If super-infecting makes us stronger, would it also slow our aging more? If the slayer History thing is true then the vampires really long ago should have had a really long life span right?

Just a thought what do you think @steve? You said you have met 3 out of the 5 oldest and strongest living vampires is this implying that they're aging slower due to so many super-infections?

I bet Martha Stewart knows some crazy shit. That woman is in her seventies chillin' with Snoop Dog, huffing Helium, and she still looks 49! I'm playing. Kinda.

It makes sense to me. if I remember correctly, regular humans had shorter lifespan back then, and if the super infection made vampire lifespan longer then that would be also where the source of the immortality myth came from. This is just a theory I got after reading your pos here.

true, good point. I'm still waiting for Steve's response though I mean he did meet the 3 out of the 5. He would know for sure. If it is true then that would be so cool.

Yeah, it slows aging, by a lot. I won't give my exact age until I'm more comfortable here but, I do have a great grandchild and, I still get carded to buy alcohol and, sometime even for cigarettes. I guess that says something about how young I appear to be.

A great grandchild wow....that's cool. My great grandfather whom I think was a vampire lived to be 94 never knowing what he was (that's what I think).

My 3 greats grandfather lived to 101, great great grandfather to 97, great aunt to 107, my grandfather is still alive at 103. I expect to live well beyond 100 because I am over half way there now and yet, for how I feel, I am 25 to 35 and, look close to the low end of that.
Of course being born one, then allowing another to infect me as well has made me a bit unique I suppose, though my eldest granddaughter looks to be 13 or 14 and, is 18, with a child of her own. Yes she is a vampire as well, as is my son, now 31.
As I mentioned in another thread, there are many in my family tree, just depends on how far back you want to look and, count vampires. Since the late 1600's we, as a family have acknowledged that openly among ourselves and, in family records kept by family members, before that, vampires were among us of course, but it wast so well recorded so, it's a matter of checking ages and, finding accurate portraits of them to make an educated guess as to who the vampires were and, who the "mortals" were.

Your family knew they were vampires from the late 1600s? that's cool anything that they mentioned in the records about how it was back then?

Mostly to only go to one other family in the region for "your unique thirst" and, to mind children as the became men and women should one also carry the sickness (term used then by them.) There was another family in the same region, also rife with vampires and in the early 1700's my family married into that one.
Some of them were among the researchers of the day that investigated vampires. i find it interesting that scholars, researchers and, professors certainly believed we were real then, more so than now. A vampire wasn't exactly an uncommon subject of discussion then, and it wasn't fiction, tough many of the ideas were wrong, and, made their way into the fiction of today, then vampires were accept as being real, all be it more preternatural than we really are.
Also one of the driving reasons one of my ancestors left Europe in the late 1700's and came to America, among other reasons.
