How do you know when you've become "Old?"
It's not like a magical fairy comes down and waves a wand over you on your 18th birthday. Hell, at 18 you're still a teenager, probably still in High School. You're still a kid, sorry. No, the question is, at what point do you truly become a mature adult and leave your youth behind? Do you necessarily recognize the moment it occurs? Perhaps it creeps up on you, slowly building, until you look around one day and realizes you're seeing with different eyes.
Growing old concerns some people greatly. I have a close friend who is 27 and it nags at him terribly. He's married to a beautiful woman, works a decent job and plays guitar as a solo act in many popular local venues; he has a good life. Still, he fears and rages against a number that he feels should dictate his perceived behavior. Perhaps it's because most of our old friends have children now, I don't know. I know living in a college town keeps me young. The vibrant energy surrounding the student population is infectious and I still get carded for alcohol and even cigarettes on occasion.
However, as I near my 30th birthday, I know I'm no longer "one of the kids." I'm aware of my age and I'm fine with it. I always thought I would keep an outlook that remembered things of the past. I always thought I would recall what it was like to be young and have my whole life ahead of me. I always thought I would keep an opened mind.
And yet, this is still bothering me...
The Background Story
I believe it was this past Wednesday. The gorgeous Psychology Grad Student that I see sometimes had come over for dinner. I had cooked a ridiculous amount of Chinese Lo Mein and we sat and talked as we ate. It was a great time and we considered going to hit the bar after we had finished our meal, later on in the night. Upon further discussion, her and I decided to stay in that evening and camp out in front of some mindless television.
The Girl is as brilliant as she is beautiful and rarely does she indulge in such trite programming as Reality TV. However, I'm convinced there is some subliminal message in the show "America's Next Top Model" that forces all young women between the ages of 16 to 40 to view this train wreck of Tyra Banks & Company. The Girl and I watched the show, and honestly, I didn't find it all that horrendous as far as those type of things go. I'm more of a crime drama guy, but whatever.
No, it was the television show that followed it that disturbed me.
We left the same CW channel on and watched some program I think was called "The Next PussyCat Doll." In case you are unaware, The PussyCat Dolls started out as a modern burlesque troop on the West Coast. It was quite popular and attracted various celebrity guest performers. The concept, it would seem, was eventually bought out and turned into a singing/dancing pop group of X amount of members who released a record and made videos.
That's all well and good. This show was a talent-based, elimination-style program that was designed to find a new member of the all female pop group. It also happened to be the finale. Three individuals remained, all vying for a position on the former burlesque squad. And it was these three finalists left that shocked me.
Perhaps it was different in the beginning, with all of the contestants. I don't know, since I only saw this final episode and they didn't really discuss the previous people. But these three finalists, these three attempting to join this group were girls - literally. All three were only 18 years old. Oh, you wouldn't know to see them during their performances, singing well and dancing provocatively. They did indeed come across as quite professional; at least until they simply talked to the cameras or each other.
Children. These were fucking children.
Let me explain. I find American Idol to be a cringe-inducing experience, but at least the contestants are simply singing, their style defined by their own presence. And I have absolutely no problem what-so-ever with The PussyCat Dolls. (especially that lead chick!) However, as far as I can tell, all the current members of The Dolls are grown, mature women. They all appear to be in their mid to late 20's and have some formal training behind them. Sex sells and they do it well. But as one of the judges blatantly pointed out, these three finalists were teenagers still. And one of them went on to join the group.
#1 - I have NO problem with teenagers as sexual beings and feel that they should explore that sexuality among their peers in a healthy and natural way.
#2 - I have NO problem with sexually charged entertainment created by adults for reasons of either art or just simple profit.
#3 - I DO have a problem when #1 & #2 are combined for mass audience appeal.
A is A. B is B. A plus B equals C. A plus B should NOT equal AB.
The thing is, I don't know what bothered me more; the fact that this show was directing the sexual exploitation of a few teenage girls OR that I gave a damn. I can easily remember a point where such a thing wouldn't have even registered with me, a time when I would have much enjoyed seeing these very young women engaged in such activities. When did it become an issue for me? When did I get "Old?" I asked The Girl her opinion and while she felt it was inappropriate, she did not nearly seem as concerned as I did. Was that because she's only 23 or because she, herself, is female?
In any case, it looks like I definitely have bed pans and fiber supplements in my future after all...

