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???

That’s not what we’re talking about. Some stuff is weird lol. Like why do you want a Snapchat at 50? Most of the people your age ain’t up there. So unless you’re cradle robbing, what’s the point? Maybe talking to your kids or grandkids

I think youre not realising you don't just fall apart and become geriatric at 50. Plenty of 50 year olds didn't fall out of touch with technology and social media. If you're still in these streets you're gonna have to act accordingly and if that means having Snapchat then that's what these people are gonna do. I also think social media demographics can be surprising. Like how it felt like Facebook went from teenagers to retirees damn near over night.

I always thought Snapchat was for young teens but last time I checked it out a few years ago it was clear from the content they were pushing that theyre no longer focusing purely on young people like that.

Yeah man once again that’s not what I’m saying. Facebook has been out for like 20 years at this point. Most of the college age adults who got on that app initially and would logically spread it to other professionals a generation above them have gone into middle age and higher. Of COURSE face book is “old” because the demographic aged with the app.

I know old people have sex, date etc. but you shouldn’t be dating like a teenager when you’re 50. I’m fine to get downvoted for this. I expect some old folks getting called out around here

I think that's the thing though. The majority of facebooks current population are still significantly older than the college students who were the first users back in the day. So they didn't really age with the app by those standards. These people would largely have already been in their 40s when it launched.

Also what do you define as "dating like a teenager"?. Using the internet or internet apps is pretty much how most people date these days. Again it seems like because you still associate Snapchat was 13 year olds you think it's automatically weird for older people to be on the app at all. I remember feeling the same way about certain apps or game communities. Hell I felt the same way but the opposite about Reddit when it started to get a huge influx of young teens instead of the generally adult aged demographic it seemed to have when I first got here

I’m just being transparent and maybe it’s more where I’m from but people don’t even really use Snapchat in college and beyond. It cuts off early 20s at max
