Yes!
When I was a kid, older people looked so much older all the wrinkles and gray hairs.
But I suppose, by contrast when you're a kid majority of the rest of the population is older.
And at middle age, you're closest to being "young" and "old"
Since Ive gotten older, I view age differently, having more years seems to make being relatable with others easier. Less of a barrier and more if an opportunity to find things in common with people you meet.
Its also noteworthy to mention haircuts/hair styles can make a huge difference, a young person can look oldder with an old style hair do.

@Alisha233 and in movies from
50’s-60’s every man wore a suit everywhere they went. That always made them seem older. I don’t remember my Dad always wearing a suit though unless he was going or coming from work. You are spot on with the hair styles! Thanks for the thoughtful feedback for what I feared was a lame question!

@BeJeweled I do physical things at 70 yrs old with my Grandkid that there’s no way my Granddad could ever do with me. There is a lot more information on staying healthy now days then back then. Have a great day!
