If you want friends your age, go to places where they would hang out. College, bars, fish stores........ If you cant find friends on your own, the intenet isnt a better place.
.....whats wrong with meeting people with similiar interests!?!?

He did not say anything about age, just interest in fish.
Nor did he say that he could not find friends, just that this forum might be a place to meet some new ones.
I have talked to several people here of at least two sexes, several religions, varied races, and many professions and backgrounds. If they were local I would probably want to meet them in person. Then again, there are some I would not.
One thing I would like everyone to bear in mind is how you would feel if you were new to this site and expressed an interest in meeting some fellow members, then had a pile of virtual feces dumped on your head instead.
It was rude and immature.
Play nice or don't play.
