The Velvet Den of Desire

When an app like Uber suggest a ‘simpler version for older adults!’ ?

^this is true. At what age did you realise you can’t use technology anymore? 😅

Seriously, Uner is savage with that suggestion, the poor older adults don’t even know how to change the settings for it. 😏

Ummm when I downloaded Uber, I accidentally set myself up as an Uber driver, instead of a passenger 🤯🤯🤯

It's constantly telling me how much $$$ I could earn if I complete my driver's application 🤣🤣🤣

My generation MADE the internet. Tim Berners-Lee is a boomer, ok, but we GenXers used it all when everything was DOS based.

Only yesterday I had a meltdown trying to get the damn printer to connect to the internet and called my son in tears so he could guide me how to do it. Had it been a matrix printer, it’d had been a doddle.

I am in Waitrose frequently my dear. Altogether a more customer orientated shopping experience..... Ocado i've not warmed to as yet.

I haven't reached that age yet. I think a lot of people fail to realise that I and my peers were at the forefront of modern technology and providing we've kept pace probably know more than most.

∅cado takes a little getting used to when it comes to navigating around their convoluted app. At least you don't have to deal with nincompoops.

I've felt old since around the age of 26. It's just a number, we are all going to be old some day and it's not a luxury everyone is afforded. My mother died aged just 57 from cancer and my father has recently had bowel cancer. When you loose a parent, you think the clock will stop for you at the same time as them. If ancestry is anything to go by, I could only have 27 years left to live but then again, touch wood, there is nothing going on with my body to say I won't live for ever.

I have gotten more confident as I've gotten older and also a little more empathetic I'd say. I do look really young for my age, so I do get annoyed when people try to patronise me. Just after my 27th birthday, I was asked for identification to buy a can of lager, which really annoyed me, especially as he was stood in front of a sign that said if you're under 25, we may ask you for proof of age, nothing about 27!I hope that when I enter my 30s, my face will wrinkle more and also my hair will go naturally bald so I don't have to keep shaving it twice a week.

Nope, quite the opposite (apart from first thing in the morning).

In myself I feel more or less the same as I did at 26 but less depressed and physically healthier.

My actual age is on my profile but assuming I've had a fresh haircut and beard trim recently to tame the grey bits, most people guess my age at least a decade younger.

But on the flip side my real age (which I won't lie about on principle) gets me screened out of messaging well over 50% of the women on here I feel like I'm most attuned to (like not just physically attracted, but on the same page and at roughly similar stage on the journey of life).

I'm not clinging to a Peter Pan fantasy, I've just aged differently.

The fact I'm in better mental and physical condition than I was a decade ago somehow makes it even harder to deal with. In 2015 I was ready to embrace the pipe and slippers paradigm and now I feel like I got all this energy back but it's pointless because people see my age on paper (or don't see me at all because filters) and all that extra zing is going to waste.

Last week I went on a date with a 23 year old, we met through work and so she didn't know my age in advance like happens on here. She was legit shocked when I told her (she guessed 34). We've arranged another date since so she can't have been too upset. But even with positives like that happening, I somehow still feel bad because society looks at that age gap and calls me an 'exploiter' when really I'm just finally emotionally literate and well-rounded, just got to the party late AF.

I don't feel my age, or act my age. I have more energy now than when I was in my early 40's.

The only things that make me feel old is the message that comes up

YOURE OUT OF THIS USERS AGE RANGE

Honestly, ladies, you don't know what youre missing out on.

Or the fact that I have lots of scrolling down to get to my year of birth on online forms.

I had a meltdown. I couldn’t access anything on my computer. I called the son in law and he accessed my computer remotely. It’s a bazaar thing watching the screen flip through everything in your life as he reset the computer. Luckily he knows everything about our lifestyles. So wasn’t phased.

Is there an older adult setting?

Joking aside, I think that's a brilliant idea - making technology more accessible. Suggesting it perhaps not.

I've been feeling quite good age wise recently - been ID'd a few times, there's less weight on my frame, good people. My mum did ask me about 40th plans last night though. Keeping me grounded.

Had a moment in a builders merchants when two young fellas from the warehouse thought they were being helpful and jumped in to help the ‘old fella’ load some kerbs into my pick up... stood back a bit bemused as the soppy twats couldn’t even lift them past waist height and gave up... as they were about to suggest wandering off to find a fork lift, I got bored and threw them on myself.. as the two of them looked on sheepishly... (it felt fucking amazing)

If you use the local 'town bus' there's a volunteer 'conductor' on board. They're usually in their mid to late 70s or older. They will always take my bus pass and tap it for me, just in case I don't know how to use this new fangled gadget 🤣
