Is 36 old?

Question

I know it seemed old when I was 19. But I don't feel too much different than I did at 19, except now I'm not broke all the time.

Answer 1

I'm 37. Most of my friends now are 18-25 years old. I can still do everything they can ... except maybe my ollie isn't as high as it used to be ...Point is, they don't treat me like an old guy because I don't act like one (most of the time). It's not a mid-life crises or anything like that. They just seem to gravitate towards me. I don't look out of place in a group photo either...hahah

I only feel old when I hang out with people my age. They're talking about hypertension and joint pain and I'd rather be teaching my 11 year old godchild how to open beer bottles with a disposable lighter (yeah, the parents know I do this).

Answer 2

Hell, no, 36 isn't old. I feel completely different from when I was 19, but I'm 31 and feel fresh and vibrant. When I turned 30, I started to think of my life in trimesters. I found joy in how long and full a life I had already lived by then and in the thought that I get to do the whole thing over again two more times. This is all assuming that I live to be 90, of course. It could happen--modern technology and blah, blah, blah.

Answer 3

Great question. I'm 39 and feel the same way, wondering if I'm olde or not. I definitely still feel like I'm 19 . . . my body is better than most 19 year olds I know, too (I play beach volleyball and see everyone w/their shirts off). It's interesting, ruminating about our ages, but it's inevitable I believe, too. I enjoy the wisdom I possess now (application of the knowledge learned) but find myself becoming insecure about the coming years.

To get back to your question, 36 isn't olde . . . isn't 60 the new 40?

Answer 4

THe AARP promotes that 70 is the recent 40 and that i'm completely paying for into that. Iam 35 at present have 3 toddlers a lengthy time period 4,2 and a million and that i'd really like love and prefer to have yet another and using their a lengthy time period I type of favor to attend a touch as i'm very busy with their consistent desires.

Answer 5

I don't feel old at 57 either. Older, but not old. I see people being active and having a full life into their 80s and 90s. Age is a state of mind. Take an interest in life and keep active.

Answer 6

No... 36 is not old at all.

People have this weird misconception that once they reach a certain age, they will automatically become old and that the "little old man" or "little old lady voice" will suddenly turn on in their head.

That's not going to happen.
You will pretty much feel the same
way the rest of your life, regardless of your age.
Remember, age is just a number.. ;-)

Answer 7

No. You are not a teenager man c'mon. Mind you 36 is not old too. You are lucky moreover to be 36 you know why? because young girls are getting attracted towards people like you man.

Answer 8

God bless

Answer 9

Think of your batch, you are all 36!
Think like 36 and look like 19 is a good formula.

Answer 10

I don't think 36 is old. You are only as old as you want to be. Old is when you stop feeling or being young at heart.
