Members robbwolff Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 True. And gay men in this particular case. And that assessment is coming from a gay man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 I believe it. Look at who attends soap fan events. I have yet to see photos from any big soap fan event that was not dominated by a bunch of middle-aged women. For the record, I don't think of 30s as middle-aged. As to where they find the time, where does anyone find the time for obsessive fandom? I assume this is a big hobby, and they spent their non-working time on it. Personally I don't really understand going halfway across the country to a fan event, but people find the time and money to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 That is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 It is true. Just go on the Y&R FB page and take at look at some of the profiles of the people that are posting. Big Brother is the same way over their favorite contestants and couples (real and imagine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 I stand corrected. Convinced. They are older women. But Don Diamont though. How could they not care. Heck I am in my 30's and would have happily bone him. But maybe that's because I have been watching this show forever and still see him as I did when I was 13. LOL.

Members Antoyne Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 I see my point was made for me. Besides most teenagers are either in school or skipping school to do other things like not raising money to fly banners over soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 I find it sad that it's mostly middle aged women. Most of them are mothers. It's disgusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 Oh naw...I still think Lane fans are young'uns. And I do know that teens do participate in fandoms. Maybe not soaps so much as those shows on the CW and MTV. Tumblr is cesspool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 I still can't believe that Muhney's wife still hasn't slapped divorce papers on him. If that was my husband. I'd kick him in the nuts hard and then get a lawyer to draw up the papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 Most young'uns I know who see Y&R, care about Noah, Courtney, Fenmore, Summer and some of the vet characters their parents and grandparents also loved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 This wasn't a discussion about CW or MTV shows which are targeted at teens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't know any young'uns that care about those characters. They did care about Billy/Victoria and Adam/Chelsea. That's where I got my original point of reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajsp35801 Posted January 31, 2014 Members Share Posted January 31, 2014 Okay...because I thought someone wrote that teens and young adults don't participate in fandoms...that they are not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
