What's your age? How do you respond to such questions?

hello, I really don't care about telling my age, but I'd like to play games a little bit before I submit my answer. Sometimes I say "guess" and end up not telling them, ha ha. Those who do guess, say I'm 27 years old and don't go anywhere beyound 30. I'm 33 years old and I think to myself, wow!! Kinda lucky I guess. I don't know WHY women are so EXTRA sensitive about telling their age.I once was in London and I sat next to this woman. I asked her age and she looked @ me with disgust, like I murdered her mother or something!! It's not like it's gonna change anything, or make her any younger if she lied about it! I think it's silly... So I ended up "re-phrasing" my question to when is your birthday? . .Blah

I do not think..it is a big issue to disclose your birthday or age. It depends who want to know...to whom you are going to disclose. If you are know to each other...than you will have to tell the exact position. What about you....? do you feel bad, when asked such questions?

Men have no hesitation in telling the actual age. It is the women are highly conscious of their age. That is why, a Reader's Digest carried a snippet : The best ten years of a woman's age is between 19-20 years!! They do not want their age to be changed for 10 years!!! My wife too tries to tell a few years less when someone asks her age.

i have hardly any problem with disclosing my real age. i think, we all should age gracefully and try and look graceful even though we are aging each year. take it this way. i know, you look younger than your age and when someone comes to know about your real age their eyes spark, can you beat the amazement? i bet you can't. lol..

Hi lavenderbloom. Yes me too sometimes people ask me about my age, well I just tell the truth. SOme women don't like saying the truth about their age, and I think that's wrong. Why don't we accept our age? Nobody will stay young forever? Aging is natural. It's a pity that some see it as some kind of disease or something to be embarassed about. Anyway take care lavenderbloom.

I am not ashame of my age... if asked, my response would be... "I'm 32 but I look 25.

I find its older women who are possibly hiding their age from themselves. Some say its not polite to as a lady her age, but when you do they lie anyway, so all in all I personally would tell the truth, unless theres a good reason to lie... ie. to get into a club ( im 20) but dont ask cause they wont tell!

Personally, maybe I am different but I do not mind sharing my age with people. I know most people will never believe I am as old as I say anyways, and that always feels nice. I have nothing to hide, and feel age is just a number, and no Big deal, but I do know others that do not sharing all of this and I often wonder why.

I dont care if people ask me how old I am, It really dosnt worry me at all, your age is your age..I have nothing to hide. I do like it though when they say that they thought I was younger...lol.

If I am asked this question I will always say the truth, because there is nothing to be ashamed about what is true. Let the opposite person accept you as you are, if he has a problem he can go to hell. If someone under estamates you for your age,colour, caste or your outer looks, then indeed this person has no place in your life. I would prefer to ignore such people. The more truthful you are in life the more happy you will be because your concious is always clean and you live with any hidden guilt.

What's the question again? hahaha Seriously, I'll be 35 on September. I have no trouble whatsoever about answering such question. I think, and this is just my own opinion, it is only the ladies who are bothered to reveal that sort of information. My apologies to the ladies, I am just stating my observation. Peace!!!

i do not mind if somebody asks me my age... i just tell them it is not a big deal for me... if it happened on my birthday well i guess it would be ok, i sometimes too forget people's age (but i ask somebody else on the party :D )

It would be interesting to know how people felt about their age in the era before these times of mass media influence. There are so many situations where it is OK for a man to be "old" looking but don't dare let a woman be other than youthful looking! It is rare to see a female singer or actor (or many other public female figures) looking other than slim and/or as wrinkle free as possible. Yet the men can be potbellied, wrinkled, grey ... it's all OK for them. My speculation is that "worry" or "concern" about a person's age was a "luxury" item, something that developed in the levels of society in a time/place where keeping body and soul together was a less urgent concern. Those who had to spend much of their life taking care of getting food/clothing/shelter for themselves and their family probably had no energy (let alone thoughts) to spend on wondering about how old someone was. So those are my thoughts on HOW asking a person's age has become an issue. The WHY the age question ... I think that is a individual thing based on each person's stage in life and the health of his/her self-worth/self-esteem. How do I respond to the age question? I usually tell people ... once I remember what my age is. I so rarely (never) think about it that I have to do the add/subtract thing to calculate my age. I'm good at remembering my day and year of birth. The actual age number I have to work out.
