Answer 10

When they consider themselves old..

Answer 11

Well first, no one who's younger than me can be old.  Beyond that I think in many ways it's a matter of attitude and world view, I've got a friend in her 60s who's still a kid in some ways, and that is in no way suggested as being a bad thing.

Answer 12

anyone older than me is old in my point of veiw so yeah 16 year olds are ancient lol

Answer 13

The older I get the more I push that definition back. When I was a child I thought 30 was over the hill. I'll be 35 next month and now, 70 is my new "old".

Answer 14

This depends.

I've seen people who are 70 that look fabulous.

Then again I've seen people who are 45 and look 70.

It's more to do with how people led their lives, did they take care of themselves, or did they do drugs, chain smoke, eat fast food, did they exercise?

Answer 15

my definition of old changes as I age.  40 used to be old..but as I'm now 37, 80 seems to be the beginning of old age. My mother in law is 72, works 35 hours a week and she travels around the world, and I don't really see her as old considering how active she is.
