Why is age 70 considered old age?

From the land of haribos.

I read an interesting thing about it. I dont think it is so, because it also depends who is doing the considering.

I think that the younger you are lets say 20, the lower the age is when one think what old is, like 60 or even 50, but the older you get like me. I am now 41 years old. I wouldnt consider the age 70 to be particularly old.

I actually think hat 95 is old, as long one is fit and healthy and can move like they did at younger age one isnt old in that kind of sense. I like the saying "young at heart".

What is uour view sbout it, is 70 considered being old?

70 is certainly within shooting distance of “old age”. It’s not exactly middle age, is it?

Being old doesn’t mean being decrepit though. I know plenty of people in their 70’s who are very fit and active. And plenty of younger people who aren’t.

Depends how you define old, if you look after yourself 70 can be young, if you smoke drink and eat badly you’re probably fucked.

I believe the number itself is the trigger. There are some amazing 50+ people who are in great shape, look young, positive outlook to life and fun to be with. You just have to give them (us) a chance.

Don't 'they' say we are supposed to get three score years and ten, so 70 years is an average life expectancy.

I'm 46, but I would say 70 is old. Maybe on the younger side of old.

But as others have said, it depends on the person itself.

“Three score years and ten” is a biblical reference. Life expectancy has increased since then

Old age is usually defined (for statistical purposes) as either 60 or 65. 70 is definitely old.

I am not sure why age is considered a factor surely if the body is capable and the lady finds it attractive the age of the body is surely irrelevant also with age often comes experience. There is the saying that it doesn't matter the age or size of the wand but how you wave it. Obviously I am biased but if I find a lady in her 70's or even 80's who has a reasonable figure and a sexy mind who is willing then her age is just a number.

Lifes departure lounge NN9 Northamptonshire East not West MidlandsMidlands

Coming through my 70s I did not consider it to be really old, meets were thin on the ground here on Fab, not surprising as most people on Fab consider 50 to be old.However out of Fab it was a totally different story and many friendships were made and enjoyed.

Now in my mid 80s and suffering from a heart condition and severe osteoarthritis in both knees I consider myself to be really old and as my profile states I am in Lifes departure lounge

Everyone will have different views on whether or not 70 is considered old and that is how it should be.

OP didn’t mention attraction or bodies working. He just asked whether 70 is old or not.

It is.

It clearly isn’t middle age, and it’s past the age where people typically retire and receive OAP.

Being healthy, fit, active, attractive … all of those things are possible at 70. Doesn’t mean you’re not old though

Yes, 70 is within and the start of that age, same here. I also know many who are fit in their 70s too.

I think that being 'old' is seen as a bad thing by most people and the general opinion is that you must do everything you can to prevent it. Obviously the older you get the closer to death but it's not something to hide or be ashamed of.

Personally I'm quite happy to be considered old

I hope to maintain my fitness and flexibility because it's important the older you get. I can hardly believe that I've lived as long as I have, life goes by so quickly especially it seems the older you get.

If I mention being old almost everyone says "no you're not". I genuinely don't understand why unless they think it's rude to agree.

It is old. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing.

It doesn't mean you can't do anything, that stereotype of doddering old people has long since vanished and I'm glad.

I don't know why people see being old as a bad thing. Or heck, being middle aged (which you are from 40+). I'm going to celebrate that I've been able to reach middle aged. Celebrate when I'm old.

It's not a curse, it's not a swear word. It's a fact.

I don't deny that being old can be a struggle especially if you have health or mobility issues. I think people should concentrate less on looking young and more on maintaining flexibility, balance and overall health. That said there are certain illnesses that are unavoidable whatever you do.

I was about to start going on about independence etc but nobody wants to read that

I`ve always had quite a simple view on this. Average life expectancy in the UK is currently just over 80 years old. For this purpose let's agree at 80. Imagine your life like the seasons :-

0-20 years Spring

20-40 years Summer

40-60 years Autumn

60-80 years Winter

So, yes, 70 is "old". Not saying you are useless or anything but, by definition, you are old. Some of the worst kind (in my opinion) are those that pretend they aren't.

Depends what you mean by old ?

By human standards.... yes it is too old for trying to become a world class athlete.

It's not too old to pay tax.

It's not too old to go dancing , drink beer or have sex....

Unless you are past those things and lick lollies in your deck chair.

It's very individual.

Sometimes when I see women on t.v. and they say ...... well Im getting on now im 57... I think fuck me .... you look WAY older. Then I see a really fit 70 year old and think 'wish I looked like that' ......

This is the way I see people view on age. Everyone is in that age group is the same. Yes I will admit my profile age is correct. In very good health .

