So if you haven't seen it here's the latest poll: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/07/poll-results-what-should-hasbros-new.html#more

 

Anywho, I'm fascinated by headcanons and there reasons/explanations. The mane 6 ages are one my faves. So why did you answer how you did? Is it their size, mannerisms, responsibilities? Go forth and discuss!

I voted 18-20. Their bodies are full-sized but they act like young adults, except for Pinkie.

She acts like she's under ten.

I'd have to say I put them roughly 20-22 because they don't seem to be teens in relation to other ponies in their own world. They seem more like young adults. Maybe it has to do with their somewhat independent statuses. I can't imagine them being older though. When I first saw Twilight I imagined her as that perfectionist college student that decided to go on past 4 years honors and all. I think part of the poll results has to do with the ages of bronies themselves. The statistical peak for our ages is right in the 16-23 range if I recall the last census data correctly. So blame age projection.

Their catagories were not quite right for me because my answer has and always be 19-23

I've always said they're somewhere between eighteen and early twenties (I picked 18-20). They're old enough to be done schooling, yet responsible enough to work and live on their and and have their own place.

I think they're young adults, old enough to be independent, but young enough to still learn lessons and whatnot. So, I'd guess 22-25?

20-22

I think that 18-20 is too young for a princess to be making big decisions. I think they're about 20-22

I'd say between 20-24 (I know I'm cheating). The reason for this is because of this scene from Pinkie Pride:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this image, Rainbow Dash's cake is shown 21 candles. Considering how fanon has Rainbow Dash among if not the youngest of the mane 6, this likely indicates that the rest of the mane 6 is likely in their early 20's and at oldest mid 20's.

I say they range from 19-22. Pinkie pie being the youngest at 19 or 20 (that sort of explains her personality), Rainbow,Flutters, and Twi being 21. Applejack and Rarity being 22 because they already operate buisnesses. and spike is 9
