There are people that reach 50?????????? dinosaurs!
Haha ... It's the new 40!!
by Brian I on September 18th, 2007
Anybody ten years younger than me must be young because I'm not old.
by SASSYWI-Q-Sassia-Jetpacking with NASCAR on September 18th, 2007
YOUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trust me!!!!!!!!!!
by weatherman taking week or so off on September 18th, 2007
I turned 50 this year. Fifty is not so bad. There's alot to be said for being as young as you feel. Exercise, etc, are important aspects to looking and feeling young.
BTW, this is payback for me. I lost my hair before 21 and people used to think I was years older than I was; now they think I'm years younger.
by Drastic on September 18th, 2007
EDIT:
I don't consider 50 to be old at all.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on September 18th, 2007
I'm almost there, 2 years and 2 days to go. When I was young, 50 was ancient. I feel pretty good, so I will say not so old.

I'm 53 and I know I can still keep up and even out do many younger people in many ways ...including in the bed room !
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on September 18th, 2007
YOung, young, young...(are you getting worried?)
by gone on September 18th, 2007
When I was young, 50 sounded ancient. They say that old is always 20 years older than you are. But now that I'm in my mid-50's (for awhile yet, smile), I like to see people my age behaving like elders and not trying to 'act' young. To everything there is a season.

Young. Most of my friends are about 50. As well as many of the guys I've dated. If they can keep up with this 29 year-old, they're not "old."
by Not Here Anymore on September 18th, 2007
50 is still young...that's my (fifty-year old) story & I'm stickin' to it! LOL
by Nosey-Steve on March 16th, 2008
Young.
by Blank Savage on September 18th, 2007
personally I don't but funny how age works.
when your young 50 looks very old
when your reaching 50 it is depressing and scary
when you hit 50 you think hey I dont feel any different.
when you pass 50 by you say to those 50 and younger. ah your haven't lived yet wait until you get to my age.

Age anit nothin but a number
by Patti jo on December 15th, 2007
Well now since I'm over 50 , I'll go with '' young '' lol

Yah 50 is old
by rockgagirl on October 19th, 2007
I turned the BIG "50" in September and got me a motorcycle and on my birthday i went by myself and got my first ever tattoo. i am officially a BIKER CHICK.
I love it. Me and my hubby love to travel on our motorcycles now it is so much fun.

Nope ! I just turned 43 and I sure as heck don't feel old. 50 is still young in my book.

Having recently turned 43, I'll go with "not so old".
by luc on September 23rd, 2007
50 is not old in fact I think You are as young as you feel. I am 58 and I am still very active.
by Shopping Sheryl - home from the hospital on September 20th, 2007
Not so old! I'm 44, and hubby's 49. I may even be persuaded to go with young!
Of course, when I was 15, I thought 50 was old and washed up.
by LynfromNM on September 19th, 2007
Since I'm 53, I'd say 50 isn't so old that you can't enjoy every part of living!
by Jewel on September 18th, 2007
Wow! Didn't know I was keeping company with so many people around the magical age of 50! I am 54, amazed that I have been around for half a century, feeling fine and not old! I like to be around people of this age because they usually have become comfortable with themselves and life around them.
by Shelby on September 18th, 2007
My mom turned 50 this year...and she's not old.
by Scifisuz on September 18th, 2007
I think it has alot to do with how you have spent your 50 yrs once you've gotten there.
If you were a coal miner all your life, yes , it's very old.
If you spent it doing things you love with people you love and you have good health and lots of prospects then it's not old at all.
by Smart2 is back! Did you miss me? on September 18th, 2007
I hear 50 is the new 30 - there are soooo many baby-boomers as we who were born in the 40s and early 50s are so affectionately referred to.
I used to think 50 was old - when I was in high school, my mom was 50 and that seemed ancient.
Now I'm 58 and I think it's pretty cool. I wish I had felt this good, looked this good, had this much confidence, and appreciation for my lifestyle when I was younger. But alas, sometimes with age comes wisdom...
by VS Angel aka Mrs. Stealth Intelligence on November 6th, 2008
YOUNG!!!
You are only as young or as old as you think you are!
Gosh, I won't be old until I hit the triple digits--and even then, I'll still be dancing!
:D
by brown eye girl on January 5th, 2008
i consider them not so old
by Ms.A on January 2nd, 2008
If you plan on dying at the age of 100,then I would call it middle-aged.
by shammers still slogging along on December 15th, 2007
In my opinion, 50 is neither young nor old. I suppose that's why they call it "midlife." I'm past 50 and it was sorta the milestone for me that I stopped wearing anything outside the house that remotely branded me as trying to look "sexy." I say, "if you can't be young, be elegant!"
by Goldberry on December 2nd, 2007
When I was a child, a person about 2-3 years older seemed old for me, when I was a teenage, a person after 20 years seemed old for me.when I was 30 I was afraid even to say this number. Now I think that even 60 is a young person.I`m not afraid that time when I`m 50.The most important I think to have the good health, have an interesting life ,and answer as interesting questions like this one.
by Mrs. Confused Bumblebee on December 2nd, 2007
Depends on the person.. Young and Old are more than just a year...
Before they moved, my grandparents used to go visit the "old man on the corner" ... He was 91, they were 87.
by Klikitmd on November 30th, 2007
I consider age 50 to be exactly the middle age!
This is evidenced by all the members of the "Smucker's Club" who have reached age 100 or better. My favorite quote regarding age is this; "age is a matter of mind, if you don't mind, it don't matter."
Every age is what you make of it so why not enjoy!

