Ahem they said "older", not old. 50 is middle aged.

Even if a person is a simple product of their times, as one gets older that gets increasingly interesting. Because the times change so much over the years.




Middle would depend on life expectancy. The lower and upper bound is probably 30 to 50 respectively. 50 feels straight up old though. I thought 40 was considered to be the "middle"


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_age

"Middle age is the period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age."


In my book it's 40 to 59. 60+ and you old.


Would you consider Joe Rogan straight up old? He's 53.


Face it he's an almost 60 year old man.
