Do those old ladies who like to play cards and chess with old men also like to play with boys when they were young?

This kind of thing is hard to say, because a person's personality is also in the process of changing slowly.

But if the old woman was born with a cheerful and outgoing personality, then she must have been more sociable when she was young, so it's not unusual for her to play with boys.

Or maybe she used to be more introverted, but now that she's retired, she's letting herself go instead, and is willing to play cards and chess with other people to pass the time, so as not to get too bored of being alone.
