Some people say 40 is old or 50 is old. Isn't age a number?? Or is it how you feel??

What age do you consider as "over the hill"??

anything over 29 is old, over 39 is ancient, and over 49 u may as well be dead

yeah. Some people are old at much younger ages (even in their 30's or 40's), and I can look at some 70 year olds and they still act youthful.

But not really 80. They're pretty old!

I'll have to go with 80/85 but that depends on how spry they are.

65

Dead.

I see women of various ages all day...one thing I've noticed is that regardless of how spry they are, physical aging is significantly apparent in the late 70- early 80's.

This, of course, is an observation of physical things...the spirit is an entirely different matter.

70 or 80 is 'old' to me.

60 is the beginning of being old.

It would depend on the context in which you discuss old. If you are running a marathon then 50 might be old. If you are trying to procreate then 45 might be old. If you are going out to clubs, then 30 might be old. If you are running for President, there's no such thing as old!

20

27 I would say is OLD enough

"Old" is how you act. If I see some 25 year old sitting on their ass all day and bones poppin' whenever they get up, They're old. Because old just means you've given up on life.
Becuase thats what we expect "old" people to do right? Go retire out on a lawn chair and spend the rest of their time giving passerby's the evil eye from the stoop.
Man, I plan to be old when I'm dead.

My dad is in his 60's. I wouldn't DARE call him old. He LOOKS young and ACTS young. He's not driving around in a Corvette with a too big baseball cap with the label still on it making an ass out of himself, but the man knows how to keep on going.

Very true...

gosh that changes every year. Everytime Byron has a birthday, I increase the age I consider old to be by one year.

At 21 years old ; ) sometime I thought that 40, 65, 80 was old …hmm!
Now that I’m almost half way to the 80. ... I have a different opinion of it

no kidding!!!

Really I do
From self-perception, some day I feel 21-love nut. … And some morning Ouch!!! Shut me please… I feel … like a nutshell with out the nut (that’s the energy).
I think some people are just old and some are wowed!!! No matter the number

A Near-synonym of old for me is cantankerous, shrewish, quarrelsome, envious, lifeless, dull and halitosis mouth that envy youth…

Common wealth
They’re young and old mention
In-between there stand
Between periods

The devil and the deep blue sea
From A to Z
I between your teeth
I don’t really give a Fahrenheit
Want to know Y

They say I’m X - a Baby bust
Strauss & Howe seal me 13 a Savvy red Fox
Boom baby boom
Giant step you’re funky hip
mp3 Background here come Y

I love Y
Y, Y, Y
Here come Y
Gospel Z begins

Ray caress Rill they swish murmurs the tree
For every step a lotus my future Z

What come next
Imagine a fool moon to shooting star
The equation fly to breadth to immensity

The older you get, the younger high numbers feel.

I think it depends a lot on the person. I have a 33 year old cousin who's been an old lady her entire life, or at least for the 23 years I've known her.

I agree. As I age, the idea of "old" seems ever farther away.

My wife thinks Madonna has something to do with it. I don't altogether disagree. Though Madge's cool factor is finally starting to stagnate, she's made every age look more chic so far.
