53 did seem old to me then. Sometimes feel old when I see someone in their 30 and realize that I am old enough to be their father.
When I was a teen most adults I knew were either in their 40s or in their 70s. I don't have any memories of thinking anyone old. I am mother to someone who is 30, and 33, and 26. And grandmother to two under 2. Do I feel old, sometimes. I have some aches and pains now and the floor seems so low and so hard to gracefully get off of. I'm working on that though. I have sorta retired and I'm using this time to get more exercise and into better health. I don't mind being "old" I just don't want to be decrepit.
When I was 19, I was in the bar and would always notice this creepy old man checking out all the young girls. I was out with my (now ex) husband a few years ago and I realized he was the creepy old man sitting at the bar! Lol
There's just something not fair here. First, I was a creepy kid, then I was a creepy young man. Now I'm a creepy old man.
Come on!! How does a guy get a break??
When I was a teenager i thought people in their 30's were old and that people my age (pushing 70) was prehistoric
Well ... I am 64 ... so my teens ended long ago. My parents became grandparents in their mid 40s,; which was the norm. Some people at my current age were already great-grandparents. My own grandparents were my current age when I was a teen. People above the age of 60 were not just old, they were very old indeed.
You Bet!!! But then, I recall having more respect for those who were my
current age group.....some were, some were not.
I fear that nowadays..there are those in our current age group who
tend to be very insecure and loud...spewing hate whenever there is a
camera or an audience. {Present company excluded}
P.S. Remember to Vote.
Despite what the HATERS say...your VOTE Does Count!
This is every generation...and I feel a little badly for the millenials more than I do for our generation anyway...things that were affordable and reasonable 20-30yrs ago are almost totally out of reach today. Wages are basically the same but costs of living have increased not to mention "extras" like private school/college are astronomical.
They get to bitch a little because we fucked it up for them

I don't think so. I think I always thought old was like 70s-90s when bodies start to most noticeably seem to atrophy.
It even feels like the late 30’s are immature.
I could never imagine being as old as I am now. ( I'll be 72 in December). I thought my grandma was incredibly old, but she was in her 40s when I was little. I would be thrilled if I could go back to my 40s now. When I was a teenager, I wondered if I would live long enough to see the year 2000. It seemed very impossible to live thG long. I was 54 in 2000. It doesn't seem old at all now.
Absolutely not. Growing up Fundamentalist, I always thought Jesus was going to come before I was even old enough to drink. When that didn't happen, I thought it would be soon enough that I didn't grow old. Bottom line, Jesus is lost, and won't stop and ask for directions, and I'm still waiting here for him to pick me up and introduce me to his dad.
As a pre-teen and teen, I was into men who were in their 40s or older. I liked how mature they were. When I got older, in my 20s and 30s, I preferred men in their 50s or older. And now, I still like much older men. I guess in my teenage years I wouldn't see someone who's 47, like I am now, as old, just mature and desirable.
Yes, absolutely. I would have considered my age to be ancient. I still do because I think and act like I am that teenager again. I often say that I am re-visiting my teens.
Seventy-five....can only remember my teens when I'm dreaming that I'm still in my forties dreaming of when I walked around with an erection all day....seldom want to wake up..
