What age do you consider over the hill?

[PapaStinky]

I was thinking 50?

Well that’s depressed me -I am 61- I think over the hill is in your 90s and then only when your quality of life is not what you want x

I am 65 and nowhere over the hill ! Just been to yoga , meeting friends for lunch and pub quiz tonight !! Fortunately my health is fine. I think 90+ might be more accurate ( except for HM!)

It's about 10 years older than you are at any age.

50? How fucking rude are you?

Over the hill for what, though?

I'm in my 60s. Work full time, ride my ponies, walk my dogs, do my garden, have an active and very fulfilling sex-life with my slightly younger DP.

No I can't do certain activities anymore (knackered knees so no marathons!) but I have my own teeth and hair and am still a size 8/10.

So, no, I do not consider myself even in the foothills, let alone over the damn thing!

I’d agree with Ansi I’d say after your mid 90’s, because you are on the last stretch by then. That’s not to say that there aren’t people 95+ still living their lives how they want but I think it’s when things are more likely to decline, possibly rapidly. That’s from experience with family members that have made it to that age though.

I feel I should add, I’m 30.

Over the hill meaning what exactly?

Over the hill for what?

I'm fifty, I'm in the gym most days, I work, I have an active social life.

What exactly am I over the hill for. Genuine question.

Sure 50 is dried up and pretty ancient isn't it ? life is practically over

It depends in what context.

Why are you asking?

For me, it’s not linked to an age but to a mindset.
Define what you mean by ‘Over the hill’ if you want a discussion, rather than just being an offensive CF. I’m 60, and I’m often over the hills and far away.

I’m 53 and looks wise I am certainly not over the hill, thank you very much!

I think you become over the hill when your health falters.

I know plenty of vibrant people in their 60s, 70s and beyond.

Fuck off.

Sure this post shouldn't have #innocentface after it?
You know you are being goady coming out with that and not qualifying with excatly what you mean.

Never!

Sorry, that should say

when your health permanently falters.

28 I'm 28 and I feel old!! I'm hoping I find my second wind when the kids get a big bigger!! I hope I don't feel this exhausted for the rest of my life

I'm actually 50 today! lol. Didn't realise that in the last 24 hours I became "over the hill".

I'm assuming OP is being a goady fucker deliberately.

OP, have you seen J-Lo, Jennifer Anniston, Julianne Moore, Gwen Stefani, Matthew Mcconaughey, Cate Blanchett recently? All turn 50 this year.

Fucking past it the lot of ‘em.

I too turn 50 later this year. I swim, do pilates, take my dogs hill walking, can dance till 4am (and did so at the weekend) and thank the Lord I’ve developed the maturity some seem to be lacking

@Asta19 condolence. Please go and wrap yourself in a shroud immediately!

Seriously - Happy Birthday!

Correct me if I’m wrong, you are around 45, overweight and Scottish?
Not long for you then...make a bucket list quick!

What?

It really depends on what over the hill means to you - if it’s meant to be a metaphor to illustrate the fact that one has reached or gone beyond the midpoint of one’s lifespan in years, then yes, fifty is likely to be it.

If it means getting to the point where you can no longer be bothered and you might as well get old now and just sit around waiting to die, or your worth as a person is somehow diminished because you’re no longer in the flush of youth then no, fifty is not it. Nor is any other age.

I tend to think of it as a state of mind. I’ve no intention of becoming aged until I’m actually aged, all being well. If I had to put an age on that I’d say maybe 75? But these things really are very variable. I don’t really see the point in making it age specific.

Have my very first

41, my knees are complaining, my chin is growing new hairs and I just had to get glasses for the first time... so 41, lol
