How old is old?

[JLCrab]

And the first part of that above (almost) quote from Woody Allen's Annie Hall was:

Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera] There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life -

I am in my fifties.

Last night (and this morning) I had sex three times with my girl who is 30.

I rose early and made us a breakfast of bannana smoothies with honey, tropical fruit salad, pancakes, poached eggs and Boh black tea (made in a tea pot).

I have just got back from a 4 hour surfing session on a secret reef break not far from my house. Nice glassy end of season ground swell with the odd barrel now and then.

I am sitting now, wasting time on TV, and have just demolished 2 beng beng chocolate bars and 8 jack and jill cream o choco plus cookies.

This afternoon I will start preparing dinner. Barbequed baby octopus and fresh whiting ( I bought for 70thb a kilo straight from the net of a local fisherman).

At 5 pm when my girl gets home from work I will kiss her passionately, hug her, rock back and forth a bit...and then we will cook and eat our seafood dinner accompanied by salad picked fresh from our garden.

Am I old?

Yep.

Do I care?

Nope...

Oh...and village farang...well done on that phrase "nostalgic morass"...I wish I had coined it.

Gee that is quite a lot of stamina you describe there ... and you, too.

Age is a number, we are all different, your genes perhaps are the key to ones situation or thoughts on age...

I am on the wrong side of my seventh decade, but I went lifting weights last week...If I go to a party and am asked to sing, I will, you name it, I will have a go, Elvis, Floyd, Taylor, The Who.....I have NO problem with age at all except my brain cells and knees, not much else...Oh, a fat bloke poster that don't live here gets on my nerves.......

Trans in your age you should have the wisdom to ignore above mentioned individual...what does the tree cares if the the wild boar is scratching on it....

Can't get it up without a blue tab.... You are old..

Comment saying I am xx but look good for my age.. You are old

Or.. I am xx but I go to the gym and have a good body... You are old

jeez some "old blokes" get defensive. "what would a 20 year old know about age?" well he'd know that 50 is old. Even if you are fighting, <deleted> and training like you were in your younger days it doesn't mean your not old. Yes age is just a number... that tells you how old you are. It is actually easily quantifiable, for arguments sake just say the average life expectancy for most of is is 70 -80, then again, for most of us once you hit 35-40 your sliding into old age. I accept that two 40 years olds might have very different physiological ages dependent on their fitness, vices and lifestyles but it's no guarantee your going to outlive the old, fat, pisshead who smokes a lot. So whether or not you wish to believe, acknowledge or even accept it, once you pass middle age you are getting old. I got no problems with getting old I embrace it. I've outlived plenty and lived a charmed life so whether people perceive me to be old or not has no bearing on my enjoyment of same.

Why do you keep pushing the point? I don't see any 60 or 70 year olds saying they're young, and as anyone knows, when you're 20 even 30 seems old, and the idea of 70 seems an eternity away, but believe me it comes around soon enough. I think there's a few ageist members on this forum who think they'll be young forever. News flash, you won't.

Clearly then you didnt read most of the reaponses to the OP senility might be catching up with you. Im not ageist far from it but the question is clearly when are you old yes? Not about how old do i feel or a shopping list of shit i can still do at 50/60/70.

Not ageist, but you're calling me senile. I could probably sum you up,as an arrogant smart arse, but I won't.
