At thirty, most people are beginning to settle down with a family. If you're not, you might be called old. When you have a family and a real job, it can be hard to keep up with facebook trends, clothing trends, technology, etc. so even with the diversity of the post-college, pre-marriage age group, you still may not fit in as a young person. If you are 30 and haven't settled down yet, lie about your age until you look too old to stop doing that.
Why on earth should you lie about your age just because you haven't settled down at 30? And why does not being settled make you "old"? The vast majority of my friends who are in their early thirties haven't settled down - in fact, the period of early thirties is frequently included with the twenties as "emerging adulthood". Some people aren't ready, emotionally or financially, for a family at a given age and many people are still doing their studies at 30.
It happens at different times for different people, some at 20, some at 40, some at 50, some later, and some just aren't interested. If you want it, you can't make it happen just because you're a particular age.
Why are people suddenly labeled old at 30 ?

This is a late response but I just ran across it.
