Things that over 50's aren't expected to do, have, think, or want?

Oh suzied I loved that youtube clip! Thanks! x

Shouldn't wear thongs, skinny jeans or bodycon dresses. Shouldn't have rainbow hair, walk around with headphones ? on in the street or climb on play equipment in the park. Shouldn't get drunk, shop in Ann Summers or become a naturist. And definitely shouldn't have sex

Why don't we have an edit button ?

Me not my [ hmm]

My 6 year old grandson often says to my 'Do you want to come up to my bedroom for a Boogie ?' We put on Ed Sheeran and dance the night away. My DS came and asked us to turn the volume down [ grin]

Charleygirl, yup, she couldn't really grasp the idea that it could hold any attraction for me. Still not made it though....

This thread reminds me of this

I'm going to see the Bangkok Ladyboys tonight. It has "adult themes" oo-er

Telly I loved your daughter's reaction when you said you fancied going to NY. Did she think that you really should not be going further than your local supermarket? In her eyes at your advanced age has life now passed you by?

This has been the best thread on here for ages!
I'll just add imagining I am 18 and on the dance floor when doing my aerobics class to Justin Timberlake!

Love listening to 6Music,especially the Craig Charles Soul and Funk programme on Saturday evenings. Yesterday he played Creedence Clearwater Revival's version of "I heard it through the grapevine." Brilliant.

Told my daughter a few years ago that I would like to go to New York. Look of horror on her face followed by 'what would you want to go to NY for?' I'm over 60 but thought I was doing quite well........

Joining protest marches to save anything (Red squirrels in particular) but also parks, woodlands, historic sites etc

Feinites * Imperfect*

How about going to football matches and sticking your fingers in your mouth for long loud whistles! Not very old ladylike but I do !

FarNorth, BBbevan and the 70+ club ... I just automatically had you included in my mind ight from the start. Probably the worst ...

The over 70s have been here all the time. Long before the over 50s ???‍♀️

Just painted my toe nails blue - is that ok for an over 50 year old (69 actually!) ?
And no they don't match my varicose veins because I don't have any (or not many)

The over-70s don't need to be "brought in" to this thread. They are over 50 too!

I'd prefer if my friend didn't ask a cute 20-something waiter "Do you have an older brother, uncle maybe?" while I was with her.

to all of these!! You crazy lot! Go for it (which is probably an expression a GN shouldn't use as well)...

Have a 20 something boyfriend........

They should never:

Wear bikinis
Not wear underwear
Give high fives
Go back to education
Wish for one night with a much younger handsome guy who really knows what buttons to push!

I wear skinny jeans or jeggings and I am 73 so there !!

Shouldn't wear skinny jeans. (I do.)
Shouldn't express opinions. (I do.)
Shouldn't advise about baby/childcare unless wearing nurse's uniform or sporting a stethoscope round the neck! I've learned to obey this one! It's not worth the hassle.
Shouldn't do karate. My mother-in-law used to ask me every time I saw her, 'Are you still doing karate, Liz?'
Should be invisible. (I strive not to be.)

Say "Could you phone me-I'm not really suitable for FaceTime at the moment!" Did that to my SIL this am. His face, before he shut down, was a picture. My daughter promptly texted with, "We'll phone later".
