      Alright, calm down fossil. There’s less time between you and us, than there us between us and today - ergo we’re all getting older here.

          Did you mean “we didn’t”?

          I’d say you got me on that one, but my hone’s internet connection was so shite I basically didn’t have it until the 2000s.

          Besides you guys had ARPAnet, I’m sure you could make do with that haha

        Nah I got fixed because it was actually legal and not completely abnormal to have done when I came of childbearing age.

    My 1970’s born self appreciates all you horned up youngsters. Things have been…interesting since my early forties when a touch of grey came in.

        Haha, just have your kids later in life then you don’t have to see them grow old.

        I’m from the 60’s and my eldest just turned twenty.

        I think it’s genetic sometimes - I didn’t have a single grey hair until I was 35, which is when a bunch of health stuff kicked off.

        Still don’t have much grey at 48, and my grandfather was only about 50/50 when he died at 85.

        I have not had a stress-free life.

          I think it’s genetic

          Yeah, I knew a guy back in high school who at 18 started going bald, and not a nice bald, poor bugger. There was another man I met who was in his 50s and had white hair since he was 11 or so, thick full pure white hair. Myself, @50ish, maybe 10 whiteish hairs on my head, and about half my beard.

          True that genetics do take a part of it, but sadly both of my parents didn’t develop greys until their mid-50s…

          It is, in turn 40 this year and in the past year they’ve only just started to fill in. My dad had almost completely black hair into his early 60s. Both he and I have had super stressful lives. My mom had very obvious grays by the time I was born when she was 27. He’s half Native American and she’s 100% Dutch so wildly different genetics

      I hear you. A few wrinkles around my eyes and daily cardio, and I haven’t gotten so much young mom attention since I was taking my kids to the playground. 10 more years, and I may do the same with potential grandkids. That will be a deadly combo.

        Personally, I expect the twentysomething attention to fall off a cliff as we hit or get very close to 60. I expect the age group that’ll give us the time of day then to be fortysomething year olds.

      it’s crazy on the opposite end too cause wdym someone born in 1990 is old enough to be my dad (i’m a Feb 2008 baby). that’s so recent and most of my favorite celebrities are from that era and I don’t see them as old😭

        I’m old enough to have a grandchild that’s 18. I still am not sure how I feel about it.

        This reasoning also means you’re old enough to be a parent. Technically correct, and it happens I guess.

          that’s exactly what I’m doing rn, living my daddy fantasy this summer. plus, I asked my dad to set me up with someone, so the guy I’m seeing is vetted and my dad knows him well, which makes me feel super safe and comfortable. i’ll probably get hate for this on here, but it is what it is.😌

            Hey, who fucking cares if some squares want to shame you. Just block them. Enjoy your life and experience pleasure the way you want to. Nobody has the right to gatekeep you on that.

            As a side note, as amusing as your posts are, I also think it’s pretty cool how relentlessly sex-positive you seem to be.

    I find these memes funny. Because one day you’ll wake up and find yourself where we old people are. Time really flies by quickly. So, enjoy your youthful times and make as much memories as you can.
