At what age do you cease being young?

Gauss

I reckon it's about 28-30. I'm talking chronologically, not your as young as feel nonsense.

By 30 you have lived over one third of your life, so I don't believe you are young anymore.

Mr Benevolent

I'm 32 and haven't lived a third of my life just yet.

What age do you expect to live to?

Gauss, why did you decide that middle aged meant the middle third? It could be the middle 5th... or 7th...

You don't.
When in the company of me ma I'm young. When with my kids I'm old. They're all relatives.

I've just turned 32 and I'd consider anything up to late thirties as young! Maybe that's just wishful thinking though!

Hande hoche!

42.

Well you have youth, middle age and old age. It seems people think youth makes up 60 percent of your life.

By thirty a woman's fertility has significantly fallen and a man's testosterone levels are dropping. Certainly not young anymore.

You are as young as the woman you feel

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well it's all relative

obviously teenagers wouldn't consider someone in their thirties as young.. but who the **** gives a **** what teenagers have to say about anything?
once you hit late 40's-50's I guess you have a harder time arguing your case for being young but then i'm in my late twenties so I would say that... might be singing a different tune when I hit my late 40's

40 is middle aged, so you cease being young when you hit the big 4 Ouch. next febuary for me unfortunately...

Pompey Magnus

The moment you make a little grunt or groan when standing up from the couch is the moment you can no longer consider yourself young.

smash

You often hear of someone dying of a heart attack in their 40's as being young. And as generations pass, people are living a lot longer. There's a lot of people 90+ out there now, so you can't say exactly what middle aged is.

i was 15 when I started doing that....

"Young" is anyone who is your current age +/- 7 years.

"Child" is anyone who is more than ten years younger than you.

My mother is one year away from pension age and would still call herself young while anyone in their seventies or more is "old", according to her.

aujopimur

In the case of men they never get old, they reach puberty, and that's the way they stay.

Rubberlegs

Don't think I will ever cease being young in my head. Turning 40 next March, and still snigger at things I would have when I was 16. Mainly highly inappropriate things:D

And the older you get, the more the grunt becomes a prolonged guttural growl.

You cease being young when you have children. So by my reckoning, the Pope is one hip gunslinging dude.:cool:

I reckon you're no longer young when you become independent. For most people, that's when they leave education, get their own home, and start working. But I'm not sure that being 40 and living with Mammy makes you young...

Then you become middle-aged when you have kids and a mortgage.

Not sure about old, I'm not there yet. Probably when you start giving out about young people.

kfallon

You know you are old when you start saying things to your kids/nieces/nephews that your parents said to you when you were younger!

"Get down off that wall or you'll kill yourself!"
"If that dinner isn't eaten there will be no shop for you later!"
"Anymore fighting and I'll turn this car around"

etc etc

was buying beer in tesco the other day,woman at the counter looks at me,and says any ID on you
i replied dont i look 25 ,anyway i showed my ID and she goes you must have lots of trouble on nights out and in pubs,
as you barely look 18.Anyway i laughed it off i do look young and wish i was,as shaving every morning is pain in the a$$,doesn't even need half day for hair to start popping out.

Anyone

Cant remember what age I was, maybe 22 or 23....anyway, some young lad, maybe 7 or 8, asked me something but started it with "Hey mister...." I just thought....fúck you, ya little bollix......anyway....it was that day for me.

This happened me in Lidl buying a cheap bottle of plonk (asking for it I suppose lol) and the cashier started looking at me through narrowed eyes and demanded ID. gave her my driver's license and said, "See? I'm 11 years older than the limit". Laughed it off though, and was chuffed tbh

I guess I would therefore define "old" as the day you start being happy that someone has actually asked for ID....

Napper Hawkins

I'm 29 but I'm still asked for id if I'm clean shaven.
I'm aging well thank ****.
But I have more than a few mates the same age who act like they're in their fifties.

And anyone who thinks that is just a clueless 19-year-old kid.

What's this thing about people acting as if they're about 80 when they're young? Talk about sucking the enjoyment out of life. I'd rather be 40 and having a laugh than one of those 22-year-olds who think life's over because they're not 18 anymore.

I would conside maybe 41 or 42

Its just that by then there are a lot of things you dont feel like doing anymore and you dont have to prove anything to anyone

BUT the it is all relative - personally to me 41/42
