What makes you feel old?

Lol 'some reason'; the reason is because people tend to care about what other people think of them, instead of just not giving a fuck.
If in your 50's you want to be with a 20 year old go do that, you're both adults and really shouldn't give a damn about anyone who isn't involved in your relationship be it promiscuous or serious.

Most human beings I know, live in a society, with family they care about and spend time with. They also have friends they care about and spend time with. They also have co workers, bosses, and a myriad of other relationships, many of which matter. So, you're a 50 year old guy, and you're dating a 20 year old girl, and you have all these relationships I mentioned. You get serious with the girl and you bring her to meet your family, and now everyone's mouth drops as they stand aghast. Your mother starts asking you snide questions making your mate uncomfortable. Your father thinks you're the man but can't even look at you because your mom'll give him hell. Your sister is uncomfortable with the whole thing and gives you a mouthful at some point.

This is just the beginning. As the relationship continues, your mom never warms up to the idea. Your sister might let it go for the most part, but when she's around your mom, she gangs up on you. It may even get to the point where there's outright confrontation to try and make you realize how "ridiculous" what you're doing is. This is just your family too; nevermind your friends or professional relationships. Yeah, you could not give a shit what anyone thinks, but for a lot of people this would come at a cost; either you deal with these people's shit, or you break off relationships with them. A similar thing happens with many interracial couples.
