I Hate the Words "For Your Age..."

At 73 years of age, I have come to despise the words "...for your age".

Examples:
- You look great for your age.
- You're very active for your age.
- You are quite energetic for your age.
- You are extremely outgoing for your age.
- You are a fun-person to be with for your age.
- You date quite a lot for your age.

Do you see where I'm going with this? If you truly wish to compliment someone who just happens to have been around for quite awhile, try to express the compliment without hinting that the accomplishment or activity would not be worth complementing if the object of the complement was not ancient.
