What is the age range of your friends ?

think my oldest friend did work at salvation army charity shop and she was 93. but friends mid 70's ...aunty who is 86 and another who is 90....both in full health//lots of friends at church who are in their 80's. and jesus who is ancient but never changes...

Most of mine are between 64-69. I’m 64. I’d actually like to meet a few more of different ages so plan to try new activities once lockdown is finished.

Mine closer friends (I have no really close friends - my choice) are from mid 30s to around 70ish. I am probably the oldest at 75 but some are less able. Some seem much older in outlook. My OH is 52.

Anyone over 70 walking or shopping during lockdown? I’d really like to take a walk but it bothers me. I’m almost 74 and my 22 year old granddaughter lives with me

Friends at work range from 26 and one of closest friends is 73 just 3 years younger than my mum, but years different in most ways, quite a few in 50s like I am.x

44 - 86, actual friends

My closest friend , who I met on an online group about 12 years ago is, at 63, is 12 years younger than me. But we are very close and consider that we are sisters that we chose for ourselves. She has been wonderful since my diagnosis and even came to stay and filled up my freezer with meals she had cooked before I started chemotherapy. She has also be very kind to my husband and has talked to him when he has had problems about my health so he considers her a good friend of his too. I still have a lot of online friends from that same group some of whom I have met and some not. They keep in touch by messenger to see how I am which is lovely. The friends I have locally are mainly around my age with a few younger ones. But since my diagnosis I have come to realise that they are not really friends but acquaintances who have since faded away. I think what an ealier poster said about friends needing to have similar values and core principles is true. When living abroad the people you are "friends" with you might not have as friends if you were living in your home country.

Most of mine are the same or similar ages (65) - one I have known since we were 8 another since we both moved onto a new estate in our late 20's although we lost touch for over 30 years and only found each other again quite by chance 3 years ago. When we moved into our present house we were one of the youngest couples in the road - 33 years later neighbours have come and gone and now we're the oldest

I`ve never really given it a thought until now.
I`m 59 and my friends age`s range from 30 to early 70`s.
We all get on really well.

I am 53 and while I do have friends my own age, my 3 closest friends are in their early thirties. I met 2 when I was working in 2 separate jobs and the other at an evening university. I used to remark that it was weird, but they each told me not to be silly. I am now godmother to 2 toddlers plus my own grandson who is soon to be 2 years old. In short, I couldn't be happier.

I have friends of all ages and both sexes.

My male friends, are aged from 30 to 61.
My female friends are aged from 29 to 96.

I would say that most of my local friends are between 5 and 15 years younger than me on average, but many (especially those that have lived with me) are under 40.

I,m in my late sixties and most of my friends are in their fifties we've all holidayed together and in February I,m going to Cambodia with my close friend who is early fifties.
My friends at the yard where I keep my horse are in their teens and twenties and we've gone on horse holidays together
It's only my dog walking friends who are a similar age but we are a naughty group of pensioners who all have difficulty acting the way our kids seem to think we should.

My friends are in their late fifties, sixties, seventies up to eighty. They're all different and I don't think they'd all get on with each other!

I'm in my sixties.

I’m 65 and without thinking about it would have said that all my friends are around my age. But having thought about it they’re nearly all older, a few in their 80s. There are also a few in their 50s. It’s great and I just feel so lucky to have them. Thankyou for starting this thread NanKate.

I am in my early sixties n have friends from 40,s 50., 62.66

And both sexes.

Between 27 and 82. Love them all.

My many friends vary in ages but have a lot round my age (70) who share my interests.
I know someone in her 60s who has NO friends at all-can’t understand it myself! It takes effort though to make and keep friends doesn’t it?

My friends were all older than me as a result I have out lived them all!

I'm 60, still working (part-time). My youngest friend is 38, married with a 6-year-old. She frequently asks my advice about health, kids, etc. My oldest friend is 62.

My closest friends are around my age, 65, as we met at the school gates in the mid-80s. Other friends who I socialise with regularly are nursing colleagues, book club, bridge, and they range from 40-60s.

I'm mid fifties and my friends range from their thirties to their eighties. I think this is healthy.

I have an on line friend through GN we write most days, and have a very nice confidential friendship, which I appreciate,I am older but it doesnt matter at all. Age makes no difference.

When we moved here six yearsago, we were informed by a neighbour (who looks up everything) that we were the oldest in our little community, charming! This remains the same, my friends have all age ranges, but generally these days I am the oldest, at 78 I dont expect that will change, but it keeps me young having younger friends,and doesnt worry me.

I really don't often think about ages. I usually make friends with folk who share interests and views on life whatever their age.
I'm in an older yoga group now because I couldn't keep up so that was a bruise to my ego!!
I have people in their 20s and 80s who I would call friends.
I am 71.
My in-laws are mid 90s so they definitely keep us going young.
Then the 7 wonderful DGC who range from babies to teens.
