Oldest/Youngest Friend
 

How old is your oldest friend? How old is your youngest friend? Do you prefer friends to be older, younger, or around the same age as yourself? Advantages/disadvantages of having friends in a certain age category?

My oldest is 32. My youngest is 19. I some how tend to bond with people who are either a couple years younger (early 20s) or a couple years older (late 20s/early 30s) than myself. I tend to get the least out of friendships from people who are the same age...especially at this point in my life, but it's been that way for a long time.

oldest...? um i guess late 40's... always good for advice
youngest? like 18 i guess...
i used to be better friends with ppl that were older than me (i was an only child and grew up with adults)
but when i got into college, i had many more friends that were my age (or within a few years), i guess its been that way for the last 6 years or so....
advantages- they know what you are going through and can lean on for support
disadvantages- doesn't have the more life experience and might not give advice that is better fitting for the situation...

i'm 23 btw

Oldest: Somewhere in their 40s.
Youngest: Around 21 or 22.

I am 33.

My grandmother is my oldest friend and she's 95. My youngest little friend who I love dearly is my ~3 year old nephew.

I am late 30's...

I love this question
 

My oldest friend (not a relative, BTW) is 78.
I treat all adults as equals -- call them by their first names, etc. -- Most older friends appreciate being thought of as contemporaries.

My youngest is 27.

Oldest- like 70
Youngest- like 16

It's hard for me to say, because I go to one of those churches where everyone is an old friend the minute you walk in. Of the ones I hang out with on a regular basis, there's a couple of 15 year olds in the choir I'm in, and upper 40's in the moms group.

I'm 23, most of my best friends are like 25, 26.

Oldest: early 40s
Youngest: 16

I'm 33.
