Are those above 60 or 65 offended when you call them seniors?

Question

I want to start a "Senior Strength" class and I am not sure if anyone would be offended. Should I call it "Active Aging" instead?

Answer 1

I am 63. Call me "senior." That's fine.

"Active aging" just sounds like a silly, gimmicky name.

Why do young people get offended when we call them "young and stupid?" We were young and stupid once, so we know all about young and stupid.

Answer 2

I am over 60 and senior does no offend me, however I really don't like to be asked my age. I like Senior Strength best.

Answer 3

I would (if i was 60-65 of course) not be called a senior. Active Aging is more catchy,

Answer 4

Go with Old Farts Society.

For real though I worked at a Veterans Hospital before and all of them but 2 liked being called seniors. The 2 wanted to be called vets???

Senior Strength sounds just dandy

Answer 5

I love the idea of a Senior Strength class!

Answer 6

I don't mind being called a senior. Took a computer class and it was just for seniors. They called it "Computer class for Seniors."
Some of the people in class were under 60. You could call it
"Strengthening class for Seniors"

Answer 7

i don't think so.....my mom's 61 and not afraid to ask for her senior discount. It all depends on the individual, some will some won't. Senior Strength sounds better to me.

Answer 8

i don't think they are offended, being a senior gives them special discounts and other stuff like that....but Active Aging does sound kinda catchy! hope i helped!!! :)

Answer 9

I don't mind, the senior discounts for services aren't bad either.

Answer 10

i think it would be if you call them old, or something else, senior is a respectful way to talk to a person
