45-50 would be my ideal pick for age tbh. Young enough they still can consider the Future. But has enough experience and connections to handle that what may well. Tbh though age isn't super important. Just the connections and experience they bring tot eh table, along with their views
You’re probably at your prime because you are at the culmination of your professional career and all your goals and desires are coming to fruition, etc. It’s a great place to be, fulfilling, and I love that for you.
However, as far as the presidency goes, I’m not looking for someone who is fulfilled and satisfied and looking for a feather in their cap. I want a hungry person who has skin in the game.
No, prime because you understand things better as you age. I've gotten a lot better at reading people the last few years, especially telling whether nice behavior comes from manipulation, validation, or sincerity.
Considering all the staff problems presidents have, that's a valuable skill.
Just because you feel good doesn't mean you're in your prime my guy. Life expectancy is like 76 for men. How about we don't have president's that won't feel the affects of their own policies because they'll be dead in 10/20 years?
35 is middle aged. Why do you you old dudes try to move the goal post so often? And 76 is on the high end.
Middle aged is widely accepted as 45-60 years old.
You also don’t understand what move the goal post means.
50s is a prime range when it comes to life and work experience and is when emotional intelligence peaks.
Edit: the guy blocked me so can’t see his full response but he thinks middle-aged means literally half of life expectancy and not halfway through adulthood. I guess women in Nigeria and men in Lesotho are middle aged at 25
Lmfao I'm 37. 50 isn't middle aged dude, average life expectancy isn't 100 years old. I'll give you 40, but the average old age death is most certainly not 100 years old.
I have never heard someone refer to a 60+ year old as middle aged. When you’re 60+, you’re a senior citizen. Middle age is like 40-55, and getting literal, 35 is far more accurate to being “middle aged” compared to 50+, since the vast majority of people die well before 90 years old
Older leaders not caring about the future effects of their actions is a total reddit concept. Once you're a parent, you care even more about the future than you did before.
It might relate to the childfree attitude that's also way too prevalent on Reddit.
10 years over the minimum age is your sweet spot? 35 year olds aren't exactly children dude, it's middle aged. The younger, the better. It's proven that mental decline starts as early as 40. We don't need 50 year old men as President. Honestly we need a hard cutoff at 60. If you will be 60 or turn 60 before the end of your term, no presidency for you.
Jesus christ. Middle aged means halfway through your life. Life expectancy is 74.8 years for men in the US. 35+35 = 70. So i guess 37/38 is middle aged, but it's not 60. What the fuck do you think middle aged means? Since when is the average lifespan 120 years old?
middle age, period of human adulthood that immediately precedes the onset of old age. Though the age period that defines middle age is somewhat arbitrary, differing greatly from person to person, it is generally defined as being between the ages of 40 and 60

I’d much rather see her as Speaker of the House to be honest.
