Man do I ever feel old now!

I grouped the decades but I would say any year the in the 1960's and before is old.

It just depends on your perspective. When I was mid 20s, I thought someone who is late 30s is old. Now that I have reached 39, I don't think I am old. Not at all. It's relative anyway.

 

[notDatsyuk]

At 71, I consider myself older, but I never think of myself as 'old'.

I ski, I cycle, I play hockey (a couple of the guys in my pickup are 1/3 my age), I drum, and I still do a bit of construction work.

Age is just a number.

 

[freshwind]

not sure .... at 66 I still haven't figured out what I want to do when I grow up ....

1960s is old.


Missed it by a week.

yep!

When I was 24 two guys about 20 yelled over to me, “Sir do you the time?” And when I was 25 a 21 year old girl said to me, sheesh you are over the hill now.

When you hit 55, you're officially old. I've felt that way for decades now.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

All I know is it goes faster and faster.

I can still remember sitting on a couch, having a great time, doing my thing and suddenly realizing that I will never have times like those young days again. I think this was in my early 30's.

I'm thankful may parents are still alive, they were born in '43 and '44. I was born in '78 and the youngest.

I'm feeling the old age with regards to injuries from work taking forever to recover, yet still doing my job anyway.

Personally I will feel old at 50. If I make it.

But it depends on what you're talking about. I feel like that clip was asking these hockey players "what is old" based on athletic ability, and that's totally different.

Most of them say 80's, which has been trendy for a while now. I thought the 80's was super cheesy, and the 90's were my days.

But looking back, wow a lot of weird cool stuff did happen in the 80's. A very transitional decade I guess. But I didn't like that decade because what's a pre-teen boy getting out of the 80's other than awesome cartoons and Nintendo?

If you stopped doing all that at 40, you would have felt old then. Keep on working.

I’m in my sixties and mind wise I still feel like a kid, but my body doesn’t agree, I’m paying for what I did in my younger days now, growing old isn’t for sissies. Embrace the suck and keep on keeping on………

When I joined HF as a teen I thought what old ass loser would be on a hockey forum in their 30's. Well here I am now lol. I still feel like a teen most days to be fair.

 

[CuuuJooo]

That video was one of the most upsetting things I have ever seen. The fact that they all appear to consider Tanev and Tavares ancient when they're a decade younger than me hurts me in my soul.

 

[BertCorbeau]

My back hurts now after watching that

 

[keonsbitterness]

Anyone older than me is old. Anyone younger than me needs to stay in school or go back to school.

I can now feel every hit I took playing hockey and football...

Everytime I throw a baseball now, I can feel the wear and tear of throwing incorrectly for so many years.

A long car ride is now enough for my hips to seize up.

Ugh

 

[Arzak]

IMHO you never feel old (or you feel old since hitting 30).

But once you hit 50, you can use "I'm too old for this sh*t !"

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Well. You still have an entire 30 years left. Perhaps "older" is a better term. Old to me is 70.

true that, I sometimes wish someone would have told me I will pay dearly for my wreck less behavior, but I probably would have ignored it. When your young you think your invincible, I was no exception to this.............

3 seniors are bitching about life in the old age home, the 70 year old says "just once I wish I could wake up the have a real good piss." the 80 year old saws, "nah I wish I could wake up and take a big quality dump." the 90 year old saw "you kids have got it all wrong, every morning I have a good piss and a huge dump, I only wish I could get up before noon.'

Oddly enough, I wasn't doing all that at 40.

The first time I went downhill skiing I was 58. I started drumming at 54. I hadn't ridden a bicycle in about 20 years before I picked it up again in my 50s. I was doing more hiking and canoeing in my 40s and 50s than I do now, but I've really been more active the last 15 odd years.

One of our docs tells the story about a women that survived cancer, changed her diet, started exercising in her 60s, and was climbing mountains in her 90s . Never too late.

I used to play with a guy who had double bypass surgery in his late 40s - in his mid-50s was playing with his sons in our 35+ league.

Another friend just turned 89 and still plays pedal steel and fiddle at dances twice a week with a 'bunch of young guys' - in their 50s.

If you were alive when Bill Barilko decided to fly out on a fishing trip, you’re old… like me.
