Old

FullblownRose · 21-05-2014 08:29PM #1

I have been reading and giggling at the many references to older women ' (30+).'

I never thought of my 30+friends as old in any way. Of course, some people do look much older than they actually are, but in general 30 year olds don't seem 'old' in my opinion.

The only difference I an think of compared to how they seemed in their 20's, is their mannerisms. And, at the same time, I know people in their 20's who seem older.

Are you automatically old at 30, surely not? What is it all about?

My OH is 31 and I take the piss out of him for being old. I dont see 31 as old though, its just that hes older than me and he acts like a right old fart sometimes!!

Nothing old about 30+. 50+ is old though!

Edit- sh*t sorry LorMal

Thinly veiled i need validation that I'm still cool and with it thread…

I'm happier, fitter, quite frankly hotter, calmer, more confident, more fun, more carefree, more open minded and likely many other things, in my thirties than I ever was in my twenties. I don't think anyone could accuse me of being old.

I still skip, carry bubbles in my handbag, and get asked for ID

If you don't think of people in their 30's as old. Then you're old FBR. Sorry to break it to you.

If I wanted nice comments, or ''validation'', I think I would seek it somewhere other than bords.ie

I can forgive but I can't forget. At least while I'm still able to remember

And Bubbles doesn't mind? I've often wondered what happened to him. He was a bit of a legend round these parts...

People take validation in many ways..not always positive

The biological clock is ticking for everybody from conception.

You're thinking of the 'oven timer'.

I'm over 70 and still don't feel old. I probably have more enjoyment in my life now than I did in my 30s or 40s. I'm certainly as active today as I was 40 years ago.

You are going to send the demographics of boards through the roof ..

Take a bow…

Mid-twenties to mid-thirties is quite an odd age bracket to be in. Proper "youth" ends around twenty three and middle-age starts in your late thirties. The intervening years have an uncertain feeling to them, you aren't young enough to be properly young but not old enough to be "old". To answer the question, I'm in my twenties and no, I wouldn't consider someone in their thirties to be old. I definitely did when I was a teenager though, so I suppose it's all a matter of perspective.

Going to? Going to? I didn't suddenly become 70 in the past hour and I've been on Boards for years.

Have you been 70 for years ?

A Greedy Algorithm · 21-05-2014 10:23PM

I can't wait to be 90 or so. Gonna be the biggest pervert around, no doubt ill be a billionaire by then (Going from past experiences i will go through another 4-5 Celtic tigers - gonna make my fortune). Probably even have a few horses around the place that i can ride into town for supplies.

Yeah, for sure...too late to be pregnant, menopause coming soon...

30+ is a hot chic, knows what she want, enjoys her sexual life and do not expect flowers and chocolates after one night stand

cactuspaw · 21-05-2014 10:42PM

Had to explain to a child today what dial-up was. I'm 30. I felt very old. I remember a time thinking 16 was ancient.

Legs.Eleven · 21-05-2014 10:42PM

If someone youngin' called me an auld wan, I'd respond with an, "Ah right" and get on with my day.

I couldn't give a big hairy bollocks if someone sees me as old or not because to be quite frank, the bonus prize of being in your 30's is the beginning of the realisation that you are not defined by how others view you and by jaysus, it's a relief and a half.

Everything may be on the way to heading South but by golly, I'd rather that than my wreak-the-head insecure thoughts of my early twenties.

How I'm viewed by the yoods doesn't even enter my radar tbh, so ha! Neh neh neh-neh neeeeh!! :P
