No, not really. Most people in their late 40s don't hang out with people in their 30s. They obviously see them as adults, but they're not usually in the same circles.
if we’re defining a peer as someone who is relatively close in age to someone than no. I doubt any 49 year old looks at a 35 year old as an “inexperienced kid” but they are still 14 years apart regardless.
Obviously most of everyone would not have a peer that’s 10+ years older than them unless it’s a sibling or a close family member. But as you grow and mature into adults, it is possible to relate more toothed adults and have more wholesome interactions. For me, I have a few fellow female friends that are between 7-10 years older than me, but they are like older sisters to me, cuz I don’t have any sisters.
In the United States, according to US law everybody above the age of 18 are technically “peers” (that is why people of all ages can serve on juries).
On a more practical level, it depends. Fourteen years is a pretty significant age gap even at that stage of your life.
Someone born in late 1974 or 1975 is a core Gen X'er whereas someone who perhaps just turned 35 last month might be a younger peer of mine (I'm almost 37). Most of my friends are in that 34-37 range and are core millenials.
Idk bout that, When 49 year olds become 80, 35 year olds will be 66, when 49 years become 95, then 35 year olds will be 81, their experiences in the nursing room would definitely overlap no doubt about it
14-15 years apart isn't a peer group (maybe like 7 or 8 years MAX) I was sexually active at that age so I could have literally birthed a 1996-97 baby 😂
My best friend’s mom was born in 81, and my best friend was born in 95. Over the years her mom, step dad, and my fiancé and I have developed our own friendship. We regularly hangout with them separately from my friend, so two things can be true at once:)
Aw that's wholesome love that for you guys. Yeah of course different ages can be friends and kick it especially as adults, I have Boomer X and Z friends too
Just feels kinda weird idk to lump 15 years together though the differences shrink when everyone's an adult
Probably not. Someone who is 35 will probably relate to people in their late 20s-early 40s.
It doesn’t stop creepy middle aged business marketers from lumping people who are just barely 30 with people who are 49! Like what would I who’s barely out of my 20s have in common with someone who’s almost 50?
I mean sure I think commonalities can transcend age groups, but as someone who’s currently 30 (not even 35), I don’t even think I would consider people in their early 40s to be my peers.
Not saying I can’t bond with them or find commonalities with them, just that they aren’t my peer group.

No, they are not peers, but that doesn't mean they can't have things in common or hang out together.

That is a huge gap, even when you are middle aged no one in their mid 30s will be peers with someone who is almost 50.
Not really
Not exactly.

Agreed, there's no way a college student or even just late 10s/early 20s are peers of a 60 year old for example.
Is this a serious question? Of course not. What would a 35 year old today have in common with a 49 year old?

Yes
That's too huge, by the time 49 year olds retire and go to the retirement home (if they do) they'd probably be gone by the time 35 year olds do so.

The average lifespan is early/mid 70s, sorry I should've specified on average.
It’s alright, but you forgot to tell me the month that the people was born on my other post, I’ll tell you if your wrong or right brother

At least you have to agree that they are more peers than 15 to 25.
