See OP

I'm 37 and a 5 tps is do-able for me.

Since when do we post sup 1 PLLs to show off? Only sub 1 PLLs are even remotely impressive. That's like saying people post sub 20 times to show off.

Defensive much? Regardless of whether or not it was 'showing off', none of it should have been in this thread. The OP never asked for, nor does he remotely care about, the times 12-15 year olds can get on an F perm. There aren't many conclusions that can be drawn for why so many of that age group are posting their times: they want to seek attention, as cowabunga assumed, and/or they simply have no reading comprehension capabilities.

I posted a time for F-perm. I'm not a kid. My point of doing it was to show that one can be "older" and still be decently fast.

oh yes meant to include you in my previous post.. I appreciate your further confirming that "olderish" people (like me ) can still achieve decent tps.

Or everyone else is doing it and they think that's what you are supposed to do.

Trust me, none of us is seeking attention or showing off, I won't even go into detail about how ridiculous that is.

So then, a combination of having no reading comprehension skills or an ability to think for themselves. You're just making this look even better.

But you have to realize that from the point of view of the OP, these 2-second F perms (which fast cubers wouldn't find remotely impressive) do seem like showing off, regardless of actual intent. If I make a post saying that I can do something at a certain speed and ask for advice or thoughts, and numerous people start posting how they can do better, without any response to the actual question at hand, I'm going to view it as showing off, even if those faster times aren't particularly impressive from the point of view of faster cubers.