As an example. Someone who I worked with has just been told he is no longer fit for work again doing the job he was doing. He has diabetes , plus damaged spine , discs. Yet if going by his and my age. Who should be the fittest person. ?

I'll be 68 soon so I suppose I am old in years but not in outlook. I train in Muay Thai twice a week and walk the dog every day. I've got no health issues and don't take any pills for anything. Basically I feel fit and healthy and put it down to having been reasonably active and having lucky genes.

When I was 15, anybody over 30 was "nearly dead" in my eyes. Now I'm mid 40s, anybody under 40 appears somewhat unrefined and a bit immature. It's all subjective really.

Age is but a number.

I think you are as old as the one you feel.

LOL I do like people in the 18's to 45's to be honest, I like a modern outlook and the feel of younger flesh.

The one thing I notice as I get older is that most people my age tend to harp on about their aches pains operations, medications, bowel troubles and of course their consultants who "have never seen any thing like it before".

70 is certainly within shooting distance of “old age”. It’s not exactly middle age, is it?

Being old doesn’t mean being decrepit though. I know plenty of people in their 70’s who are very fit and active. And plenty of younger people who aren’t.

Exactly so. I'm over 70 and off to Scotland next week to do a spot of winter mountaineering in the Cairngorms - not a place for the unfit. I have lots of younger friends too from when I worked with students and they don't see me as 'old' even though we have different tastes.

"Around 35 is actually middle age, so 70 is old age in my book! "

Average age of death in the UK is 81 so middle age is 40 and six months.

I'd say 70 can be classed as old.

I remember at the age of 17 starting work and just wanting to party all of the time, thinking that for those colleagues I worked with who were 23 or 24 yrs old with kids that their lives were essentially over... very ignorant and naive at the time.

I'm 39 now and work with 17-yr-olds who probably think the way I did back then but perception is subjective. It may take longer to get over a hangover and I haven't a clue about chart music, but I'm more mature and don't understand younger trends.

People stay younger for longer now in their outlooks. I remember my gran in her 60s back in the 1980s who having a proper old lady perm and was v old fashioned... a lot of the 60-yr-olds I know now are more vibrant, in better health and are more open-minded and physically fit. 70 is definitely older age, but it doesn't necessarily mean someone acts like they're ready for the scrapyard.

Well I've got a seventy year old fast asleep alongside me right now, and believe me, she knocks spots off the average bimbo, with a body that some women half her age would give everything they own to have, and she also has everything in her wardrobe to tease and please her chosen guy. Does it get any better? I don't think so!

Very true, as you mention it’s subjective view point that changes over time. I guess the view that 78 for example is old is probably shaped by the average life expectancy however my name lived into her mid nineties and looked no different than she did in seventies until she got ill and then she aged over night. I guess maybe I kind of always thought regardless of the number your not actually old until in the stage of life when things start go wrong and it becomes a downward cycle. Until then tho, I guess your as old as you feel or live

There seems to be some confusion around the word “old” here.

Old doesn’t mean that someone is on their last legs, it just means that they are old.

A friend of mine is pushing 80 and competes in full Ironman completions. He is fantastically fit and active, but that does not mean that he is young. He isn’t, he is old.

Many old people hate the idea of being old, or people thinking that they are old, because they associate it with negative connotations. I would include my dad in that … in his 90’s but won’t wear a hearing aid in case people think he is old. They don’t think he is old because of his hearing aid, they think he is old because of when he was born.

Id love to find a lady of 70+, who would like a fwb, its very difficult though. I think age is just a number, and really nowt should be read into it, as ling as your two consenting adults who want to have fun together, then so be it

You only get one life, enjoy it. and if i was lucky enough to find a lady in that age range, id consider myself a very lucky guy.

By 70 you are likely retired and more than likely in the last 20/25% of life. Most people's bodies by 70 are worn/very worn and many ailments,illness and conditions are common.

I would consider 70 as old and i am 45.

I agree and my dad is exactly the same.

There seems to be a sense of shame attached to age and denial of the fact with many people eager to show that they aren't old.

I think 70 is considered as old by most because it's 13 years beyond the national retirement age and only about 12 years away from the average UK mortality age (less in Scotland, I think).

Because I work a 3 day week, I intend to work past 70 (I enjoy it so why not) and I keep my self fit so at 70, if I'm still fit and working, I won't consider myself old but I still think it's fair to say 70 is old - 85% of the UK average life expectancy!

There's old & feeling old....

I suppose you are past retirement age.

However, many retired grandparents are probably busier than they have ever been because they become granny & grandad day care cos of their children's working patterns.

I would rather be busy & active than retire & die a couple of years later. Seen it happen!

Now I'm starting to get nearer 70 & far away from my 20's I don't see it as a number. I don't want to retire just in case I pop off the mortal coil....