I'm 52 so 50 is young lol.
by sm00z on November 28th, 2007
Age fifty is the beginning of your sixth decade of life. Hopefully you will get through your sixth decade without developing cancer or heart disease as many people do. Fifty can be joyous and you still can feel young but practice moderation and you should still feel "youngish" when you reach sixty.
by Brahmanyan on November 6th, 2007
Age fifty is young enough to be old and old enough to be young!
by Krossceeper on November 1st, 2007
I read somewhere in a magazine that 62 is the average age people considered a person to be old.
by Anonymous on September 30th, 2007
I'm 36. I believe age is really a state of mind. 50 is young!
by sweetpea on September 27th, 2007
Just those three choices? I turned 50 this april and feel not so young anymore how about that?
by Seafaring Pirate on September 26th, 2007
Not so young, and not so old...I'd say a kind of middle ground.
by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on September 26th, 2007
Since I hit the fify mark myself, the younger it seems to me!
by Jtigger on September 26th, 2007
I used to think 50 was old. Not anymore. We are all aging and getting older. You are only a day older today than you were yesterday. You are as young as you feel!

Fifty seems middle-aged to me. 50 is in the middle of 100 and people are living to ripe old ages these days.
by Indigo- in the library with the revolver on September 23rd, 2007
Not so old.
by VWGIRL on September 20th, 2007
I think someone who's 50 is still young. When I was a teenager I used to think that 40 was old but as you get older and "wiser" you realize that 50 is still not so bad. I must say that cause I'm half way to 50.
by Morg the Army wife on September 20th, 2007
not so old. My mother just turned fifty, and she looks great and still works a zillion hours a day. I'll never know how she does it - I can only hope I have that much energy at 50!
by MamaBeeMinnie on September 20th, 2007
I consider it not so old. My mom is getting closer to 50 and she's still young to me.
by Highlander is semi-retired from AB on September 20th, 2007
Not so old. I'm in my 50's; with age comes wisdom. The mind strengthens as the body weakens.

Truly 50 is just fine <on anyone but me> :)

I've heard that too. Who comes up with those sayings?
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on September 18th, 2007
Cute!
by Rickster is victorious on September 18th, 2007
I dunno ... everyone is saying that these days. 30 is the new 20. 40 is the new 30. 50 is the new 40. All the way I suppose. It seems people are staying healthier longer now with all that we know.
by Im going hoooome on September 18th, 2007
The only thing about that is . . . I've heard that with guys, 30 is the new 12!!!
by shammers still slogging along on December 15th, 2007
And for some of us, 40 is still 12 ;-)
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on December 16th, 2007
I might be getting older but I refuse to grow up!!!Life's more fun that way.
by j ninja... on March 3rd, 2008
I'm 56 and never would have thought . . but the 50's have been the very best decade of my life thus far! Its incredible! I feel fortunate to have lived to experience the 50's, years where I finally have been able to throw away taboos and live life as I want! Good luck to you!
