Age is a NUMBER!!! I have friends who are teenagers all the way to elders. Who the f*** care about age! You might learn a lot from a mother who already have kids when you're young. That's HOW a FORUM works, period.

There was a young couple that lived at my condo and everyone was glad when they moved , I missed them . There was little girl that visit them and I talked to her when she visit , she was vey wise for a little girl . One of my best friend was almost 30 years older than me. When I was health aide I loved to hear my 80 -100 yo clients talk about their childhoods . I learned something new all the time.
 
Age does matter for some, for other it doesn't. It depends on who you're talking to. :)

I definitely have friends who are both older and younger than me. My running partner is 34 and I met her in undergrad. My favorite photographer friend to talk with has white hair... somewhere around age 60. But at the same time chatting about life with someone who doesn't know what they want to do with their life can be frustrating because they're much more focused on frat parties and "younger" things. Older people are harder to relate to sometimes because I can't talk about my experience with marital problems or a settled life. I get excited about talking about finding my first house with my boyfriend or the latest development with my new business photographing engaged couples, maternity, or a new offer to photograph for MTV (my clients are also young and the artists I photograph relate to younger populations)... or a personal best while I train for a half marathon. These are things that my age group relates to best. I search these things and MOST of the people who are in those searches are closer to my age.

Like I said, I understand the OP, and I think finding people you relate to CAN be closer to your age. It's a good start, but searching for terms under "new mom" or "parenting" or topics you like is better if that's what you think your life is about.

Then you're cutting yourself off from life experience an older person can offer to you. Maybe you can understand the OP but she is being very unrealistic to think she can join this forum or any forum and only have people from her age group response to her posts.

Maybe so , but this forum is open to people of all ages and to come here and only want a certain age group to answer your comments is not being realistic . I looked up forums for 20's and found a lot . But the OP does not want any help from people over 22 yo .
 
Yes, forums are open for all ages to participate... it's always good thing to learn from people from all ages. Some members are picky about ages, some not. Age doesn't bother me, and it's always good to learn a thing or two from them. :)

And she has a hard time navigating anything, so we wont show her the links as she doesn't want our opinions/advice.

Agree and disagree. I think that the point of a forum IS to talk to everyone. As long as you're in public forums you always have to assume that everyone can see everything. Half the time I want to learn new things from new people and the other half of the time I enjoy relating to people... and when I want to relate to people (young or old, but more similar to me) that's when I private message them :)

I am talking about the post that everyone one can see , yes people can send private messages ,but please keep in mind that a person may not be 22 yo . So if anyone is planning on meeting anyone they on line chat with on any forum they should meet in a public place and bring friends with you .
I do not want to see the OP get hurt or worst as she said she is looking for a friend and I don't have to tell you what can happen .
