So, I was binge-watching "Love on the Spectrum" the other day, you know, just casually trying to understand the human condition through the lens of Netflix's most heartwarming reality show. And there I was, wiping away a tear (or two, or five) after watching Tanner and his charming self on screen, when it suddenly hit me - how old is this guy, anyway?
I mean, I know age is just a number, and love knows no boundaries, but I'm a curious cat, and I just had to know. So, I did what any millennial would do - I hit up Google. And guess what? The interwebs were surprisingly tight-lipped about Tanner's age. I mean, come on, Google! You've got the answer to every stupid question under the sun, but you can't tell me how old Tanner is?
But then, I remembered, I'm not just a consumer of information, I'm a creator. So, I decided to do some old-fashioned detective work. I dug through interviews, episodes, and even Tanner's social media (yes, I went there). And you know what? I found some clues. Now, I'm no Nancy Drew, but I'm pretty sure I've got this figured out.

So, how old is Tanner?
Alright, so here's what we know. Tanner is from Melbourne, Australia. He's a software engineer, which is like, super smart, right? He's also a self-proclaimed "Aspie," which means he's on the autism spectrum. He's got a great sense of humor, a heart of gold, and he's looking for love. But how old is he?
Now, here's where it gets interesting. In one of the episodes, Tanner mentions that he's been working for about five years. He also mentions that he started working right after he finished high school. So, let's do some math here. If Tanner started working at 18 (the legal working age in Australia), and it's been about five years since he started, that would make him around 23 or 24 now. But remember, this is just a guess based on the information we have.
But here's the thing, folks. Does it really matter how old Tanner is? I mean, sure, it's fun to know these things, but what's really important is that Tanner is out there, being his awesome self, and looking for love. And you know what? That's something we can all relate to, no matter what our age is.

Why the secrecy, Tanner?
Now, I've got to address the elephant in the room. Why is Tanner's age such a mystery? I mean, it's not like he's trying to hide it. He just doesn't seem to mention it much. Maybe he's one of those people who doesn't really care about age. Maybe he's just focused on other things. Or maybe, just maybe, he's trying to keep us guessing. I mean, it would make for some great reality TV, right?
But in all seriousness, I think it's great that Tanner is out there, being himself, and not getting caught up in the whole "age thing." I mean, age is just a number, right? It's what's inside that really counts. And Tanner, my friend, you've got a heart of gold.
