The wrong side 60.
Yestarday I watched a movie which two older people started dating, but their kids said they were too old for that. They used the expression "wrong side 60". I think this expression, in the context, means too old for to love. So, I was wondering, are there correct age for to love? Or are there correct old to study, to learn a new language, to make a trip or to try something new in your live?

Hi Renato. The correct expression is "the wrong side of ___" (in this case, it's 60) and we use it when someone is older than what they want to say. For example, this character is older than 60 so they say "I'm the wrong side of 60". This expression is used in any relevant context, for example, "I can't go scuba diving! I'm the wrong side of 60" meaning "I'm too old to go scuba diving!!".
In regards to your other questions, I guess that's a matter of personal opinion. I believe you are never too old to learn, love or travel, in fact one of my students was 74! :)
