I would like to meet people near my age group and wonder if I would make friends being younger than the average age at TV. I still work from home, but want to get involved in a positive community and outgoing individuals. Please note, I enjoy all age groups, but I want to know your thoughts on the younger side and the opportunities to meet and 'belong' to the community. Also, any thoughts on where location wise (I have scoured the website and hard to decide if new or current homes are best) for a younger community. Any thoughts in general to assist me would be helpful. I have downloaded the ebook on TV, and plan to spend the month of April getting a better feel for locations.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
much appreciated, Tracy

I am 48. I live in TV as a reverse snowbird (June through Dec). Most people are very friendly and open to meeting new people despite your age. You will run into some people who will come right out and ask you:
1. Do you live here?
2. You are renting,right?
3. Do you own a house here?
I have learned to smile and reply in most cases, "Yes, I do live here and I own two houses. The wonders of Oil of Olay!!"
I find if people are interested in getting to know me, they like what they see. If not, oh well. I love TV and everything it offers. I have been very welcome at Ladies Golf on Wednesday mornings at Churchhill and the Backgammon Club is full of geniuses!
I think if you have a positive and friendly attitude it will take you far in this wonderful place!
P.S. Don't talk politics at the pool... Peace out!
