a little white lie is what they call that.... when someone ask their age they just smile and give a number that is close to their age but not exact.
it is easy to say the real age when you are still young but as you aged and reach your thirties, hiding your age is what most of the people do.
i dont tell a lie about my age... i dont care.
all people grow old and i am proud to say that i am 37 years old.
how about you do you say your real age...
how old are you now?

I look quite alot younger than my age. So I was always in the habit of telling a fake one. However, I no longer do that and am always honest now if asked for my age. That said, ideally I'd rather not mention it at all!

When someone ask about my age i will tell the exact age i am. Why we lie our age because we dont want to be in that age yet? Hmmm... people do that sometime but i am not even my husband he will tell you if you will ask him about his age. I dont care either if people people ask my age.

When people ask me about my age i sometimes let them guess it. Its flattering to know that they see me younger than my age. At the end i tell them my real which is 27. Then they would think im lying lolz!

Yes I tell the people my age all the time. I am 32 years old and I am actually proud of my age. I think it stems back to when I was working in a nursing home and a young old man said to me. I am 87 years young, I think thats how I will spend the rest of my life 32 years plus young. I love what age has given me, I love the fact that with every year I have learnt something new about me. I will forever tell my age. thankyou roniroxas I loved the discussion.

thanks tredale what you said is true every year i myself learn something new about me. some people are so excited to see their new born smile and watch the baby grow year by year to see something all new about the child... but as adult there is still something new to discover in ourselves. we just have to take a look. wink wink

Frankly, I don't mind others ask me this question. I always say the truth. If I don't want to say my age, I will refuse to say it rather than tell a lie to it.
I am 32 years old. I think the main reason that I don't mind it because I'm already married and have a child. So I don't have anything to be worried. I already finished the most important tasks in my life:)
