At what point do you feel 'Middle Aged'?

[MobCounty]

No not the 5th through 16th centuries.

I mean, have you felt middle aged in life?

This week is the first week I really felt like I was out of reach from being young. Maybe it's the fact I am rolling up on 40 in a few months.. Maybe it's the fact I turn on MTV and wonder what the hell I am looking at.. I dunno. At what point did you guys feel the same thing?

almost 37 and haven't hit it yet. i have felt really old at times going all the way back to when i turned 26.

I still act like a child at age 30, I assume once a house and the kids are added at some point I will feel it

[Jujubees2]

I'm 45, married for 14 years with two kids (12 and 10) and still don't feel middle aged. I think part of it is working at a college and dealing with 17-21 year-olds on a regular basis.

Mathematically, I have passed middle age.
The men in my family dont generally last past 70 (my dad made it to 74 and he holds the record). So middle aged for me wouldve been 35. I'm past that.

Psychologically, I work with 20 somethings and have to keep up. I also try to date 20 somethings and have to keep up. End result being I feel alot younger than I am... with an occasional feeling of oldness.

So, to answer the question, I'm 42 this month and dont FEEL middle aged, altho I most certainly am.

you know your getting old when you sit on the toilet and your nuts dangle in the water.

That usually ages someone twice as fast

Dunno. Maybe 2 months from now.

Aw, shucks. You dont look so bad yourself!

When you think: That Blowhard guy is right about . . . .

[Bill From Yorktown]

started to feel that way when the latest centerfolds were born while I was in college. Really hit the wall when I spent a month in the hopsital in Jan and a month home on disability in Feb (menengitis - almost bought the farm) - then I come back to hear Fezzie's under the weather.

2008 is not looking good so far. Let's hope it gets better.

I am very similar to Sailor in that I have felt very old for many years now. However, I don't know if I will ever feel "Middle Aged" since I already feel like I am on borrowed time.

I honestly thought I would be dead by now. Not that I am complaining, but when you expect to go at any minute you don't think about being "Middle Aged" all that much.

And I don't have a terminal disease or anything - I am just that pessimistic.

[Jughead]

It hit me at about 48 or so....But Im extremely high miles....A lot of fun though....But I feel my best years have passed........Ps Im pretty sure to

When I look at the new hires in my office. These kids were born when I was in high school.

I am a high school teacher, around 16-18 yr olds all day and realized after this conversation I'm middle aged, and a threat to progress(46):

Student(making a comment on Pap in Huck Finn): He has a strong pimp hand

Me: No, I dont think Pap would be good with the ladies

Student: No, his pimp hand is strong the way he smack Huck around

So a pimp hand is the ability to use violence to keep one's hos in line? Not the ability to charm the ho into a sexual foray? :happy:
