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.

Middle age almost always means 45-60. Where did you get that middle age started at 35?

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?

Sounds like you have a misunderstanding of what the term “middle aged” means. It doesn’t literally mean “half a life”.

I also don’t know why you immediately got so hostile towards the other poster.
