Ladies, what percentage of the hobbyists you see are in their twenties? What percentage in their thirties? Forties? Fifties? Sixties? Any percentage younger or older than these?
I suspect most of the hobbyists are over forty, but that is only a guess on my part.
Just trying to get a rough demographic view of the ages of hobbyists to satisfy my curiousity, not conduct a major research study. This topic has probably been discussed in the past, but if so I missed it.
Appreciate any relevant responses. Thank you!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
2% 18 - 21
23% 22-30
42% 31-40
28% 41-50
2% 51+
...2+23+42+28+2=97. I suppose if you say all the figures are rounded then that no doubt accounts for the discrepancy.
But perhaps instead we should call them under 18's. I started when I was 17, which looking back on it for me personally was a darned silly thing to do. Ah well, there you go.
the guys who RESPOND to the polls are mostly under 40. (I'm early 40s, and most ladies I see overwhelmingly tell me their clientele is mainly 45+)
. . . it represents the percentage of TER members who happens to be web-savvy enough to check the polls and who's bored enough to vote. . . like I do. . . occasionally. 
It is only after "a certain age" that men get to appreciate a lovely and mature woman and her skills and, parenthetically, arrive at a station in life where the hobby is financially realistic on a regular basis.
"Under forty, you don't have the money and over fifty you don't have the physical stamina, but in his forties, a man rises to his height of villany."
No truer words ever spoken.

. . . not everyone volunteers his age and not everyone looks their age.
But 90% gentlemen I am fortunate enough to meet are in their 40s and 50s and maybe early 60s (I'm guessing) and they are just heavenly. Like wine and Sean Connery, just gets better with age.
...does Thunderbird actually improve with time?
70% in the thirty's and forties
20% fifties and up
10% thirty and lower
I don't get very long engagements, my appointments are either for one or two hours.
This is how is for me:
20% = guys between 20 and 30. They want quick, fast paced PSE fucking with multiple finishes.
70% = guys between 30 and 50. They enjoy an energetic GFE hour with couple finishes without any rush.
10% = guys between 50 and 65. They like to take their time. They tend to book overnights or multiple hours engagements which includes going out for dinner and such.

Thanks to all who responded to my question, and particularly the ladies who shared info. As one respondent mentioned, it may be that we we older guys have the money to indulge. But we may also have an urgency to experience and enjoy while we still can! Anyway, thanks again.
40 and over... most in their 50's, but 60's and 70's too .... Older gentlemen are awesome!
