How old is too old for cons?


RainbowMau

Recommended Posts

Some weeks ago I told at another forum that I tried to meet more people at anime cons and someone replied me that I'm almost 30 and cosplay events are not places to meet people or my lovemate for me anymore, that I should try with salsa dance classes or learning a language cause they're frequented by people from our age, and she also said "A place where people goes disguised as anime characters is not a place for adults to start relationships for me".

 

So, is there a limit age? I'm 29 so according to this person the limit age must be like... 25? :(

I'm a teen and pretty sure i'm too young for cons. You can go whenever you want, don't let people dictate your life. There's no age limit; go and have fun, mate.

Have the courage to think and act on your own. And have the courage to disobey.

Oh please, who cares how old you are? It's not like they'll throw you out. Besides, what's wrong with having friends or even finding a potential date that's younger than you (of course there is too young IE: under 18)?

Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one.

Yeah... no.

 

I just went to my first pony con and though I was definitely not among the youngest I also was far from the oldest.

 

Straight up SF cons run the gamut from 5 to 95.

 

Cons are for anyone who likes the subject of the con.

My best friend's dad is like 50 or 60 something. I don't know exactly how old. Hes been to every (San Diego) Comic Con since it's started.

 

Don't let anyone tell you you're to old to go to a con, especially not at freaking 30.

Since when there was an age limit to attend a convention? I've seen older people cosplaying at SDCC when I went there a few months ago. 

 

Don't let that rub you the wrong way. if you want to keep going to cons, go for it. Don't let anything stop you.

*LOL*

 

No, there's no age limit on cons.

 

However, cons are hard places to meet new people on average. Not because there's a lack of people, but because the number of activities is kept so high that most of the people there are constantly rushing from one thing to the next. The way a lot of modern cons are organized, there little to no down time where people simply mingle unless there is an event set aside specifically *for* that.

Psssh. 

 

@RainbowMau

 

Fan conventions and ages? You do realize I was like 6 years old and watching anime ... and i'm in my late 30's now right? You realize that there are more than a few of us that are older than you on this board, right?  I'm not even the oldest. This below quote can be used to address every single one of you posts having an issue to do with your age. You know my opinion on this since I keep having to mention it, due to the abundance of these sort of topics. Therefore I do not feel bad about the redundancy.

Psh. I'm 25 going on 26, and I still go to an anime convention. I'm a kid at heart, so people don't even know I'm that old. As long as you have fun, there's no reason to feel like you are too old. If people are telling you that you are, they are completely nuts if you ask me. My mom who goes with me (due to special needs) is close to her fifties, and she goes with me as well. She loves it!

Seems like the person who told you that pretty much had the wrong idea on what a convention actually is. Really, considering he/she is treating them like a place for people to hook-up at.

 

Augh, I've never been to one personally, but I wouldn't let a silly thing like age stop me.

So you can find your special somepony at a con?  I never thought of using them for that purpose.

 

I don't recommend going to a con for the specific purpose of using them to find a special somepony, but, it worked for me.

Well, I'm not into anime or comic books or anything like that, so I can't really say, I've been to a local version of comic con and can safely say that there were many attendees over 30.


Who you jiving with that cosmik debris?

Act before you have the presence of mind to second-guess yourself. Then you rarely miss an opportunity.

You're only too old for cons when youre dead. Yoy only feel old because anime conventions, and anime culture, is only at most a couple decades old. As the con-crowd gets older, you'll be seeing older people attending x3
