Struggling to get any action on Tinder? Just legally just your age or something...

Two types of people in this world. Those who glumly accept their fate; and those who, when faced with a challenge, utilise a little blue-sky thinking in an attempt to improve their lot.
An example: You're not getting much action on Tinder. You're 69, and suspect your age is putting people off. Do you;
a) sack it off, book some coach tours and focus on the widow market? Or;
b) start court proceedingsin an effort to legally knock 20 years off your age?
Dutch pensioner Emile Ratelband chose the latter option.
"You can change your name. You can change your gender. Why not your age?" he told Dutch paper De Telegraaf.
"When I'm 69, I am limited. If I'm 49, then I can buy a new house, drive a different car. I can take up more work. When I'm on Tinder and it says I'm 69, I don't get an answer. When I'm 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position," he added.
Oh yeah, Emile's feeling himself. He also claims to have body of a 45-year-old, and describes himself as a "young god".
But then, you would need a certain level of confidence to pull this kind of shit, wouldn't you?
A ruling is expected within four weeks, and he says he'll even renounce his pension it goes in his favour. Real dedication. -

Well this is all very well if you are the only person allowed to do it, but once the floodgates open, who knows what that lady who feels she is a 19 year old cheerleader at heart is going to turn up at your door looking like. -

I feel like this is potentially the first blow for society at large to realise that things are being allowed to go too far. We allow people to 'choose' so many options about their identity and biology. This kind of crap is the inevitable conclusion. I can only hope it seems ridiculous enough we start to take a step back and look at where we are headed. -

In the slim chances that the judge rules in his favour, let's not worry too much. We don't have to accept it personally do we. I think we can all see that he's not 49 and no matter if he told me he was over and over, I'd still think he was a weird dude claiming to be younger.
Also, all this press might not help with people not knowing his real age. -

We wouldn't have to accept it on a personal level but if he was legally declared to be 49 then we would be forced to accept it in any other form. An example for his situation might be an adrenaline junkie company who don't allow people over 60 to participate for safety reasons. Suddenly they are legally bound to let him do it or risk a lawsuit -

Hope all his friends sue him for the money they spent on his 50th to 69th birthday presents. -

I don't understand this. I know there are other things he's moaning about but if he wants to why doesn't he just lie on his Tinder profile. I've never been on there but I assume you set your own age.
Things like this would open the floodgates because it would have to work the other way too. Someone who is 40 could claim they have the body of a pensioner and start drawing their pension. -

haha, you're right there fmr, he has just stuffed up by going public. Still, he's got his 15 minutes of fame, or with his reasoning, his 9 . 5 mins of infamy -
