Thank you for not making me Sheridan.
I think we tend older, I also think the average age on the site is rising by about a year each year it goes on. Not a lot of new blood here.

I was also called a game snob for hating on Apples to Apples.

Think you were doing well until you mentioned Josh Look (bloody noisy whippersnapper)
Oh, yeah - I started feeling old quite a while ago.

I don't think this site skews older than BGG. I think, in general, "hobby" gamers just tend to be in their 30s-50s. That's who I mostly see out at local public events, anyways.
I'm 45, and today was noting, as Stone Temple Pilots came on the radio, that the song was 25 years old.
Smells Like Teen Spirit was an older song to kids graduating from high school in '16 than Stairway to Heaven was to me when I graduated. That realization was the first time I ever felt kinda old.

I think you could do a lot worse than Apples to Apples. I'd rather watch Chopped reruns than play Mexican Train dominoes, which is about as an exciting a game as a lot of my family will play. I'm not convinced that's even a game.

I definitely think age is a factor, just based on what games were popular at formative times of your life. Not the sole factor, as there are plenty of cube-pushers in their 40s.
