Yea so im 23 years old, going to b 24 this sept. I hear from alot of ppl that mid 20's is old, or 30. When i was younger like 16 i thought 20's was old. Now that im in my 20's i dont think so n still feel really young. Some ppl think mid 30's is old, dont really think so eitha.
Wat age do u think is for ur prime, and wat age do u think u should b to have a wife,kids,ur life together wit a good job, out of ur mom house, etc.
i think its safe to say you have entered a new 'age' zone when you don't feel you can do certain activities you did before.
so when hanging out with 18 year olds feels silly, then you are pasted that age zone.
in terms of what is actually old. your testosterone starts to decline in your 30s, if your going to lose your hair odds are the process is well underway in your 30s, most people are married and buying a home by their 30s, etc.
when i was 30 i felt old, but didn't feel different, if that makes sense.
now that im 33 i feel very different than when i was in my twenties. its like that part of my life is over and im at the starting point of the next phase of my life.
so to me, you aren't old in your 30s BUT you are at the starting point of getting old.
50 is kind of the midway point of being old.
and 60 is old. after 60 theres less road ahead than there is behind you (unless you live to be 120 that is).
i think also that at 60 you've lived a life. you probably arent going to have kids anymore. your career is almost over. your body is wrinkled and sort of tired.
but having said all of that, mentally you don't ever have to get old. i mean, at 60 you still have more years left to live than kurt cobain or heath ledger etc.
if you knew you were going to die at 28, then you'd technically be ancient at the age of 27, since you'd have already lived 95% of your life.
so feeling old when you are 30 is kind of dumb since you don't know. you might have a year left to live, or you might have 60 years left.
