Do your actions daily fit with your chronological age? I am not sure how someone over 50 is suppose to act but most days I act no different than I did in my late-20's. I just may be a little more cautious on that first step.

I think I tend to act the same as I have for a long time. I've always gotten along with kids hint hint

I think because generally speaking in my later teenage years I spent a lot more time with adults I matured a lot and because of that I probably act older than my age.

That is a tough one to answer. I think I act like I should for my age. I am very mature when it comes to work but I become kind of needy and selfish in my off time. I don't go out partying and drinking like some of the people my age though.

I was night clubbing at 16 and I hung around with older boys more then girls of my own age. I just generally get on better with males.
Now I have my slippers at the ready haha.

Men act younger then women. I don't think men ever fully grow up lol. They like to mess and joke about. I like this :)

I guess maybe I should give a better example. When I go to a big box store I park in the first available space reasonably near the exit rather than trying to park close to the store. I prefer steps to elevators unless I am going up several floors. I still run occasionally and like to play sports. I never move like I am in pain if I am just walking around. I like to walk and hike. I see a lot of my contmporaries looking to not move. When I have been doing physical work I never seem to slow down the younger guys and occasionally goad them to keep up with the old man.

I'm not really sure. I think I act really responsible for my age, and always have...but there's this part of me that feels 8, like an insecure child lol.

Never really understood this acting your age stuff, from what I gather it seems to mean being more of a moany, boring old git the older you get.

I used to hang with guys and girls who were older than me, and still do, so i act older than i am, its pretty good, i know what to do in bad situations and know how to make good decisions. So its a good thing. :p

I don't know if it's acting younger than I am or if it's just that the younger generation is so lazy now. *shrugs* I know I do a lot more than the 20-somethings I know...work more, exercise more, more extra-curricular activities, etc.

Last year I went to Lowes and bought several bales of pinestraw. The young man working out there was up inside a closed trailer full of straw puliing down bales. I climbed up in the trailer with him and started tossing bales into my truck. He asked me how old I was and I told him. He said you certainly don't act your age. He said "I have guys come out here barely out of their teens stand back and watch me load their trucks for them." I told him, "I was raised on a farm I do not fear work." He just grinned and shook my hand before I climbed down and drove off.

I try to conduct myself like a civilized adult.

However, I have a twelve year old sense of humor. Dick and fart jokes may never get old. :p

Acting your age is severely overrated. with that said, I think I'm fairly mature but I hope to fuck I don't act like a decrepit geezer when I'm 70.
