To think 30 is middle

[Middleaged77]

And the denial within society isn’t helpful

Oh no - it’s op again

Yes. She's done more than one thread on this supposed age gap relationship.

These threads have to stop!!! YABVVVVVU as you have been told by 100s of other posters on aaaaaalllllll your other threads about this.
Your 23 year old daughter dating a (just) 30 year old man is perfectly normal. GET OVER IT.
He is not middle aged at 30 (and even if he was so what!) I can’t fathom what you are hoping to achieve by posting the same thing over and over but again, a 7 year gap between two adults is absolutely ok. You really need to move on.

Yup. People like me. Until I look in a mirror!

Middle age is about 50-55 its half way through your adult life, not whole life

I presume you mean middle aged? No, 30 isn't. I don't think anything below about 45 is these days. I am 43 and I think of myself as young, not as middle aged (although to be fair I look a lot younger than most 43 year olds)

Exactly. To put it in terms of celebrities, think of the actresses Lily James and Keira Knightley. Do you really think they are 'middle aged'?

My DD once told my DH years ago that he'd be dead soon, after he'd just turned 45. 😳😂

So, I reckon he must be positively mummified now, aged 56. I'm definitely about to go then too, while his grandparents must be fossilised aged early 80s.

Yep. 30 is the new 75. Enjoy your youth while you can.🤣👀

Middle what? The Middle East? The Middle Ages? Middle of the road?

Another ridiculous thread from this poster….

According to Google, middle aged is 40 - 64 years.

So come back in 10 years time and moan about your 33 year old daughter dating a Middle aged man.

I'm 6 months away from 40 and don't consider myself anywhere near middle aged!

There was another stupid thread about 30 being middle aged the other day 🙄

Nonsense.

Yeah it was the same OP. Clearly a bit of weird obsession- best not to fuel it. Let her think 30 is practically an OAP if she wants to

Is the OP referring to their IQ?

No of course it isn't.

I met my husband at 18 and he was 25. We met at work in a bar and are still together 15 years later, married for 10 with 2 children.

You need to unclench, your daughter is an adult and he is not middle aged.

If your daughter's 22 she's already way past it in TikTok years. The real taste arbiters are age 7-12. Might as well date the middle aged bloke, even if he's only 30.

Not more of this ridiculous nonsense @Middleaged77

So, no. Based on an average life span of 0-80, middle age is generally deemed to be 45-65. Ie approximately the middle 1/3 of our adult lifespan. (Childhood 0-18/21, Adulthood 21-45 Middle Age 45-65, Old age 65+). Obviously as laws change and life expectancy changes, perspectives about when the three stages of adulthood begin and end change and these rough ages expand. Personally, I plan to skip middle age entirely and just remain an ‘adult’ until a medical professional tells me that perhaps I am now old. Hopefully in my late 70s.

You are confusing ‘middle’ with ‘midpoint’ - the latter being unknown and undefinable until we die.

But I suspect you know this.

Why do you keep posting such weird shit😂

Failing to articulate your point isn't helpful....

Has the OP actually left school yet, I wonder?

How many people do you know who live to 110!?!

Average life span for women is 81, I think, slightly lower for men. So 40 is middle aged.

OP clearly felt she wasn't getting enough attention with her other current bonkers thread.

She thinks her23 year old daughter is dating a middle aged man.

Said man is 29.
