same. Some aren't that intelligent though.

i think there are a lot of people over 25 on 4chan

fucking kids just think they own everything

31 here

>>7219827

After spending a few ten-thousand dollars at bars, you'll stop going out.

>>7219851
I believe that. I think that people can smell my social failure on me, even though I look and act normal. Pleasant, even. I feel like as soon as I leave the room, the person thinks "I don't like her. I don't know why, but something is off."

>>7219881
>buys most of his drinks at the bar

haha, you're doing it wrong

>>7219851
This. You guys are really hard on yourselves.

26 here. I've felt too old to be on 4chan for years now, but where else am I gonna go when I just feel like dicking around and talking shit on the internet anonymously? Anyway, I multitask -- no cool threads around and I'm back to facebook or somewhere else for a few minutes.

As for "missing out on adulthood", it's not like I waste all day on the internet anymore like I did during my early college hermitage. Just in the evenings on weeknights, weekend afternoons, etc.

It's weird when I see fucking 15 year olds here, though. Kids born in 1995 calling me a faggot? I lost my virginity when they were still shitting in the bathtub, and that's fucked up.

>>7219896

>I think that people can smell my social failure on me, even though I look and act normal.

Mostly it's just nerves. Everybody tries to pretend they have no anxieties, and then that means that some poor people like you, who are just maybe an iota less confident, a little less good at reading people, *believe* that facade... and end up thinking you're the only one with doubts.

Best advice I can give you is take some risks. Everyone whose opinions you're worried about is just as worried as you.

28. It depresses me when I'm reminded of how many high schoolers are here.

I felt too old at about when I turned 25 a few weeks ago.

I'm still here because I'm a loser.

22 here. I have a job, yet I still feel like I have to learn about socialization. The threads on here are more interesting to me than the conversations I hear around me. I don't understand where people go in this abyss once they grow out of 4chan.

>I don't understand where people go in this abyss once they grow out of 4chan.

alcoholism

>>7219908

No, because I have MONEY, you wretched poorfag.

>>7220068
you don't look cool by calling people poorfags, you just look like an idiot for buying the same shit for more money. that's like buying a mac and calling everyone who doesn't a poorfag. you're just a lazy baby

>>7220095

You don't understand.

I have money, so I don't CARE about the couple of pennies 30 gallons of mixed drinks costs at a bar, dipshit.

it's more than a few pennies, but whatever. i just choose to spend my money more wisely.

>>7220134

...and I don't have to be wise.

Sure, I'd never touch the money I use for investments, but the spill-over profits that cannot be re-invested might as well be consumed.

>>7220108

Lol, but you just mentioned that you stopped going to the bar after spending a couple thousand. If you really didn't care about the money you wouldn't have even mentioned how you stopped going out after stupidly spending a bunch of money because the only place you manage to have fun while fueling your addiction was a bar.

>>7220206

That's why I said a few ten-thousands.

How often do you think that was, dummy?

For that matter, why do you care?

>>7220273

I don't care, you are the only one who cares. Someone pointed out that you had spent a lot of money at the bar and you got all defensive, I'm merely pointing out the inconsistencies out of boredom. I don't understand why you still care, you are anonymous, you have no reputation to protect... and yet here you are fiercely defending a couple of mis-worded posts.

33 with nearly 2yrs service to anon. Am educated, have enough money, have a 25yr old gf. We're approaching 8yrs anniversary. Not that either of us care for such formalities. We met at uni. I'm struggling with a physics phd thesis. She's a sound engineer and earns loads. She's very laidback about everything. Except her stripey knee length socks which she refuses to remove except when showering. She's even odder than I am but has more friends.

Started on /b/ but once you've lol'd at all the retrospective threads (which are actually funny), it's just re-runs and mind numbing shite. I still go there sometimes and to /x/ occasionally, especially if i'm looking for new horror to watch.

r9k is, shockingly, the best place I've found on the net for general, non-professional discussion (with some occasional humour) that moves faster than a snails pace. I take the hate with a pinch of salt - people just venting instead of shooting. Seems healthy.

17 and reaching the age of majority in 2 ish months D: D: D: D: D:

Gonna leave this site once I'm actually allowed to post here.

how has nobody commented on OP's weird as fuck image?

>>7220294

No, you're dragging out a 15 second post from an hour ago into a conversation.

You're the one who cares, you see.

If you didn't care, you'd drop it.

>>7220410

Except I am just reading through the thread now and found that post by clicking on links referred to in the posts you were arguing with. I've been a here a total of about 6 minutes... you upon admission have been here for around an hour or so... and are arguing about whether or not you are poor or rich on 4chan... you also add fag to the end of your posts even though you are exactly the kind of person that addition is meant to deride. Fuck off richfag.

>>7220410
he cares because it's fucking retarded. i didn't even realize that you were the samefag that posted it, because there's no way anyone could possibly complain about spending money at a bar and then call someone poorfag when they don't. if i was a richfag like you claim to be, i sure as hell wouldn't be spending time arguing with people on 4chan. i would hardly ever come to this shithole

>>7220349

so she was 17 and you were 25? nice

>>7220455

I'm back again.

So you -DO- care.

I thought so.

Good for you, it's good to care about something.

>>7220463

You care -TOO-?

How -WONDERFUL- for you.

I applaud your interests.

Smagradulations.

>>7220484

Well at least you care that I care... which is a great way to put a lid on that box that you just put yourself in... now hold still while I write richfag all over your little box... how cute. You don't seem to want to get out at all.

Also 22, and I don't feel old. I'm here because I like anonymous posting and the occasional interesting thread.

>>7220472

She still looks that age. I look very young too, thankfully. I usually get ID'd which makes me lol.

>>7220519
he's obviously not rich. he just likes to argue

>>7220519
>>7220508

You two are sad. Call a caring truce.

turning 26 this year. hopefully this place will still be here when i turn 30.

>>7220519

Why the fuck are you still on about this shit?

fuck this

GOD EXISTS!

PROVE ME WRONG!

>>7219483
I'm 29, and believe it or not, even with a full life, you can still manage to have enough to waste a little bit. I probably spend 20 minutes on here a day, if that.

>>7220554

thet r a lugical phallicy!

>>7220535

Of course he's not rich... if he was he'd probably have not even thought twice about his expenditures at the bar... but he wants everyone to think he's rich because he's not afraid to trhow away money after he worked hard and made smart investments to earn it... lol does that even make any sense??? The money I invest whenever I make a profit I re-invest. The whole point of investing is making your money work for you so you have to work less, not fueling a crappy socially accepted addiction. But don't worry I definitely think richfag is rich, he's got smart cunt written all over him.

God says: "Adulthood is a phallusy!"

i am 12 and what in the holy lightning of Zeus is going on in that picture

I don't care what this thread is about but what's going on in that picture.

Meh, Adluthood is like being a teenager, but your back hurts.

I'm 22 you fucking faggot, and this thread made me feel bad.

Seriously though, I think /r9k/ belongs to the 20 somethings. We're the ones that suffer from the ronery and all that. If anything, 18 year olds are abnormal in thier youngness on this board.

I feel that I'm with my peers when I post here, not with normalfag highschool kids, like on /b/

Soo, -ARE there any people who consider themselves to be mature ITT?

Not adult mind you. You get that one for free with time.

The "Mewt: From modesty to animosity" was just closed. But not 404ed, as if to gloat at modpower.

This is the kind of thing that has forced me to leave other fourms/boards. Pointless closing down of discussion.

I've been here about 2 years but I'd leave in an instant if this continues. I'm already considering it.

SAD EGOMODS.
