What age do you consider someone to be old?

Question

ohsheeT · Accepted Answer

Well when I was one years old I was old because that's what the words say
so it's not the person.
it's the number it's self that's old

I used to race dirt bikes so I've always been in really good shape
I always work hard and beat up my body
I used to play even harder

Even though I'm in very good physical condition my body is old cuz I beat the crap out of it

But my mind my heart my soul my spirit it hasn't changed it's still 21 years old just a little bit wiser that's all

I don't really look at people and say they're old
Everybody's different but if you act old if you feel old then you're old

When I turned 25, I thought that was old, a quarter century old. I'm way beyond that now. The real answer... it depends on how old the individual is.

TheRealPepperPotts · Accepted Answer

I know young 50-year-olds and old 25-year-olds; age is somewhat relative. When people begin acting like they can't [whatever], that is when "aging" begins. When people make an effort to be relevant and involved while growing in maturity and empathy, that is living.

But, I'd say "old" is admittedly around 65-70. It's the golden years, the last 20 years of life for many, so I think it falls into that category. That doesn't mean I see people that age as irrelevant, I am simply more likely to refer to them as an "older" person.

When you hear them say something like an 80 yr old can still be young at heart while a 25 yr old can be very old at heart. This is how you know they are old.

They say this because they realize they're the very same person through life but has turned to look and feel completely different as years gone by.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

10 years older than me.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

it depends on the behavior... some young people act as tired of life as old people, and some old people are more energetic and full of new ideas than young people

so I would rather base on this feeling than the birth certificate

KrakenAttackin · Answer

It d kinda on how old you are. She is relative. To me, a 35 year old woman is very young. To a 20 year old, a 35 year old is "ancient".
