(Do people ever call forty-year-old guys "old men?")
I'll let you know in four years. XD
But seriously, this probably just goes back to the belief by high-school kids that 30 is old. I realize many of the posters to that thread are probably at least in college, so they have to adjust their target a little bit (cuz "omg I'm gonna be 30 in like 10 years, it's not so old now!"). I think being "old" is a moving target that some people never quite seem to reach, like the end of the rainbow where all the gold is. At just shy of 36 I look at my 60-year-old parents and think they don't seem so old. 70, though... ;)
