I am 93 years old. Prove me wrong.
A hint: To err is human.

If you were 93 years old exactly when you posted this, you are now 93 years and a few hours old.

Not at all what I had in mind. Sounds like a solution though. I'm starting to think that the riddle/intended solution does not hold water. Prove me wrong?
You really think I am that old? Well then. I see you have quite some opinion of me.

Just considering the time it takes for an alien to fly from any nearby star to this planet, the average age of an alien around here should be centuries or millenia.

Neat.
The intended and a silly answer is, I am actually 39. It was supposed to be a typo, in a way, and to err is human. No more intended answers, let me tell you.

Human? So you were trying to imitate us? As they say, that is very flattering!

It appears, humans can be very witty. All right!
So, that was my first error. But being this is riddles forum, whadda ya think, will be my last error? Let's not even get into that. After all, I am a mysterious alien, currently on a space station in Alpha Cenaturi, therefore nobody can tell my future, but me. As per mysterious men, well, there are obvious men, who are great lovers, and then, there are mysterious men. See what I mean?

Actually, I believe I just solved me own riddle. The first error, usually for men, is to be born. The last error, for either race, is to get married. There you go.
