"I'm an old man in my 30s."

... Is this author 12?
Nah this is just some Japanese cultural shit. In reality it's just a shift from kids who don't know you calling you "onii-san" (big brother) to "ojii-san" (uncle), with ojii-san getting translated variably to uncle or "old man" depending on whether the person saying it is actually related to the man they're talking to.
Plenty of people, especially women, get neurotic about the shift from being called "big sister" to "auntie". Japan can be kinda weird about age in general actually

not to be this guy, but rather than "I am too, a simple man" it should be "I, too, am a simple man" if you're gunning for the "fancy" emphasized version of "I am a simple man too". Might be okay without commas too, but it definitely brings the point of the use case home better with them

as it is, it kind of reads like "I am too simple a man" instead (so like, "I am too simple of a man" with omission)
