That being said, that does not mean that they want you to consider them to be old.
One way to look at this is to remember when you were 20-years old. You probably thought that someone that was 65-years old, was really old. When you were 40-years old, being 65-years old didn’t seem that old. However, when you are 65-years old, you don’t feel old at all!
