What Age Do You Consider Old?

[Justac00lguy]

Sorry if there is a thread similar to this one, I did look...

So am sure we all have a different view on what you consider "old" to be. It could be to do with your age and it will differ to a person who is maybe 15 and under, to an adult who is 30 and over. So what age or age range would you consider old to be?

Well I would say like 85 years old or something. I remember I used to think people age 65 were old but I grew older myself and now I don't think that's really old.

Personally speaking I have my own way of breaking up and denoting the various age groups.

Ages 1-5 = Toddler

Ages 6-13 = Child

Ages 13-19 = Teenager

Ages 20-30 = Young Adult

Ages 30-60's = Middle Aged

Ages beyond 70 = Old

For me
1-17 = Jailbait
18+ = old

Once you start to walk I consider that as being old, and also when you start to realize right from wrong.

I can't really quantify it but if I had to give a ballpark, I'd say usually between 65 and 75 when a person's hair becomes fully gray, there are (naturally) more wrinkles on the face than smooth skin, and, most significantly the wisdom or exhaustion in a person's eyes.

Somewhere around 60 and above. I would have said 40, but I consider it Middle-Aged. 60 and up are ages I consider Old.

As old as you think you are. It's not up for others to decide. I know a 60 year old woman who has had half a dozen different forms of cancer for the past 20 years of her life, and she still lives like a sixteen year old.

For me it's all relative. I've seen people the same age, where I've considered one to be young and the other old, it all comes down to the way you are like.

[Ventus]

40 = old for me

 

[OcarinaBoy]

I jokingly refer to anyone older than I am as "old", but in terms of an actual age to give it, I'd say around late 50's and past.

 

[Wolf Sage]

30.

 

[Joy]

It depends on how people look and act. But generally, around 40 is old for me.

 

[EeveeChan]

70 years old is considered old for me. I would say 60, but as far as I know, 67 is the best age for retirement.
