Default Are people here really that old?

Alot of you guys often make comments about how old you are. Are you guys exaggerating or ?
I've been wondering about this for a long time. I hope this is not offensive, I don't mean to be rude at all. Its just when I read the replies I picture you guys a very specific way and I dont know if its accurate.
I am in my late twenties btw

51.

I think that this platform of communication is comfortable to those of us of a certain age. Younger people tend to gravitate to other forms of social media. Those who end up here are often searching for answers to a problem, then are never heard from again once they get what they need.

Just a youngster @ 52, right after getting home from my first track day... felt like a piece of beef jerky!
