Slight correction: he's not middle aged, though he is far too old to be having sex with teenagers MillennialDem Aug 2015 #15

38 is middle aged to me. Maybe 40 to late fifties....but close enough. n/t prayin4rain Aug 2015 #17

Middle aged is usually 45-60 or 45-65. It's the "middle" of adulthood, not the middle of lifespan. MillennialDem Aug 2015 #18
