Some older people are fun to be with
And some old people can be a pain
One is like sunshine
Another like rain
One is like sunshine
Another like rain
One can have wisdom
hard to ignore
One can be cranky
And often a bore.

Just like the young, there are many types of personalities of older people.
In my 40s, I was associated with retirees. I took them on cruises and tours. Some were wonderful to be with, happy to be retired, and traveling. Some complained about everything from start to finish. I soon learned which ones I wanted on my trips. I also learned to ignore the cranky ones.
Now in my late 70s, I am still associated with older people, and I still know which ones I want to be with. I choose the ones who are older and better, not old and bitter.
I probably could have written this myself but I've a feeling you said it better (and much nicer) than I might have said it! I seem to be drawn to either cranky older people or ones whose attitudes make me cranky too!
