Foolish thing to ask? I think it was a fun post but you are correct, not everyone can be clumped into a group...hence some think it's fun and some think it's foolish.

Yes, Gracie, your description fits us to a "T" 💕 We are very happy and content here. We have a busy social life, enjoy golf, have made friends, mourned friends who passed, have a lovely home and are grateful for every day.

How about white socks with sandals, plaid shorts with suspenders, stripped shirt and a truckers cap that says grandpa

As a whole, I'd say Villagers are happy to be here and have worked hard to reach this juncture in their lives. Other than that, there is a true diversity of spirit, opinions, beliefs. There is a similarity in basic tenets, morals.

One thing for sure. The typical Villager does not speak with a Southern accent.

Talking Active Seniors

When I mention The Villages to people who may not be familiar with the area, I call it an area for "Active Seniors."

"How would You Describe A Typical Villager?" Seems at first blush a self absorbing question. It also appears at minimum to be stereotyping ...its like saying how would you describe a typical Irishman, Italian, Catholic Protestant, Jew , etc.......... Human beings are much more complicated than that.

Well, after having a couple of posts in this thread disappear...I'll try to do better on this one.

Although it almost never happens, in this case I agree with Rubicon...and he actually said the same thing I said in my other posts.

In other words, it really boils down to...

And I'll leave it at that.

Typical Villager. Liberal, sober to a fault, drives to the letter of the law, always well mannered, and will give up seat to anyone late ariving at the squares.
