Hi everyone!

Could you tell me the exact difference there is between those 2 words: "adult and aging"?
I find it's difficult to make a real distinction between them...
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I am an adult (a grown-up) when I reach majority: I am in my twenties, my thirties, my forties..
I am ageing means I feel I am growing old, or I feel I am growing too old to my taste.
Did you see "Lethal Weapon" , the film where Danny Glover keeps saying:
"I'm getting too old for this job!" whenever something goes wrong ?

In England, you become a senior citizen.
In cosmetics, you have a "mature" skin !!
A cougar is an older woman dating a younger man.
A sugar Daddy is an older man buying himself a younger girl.

Talking about age is always tricky.
