When do you think middle age begins?

Recommended Posts

People are living a lot longer, 60 used to be old. My dad is 70 this year, and I still don't think he seems old, as my job involves seeing lots of people in their 80s & 90s, a lot of whom are still quite active.


As a result of all this, the whole middle age thing is a bit confusing. I'm about the same age as you, and I don't think I'd call myself "young" anymore, but I certainly don't see myself as middle aged, as I don't think that really kicks in til you're about 50.

My middle age began at 42 when my first kid was born. 30 year olds really shouldn't worry about middleage I much preferred my 30s to my 20s - still in good nick, more confident, more dosh..your 30s are great. Enjoy.

When do you think middle age begins? sooner than you think, and it ends during mid to late fifties,

after that when you hit the 60's you are old and achey and travel is a burden, and sleeping in your own bed at night becomes important.

You cannot stray more than 250 yards from a flush toilet and everyone you ever knew has moved away or died.

Do not worry most of you will not see it as the big blue flash will remove all hardships.

By mid sixties one becomes depressed at the miserable outlook of the inevitable future, as what future you once had is positively behind you.

I prefer to think that it will come the day I stop skateboarding regardless of which county I live in.


But who knows. It?s all fields around there anyway. No concrete in sight.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
