At what age does one become a geezer? Is it based on age alone or does ones frame of mind come into play. I'm pushing 59 and don't yet feel geezerish. Do you gradually become one or wake up one morning and realize you are one? I'll stop now, I'm beginning to sound like Gus!

I became a geezer at a very young age.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

i started feeling really old when both my parents ,almost all my aunt's and uncle's and most of my other older friends died. cancer took most at to young ages but when you become about the oldest in your family thats left at 56-57 you soon feel like an old geezer.

Physically or mentally? I have had a geezer attitude for a long time, but have finally reached geezerhood physically too.

When you finally realize you're footing the bill for everyone's stupidity.

A while back, my wife and I went to our favorite restaurant (food is served cafeteria style). When our turn came to order our entree, the host - who probably was no older than 25 says "What would you like, young man?".. I turned to my wife and said "I have officially reached the age of geezerdom." (I'm 59).

A geezer is always 15 years older than I am.

I figured it out one day last year when both daughters were here and we were watching Gran Torino. I was thinking how well Eastwood played a grouchy old bastid and noticed the girls and my wife were looking at me and giggling. They said they're pretty sure Clint based his character on me.

Don't know, yet. I HAVE been a curmudgeon for around 12 years, though - and admitted it.
Geezer is old
Curmudgeon is a frame of mind
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

When you get to the age that you are invisible to all the younger good looking women.

so far as I am concerned, being a geezer, old phart, curmudgeon or the like, is a state of mind, not necessarily age related. Experience dealing with humanity does figure in though.
