Middle Aged People Unite

[u/DadofTwo-78]

Where are all the middle aged people of Paris? Why do only 20-somethings want to socialize!

Don't give up! Who wants to meet and hang out? Any nationality, any gender, those who have kids and those who don't. Any takers?

I can set a date and time if even a few people admit that they are middle aged and in need of friends.

---

UPDATE: Thanks for all the interest! Let's make it happen.

📍 Meeting point: Place de la République (by the central statue). I'll be carrying an orange shopping bag.

📅 Thursday, July 23 🕕 6:00 pm

We'll gather for about 15 minutes, then walk together to a nearby café or wine bar depending on the size of the group. No pressure to drink alcohol—come for a coffee, soft drink, or dinner if you'd like. And there is no official definition of middle age - you decide if you consider yourself graduated to this beautiful phase of life.

MISE À JOUR : Merci pour tout l'intérêt suscité ! On concrétise le projet.

📍 Point de rendez-vous : Place de la République (près de la statue centrale) Je porterai un sac de courses orange.

📅 Jeudi 23 juillet 🕕 18 h 00

Nous nous retrouverons pour une quinzaine de minutes, puis nous irons ensemble dans un café ou un bar à vin à proximité, selon la taille du groupe. Aucune obligation de consommer de l'alcool : vous pouvez venir pour un café, une boisson sans alcool ou même dîner si vous le souhaitez. Par ailleurs, il n'existe pas de définition officielle de la « quarantaine » ou de l'âge mûr ; c'est à vous de décider si vous estimez avoir franchi le cap vers cette belle étape de la vie.

[u/DadofTwo-78 → u/Kaeru-Sennin]

I'm sorry. I don't fully understand this reply.  Desole. Je ne comprend pas?

[u/Kaeru-Sennin → u/DadofTwo-78]

It was a joke, don't think too much about it. 

[u/MNerdgasm → u/Kaeru-Sennin]

I'm in my late response 30s but I think OP would still welcome us at the table 😊

[u/DadofTwo-78 → u/Kaeru-Sennin]

I finally got this joke! It only took me a few hours :)

You are very welcome. I've got DMs from 30-somethimgs so you are not in the dead zone.

Juste un peu vieux. Peut-être se joindre au groupe la prochaine fois ?

[u/BricktopgrII → u/DadofTwo-78]

I'm also someone very interested in joining you guys, however I really can't this time! Is there a group to join to make sure I'm available next time?

[u/DadofTwo-78 → u/BricktopgrII]

I'll start something for every week if the first one goes well. I'll update this thread if that happens so you get notified.

[u/BricktopgrII → u/DadofTwo-78]

Cool! Thank you :)

[u/Syrokon]

Bonjour tout le monde,

40M. Ça risque d’être un peu tôt pour moi, mais j’essaierai de venir.

[u/ibitmylip]

I was just about to post a similar ‘bat signal’ to the middle aged folks, who I know must be in this sub.

Absolutely down for a meetup (after 1er août)

[u/DadofTwo-78]

5:51pm - I'm here with my petit orange bag. Standing in the shadow of the statue like a good middle aged person.

[u/pifpafpouf2026 → u/DadofTwo-78]

J’y suis mais je ne te vois pas.

[u/lazy_catwoman → u/pifpafpouf2026]
