Fine, but grandparents seem sooooo old to nongrandparents. It just does. It's a barrier that people don't want to cross.

No, to just you and your mind set. I am 50 with HS kids. No they don’t seem old based on grandparent status. I mean a grandparent can be old or have an old mindset but they are synonymous.

Maybe take a survey. I bet most people who don't have grandkids feel the same as I do.

Why would I do that? I don’t care who other people date.

By the way, the people who seem the oldest to me are middle aged people who never had children. Many of them (of course, not all) seem left behind in 1990.

Think when you were 20 op. Did you not think anyone 50yo was really “old”. That’s you now.

I've observed the opposite. People who never had children often seem to retain youthful curiosity and a sense of adventure.

At 50 I’m building a new life without the cheating wife and prospects are better than I expected. The body isn’t as resilient as it used to be, but dropping the deadweight of an unappreciative wife has been so amazing. Not even interested in dating, just enjoying making my personal decisions without ridicule. Feels nice to get hit on, but better to have a little peace in my life.

50 is middle aged. Not particularly old, not particularly young, just in the middle.

I’m 51. 50 is old. The problem is that it is ingrained that old=bad but I don’t think it’s true. Old means not young.

Sounds like someone needs a bigger vocabulary. My parents are 80. They are old. I am not the same kind of old as my parents, sorry. That’s way too broad a term to apply to a span of 30-40 years.

Why? I am closer in age to your parents than my teens. Frankly, all these defenses that 50 is not old has more to do with people’s insecurities than anything of meaning. If you are living a great life, who care if someone younger than you thinks you are old.

Because 50 is not old. Average longevity for women who are now 50 would be 94 yo, if healthy. It’s 44 more years of an adult life, on average

Also old? If a 2 year old is young, how can a 25 year old be young? You guys are hilarious.
