Is it normal to feel so strange for my age , 52?

I've never been or lived societies normal although I am mostly now. I've always been and looked way younger than my age, the music I listen to , likes, sense of humor, stuff I do & have done.I went gray early, 30s but my face was still young , young girls seemed to like me even more as they still do now, they sometimes follow me and everything.
I'm married and have one daughter 11, we play all the time like little kids , all her friends love me as if I'm a school mate , most do, it often freaks other people out, they even flirt with me , all the time.
My daughter says they're all really into me because I'm not like most adults and they like my looks. Dunno if that's good or bad.
I'm not like most guys my age or even near it but I have owned a business and been married 12 yrs so I spose I'm not all bad for my age. I couldn't stand up and do a speech or something though . My dad was 30 or 40 yrs older than me when he was my age, a real grown up sort of man man.
My wife says you would never have any idea with me even with the gray hair as some just go gray young.
But now I'm 52 , hey that's pretty f'n old really isn't it.
It will sound strange but I don't know if what I am is right . You are what you are and that's what ever you should be in life , no bs - you , but hey again 52 is pretty damn old even if for me it is just my number , it's still THE number isn't it !
Is what I'm saying making any sense , is it good to be the way I am , look , or should I be a grown up now like my dad , not that I can be that it's not me but I do wonder.
Would you be happy being v/young for your age, is it a good thing, what about that number , should you change what you are because of that numbers reality ?
It can be embarrasing. A few mths ago I was talking to a guy in his 30s , it was as if we'd know each other for years but then the age came up. He had no idea, I felt weird. Then he totally changed , he was shocked and started acting older and different. Then he said shit I had no idea , I spose I'm like a young pup to you. It was all weird after that.
Yep I realize I should be answering questions at that number not asking a stupid one like this bet eh , that's how it is !
I'd like to hear peoples views on all this , any age no matter . Your experiences , anything at all .
Catch you

    What the f**k did I just read?

    Firstly, that made very little sense, and do you really think anyone would believe that your daughter's friends (presumably her age) actually flirt with you? You are sick, stupid, and a very bad liar.

        I don't have a clue what you're trying to say.

    Thanks ld. I couldn't change even if I wanted anyway it's just how I am. I do just feel that maybe I should be more this or that though at times , many times although I have managed some sort of maturity when it's really called for. The family stuff, taken work believe me . So many girls in the world and I've always loved the female anything and been pretty reckless, love my space to, not great marriage material but eh we get there. I've managed loyalty but with many temptations. Luckily wifey's bi and gets that.
    That guy at work, yep know all about that feeling. I'm not embarrassed mentioning my age but what really does embarrass me is the looks when I do as in the guy I mentioned and your workmate.
    Your right , everybody is trying to stay young these days , spose I'm lucky really that I don't have to, maybe I should be thanking my lucky stars after all eh.

    Thanks for the feedback Ld. So you think then and vibrants ok too , that's good. I'm weird there too as although I'm 6ft I'm as nimble as a kid and often just do things and people are wtf.
    At Christmas playing chasey with the girls at the stuffy in laws lounge but realized later, having a 6 ft guy sprinting flat out around their lounge and jumping couches was probably a bit much for em.
    My wifes a very youngish person too & 11yrs younger but we play it down around most people or we freak them out.
    Spose I was a black sheep when I was a kid and it looks like I still might always be.

      I think if anything, you're just a family kinda guy who loves children, and is a child at heart. I think a lot of people your age have that inner child in them, but they try so desperately to hold it back, or as we age we're kinda forced to. But I don't think you should change. I think it's a good thing that you keep yourself going the way you do. And yes, I do believe that feeling young and most importantly healthy too, is certainly a plus! Just know when to get serious as a father and when to have fun.

    This is normal. Lots of people look younger then their age. A guy at my work told my friend that he was 50, well, when she told me... I was quite shocked actually. Both her and myself, as well as one of the other girls, thought he was like 35 at most. It's crazy how some people don't seem to age. But I don't think 52 is really old. I mean, for this time period(2011), people seem to be living well into their eighties, and sometimes even their nineties. I think at 52, despite having so much time behind you, you have plenty of time ahead of you.

    And I think as long as you feel healthy, maybe even vibrant too, that's a great thing to have in your 50's!
