At what age to you consider 'old'?

I consider getting old to be in the fourties through the fifties, but old is like sixties. Your twenties and thirties are like the prime of your life, so I've heard. That's not that old...

 

Haha, I live with two people in their early thirties, they're definitely not old.
I worked in a convalescent home for a while, and though people in there certainly weren't young, "old" comes at different ages for everyone.

 

55+

 

When you turn 40 I consider that old

 

lol, you're young of course we seem "old" to you. wait til you hit 27 then 28 won't seem so old.

 

60+ I hope I'm dead by then. I can't stand the thought of being old

 

I think of 60+ as old.
If I break the family trend and live past 65 I may start to view things differently .

 

You sound like Pete Townsend. He's old now. Your views will change.

 

When you can go days without meeting someone your age or older, you're old.

 

I'm 16 living with four people who are all over the age of 30 and I feel like the oldest one in the house... Sooooo in all honesty, age is a state of mind. I feel almost sage at this point (but of course I'm not exactly there, I AM only 16).

But anywho, I took a massive digression. PHYSICALLY old, I say 70's... Only because my ap environment teacher is like 60ish (early 60's) and this woman get's up every morning at four oclock (even in winter!) to go swimming!

 

+45

 

60+ but then again, I have seen some people in their 60's who would put many younger people to shame, they are young at heart & can still dance the night away

 

40+

 

I believe you're never old until you decide that you are. :icon_bigg

 

Like 40s I guess. 20s and 30s sound really fun and like a person's prime. I didn't think of my parents as old until they turned 50 though.

 

I have found the number I consider old has changed as I have gotten older. So old is relative to where you are at in your life cycle. So at 40 about to be 41 I feel 50ish to be old depending on the man. I have seen 30yo man who looked 60 and a 50yo man who looked 35. So I feel a man is old when he looks grandpaish. Now I don't think I look 40 and don't feel 40. In my pic I thought the cake was going to burn down and they did not put all 40 on there! I have a 34yo full blooded sister who is almost 1/2 grey while I only have a few grey hairs and it pisses her off. I always joke a lady is never more than 29 so every year since 29 they put 29 candles on my cake. LOL June

 

I'm 42, so I guess it's time to get a walker, and start moving into a nursing home....

 

60, after that you can basically die for anything. :l
