To think by 30 you are middle aged

[BeLemonDeer]

And there is no getting away from it really

Never one to mince your words! 🤣

hard agree.

@BeLemonDeer I'm sorry to hear you've had a lot of young deaths in your family, but no, 30 is NOT middle aged. It's not defined by people in your family. Personally I'd say mid 50's at the earliest, but I suppose statistically it's mid 40's, but I'd never class someone mid 40's as middle aged.

Jesus Christ what silly logic. 30 and 60 year olds in the same category. Bottom set logic.

Nope, you're about 15-20 years short there, assuming someone of average/"normal" health!

YABU.
Middle age starts at 40 at the very youngest. I’m 41 and don’t feel middle aged at all.

@UltimateSloth

Just about yes, if you consider that middle age is a span, not just a single year in the middle of a lifespan.
0-29 - young
30-60 - middle aged
60+ -old.

Where did you get this nonsense from? The middle ages? 😆

How fucking ridiculous.

No, that's absurd. Thirties is just beginning adulthood really.

Yes utter nonsense.

a lot of these have complete skipped 'adult' between young adult & middle aged 🤣🤣

I'm fast approaching 60 and think it's old. At 30, you're approaching middle age. I'd say by 35, you are middle aged.

Again you are talking absolute nonsense, I don't know why this keeps getting posted !

Does it matter?

I'm always curious when people worry about this sort of thing. I'm 51.

Am I middle aged?

Well, I'm not planning on living until I'm 100 so I guess I must be!

But does it matter? What would change if I gave myself a life stage label?

Average life expectancy is about 81. So, no.

And if you look at the average 40 year old female, I wouldn’t say they were even middle aged.

Spot on!

Its dropped certainly, middle aged used to be 50+ now id say its def more around the 35-40 mark.

Do you think when 83 is the average lifespan that 30 is half of 83?

That’s nice, dear. 🙄

How can a 35 year old be middle aged what are you basing this on @CombatBarbie

madness.

you can feel how you like about yourself (even though I'd be curious to know why you feel old in your 50's?? I'm 57 & had a stroke & still don't feel 'old')

but you can't decide that's objectively old & 30 is middle aged. 30 is just basically 'adult'
'

I’m 30, I’m one of only two people I know to be married or own a home. Only 2 others have had any babies. If we’re all middle aged the world is doomed.

I think you should revisit this when you’re 30

Not enough fingers & toes...

🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👍🏻🤣🤣🤣

Goodness no, didn’t admit to middle age until my 50’s

Oh ! 😀

My sister and I are 46 and 48 and wouldn’t say we are middle aged yet. Neither of us has hit menopause so I would say middle age is early fifties to 65. With 65 plus older and elderly at around 85.
