What Age Do You Consider Old?

[Terminus]

Well my 65-year-old dad I consider old, but only because of his irrational dislike of complex technology.

I feel the cutoff line is a mixture between when you begin using "Back in my day" and when you are no longer to sustain any moderate-to-hard physical activity.

I don't know, maybe 60 and over?

i feel old and i'm 25, im dreading 30 but my gf is closer to that than i am and i can see how much it depresses her.. hard to say, im gonna say 40 since 30 is the decade you try and push your life a little before the big 40.

With little thought on the matter, I guess I'll say 65.

60-70, I think 30-40 isn't really old but more middle aged. You can always be young at heart though.

Old people are 30+

I would consider late 70's and over to be old and I think that as all of us get older our opinions of how old is old will change.

Hard to say, I tend to see that as one with personality in my mind. My grandma has to be one of the most child-like people I've ever met and she was around 80 last time I asked, for example. It's almost like she reverted roles with my mom (who acts like an older woman) at some point even though I've heard they both have always been like that. Then again, since that relates more to maturity than age, I'll say around 50 for a straight answer, since that's about half as much as what most people with long lives get.

70+

My grandma is 68 and she is still going strong heck she is even healthier than me.

 

[Kirino]

60 and up.

It's all relative to how old you are, as well as how the "older" people around you act. I used to think 30 was old, now it's scary how close I am to that age myself. My parents are getting close to age 70 (66 and 68), and I don't consider them old yet, but I suppose they are getting there. I do consider my 90 year old grandma old though, unfortunately.

32. You become old when you hit that.
