Has anyone met or fallen in love with their partner through MR?

Ouch.
I must confess I was far from the number. I put you at the range of 40-45.

Well, if it's any consolation, I look 40-45 . After a good night out .

@ orlok: see? you seem much younger. though astra is closer, he's still far from the truth

Now if all this age guessing led to someone falling in love, you'd all be on topic.

How do you know we haven't?

Spoiler:

A silly question. Do you know my age now? If yes, how?
(I know one way to know it, I am just curious )

OOOPS, nope can't read. I actually don't know your age, but I do know you're older than I thought (and I don't know if you should be flattered or insulted either ), but perhaps not as old as I was thinking. Maybe you're actually about a 15 years older than I thought.... Now I'm just confused.

Of course, I'm also the one who consistently guesses the wrong gender and pictures people as looking totally opposite of how they truly look. So...

@ astra: I guessed about your age when I was new here. It was close to your real age. For some reasons your avatars are helpful: I have a feeling that Stitchawl is much older than you astra, the age of JSWolf and Beppe are close to astra's, Blues might be younger than Stitchawl but just a little and her age may be close to WT Sharpe's, GeoffC's and ProfCrash'. Grace Krispy's age is somewhere between astra's and Blues', maybe nearer to Blues' than to astra's...

just a feeling

Holy crap, you have me pegged wrong (I think, I hope, if I'm understanding this complex algebraic equation correctly). Would really help my tired brain if you'd put numbers on those guesses....

I got confused too.
IIRC a sum of all the digits in my age equals 2 in binaries or 10 in decimal

Anyway, any goodreads member can guess it I guess

It's really funny when you have met several different people from your "online" world; that the imagine you 've created of themselfs in your mind usually is totally different of what they really are. This, in a very positive and sometimes bizarre? way...

I mean, for example some people from my University I first talked to them througyh some "unoficial" University Forums; it's funny because I didn't know any of them I wouldn't even have any contact with them.
But we meet once a week (usually friday nights) to go play football and have some drinks later.

I mean, we all study different careers, and have no subjects in common, except a few who are studying the same career (Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, etc, etc)
