Would you consider yourself old if you were that age?

Frances : What do you mean get a grip on myself? I was just asking a simple question and in no way did I give anyone my opinion on what I thought. I actually tend to think that you are only as old as you feel!

I think it's more the state of mind of the individual than the actual age ... whether or not they keep their minds and bodies active. There are people in their 70s who keep fit and active who can keep up with those in their 30s -- ski, tennis, golf (on foot, not cart), even surfing I've heard.
So, if one thinks, "Oh, I'm too old to do that anymore," then maybe they are even though there are others the same age or even more that are doing it because they don't think they're "too old."

I was reading an article the other day about a nurse, who at age 60, decided to work on a doctorate degree and run in her first marathon.... which she has done. Also, there are more 100 year olds who are still working in some capacity or another. One of my neighbors is 90 and goes dancing every Saturday night. So, if you remain young at heart..... I guess there is no number to really define "old" anymore.

Age is relative. The old phrase you are only as old as you feel is pretty accurate. I used to be afraid of turning 30, but now that I am almost there I can't wait. I still feel like I am in my early 20's!!! As we age our idea of old changes.

I'm 14, so right now, old is like 40. But I think that when I become 40, I'll think 55 is old. And when I turn 55, I'll think 60 is old. Old is just a growing number.

Funny, the older I get, the more I realize, the people I thought were old, really aren't that old. I guess 90 may be old!

It changes every year :-) I used to think 27 was old, but now that I'm 27, I moved the goalposts back a little =P

after 60yrs old is considered old,but it all depends on how you feel because,some people feel young at that age & some don't.
