The court has rejected his claim. BBC A Dutchman who wanted to change his date of birth to boost dating prospects has lost his legal battle to do so.
Emile Ratelband, still aged 69, wanted to change his birth date by 20 years to avoid what he called discrimination.
"We live in a time when you can change your name and change your gender. Why can't I decide my own age?" he said.But the court disagreed, highlighting that many rights in law are based on a person's age, and changing it at will could cause many problems.
There was no legal basis to make such a change, it said.www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46425774 |

Sanity prevails! It was always a ridiculous suggestion to be able to do this.

The delusion is strong with this one!
The fact he keeps bringing up that he can't get women on Tinder because he's 69 just makes him sound like a giant sleaze. I hope any woman with sense runs far and fast from this 'young god'!

People are crazy. Curiosity question. If he wants the court to lie for him and goes to all that trouble to try to make it happen, wouldn’t it have just been easier to lie about his age on tinder? I’m sure people do it all the time. ETA now everyone knows how old he really is. They’ll see his pic and say “oh that’s the 69 year old who’s trying to fake it...” It’s got to be nothing more than a publicity stunt, right? |

I’m sure people do it all the time. Apparently, he doesn't want to lie, which is ironic because he seems perfectly happy telling himself the biggest porkies I've ever heard! |

I’d be running just because he’s a stark raving lunatic. And a sleaze!  |
