It'll be awful when I reach my thirtieth birthday, I was having existential thoughts from turning 20, nevermind 30 :laugh:

I think a lot of people confuse middle aged with being old. I'd say 65+ is old.

It's OK, we can hand down our tartan blankets and feet cosies :joker:

I'm dreading turning 30 :bored:

I have about 6 years to go, but I already hate birthdays

Just reminded me of something my Grandad said to my Nan. He said when she hit 60 he was swapping her for two 30 year olds :laugh:

I was ok with my 30th birthday, my 31st was worse for some reason :/

I think when people retire they're old. I think that's 60 or 65.

25 is the age at which the human body reaches its peak strength. There is no seriously steep decline until about the age of 35-40, but still... all downhill from there. :hugesmile:

Sounds grim I know, but I'm 25 next month and have to get used to the idea.

Life expectancy is too high now for it to be anything less.

However
past it = 25+


So you have less than 10 years outside of school being "with it" and then have 40 years of being past it before you reach old age?


Nut.

The day I become a grandma! :hugesmile:

Beastie 09-05-2011 12:18 AM

It makes me sick at work. There are young women in their 30s who I thought were in their teens or early 20's!

I hope I get better looking with age.

Jords 09-05-2011 12:27 AM

55+

I love older people. I prefer their company to my age.

Blanche and Louie are my heroes as you may have gathered...

Twilight 09-05-2011 03:13 AM

60+

lmao, that's a terribly grim attitude to have:nono:

You have a biological age, a chronological age & a maturational age.

Your biological age - how old you look - is what matters. Some people look old at 30, others look young at 50.

55-65

Some people are old at 20, some people are young at 60.

Crimson Dynamo 09-05-2011 02:48 PM

The answer depends on what age you are. A 10 year old thinks 20 is like prehistoric.
