"I think a lot of people are still stuck in the mindset of 40s and 50s being ancient when a 40/50 year old these days is VERY different from a 40/50 year old in the 1980s or 90s" Or is just your perception of 40/50 year olds that has changed as you get closer to that age bracket? | |||

"I think a lot of people are still stuck in the mindset of 40s and 50s being ancient when a 40/50 year old these days is VERY different from a 40/50 year old in the 1980s or 90s" I hate to say it, but 40/50s is ancient.... | |||

They remember their parents and grandparents at a similar age and compare. Also people look at clothes and hairstyles and infer age from them. A photo of a 39 year old from 1970 automatically looks old because it's old fashioned | |||

I wouldn’t say so, one simple explanation is the increase in people hydrating themselves with things other than coffee, also the decrease in smoking and generally healthier lifestyles. A deeper explanation in regards to perception certainly in the case of millennials is that by 40 a lot of us aren’t married with 4 kids and a fully paid off house, but that’s another topic entirely | |||
