What do you think of people older than you?
I appreciate their recipes for comfort food.
I like how they actually listen and make eye contact.
It's a shame the female oldsters still feel compelled to wear pantyhose under their slacks for the sake of propriety
I'm glad they keep newspapers still made of paper purchasable.

Well
A couple of years old, or 20 years older?
It's a big difference.1 -
I tend to listen to them. They are often much wiser.3

They generally smell funny and far too many of them are unrepentant racists who yearn for a time when they were able to spew their hatred uncontested.9

Don’t underestimate old people. They’re people
Amendment: I don’t like a lot of people IRL but age and jaw clicking are rarely factors.
I don’t find older people sweet or necessarily wise. They are people which means they vary just like people my own age.
You are underestimating the smell.1 -

That’s disability not age. And it prompts me to compassion.
Not the rot smell. These are perfectly mobile active older persons. They just have that old smell.1 -

I like how they wear watches on their wrists.
It's odd how some of them must have the latest smartphone but they never learn how to use it.
I like how they aren't GPS dependant.
They know how to sew.

I also feel sorry for some who are lonely and no one really wants to give them the time of day (not even their own kids) because they’re old.2

Just older than you. Some youngster might be talking about 30 year olds.1

I really like those that have lived through enough that they have dropped the religious and social biases they were taught in their youth. It may not mean that they have discarded their beliefs, more that they've dropped the egocentrism that insists that their beliefs are superior and/or always applicable.4

Meh. Idealistic youthfulness has also accomplished more than moderate mild-aged complacency.1 -

So not urine or dirty clothes but that perfume smell? Yeah that’s bad. It’s Chantilly- comes in a pink box.
LOL DW used it, we met in 1966!2 -

Older than me ??1

They've had more time than me, more life-time, so if we all die tomorrow, they've won the actual "time" alive lottery1

My grandma wore pantyhose under her jeans. Gotta say, I do love how they smooth out all the lumps.
I love the oldies, the stories they tell, the sass they bring. I should call my grandma now .2 -
I am that old person.
I am the oldest person at my work.
I am the oldest biker in my group.
I have two family members that are older than me.
The reality is, most older people don't care what the younger generation thinks about them.4 -

My husband is older by 9 years. He's cool, I like him.
Wonder what someone younger would say about me as I get older? I hope my 1 month old grandson thinks I am cool older person one day.2 -
I crossed the 30 year threshold this past year, and as an ignorant rebellious young person I assumed they were all old fogies. Now I see how experience can mean they're much more awesome than I once thought.
Also I think really old people are the most adorable thing on the planet! I want to squeeze them all! We(me and husband and kids) volunteer at nursing homes, and my heart just wants to explode I love them so much!3
