Do random older people come and talk to you?

Sometimes I’ll be on the bus, train or practicing football (soccer) at the park. Random older people will come up to me and strike up a conversation about life. If I’m playing football (soccer) they talk about that. They give me ways to improve or ask me questions about the sport. Even when I am with friends or acquaintances, they almost always single me out. Besides talking about life, they will ask me about myself and give me advice about living a good life or tell me things about their own life. Personally I really enjoy it. I get more meaningful conversations from them than I do from most friends my age. It’s always nice to get some words of wisdom from the older generation. I’m 26 by the way. But this has been happening since I was in high school. My question is not why do older people approach me to have a conversation. Just asking if it happens to anyone else.
