«Breaking News» Pensioner, 69, 'who identifies as a 45-year-old' LOSES legal bid to have his age reduced by 20 years

A 69-year-old man who tried to force Dutch authorities to legally reduce his age by 20 years has had his claim rejected by the courts. 

Emile Ratelband says he does not 'feel' like a pensioner, and that reducing his age to 49 would mean getting work and attracting more women on dating websites and apps such as Tinder. 

Last month, the self-styled 'positivity guru' asked the court in Arnhem to formally change his date of birth from March 11, 1949, to March 11, 1969.

He argued his request was consistent with other forms of personal transformation, such as the ability to change one's name or gender.

But in a written ruling Monday, the court said Dutch law assigns rights and obligations based on age 'such as the right to vote and the duty to attend school. 

'If Mr. Ratelband's request was allowed, those age requirements would become meaningless.'  

The court said there would be practical problems in allowing people to change their birth date and it would mean legally deleting part of their lives. Pictured: Emile Ratelband

In his claim, Mr Ratelband said that he should be allowed to change his date of birth because doctors said he has the body of a 45-year-old. 

The Dutchman said it is proven that 'when you behave like a young man, your body takes the same shape'. 

Mr Ratelband, who works as a consultant and self-proclaimed positivity and self-help guru, said that one of the main reasons to have his age lowered is that he will be able to pick up more girls.

Mr Ratelband said: '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.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