*AHEM*
Being one of the older fucks on this site (at 57), rat cheer is my opinion:
When do you get old? When you can no longer laugh at yourself and when the things young people do disgust you. When modern music sounds like pure noise, not like the 'good shit' back when 'we' were kids.
When all you can think/talk about is the 'good old days'.
Wake the fuck up, you old fucks!! Kids today are no different from us. Lisa pegged it right when she said teens are out fucking today just like they have done for centuries.
Kaos, you're two years older than my youngest child. You are not old in my eyes, nor are you a child.
One of the many reasons I enjoy this site is the perspective of those much younger than I, even a few younger than a couple of my grandchildren. When one cops the attitude that the younger generation is totally full of shit, that one is beyond help. Hell, I even respect the opinions of ZEBRA!!! <don't you young fucks tell him I said that!>

You're just growing up. I have some years on you, and it isn't until there's enough time to notice the contrast in age that something like that would bother you.
Sometimes, for example, I'll see a little girl the same age I was when I discovered masturbation. And it creeps. me. the. fuck. out. I was a good little girl, and a bit naive when I was little. The thought that that little girl might already be discovering that she's a sexual being is hard to believe, but probably true.
I feel old. I feel young. I have fun. My mother was dead by 41..I question my mortality. There's no answer except the one that works for you.
An another note- re: ANTM- I can't explain it, but I think you might be right. I don't give a shit about high fashion or superficiality. And I wouldn't bother if it was just "on." BUT, IF there's an ANTM marathon on? Forget it. In my post today I mentioned going for coffee yesterday- part of it was because that fucking marathon started sucking me in and I didn't want to wake up in a pool of drool 8 hours later.
*******
"Pool of drool." Heh.

americans make such a big deal out of sex that when they travel to foreign locations they act like complete hyperactive morons in the face of it. they have the same problem with alcohol.
thankfully, there's always a bouncer to show them respect.

I haven't seen the show, but I don't see what the big deal is. The girls aren't helpless victims of pop culture, they're capable of deciding whether or not to publicly exhibit their sexuality. America makes too big a deal out of sex; every time a female teenage celebrity shows some evidence of being sexually aware, it's shocking and shameful. Teenagers have been fucking since the dawn of the human race and there's no reason to pretend like it doesn't happen.

"LEIK OMG! IM GONNA B 20 THIS YEAR! IM SOOO LEIK OLD! IMA KILL MYSELF!"
"UR 30?! (or 31, 32, 33, etc.) Y HALO THAR GRANDMA!"
I've come to the conclusion that our entire culture has its head so far up its own ass that we are looking out of its mouth.
Considering that people can live well past 80, what most of you consider "old" isn't old at all.
Ok, so if you want to ship everyone off to the nursing home at age 30 because "leik omg they're soooo old" and that person lives until age 90, what are they supposed to do with the remaining 60 years?

I've seen that same show and it disgusted me!
I'm only 23, (male too) but I find that for a television company to not only take this abomination of a "musical group" (read: group of lapdacing whores) who's kind have destroyed any glimmer of artistic creativity in the music industry, and audition teenage girls to become one of them is fucking sick! - All in the name of TV entertainment!
When I have children, I will not allow them to worship these moral degenerate, corporate created idles! - I mean being Atheist they will not be worshipping false, church (read: cult) created religious idles either. The people who should get our respect are the creative people who have brought something to the world from their own imagination, be it an invention, art, music, or anything that wasn't just handed to them because "they look the part" and can help a corporate boss make some easy money.
Fuck the Pussy cat dolls - What happened to the job of a stripper being a down and out, low life job (I love strippers, but wouldn't want any woman in my family to be one!) it's now changed to something that stupid, televisualy brainwashed children now aspire to be!
This degenerate Western world fucking disgusts me in a new way every single day.

We share a birthday but I have a year on you. I think I started to feel old when my step-sons' friends were over one day, running around and shooting the shit (they are 13) and I realized that I was the "neighborhood mom". Serving snacks and telling them to watch their language in my house. I just don't know when it happened, exactly.

Excellent post. Thought provoking.
Tricky question. I don't think age is the only factor, although it does matter. It really depends.
For example, I'll be 29 in November and I have a step sister who's almost 3 years younger than me and has 2 kids. Every time I talk to her, I can't help but feel like she's older than me now. So kids can impact your age, provided you accept all the responsibility kids entail.
But, I know that age does matter at some point. For example, I'm sure everyone's noticed the "creepy old guy/girl" at some point. You know, the 40 year old that hangs out at the clubs for 18-21 year olds. Simply put, regardless of how you feel, if you're 40, you shouldn't be "hanging out" with 18 year olds.
I think, provided you grow and mature as you should, you're never really old. It's all relative anyway. 30 is old to an 18 year old. 50 is old to a 30 year old. 70 is old to a 50 year old. Dead is old to a 70 year old. And by the time you're dead, none of this really much matters, does it?

My God...can't believe people are talking about being old at 26.
I just turned 46 and feel more vibrant and younger than I did when I was 20. I can still party hearty, have a great group of friends and dress like a teen. (My school that I work at absolutely LOVES that part.) Just last week I got called in for 'cleavage violation.' Get a life.
Age doesn't really bother me except in the physical respect. When I turned about 40, I started to notice certain things like I couldn't just eat everything in my sight anymore, cholesteral, the whole nine yards. Mentally, I'm probably 20. That works for me.
Old is what you make it.

I'm 45. My feet make noises when I walk sometimes. The three-year-old hair in my ponytail is light brown but any hair newer than one year is grey. More and more often I'd rather go sit by the pool and stargaze with my wife than go out to the clubs. But I have all my own teeth (except that one that I broke playing football when I was 14). My ponytail, grey or brown, does not cover a bald patch. All my muscles work to some extent. I can hold the muzzle of my best .22 rifle still enough to nail a squirrel on the top of the birdfeeder from 50 yards while standing (did it yesterday, that's how I know). I can remember what I go into rooms for. I can think.
I'm not old. Yet.

