    I'm 22 and regard myself as young. I know someone 3 years older and said that they are not young anymore.
    What age did you stop feeling young?

    21 in answer to the thread title, and nothing to do with because you are 22 either

    30. The "last big contract" time for most footballers.

    When peace and quiet becomes the thing you strive for in life.

    When I was 20 I thought I knew it all and was very self-confident. Now I'm 23, realise I know nothing and feel like a 16 year old again.

    I hope this answer helps.

    Im 29, I don't go out on the piss with my pals as much as I used to or get up to anything near the antics I used to but I'm having so much more fun now than I ever did in my life before. Alot more social outside my usual circles, healthier lifestyle, alot more open to trying things.

    I'm finding my "fun" times are usually less and less alcohol fueled, which is good.

    I'm 33 , just sitting here wetting myself and dribbling. My nurse will come around soon to feed me. It all went down hill after 30 :(

    I'm going to echo this. I'm also 29 (about 6 weeks of it left!) and after years of over indulging ;) and playing too much football and soccer i.e. burning the candle at both ends, I'm physically starting feel a bit older. I can't drink for sh!z anymore but that's a good thing.

    Mentally I'm still an immature sap and long may it continue!

    You stop being young at 6 months older than I am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    Its all relative. I need a few years myself.

    When you turn 20 your brain starts to shrink. When you turn 27 your memory starts to diminish and by the time you reach forty you lose 10,000 brain cells a day.

    I can't find a link for any of this but it was on a 2007 episode of Horizon called How Does Your Memory Work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭BrenCann


    33, Hangovers get worse but am 39 now and still feel young ( about 33 ).

    I'm 22 also!! Still feel like an 18 year old...a LOT smarter than i was then but know i still have a lot to learn;)

    I'd say 35/40 is when you start to feel really old:D

    Is this so u can get a half fare on a bus? If you are adult and small, its still worth a go.

    Or is it cos u are underage and want to get into an 18+ movie? If so, try smoking a cigar on your approach to the ticket kiosk.

    My memory isn't what it used to be but I still have the Horizon episode on my computer. It was one of the most interesting episodes I've ever seen.

    There's a few clips here, although it doesn't mention the memory loss that I was talking about.

    When you watch MILF porn and think that it's time you settled down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54 ✭✭BrenCann


    I am 39 and know lots more than when i was 23 . but still no very little.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    I reckon you start to get proper old at 50. I'm 44 pretty young looking for my age and aside from smoking the odd spliff I look after myself in terms of fitness and off the sauce ten years. I've lots of energy some days but I do get quite knackered out of nowhere other days. One or two wrinkles, one or two grey hairs, find it hard to get the old chap standing proud sometimes (he's gone into semi retirement). Also find myself shouting 'Go on son' when I'm watching soccer. I'm not making a deliberate effort to dress young but neither do I wear old man jumpers either. I'm also a lot more content than I was in my 20's and 30's. Yes you do mellow out with age. When I get to 50 i'll probably say that you don't get old until you're 60.

    for others;
    young is 10% younger than you are once you hit 30
    old is 20% older than you are till you hit 25

    for yourself;
    young is your age untill you have kids then its whatever age you had kids

    Talked about feeling older but today I bought my first Lego set!

    When you realise going out on the piss isnt something you want to do every weekend and things like paying bills and planning for the future is important. Then again is that getting old or just maturing?!
