    And isnt 36 pretty much middle-age?

    Aren't you pretty much geriatric once you hit 30?
    You kids - get off my lawn.

    I'm pretty sure "middle-age" is when you hit the half-way mark of the average life expectancy...which I believe is currently 79 yrs old for Americans......... so then about 40 is officially middle-aged.

    you beat me to it!

    My 30's have been the best time ever! I feel like I'm still young enough to enjoy life, yet mature enough to know/have/be what I want. The big 4-0 coming up in 5 months. We'll see. I do know that on my 40th birthday I'll be in the best shape I've been in since my 20's.

    I don't consider 33 old at all, but I will admit, when I say the phrase "Only older men hit on me" I'm primarily talking about the 35-45 range. So it's sort of contradictory. But then again older can just mean older than me lol
    Older men will always hit on you. For me that's 50 year olds lol

    Since 89 is my median life expectancy age. I've only experienced 1/3 of my life. My youngest kid is only 8 months. 30 is NOT old at all. Im so blown away by this statement. Maybe if someone feels old at 30 they have emotional or other health issues that weigh them down .

    Lol, at 33 I was a rock star!!!!! I was dating a popular DJ in the SF Bay area and kicking it backstage with many singers. Not to mention my fitness was off the hook too!

    Since I turned 39 and growing up is the last thing I will admit to doing.

    Don't rush the "getting old" thing!! Who wants to get old?

    BE YOUNG!

    18-34 is considered a young adult. Assuming you live to be 90, 45 is middle aged. Assuming you live to be 80, 40 is middle aged. I think any age where you can still reproduce is probably what constitutes being young. So, 15-45 is young, I guess.

    33 is young! I love my 30's I'm old enough to have learned from my mistakes but young enough to make plenty more. I can't complain.

    When you're a senior citizen and referring to someone as 33 .. then, and only then is that young

    I'm 34 and I still feel like a naive, ignorant girl sometimes. But I have a good career, and a paycheck that would shame most men half again my age. So age has it's privileges. :D

    33 is young if you are a scientist - you can still apply for "early career awards" if you're under 35!

    I'm 31 so still a baby! :-)

    Age is just a number. At the age of 50, 51, 52, and 53, I left 20 somethings eating my dust during weight lifting competitions. Yep, I won 4 championship titles in a row.

    As for 33, dang, I have shoes older than that! My youngest KID is 13 years OLDER than that! I'm almost 64 and healthier than I was at the tender age of 33.

    At 33 you're not even old enough to run for President! :bigsmile:

    If ~80 is the average life expectancy, and 40 is the halfway mark, then wouldnt a 10 year range of 35-45 be middle age and 45+ be elderly?

    I'll be 40 in a few months...I'm totally having a mid-life crisis and I can't afford a sports car or a motor cycle...until my kids get to school and out of daycare.
