How old is "young"?

[Smell The Glove]

Because I'm a few months shy of 23 and I feel like I've well and truly passed the "young" stage of my life. Most of the athletes out there my age are into their prime and I suppose because I follow a few different sports thats the gauge I use.

So, do you consider yourself old (or at least, not young) and at what age would you say the defintion of young ends?

 

[Virgil]

"Young" is comparative. I still consider myself to be young (turned 23 a couple of months ago), but it does seem odd to look at footy players' profiles to find established stars who are younger than I am . When did that happen?

Also, I would not consider someone in their early 30's to be young, but people of an older generation probably would.

 

[magic_johnson!]

at 15, i definently see myself as young.
stop being young when you get married and start a family and start having the responsibilities, or 30...whichever comes first

 

[lions_den]

25 and younger. I don't feel my age. I'm 19 and feel 15. Feels like yesterday I was 15.

You really didn't think that sentence through, did you MJ?

high school kids = young disrespectful punk arse kids.

young adults 19-22 = young punks who think they know everything.

23-28 = young punks in their prime who get all the women.

28-30 = mature

30-35 = has been (if they're lucky)

35+ = mobile phone in a puch on your belt. t-shirt tucked into shorts. "Young punks these days have no respect, I think we should have national service to harden them up". "Where's my slippers?"

 

[tcwaters]

you forgot, run 3klm time trial in 11min 08 sec. well that's me anyway, how many of you "young punks" could beat that? as for the 28-30 mature, **** me you're miles off there, 23-28 "get all the women", that should start around 17-18 unless you've got a head like a busted arse it's not hard to pull women around that age.

 

[Mr P@H]

You're as old as the woman/man you feel.

Young is not an age, it's a thirst for life, for knowledge and looking ahead and seeing life. I myself (Am 19) see myself as "old" now because i always dwell on the past, where i went wrong, how things screwed up and stuff.

 

[bresker]

When you get married, have kids, get divorced, have responsibilities- that's when you start to feel old.

Enjoy it while you're young, kids! Not that you can't have fun when you're older, but it's a different type of fun.

 

[omit]

less than the age of consent = too young
that's all i worry about

 

[Hard Ball Get]

23 is the age where I started to feel older.
I was over clubs and all that sort of thing and I became a differnt bloke really.
It took longer to recover after a night on the piss and a game of footy was harder to get through as well.
It's all down hill from 23.

 

[rocker_oz33]

30 is the NEW 20

 

[MF]

As soon as you stop learning, innovating, improving, growing and having fun you're old. Keep doing all those things and age really is just a number. At least that's what I tell myself with my 29th birthday approaching fast.

A good quote on that...

"You don't stop playing games because you get old, you get old because you stop playing games".

that'd be you pindick with your immature generalisations.

Get a sense a humour you gobbler.

What sort of guzzler posts how quick they can run a time trial? Expecting a medal or something?

it is a sense of humour you ****ing idiot, in response to your generalisation of over 35's.

 

[quickstraw]

it is a sense of humour you ****ing idiot,

That's not the impression I get. Sounds like you're trying to hard to prove that you are "young". Clearly you're an old has-been.

Wearing your mobile on your belt yet?

No need to shed a tear.
