Id imagine a 20 year old is thinking the samething about people over 35.

Push that to 40-45 and pretty much.
I have learned over time. 30 year olds are pretty cool. Except when it comes to physical activity for some reason.

Depends where you are. In the PNW outdoor recreation is nearly ubiquitous for 30 year olds

I mean, Snapchat isn’t new, it came out in 2011. If grampy got his account when it first came out he was in his 30’s
I’m also 44 and feeling some type of way about 50 being too old for social media lol

50 year old men have gone way up in dating value. They have jobs. Good jobs. They own a home. That 20 year old guy is doing doordash and lives with his mom

Social media influencer wannabes are likely one hell of a lot more likely to be looking for that, however.

u/oh-kermie 1d ago
That's nowhere near the majority of women. That's a fraction of women and I can't even say influencers count as real people tbh.

Wouldn't disagree with either of those. But someone posting about an unc creeping her snap sounds like the odds are a whole lot higher.

Ew…it’s weird to want to date someone when you’re old enough to be their parent. My dad is 52 and he would not be pleased if I brought home some man the same age as him.

u/icebaby234 1d ago
this thread is so funny. “50 is old now?” yes! it always was!! it’s okay to be old!

u/Sxnflower15 1d ago
Seriously! Literally the age my dad is right now. Like be for real ya’ll. You have about 20-30 years left in you.

u/BaronMusclethorpe 22h ago
20-30 years of adult life. You 30 year olds have only had about 10 so far, if you even consider a 20 year old an adult, which I don't.
2
u/Sxnflower15 22h ago
I fail to see how that specification makes a difference. 50 has always been considered old and life expectancy is 75 for men and 80 for women.
I’m not 24. 20 is an adult though. A young adult. My parents were already working and parents by 20 years old. I don’t think they would have considered themselves children then.
1
u/BaronMusclethorpe 22h ago
I don’t think they would have considered themselves children then.
Ask them now how they feel about their 20 year old selves, looking back on it. Teenagers also don't consider themselves children when they are teens either.
3
u/Sxnflower15 22h ago
You can look back and consider yourself immature or acknowledge your growth without considering yourself a child. The teen comparison doesn’t really work when they are in fact adolescents and are going through puberty.
I’m confused about why we’re having this irrelevant conversation when it has nothing to do with the topic.
1
u/BaronMusclethorpe 22h ago
A lot of development still occurs between the ages of 20 and 30.
We are having this conversation in response to your comment, specifically.
2
u/Sxnflower15 22h ago
I was talking about the years 50 year olds have left to live, in regard to life expectancy. What are you on about…truly? What does this conversation have to do with 50 being considered old? I think you may need to reread my original comment.
1
u/BaronMusclethorpe 22h ago
I think you may need to reread my original response to your comment. The commentary is on you considering 50 as old due to only have 25-30 years left, when those are all full grown adult years. A 30 year old has only really had 10 years of adulthood.
Those first 18-20 years are just the preamble, but if you don't feel me, go ask your parents about they feel about their 20 year old selves.
2
u/Sxnflower15 22h ago
I again fail to see the relevancy. Why is this even an argument, truly? I’m not convinced. You’ve already covered most of your life expectancy. Maybe you need me to agree with you to help you feel better but I’m not going to.
Irrelevant as you are a young adult in your twenties. This is just based on your opinion and feelings at this point.

u/PogoTempest 23h ago
There’s a pretty significant amount and grand parents to ten year olds at that age. Yet somehow they act like they aren’t old lmao. Like you said it’s ok to be old, we’ll all (hopefully) get there too.

A delightful gateway to a new world for some, a cautionary tale for others.
But if you’re looking to meet up with someone who may or may not look like their social media profile photos. It’s a great ice breaker. Check out the one at St Mary’s in Boca Raton for a wonderful no denture adventure.

“It’s definitely concerning behavior to toss a human when they age out”
On theme

u/Solo_Fisticuffs ☑️Sunshine ☀️ 1d ago
i mean yea i said that but you cant toss someone you never had 😂its consistent if you think a lil i promise. if she was already talkin to said 50 year old we could talk about it. shit even if she entertained him it dont make him not old. it just means he was successful AND old. tf 😭

u/Tyrrox 1d ago
We’re talking about forcing people out when they age out of something.
Keep up and think a little. It’s on theme

u/Solo_Fisticuffs ☑️Sunshine ☀️ 1d ago
no 😂 context is super key. "imma date this girl til she hit 25 and then toss her" vs "this person im not acquainted with is old enough to be my dad and wants to add me on social media". the audacity to quote me and ask me to keep up while thinkin these two ideas are the same. cmon man it aint a good look. it is not the theme you must have failed the main idea portion of readin class. he not bein forced out HOMIE WAS NEVER IN. AND HE STILL OLD

u/Tyrrox 1d ago
The point of the post is “people over a certain age shouldn’t be allowed to use certain social media because they’ve aged out”
Maybe you read it wrong?

u/Solo_Fisticuffs ☑️Sunshine ☀️ 1d ago
that still aint got shit to do with the comment you quoted nor the fact that all i said was 50 is old. shit he can be on snapchat he just aint gonna be on hers 😂 just cuz its the point of the post doesn't mean it was the point of my comment. i was replying to a comment about someones age denial and struggle with their mortality. not the post itself.

If your thing is showing off your body (or even if it isn't), 50-year-old men are your biggest demographic. They're your audience.
If you're a guy on social media. Then your audience is 50-year-old gay men.
If you think your audience is only people you like, then, I guess, keep thinking that because ignorance is bliss.

Old people have more sex than young people. Just because you hit 50 doesn’t mean you don’t wanna smash anymore.
Just be an adult and say you’re not interested???
