I think its something thats made up by people who're getting old and can't handle the truth,

Muh ha ha ha......I mean... yeah sure its true

My Mom always told me that age is a matter of the mind, if you don't mind it don't matter. Of course it's all in how you feel too. Some days I feel as young as I did in my 20's and then other days I feel older than the hills.

YES ITS TRUE!!!!
I bought a kayak for my 40th and have been out on it a few times. I have a young attitude. If anyone suggests that 40yrs old is middle aged,I might get banned! :))

Yep its true I am 42 and I have more fun now that I have had all my life .... I still look young and since I have raised my children and they are all grown I have the freedom and the time to do things I enjoy

yes because nowadays people in their 40s look like their in their 20s so they can lie and say they are 20 and get away with it

I hope that it gets better when I turn 40 something. I can tell you that at 38...I feel 68.lol

LOL....I will be 40 this month. I am not pleased about it, but I refuse to get down about it, because I can't stop it!.

I recently spent $65 dollars for facial products. First time I've ever bought anything for the purpose of AVOIDING looking old.

I don;t think it IS.....after all where is the evidence of it? Who's in magazines or commercials on TV?

LOL.. Thanks for the laughs.

41 is what ever you want it to be.

You are as young as you make your mind up to be.

I believe 40 is the new 21

Lol you guys are all old.... :P


*hides to avoid being beaten*

i feel like 41 is the new 70 personally

LOL lookee... yea, I don't really enjoy getting older, I hate it acutally... I am 37 and just starting to raise my kids... boy do I feel really old.. and no end in sight lol...

it hasnt been the case with me, sadly

Ill be 48 this month. I am now my moms age when i graduated from HS. Ive already raised 2 kids & outta the house but still have 2 more. at least 5 more yrs of raising kids ....... egadddddsdsssssssssssss

I'm going to say yes for a variety of reasons.
First of all most of us are healthier then our parents/grandparents were at that age and good health, good diet and exericse help us look younger.
We also do not work as physicaly hard as most people used to when life was on farms and in fields.
People are more open to expressing themselves through clothes and hair then our parents, etc. were and that contributes to keeping young in body and mind.
The big factor is your mind and health. Years ago a study was done on old guys in their 70's and for a month or more they were in an envrionment where EVERYTHING was exactly as it would have been back in the 50's. The t.v. shows, the music, newspapers and magizines I mean just everything.
What this study showed was these men seemed to regress in age to a degree that it was medicaly documentable and photographable.
The last time I was carded in a bar I was 42 and it was a women bartender so I know it wasn't just some guy trying to score points.
Our life expectancy has gone up so where middle age starts has also gone up.
Think of all the women who are just starting their families in their 40's.
