When is somebody "middle-aged?"

[almareallymatters]

So...when are you officially "middle-aged?"

Somebody at work referred to me as such today...I'm 41...but I sure don't feel "middle-aged" at all...I'm in my bloody prime!

But I guess I am approximately half way through my life now?

What say you?

[Not Right in the Head]

Anybody who's at least 5 years older than me, no matter what age I am.

If it's any consolation, alma, you don't look at all middle-aged to me, despite what I just said.

I say 40-50. Because isn't middle aged literally halfway through your life? People these days live to about 80-ish.

I don't know. Just my opinion. But I'm also 18. I just had a revelation that I've almost been alive 20 years...and I was devastated. So perhaps I'm not an adequate representation of opinion

18-35 = young

36-45= mature

46-55 = middle-aged

55-65 = Senior

65+ = Elderly

Aren't you married to a younger man? So you are as old, as the man you feel

Sure am...but I reckon he's more middle-aged than I am!...but that could just be down to me...I'm VERY demanding!

Anyone says things like, " It wasn't like that when I was younger " and "You don't you're born, you lot." That's when you know it's not long until you start to piss yourself and walk round town feeding the pigeons

anybody older than me. i'll never be "middle aged" btw.

This is a question i have been mentally going over because I am forty this year.And I am definitely starting to feel like hyperventilating at the prospect.

I used to think forty was middle aged but have now decided it is actually fifty.

I wish I could go back to being twenty and doing a few things differently.

I agree!...let's stick at 50 Hellie!

(although that does leave a certain bequiffed pop icon staring straight down the barrell! )

Anybody at least 10 years older than me (I'm 31). But objectively it's 40-50.

 

[Jose]

I once read a phrase by I don't remember who that went something like this:
"middle-aged is the number halfway your own age and 100"
So for me that would make 70 "middle-aged".

On the subject of middle age I'm off to dye my roots and slap on an anti wrinkle face mask.
