Curious - How Old Is Everybody?

[WhoaTed]

Today is my birthday... 59.

Happy birthday.

 

[WhoaTed]

Just a kid!

Your type, no? I mean the 36, not the kid…

I'm guessing "joint" is not an euphemism?

Because mine are almost all original too!

Not…perhaps bone/joint would be more descriptive?

 

[Ease the sheet.]

Not…perhaps bone/joint would be more descriptive?

How about "body parts"?

Bone seems a little too obvious.

 

[WhoaTed]

Good for you! 🥹

I’ve made a practice of turning down guys my sons’ ages or less. And always found it weird …maybe they were looking for a sugar momma, which I’m not.

Nurse with a Purse?

Worked in hospitals forever…and adapt to their verbiage. Body parts works too.

Nurse with a Purse?

Perhaps…but not that either

36??? Fun…but no.

 

[WhoaTed]

36??? Fun…but no.

Wise lady.

I'm 66. I do like Clint Eastwood, I get up in the morning and try not to let the old man in.

One doesn’t ask a female her age! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Females notoriously lie, in three phases.
Teenagers claim to be older, until 21 (US). Then they claim to be younger. This lasts until advanced geriatrics, when they claim to be older again. Presumably the last stage is an excuse.

What did the Octogenarian pirate say?

Ay, Matey!



Not that old, but my joints and muscles feel like it sometimes!

Wow, I knew I was among the younger members but I didn't think it skewed quite the way it does. Definitely explains a few quirks of the forum though.

I'm 27

Do I win a prize?

Jesus, man, get a girlfriend or something like it and stay the fuck out of here. It will age you unless you are over 50 and then it helps you stay young

 

[Lark]

Will one of you retired gentlemen do a graph for us? I’m sure the new owners are reading this with great concern.

65 in March. 1958 was the very peak of the baby boom in Canada. the average births per woman just cratered thereafter. If i remember correctly from some research i did a number of years ago, it took until about 2008 for as many children to be born in one year as in 1958 and the country had grown from 18 million to 35.

as my siblings 5 years younger than me started elementary school they started closing them. They went to three different schools and my Jr High and High Schools were closed before even my sister three years younger got there. I would say three out of four schools in my district closed. They did not give them all up. Maybe 1 out of 4 physically went completely away. They are beautiful schools. All built in the mid 50s to early 60s to a high standard.

It is weird isn't it. Perhaps they are looking for the sex without ties or drama. Or maybe they just want a grandma to talk to. I find being solitary so simple and don't understand the pursuit of a partner when we're over 60.

My kindergarten and grade schools closed as I left. The Jr high I was supposed to go to closed out of fear. Then I moved. The Jr High I went to closed as I left. The HS and universities managed to survive me.

Sirius satellite radio ‘When Radio Was’ plays old commercials mixed with modern ones. One 1950s public service announcement advised that if your child’s school was more then 20 years old he probably wasn’t getting the investment he deserved. By the time I was going to school the books were that old.

Well, I’ve never claimed to be older. Never got into the drinking thing, and not a teetotaler either. Just a reaction to an alcoholic father.

Why do advanced geriatrics claim to be older?

Lark is drawing rather a long bow saying that women notoriously lie about their age.
Maybe older generations of women were "age shamed" but at least where I live, women of my generation fight the stereotypes. If men don't feel they can cope with women in their own age peer group and need to seek much younger, it says more about them than us.

I think for some it's a longevity competition maybe.. still doesn't make much sense.. although I'll admit to copping senior priced tickets for movies when I was in my late 50s
I never got carded and was buying beer at the store without any issues when I was 13. was large for my age and was shaving already. I worked as a doorman checking IDs before I old enough to drink in the establishment.
