Do you think Senior Forum is for seniors ONLY?

[fuzzybuddy]

Some youg-uns have posted in S. F., and have been criticized for doing so. I'm not sure that there's a S.F. rule for this???

Of course it is. It's 50 plus and started by the admin who specifies that.

There is a rule but I don’t see much harm when a toddler stumbles through the door.

No need to be rude to them, just ignore them or report them.

 

[MoBeans]

It should be for anyone who thinks they may someday want to become a senior and wonder what it's like before they decide.

I've been 21 these last fifty-eight years.

 

[Oldeagle66]

There have been a few young people who pop in occasionally. It's easy to tell.

 

[stretch5881]

I agree with keeping it "only seniors". We deal with our own special issues and learn about them here.

Doesn't matter what I think. The moderator and owner of this forum defines it as being for those 50 and over.

I don't know why young folks would want to join the discussion on this forum. There are many forums out there.

 

[Ruthanne]

I just have to say that there are other forums and other Internet platforms that are for all ages for those who want to be amongst younger people. I am also on Facebook and see others much younger which is the way it is there.

I'm glad to have a place like SF to commiserate and communicate with those over 50 or my age or older

I'm actually quite surprised that anyone under 50 would be attracted to a seniors discussion forum, they literally live in a complete different online culture. My 45 or less relatives never post on such "square" media as Facebook these days. They hang out on TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat, where there are non-stop video postings and such.

 

[Marie5656]

I am here because it is Seniors only. To help me manage going into retirement earlier than I had planned. Plus the ability to interact with my peers, as we have all been there.

 

[Brookswood]

There’s no point in nailing some person to the cross for a mistake.

But, if the powers that be opened it up to people of not quite a certain age it would not be a senior forum anymore.

They can read everything in guest mode for that.

I don't think they're interested for the reasons y'all think they are. Many are scammers. They prey on older people.

My thoughts exactly... "easy targets"... and we've seen it.

some people genuinely have questions about senior care but they need to talk to a professional and not come here for advice.

 

[RedAlert76]

I would assume with the name Senior in title it is for us chronologically gifted folks. Now the forum Discussion Headquarters, you do not have to be older. Thinking all that needs changing now days. Seniors should be 60 -65 and over,,just say'en

 

[astralcat]

Yes, the word "senior" in the title is a dead give-away.

 

[outlander]

I came here to specifically interact with people of my own generation. I find it difficult to relate to younger people other than a casual polite and short conversation. Except for my own kids of course, where we share many experiences and values.

Oddly it is still very easy to relate to younger children who haven't been corrupted by modern society and all of it's shortcomings and failures. People are a product of their upbringing and environment, so you see the world is doomed to fail...

They can find out everything they need to know by searching SF. They shouldn't join, and obviously shouldn't post, but I'd say it's a good place to a feel for life as a senior.

Now those people that are not 50+ that do post I find are most often spammers of some type looking to take advantage of Matrix and the members good will for economic gain. It starts w dishonesty and would get worse if they were not promptly banned,

In my neck of the woods, people are considered senior citizens when they reach age 62. That's when you can ride at senior rates on public transportation and take advantage of senior discounts at stores. With one exception, a restaurant that's now closed gave senior discounts at age 55. So if SF lets people join when they are 55, technically IMO they are not seniors.
