question help: OK, here is a question: What age is too old to be young? - Help.com

what?

“Young” as in how one feels? Or when do people stop calling you “miss” and start calling you “ma’am”?

Depends on th person I guess, some people I would call ma’am because it’s a formal address, and some I would call miss. So I don’t think it really matters to me, maybe mid 20s.

i dunno then, maybe 18

i think i’m having a heart attack trying to understand what you’re asking Soul

too old to be “young”? HOW young?

I’m thinking “young” as in a kid young

you did say physically

lol

27 is the limit according to some random source i read one day

“duh” lol

It must be 30. I know to many generations of women who say their 29.

Maybe 40 for men, when the gray hairs start to come out and vision, hearing or knees start to wear out.

I don’t know, I’ve seen some really good looking ladies around 35

….

Speaking from personal experience, YDC :-(

Yeah, soul. We’ll be on it all tonight. Have it on your desk in the morning. Sleep tight!

interestin’…..

Hmmm. You might be right, YDC.

uuugghhhh YDC?? IDK??? WTF and DILIGAF (ahhh I know those two) gimme a break… I’m too old to be a texter..lol.

Rofl
Ydc = yours_dietcok.

Old for a bathing suit, or old for the planet?

I was thinking the same thing Xeno…I’m sorry but I saw a 6o year old woman in tight leggin’s… every wrinkle in her A$$ showing, her flowing sheer top was cut so low to show her cleavage, which went down to her knees… and her hot red lipstick was oozing away from her lips via the wrinkles… looking like so many rivlets of lava flowing down the volcano… acckkkkk…. SOMEONE TAKE MY EYES… MY EYESSS… MY EYESSSSS SOMEONE TAKE MY EYES!!!!

If you are 60… NEVER try to look like you are 20! PLEASE!!!!!

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there’s preteens who dress like they’re 20.

right… and as a father… that bugs the living hell outta me!

As a 19 year old, it bothers me! I don’t know who’s okay to hit on, it’s creepy.

yeah… 15 will get you 20… just like always!

And you never know who’s watching.

i’d say that at the ages of 60 to 70 is the life expactancy for my people, so until these ages, everyone os young. hahaha

ZOMG I now feel really really old. Im only 22. Just blimey. Im actually scared to turn 23 coz it means I will be an adult and crap. Gulp. I think you are always young at heart just never ever try and look young!

i think you are as young as you feel (but phyisakaly)I think you cant look young a 35

100 is definitifely too old to be young.

Thats a tricky question. I use to think that 20 was old haha, then 40, but at 22 I am realizing it’s not about age, it’s about your inner spirit being happy. People to often equate young with happiness and beauty. I personally think that your better through time. Just because your 40, 50, 80, doesnt mean that you cant stop living. If your happy with your life, then I think you’ve achieved the perfect age.

Totally right Lifes!!!! wow … that is good. Thank you. Inner spirit. Never thou of it like that :o)

My Best Friend’s grandma is older, I dont know her exact age, but WOW she has so much more spirit and life in her then a lot of people I know. She is full of energy and always a blast to be around. She doesn’t let anything hold her back. I think it’s harder for younger people to do that because a lot of us are struggling with money, or to focused on bringing home the bigger bacon or finding that trophy husband and wife, that we put our true happiness on hold. Her grandma is soo much fun to be around, just as fun if not more fun then people I know. I def. think it takes time to get to that point though.

inside every middle aged man is a young boy wondering “what the hell happened?”

I think the general answer is that it depends on your definition.

i agree with clarinet chick

When your spirit makes the same creaking noise as your knees, you are too old to be young.

When your new girlfriend accidentally calls you “dad,” you’re too old to be young.

my grandfather is 95 and the other day, as he worked on another of his new inventions, he told me he was planning for his future ;)

what is youth?

funny, I am 34 years old, and a retiree of 65 called me “just a kid” today…so, there you go, a non-answer for a non-question.

i am 20. when i was 17 and i tried to get into a nightclub, a bouncer refused to allow me in as he said i looked like a 12 year old.
a few months ago a 13 year old boy said i looked 14 youngest, 18 oldest. i know i have money saved on plastic surgery when im older.

I have looked 35 since i was 15..so i am finally catching up!

no matter what, we are all ‘young’ in some aspect of our lives.

You don’t stop playing because you grow old…you grow old because you stop playing. There is no age that you are not allowed to feel young anymore. There is an age where you are meant to be matured. But mature & old and immature & young don’t always just go hand in hand.

great response adrianna

It’s all in your mind. If you feel young, regardless of what anyone thnks, you are are. If you feel old, the same holds true.

This really depends on your attitude to life and yourself. How young you look is often a reflection of how you feel about yourself, or what’s going on inside.
View it like an Iceburg. Only a small percentage is above the water line, with the greater part below the surface. We’re just the same. What we see physically is a representation of what’s going on beneath the surface. The thoughts we have about ourselves. Constant negative thoughts manifest exactly what we don’t want. Constant positive thoughts give us what we do want. The latter is harder for most of us to do, but it does work.
Obviously there are also the ‘physical’ health aspects to consider too such as what you eat, how much you drink etc. and whether or not you take care of yourself physically.

No age is too old, when the person has a young soul and he/she wants to live, to be happy, to help somebody, to improve life - then no age can make the person look or feel old.
