Well, the definition doesn't really shed much light on it... By, this definition I am a "Geezer".
gee·zer
gee·zer [gzər]
(plural gee·zers)
n
older man: a man past middle age (sometimes considered offensive)
[Late 19th century. Representing a dialect pronunciation of guiser (from guise ), literally “somebody in disguise,” later used to denote an odd-looking person.]

I don't think I look like a "Geezer" (whatever they are supposed to look like), but I have been called a "Geezer" by friends and family, but mostly in an endearing kind of way. So, I guess I would be proud to be considered a "Geezer", I've got no problems with that.
I don't belong to any group though.
