It’s an INSULT to everyone her 74 or older to think he is a confused old man.
I know MANY here that are over 70 and VERY sharp.
Hell, I got Italian aunts and uncles that are 90 and still sharp.
One trades stocks and commodities, plays tennis and golf, volunteers at a church 3 times a week and actively enjoys his kids and grandkids.
All this after a nice career as an engineer.
The days of the 70 year old being considered OLD are in the past.
For most :)
Insane thing is, most tell me they really started to feel the slowing down in their 80s. That’s not bad!!
I know people in their 60s who have dementia and have no reason to fake it.
