As M.Elizabeth said, some people are just obnoxious in general. Maybe some others think you'll get bored and stop soon because when they were you age, they would have. Maybe they just don't think they have anything in common with you. And then we're back to obnoxious.
Keep looking for the right group, or create one yourself. I bet you aren't the only person in your area to feel this way!
This is my thought, too! I was in my early 60s and found the local quilt guild was NOT accepting of ANYONE -- no matter what age. Oh, but they always invite you, but when you're there, it's like you have bad breath or body odor. The classic was telling me the place to sit was "someone else's chair".....then I moved, and THAT was someone else's chair. I gave up and never went back!!! I started a group --- ask your local quilt shop if you can post for "young quilters" to join your guild!!!! I bet they'll be happy to!!! Even if you have one other to meet at your home....it'll be fun!
