Age and Age Groups

[kallipolis]

Again, yes it does, since age/aging affects all of those things.

I repeat that a number on a birth certificate does not influence our wellness, or our physical, and mental health.

We all age, and then die. Some die earlier, than others. Why?

It is how we live that makes us who we are.

I am treating thirty year olds with heart disease as a result of their unhealthy living habits.

I am also well aware that there are many people in their sixties, and seventies who are in very good health as a result of them taking good care of their health.

Thus some people who take good care of their health age more slowly than those who do not take care of their health.

Our biological condition is determined by our choices, and not by a number on a birth certificate.

Our biological condition is determined by our choices, and not by a number on a birth certificate.

If that was the case then people who lived perfectly healthy lives would not die from old age, and all the age-related, inevitable illnesses and deficiencies that pop up because of old age.

So yes, age certainly does influence "wellness, or our physical, and mental health." You can't avoid the science behind the facts.

I wonder if Amy Winehouse ever said the same thing.



Indeed. If you ask such a question, the person will always assume that you're at least twenty-one.



You threw wine in his face because he thought you were twenty-four?



Twenty-five is only middle age if one is expected to only live to the age of fifty!



Fifty-six. How approximate!

And what if she did, she lived every day to its fullest. Who cares if she was an addict.

The bitch deserved it. 24? He's lucky I didn't slap him and insult his dress sense. Bitch.

Well, as most expect to live to 50 or more, 25 could be considered middle aged ...

Age is just like all other superficial things. People say it doesn't matter. Just like they say looks doesn't matter, size doesn't matter, wealth doesn't matter, but all these things do matter. Look at what people say when they aren't talking directly to any of these issues. Watch what they do in given situations, and you'll see these things do matter. The double talk becomes all to evident...

I must say that aging has not made me more satisfied with life. Getting older hasn't taken the fear out of it. I hate getting older, I just hate it. I'd give anything to be a teenager again. Just like I'd give anything to handsome, have a great physique, or a nicely sized cock. I'd even settle for a an average cock. No, I don't believe 5" is average. I'd give anything to be happy. I know none of this is possible, but I'm just saying...

Age is merely a number that presumes to determine our state of well being, when in reality it is not our age, but our life choices that determine our biological condition at any time in our life.

I recognise that the ageing process will in due time change our appearance, from the youthful good looks of our teen years, to a more mature appearance by the time we reach 50.

Have a look at Giorgio Armani and then recognise that even at 77 years of age this fashion designer continues to make an effort to remain healthy, attractive and appealing to those who enjoy the company of older men.

And you can still see that age is taking and has taken its toll on him. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by posting this image.

No one has suggested that the ageing clock can be stopped. Rather our positive life choices ensure that we remain healthy, fit and attractive despite advancing age.

The issue is how we live our life in order that we benefit from our choices that should create a healthy, more mature, wiser and satisfied person.

To obsess on the youthfulness of our early life and ignore the benefits that accrue from growing wisdom is to reject the creative choices made by people such as Giorgio Armani who patently makes a big effort to remain healthy, and attractive even in old age.

I am sure that Giorgio Armani does not spend time worrying over a number on his birth certificate.

People's opinion of young/middle/old will change based upon their own age.

Let me make up my own list.

under 21. Inexperienced. Immature (and I do not mean that in the insulting sense).

22 - 55 - Experienced

56 and up - Mature

Old/middle/young is way too subjective.

Also, it's too easy to mix in there the idea, even subconsciously, "What ages do I find attractive"

 

[curiousunistudent]

Why would you do such a thing? You seem to have a lot of negative energy, which is not only very unhealthy but aging.

Pessimism is good. Negative energy makes you look at the world with scrutiny. It leads to you not being hurt as much as you could be. Saying that, I pour my heart and soul into everything leading to me being hurt very many times. This will no doubt have aged me horrifically as well!!

No, they don't. Nothing is "ensured."

Giorgio Armani might look decent for his age, but you cannot compare him to an equally fit, healthy 20-something, nor could you compare a 40-something to an equally fit, healthy 20-something.

I don't think old, middle, and young are subjective, biologically speaking. How we approach them and define them, is the difference, and that is subjective.

An argument could be made for both ways of thinking. I understand what you are both were saying above. I believe the point he was trying to make is that age is no indicator of health.

I'm 39 and I can still run up and down the block and am in very good health.

Amy Winehouse is 27 and dead.

You can't compare those circumstances, but OK.

 

[jawswho]

I always ask to see a persons ID before I'll even have a conversation with them.
Just joking. I'm dating a few different guys right now one is 21 the other is 34. Neither asked how old I was when the approached me. I'm 47

I'm not seeing the healthy part. He looks like skin cancer waiting to happen.

 

[yummylongsword]

Young = 0 - 35
Middle Aged = 36 - 60
Old = 61 - ∞

Of course, there are far more breakdowns which are significant, especially within the "young" category.

Newborn = 0 - 1
Toddler = 1 - 3
Small Child = 3 - 9
Adolescent = 9-13
Teen = 13-18
"Young Prime" = 18-24
The Grad Years = 24-30
Transition to Middle Age = 30-40
All Grown Up = 40-55
Older = 55-65
Elderly = 65-∞

Past "All Grown Up" people tend to start aging differently... you could put a 50 year old next to a 60 year old next to a 70 year old and not be able to tell the difference, depending on the people.

couldn't have said that better.

 

[DragOneON]

how condescending of you.

I get that you want to make your own list and all, but you're insulting everyone's intelligence here by following your statement with I do not mean that in the insulting sense.

And I was born last Tuesday.

Please, your attitude was radiating through that entire post.

Immature in the same sense that a wine is not mature until a certain age. Not as in immature " you act like a little immature ass"

I'm 39. One of my closest friends is 20. He is not mature in the sense of age and time on this world, but he is very mature.

I'm sorry that's what you got from that. There was absolutely no malice intended. I simply meant it in terms of life experience. ie. maturity.

 

[jasoncrew03]

I am scared of turning 20

I was too. But trust me this has been the best year of my life so far.

This is often not true. Older people may have more life experience but that doesn't mean they've been through more hardship, had more impacting experiences, or more important ones. I've known 10 years olds who are older in experience than 50 year olds (and it's always a tragedy). I've gotten into several debates/arguments with adults about this and often they can't equate many of their experiences with my own. As they say, quality vs. quantity.
