Earlier this month, a 69-year-old man from the Netherlands petitioned the government to change his legal age to 49. As stated in this NPR article, he feels 20 years younger, and he claims doctors told him he has the body of a younger man.
He said his age limits his ability to buy new things like a house. Hmmm.
On the surface, it sounds like an intriguing concept until you realize he has an ulterior motive. He wants to date more and listing his actual age limits his dating ability. Well, well, now we come to it. You just want to have sex with more women.
Here’s an idea – just be yourself and tell the truth. I don’t think starting a relationship on a lie is such a good idea. Even if he wins the petition, he is still living a lie. We all know dating can be difficult and the older you get, the smaller the dating pool becomes but if he is as vibrant as he claims then finding a woman won’t be that difficult.
At the end of the day, you are 69. Age doesn’t have to determine your fate. You can be 69 and act like you are 49 and no one will challenge you. Again, a young acting 69-year-old should be able to find a woman. The generosity of women to date some of us bums never ceases to amaze me. We men are very lucky.
On a side note, if he truly feels young then he shouldn’t have to use Viagra. Let’s see how young you really are.
