Is calling a old human male "old man" impolite?

Not really. I call em young man they seem to respond better with a chuckle

mostly yes, depending on the context of the statement and your relationship with or to him.

depends on how you say it

if you do it as a term of endearment I think it's pretty neat

I've earned my years

I feel like it's more polite to say [i]older[/i] man. Only because so many people associate "old" with something bad.

@Kawaii: If you say it in a friendly way, it's fine, but if you say it disparagingly, it's not okay.
I prefer callin em crusty pricks personally

I believe the pc term would be elderly
Neil Young didn't think so.

Depends.
I'd say it's disrespectful if he's not a good friend.
