At what age is 'Challenging' the limits of 'Normal' considered faux-pau?

Question

And by 'challenging the definition of normal' is probably more succinct.

Answer 1

WTF is "normal" ??? Yeah, Robert called it very well. I know you. I know you are entering a very crazy place in your life. And, guess what? IT'S NORMAL!  Right on time with the rest of us (at our age) and completely exciting...and what you deserve. A chance for a fresh start and new family members and lovers,,,,And, for those who don't know PRISM...she's the coolest of the coolest of contacts.

I wish I could reveal all the details that I know about you. You are a very special, special person. And, so blessed :)...in so many ways that I can't share w/o your permission.

I hope that some of those that remember you from Y!A will responde and congratulate you on your new-found happiness and the ....oh, I can't help it, (curse me) birth of your grandson!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful baby!

You'll never know how much I missed you here :) If I could only hear...we could talk on the phone again. *teary* I know, I know enough already. So, so glad to have you back.:)...

Much love!....from you know who.

Answer 2

Example of Normal:  Older middle-aged man decides he should be an Astronomist or Physics Professor...okay...that is within reason...

Example of NOT Normal:  Older middle-aged man decides he can be an NBA Professional Basketball player, even though he is out of shape, and only stands 5'4" tall...

Thank you very much, and...

...have nice day...hope this helped...and God Bless...

You're never too old. The world is always changing. And so should your mind. You need to keep up. Otherwise what you do and think won't relevant because you're stuck in the past. It's like Columbus telling NASA what to do. It's just not valid. But most people don't continue to change. And they feel threatened by people who do. Hence the faux-pau interpretation or observation you are worried about.