When I come to retire so, it will be 66 & 67 then, I intend to eat well, get fit & be even busier. I'll be closer to 70.

I don't feel my age. I'm still 30 in me noggin'!!! I've felt my most optimistic then. Now, it's a case of wondering what time have I got left...????

Being old isn’t a question of how you feel. It’s simply a question of when you were born. "

This is correct and I refer to my previous post above. Many younger people are and yes perhaps I am lucky less healthy than me at my age. Some posters on here seem to have the opinion that once 50, 60 or above should not be on Fab due to age . ?

Yet are physically able to be sexually active . Even though age barriers are there?

Current average male life expectancy in the UK is 81. Healthy life expectancy (dying without an age related disability) is 69.

For women it's 85 and 71.

Medical technology keeps improving so we can expect these numbers to go up, but microplastics, pollution, stress, and all the other shit we're doing to ourselves are also working hard to balance it out.

So yeah, 70 may well be the last year you're here, or the last one you're here and feeling healthy. I'd say that counts as old.

I would ask though - what's so bad about that? Why is old such a swear word?

The alternative is being dead.

Agreed. But that’s a completely different question: why are women in fab not interested in men over 50? Probably because they have so many approaches they have to narrow the field somehow.

There’s nothing wrong with being old. As you say, the alternative is worse. Being old is a privilege, a lot has to go right in order to reach old age.

And yet we keep reading shite like 60 is the new 40, trying to persuade people that they’re not old, instead of acknowledging age and saying make the most of your 60’s, 70’s etc rather than pretending that people are still 40.

Personally I don't think there's anything bad about it as such, obviously you're nearer the end of your life than most younger people but if you're reasonably healthy and stop wasting time worrying about being old or trying to deny it's not bad.

It's such a swear word because we're surrounded by a society that tells us being old is a very bad thing and we must do everything we can to avoid admitting it.

I think accepting that you're old way is easier than trying to pretend you're not. It doesn't mean you have to break out the velcro shoes and crimplene trousers but it does mean that you have to accept that on sites like this being 'still able to have sex' and 'not looking your age' (sorry everyone but it doesn't matter who's said you don't, you do, we all do) is not enough to make people interested in you .

70 is ‘experienced’

I smoke, eat badly, have awful sleep patterns but I’m frequently assumed to be at least 10yrs younger than I am.

Old for what? Ninety minutes on a football pitch? Being able to go all night in bed? For stamina, probably but for skill and control, not at all!

"When I was young I thought 30 was old! Now I'm more less 3 years of 70! I really can't believe I've got this old! And am not in a retirement home! x"

I've looked at your profile.

You prove the point age is not about a number, it's about attitude.

I'd climb over a lot of "younger" women to have fun with you.

I have no doubt any man would enjoy being with you.

"I recon I've got 8 and half years left at most if I'm lucky! So well old! x"

If it's only 8 and a half years, with your attitude, that's still enough time to have more fun than a lot of people have in a lifetime.

But I think and hope you'll be active a lot longer than that.

As an indicator of years lived 70 is old.

As an indicator of anything else it means nothing.

After living 70 years you can still be active and usefull with a wealth of experience.

OR

You can be the ignorant waste of space you've been all your life.

Number, Shape, Size, Race are all irrelevant. It's attitude that matters.

Lifes departure lounge NN9 Northamptonshire East not West MidlandsMidlands

I am looking forward to this coming weekend for I will be celebrating my 84th birthday.

No one is more surprised than me, I retired some 22 years ago thinking that if I made it to 70 I would happy.

I have never seen the inside of a Gym nor do I follow any food fads aimed at keeping me alive, just taking every day as it comes.

Despite the onset of Osteoarthritus and a heart condition I remain active and get out 4 or 5 days a week, Pub lunches, school runs with the grandkids, town centre shopping, just a few of my activities.

Despite the lack of interest in me I will hang on here on Fab, never say never,after all my aim is to reach 99.

Is 70 old ? I think it is.

Thank you. My daughter makes a cake for me every year but it is always a chocolate one and I hate chocolate cake so I will be making a rich Victoria Sponge with a hint of lemon and with a fresh cream and strawberry jam filling just for me

"I am 70 and probably in the best shape of my life except when I was playing ice hockey. I have a lot more muscle now than I ever have. If you keep yourself fit it doesnt matter what age you are "

Great to hear that you are in such good shape.

Yes it is still possible to build muscle at 70 but it is a lot harder to do so and recovery becomes a lot more important.

Doesn’t mean that 70 isn’t old though. It is. But it is possible to be fit, strong, healthy and old

No it just means old. Old for a human.

Doesn’t mean “too old”, or too old for any particular activities. Just means it’s a long time since the person was born.
