Whats with all the 30 year old "Grey Muzzles"? (pawb.social)

As a 30 year old myself you're not old, you're not even middle aged. I've been in the fandom for over a decade and while I understand most people view 30 as "furry death" you're definitely not old enough to be presenting yourself as a "Grey Muzzle".

Most Grey Muzzle groups won't even let you join until you're over 50. Do people just do it because they don't feel like they fit in with younger furrys so go to the other extreme or they just want to appear like they're more "sage like" in the fandom than they actually are?

Idk I just think it's really weird how a lot of furrys act like once you pass 20 you're essentially just sentient mold and can only hangout with guys whos weekends plans are getting a urinary tract infection and bed sores.

Seems likely, it's tougher to become close friends with someone who's 10-15 years younger in their early 20s.

More than half of all furries are under 20 years old.

My beard started turning gray in my 30's. If your muzzle is literally gray, I think it's appropriate.

This would be my guess. I spend a decent amount of time in Resonite, and while it can certainly be fun to pass time and work together with people regardless of their age, it is tougher to develop meaningful connections with someone that’s still struggling with school and parents.

Granted I don’t personally think I’d look for groups of people in their 50s and upwards to remedy that.
