You reply in the comments, and i try to guess your age based on a short conversation we have. That's it!

That's nice that you still have a group of people surrounding you. So I'm guessing you're quite satisfied with the way things are going? You aren't really looking for any change at the moment?

Hmmm, how many questions do you get?

Ummm yes I'm pretty happy. Leaving work is largely responsible for that. There is some stress. I'm married and my partner wants to move. I want to stay.

That was actually the last one i was going to ask. I think I now have enough information to make a guess. You're 44 years old

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not really that close. Would you like to keep going or should I confess?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

🙆 at this point just tell me

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok. I'm 58. I think your actually pretty good at this. I think I come across as younger, on paper. Also, thanks for the compliment.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How are you 58? And you still do zoom calls with your high school buddies? That's some real dedication there brother. Some of your answers really threw me off here.

Thanks for the compliment, but i don't think I'm really good at this. I've made about six guesses so far, and have only been really close twice

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well I think I would have guessed in my 40's for me as well. Plus hitting it right on the head would be hard. I think you properly guessed I wasn't real young.

It does take some dedication. I really like having friends and I feel sorry for people who have no one to turn to to help them or go to a movie with or play games. I'd like to think I'm young at heart. I don't know if I am, but I would be sad if I didn't have any buddies. Plus my wife and I don't share a lot of the same interests, so I need someone else to fill that spot at times.

Keep practicing.

I think you've inspired me to put a little bit more effort into the friendships i currently have.

Thanks for playing man
