Yeah, I really wish people would stop saying that. The average life span in my country is 77. Half way is 38.5. That is the literally the middle of your life. That is literally middle aged. That's literally how it works. Doctors and psychologists define middle aged as late thirties. He is over hill as am I as are you. I'm pushing 50. I've been over the hill for almost a decade now.Trust me...I'm well beyond middle age. Don't make assumptions.