I think feeling more mature can creep up on you and just hit you (it depends what it is).
Think back to when you were a kid when you stopped wanting to play with toys. One day the toys were fun to play with and the next they held absolutely no entertainment value at all. You still remembered that you used to have fun with them but suddenly the imagination and desire to play with them just wasn't there.

Actually a very fair question and one that I ponder at times.
I'm 37 in July. And I don't feel 'old'. Even saying that sounds chiched but I don't think anyone does - its often how younger people might view them. I was chatted up last Friday night by a 23 year old woman who was convinced I was about 26. Yet some people at work know my age and think I'm 'old' (compared to them).
I felt 'old' yesterday when myself and The Bloke went into Land Of Leather yesterday to buy a leather couch for our new house. I looked at him and he felt like we were doing a very 'adult' think too. And we've had couches before but we've been refurbishing houses - its just now we've bought our first 'we're going to live and maybe grow old in this house'.
It you're as old as the person you're feeling, well.... the Bloke is younger than me anyway!

Manic_Impressive - - NO, there are no spoilers in this. NONE. All I say is that it comes down to three final girls and they're all 18 years old. Hopefully that doesn't ruin too much for you. I really don't know the average age of the young women who were in the show.
Gnarls - - Oh Bloody Jaysis, I was under the impression you were almost 20 now. Not that it really makes it any better, those 2 years; Whiskey Jack has still dared me me to write a S&M tale about you. All I can say is that you freaky Northern people are probably a lot more mentally adjusted than your average American youth. Well, that and you ARE also in your 2nd year of college.
None the less, I still feel it was a wee bit Pervy to have 3 teenagers vying for the winner of the contest, to be allowed to join a group that specialized in the marketing of sex appeal to a broad range of individuals. Once again, I have ZERO problem with teenagers running about and fucking each other... it's what they do! I guess I just thought that The Dolls would want to employ someone with more maturity and eh, experience.
I dunno. Go make out with boys. Just don't make a choreographed video of it.

After my 20th birthday, no more birthdays.

I have a confession to make. I had to stop reading this because i watch "Search for the Next Doll" religiously and i didn't want to risk finding out who won. Can you post a review that tells me if this post has spoilers or not. Here in Aus we're only halfway through that show.
Yes, I am incredibly sad.

I'm just amazed at how a post sold as "Keeping a Young Spirit Alive as I Grow Older" turned midstream into a thinly veiled glorification of child porn.

I'm really not sure how you could have possibly reached that conclusion.
"thinly veiled glorification of child porn.???"
Uh, did you actually read the post???
Oh, and Ampersand... sorry I don't get off on half-naked children. My Mistake!

I think the question you should be asking is 'when did I get gay?'

Thanks Saccy. Her and I are quite close but it's kinda weird sometimes. One minute we're curled up on the couch together and the next we're acting like siblings. I try not to define it or give it a label or anything. However, I will say that she has zero issue with punching me in my sleep if I start snoring.
Yeah Ghola, she's fucking brilliant as well, which is a major factor in my attraction to her. She specializes in Psychology Statistics and does research at a local hospital. Sometimes it's The Scientist VS The Artist in our discussions. She brings me such a unique perspective on things due to her background.
Red, I have no idea who that person you mentioned is...

No, I haven't sexed her yet. Our relationship is... complicated.

Unabonger, are you sure it isn't "you aren't really a man until you kill your father and fuck your mother?"

No, I think that makes you your own dad...
and THAT is the most depressing thing I've heard today.

You're old if that hottie didn't leave your place bow-legged.
I like Tyra banks for her stance on body image, although I suppose it's easy after she's made millions indirectly depressing the self esteem of women everywhere.

You're old when the reason you wear condoms is no longer because you are afraid of the girl giving you cooties.

You're just growing up. I have some years on you, and it isn't until there's enough time to notice the contrast in age that something like that would bother you.
Sometimes, for example, I'll see a little girl the same age I was when I discovered masturbation. And it creeps. me. the. fuck. out. I was a good little girl, and a bit naive when I was little. The thought that that little girl might already be discovering that she's a sexual being is hard to believe, but probably true.
I feel old. I feel young. I have fun. My mother was dead by 41..I question my mortality. There's no answer except the one that works for you.
An another note- re: ANTM- I can't explain it, but I think you might be right. I don't give a shit about high fashion or superficiality. And I wouldn't bother if it was just "on." BUT, IF there's an ANTM marathon on? Forget it. In my post today I mentioned going for coffee yesterday- part of it was because that fucking marathon started sucking me in and I didn't want to wake up in a pool of drool 8 hours later.

I'm 39 and I'm all for exploiting teenage girls for sex and profit.
In fact, it's what I do.
I'm a pimp.
Once they turn 24 I kick them out of my posse.
So, for them anyway, they know they're old and washed up at 24.
Nasty bitches.
