Too old? Do something about it.

I did that on Plenty Of Fish years ago. People always guessed my age between 10-15 younger so why should I let my real age disadvantage me. My ex GF was furious, but forgave me.

I'm fortunate in that I haven't had to ask anyone out since 1979....

The Wife is always asking "Are you four today"? I just grin and tell her "Yep". Growing up is just no fun.

She says I have recessive genes...no teeth, almost no hair and no memory. If I keep going at this rate, I'll be a slobbering fool in no time.

Since 1973 for me.

I keep telling my wife. Don't worry about be looking for someone else, I'm too old and don't have enough years left to brake in a new one.

I think I'll just declare that I weight 30 lbs less tomorrow. Think how much easier it will be to get around. How much faster I'll be able to run. And how much longer I'll live after watching my weight so carefully.

This is great.

It's points out the absurdity.

"I'm a 49 year old man trapped in the body of a 69 year old"

"My age has nothing to do with my birthdate!! I identify as a 49 year old!" (Sort of like the claim that gender has nothing to do with your biological sex.)

Hmmm.. I wonder if he changes his age would he stay 49 forever, or does he acknowledge that he would then get older every year? The later would seem to contradict his argument.

I firmly believe you have the right to be delusional, but can you force others to accept your delusion? Do I have to call a man in a dress "Miss"?

Then there's the what is legal versus what is polite.

Interesting questions....

I think the answer to your question about Mr/Miss is yes. My wife is a school counselor. She has told me she can get in trouble for not using the right pronouns that match with the gender an individual "identifies" with. I was born a few decades late.

I've turned 39, 27 times. :cool2:

Truth is in short supply these days.
