I score 39.4 yrs at realage.com but I'm not so sure the questionnaire was recording correctly. It kept asking me what meds I take for ADD/HD. Huh?

Now, if you think these companies normally are shady, then that's a different thing. But to think big companies like Toshiba, SBC, GTE, Vanguard, Washington Mutual and other company websites that may offer some sort of free service like calculators that calculate home mortgage payments, are spammers or spy distributors, I think you are dead wrong.


And you may very well be right. But you are comparing apples to oranges here. I'm all for mortgage calculators and the like which serve a usefull purpose and may help you in your decision as to where to finance your home, etc. But what does that have in common with an "Age Calculation Game"? There is no indication on the linked page that directly tells you who is hosting the page, or what it's reason is other than pure entertainment.

An "Age Calculation Game" is not a financial calculator, no matter how thinly you slice the baloney.

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Not to jump in the middle of your debate here, but "age" calculators are important if you were say, buying life insurance.  Or planning for retirement (all these 90+ers better be socking a lot away today!).  These are in fact the products NW Mutual sells.  And the game has no info about the host because it is a pop-up window which you can only get to through their website unless you have the direct link.  Try their other "games" here.

Oh, And I'm either 89 or 91.  Depends if I keep eating enough fruit & veggies.

I'm really 32 but on realage, they said my 'real age' was 33.5

I guess it's not that much difference so that's good.

At least you are younger than your real age by several years. That's pretty good.

82.  Normally I'd say wooohooo!  But...that seems low compared to the 'peer group' here.  I only get 2 years in the 80-84 AG before the tri where I don't finish the swim.

Okay, mine says 91.  Do you think they will allow walkers in the triathlons in 47 years or so?

I'm 24.7....Real Age says I'm 16.5...Does that mean I can't drink legally again? Does that mean I get to act like I'm in high school again?

Hmmm.... you know, I'm not sure I want to be reborn, but I wouldn't mind taking another crack at puberty.
