At any given time, it is several years older than I am at that time.

Well, gosh, I suppose that would vary a bit, wouldn't it? Say for the 80-odd years old men and women who are far more physically active and fit than I have ever been in my life.....or all my life....put together.... That's not old for being old, for sure!
I thought 30 was old till I hit 21. Then suddenly it wasn't so funny anymore. I've not yet hit 25, and find myself attracted to men up to their mid-forties, so can't say that's old, really, I guess. If I had to pick an average, 60 maybe??? But I'm sure in 5 more years that won't seem too distant either....

It's a state of mind and body. It's different for everyone. If you don't take care of yourself, you age faster. And staying young at heart (not acting like an immature brat)can't hurt.
But I think after 80 you are old, no matter how well you take care of yourself.

According to my 7 y/o 14 is very old. I think 50 is old. I dont want anybody to feel old b/c of my answer, Im sure that when Im 40, fifty wont seem old.

You are old when you start thinking you are old. I've seen people in their 70s wearing braces(brackets on their teeth), which means they are still planning for their future to look better. I've also seen people in their 20s planning their burial services,(buying death insurance).
Your body ages when your mind does.

I like the answer Ann Landers once gave for "What is middle aged?" She said it's about ten years older than you are until you reach 65,then it's "about now"
?

Well I'm 50 and I sure don't look more then 35....my daughter is 18 and her boyfriends hit on me...so I'd say much much older.
