how do you react when you are asked of your age?

Most of the time, i tell my age when asked. I wont find it insult for me There's no point in hiding you're real age.. THanks Happy mylotting

I always tell the truth about my age. I am 41 and a woman. I will be 42 next month. I don't see the point in lying about your age. Sure, I have some gray hair and some wrinkles here and there but at this age, who doesn't? I have colored my hair for years, even before I got any gray hair. I might have cosmetic surgery done on my face later on and I might not. It just depends on how I age and if I feel like it. But I don't think I will ever lie about how old I am.

I am not particularly bothered about people knowing my age, but what I have learned is be careful on line about putting your birth-date and other sensitive information on public sites for security reasons.

hello kenchiprincess, I don't see any reason at all why some people are not telling their real age. As for me, It doesn't matter at all. If they are asking me what is my age, I'm telling them my real age without hesitation. In fact I'm so proud of my age. At least I'm already happily married and have three kids. So, have nothing to hide. Must be proud and thankful for reaching my age.

I'm 44. Why shouldn't I tell the truth? Age is not a shameful thing! What shame is there in the truth? I didn't steal it, or do something illegal to get it! It's simply a fact! I think it's silly that people want to pretend to be younger. Why?

I am not one to be insulted or offended to be asked my age. I feel that I have lived these years honestly and that it does not matter how old that I am. I always tell my real age when someone asks me.

I am only 28 so I don't feel I have any reason to lie about my age. I don't feel offended if someone asks. Well, it depends on why they are asking. I mean, it's nice to look young but I would be offended if someone thought I looked like a child and asked for ID in a shop or something. Then I might be offended. Or if they were asking because they thought I was really old or something. But if people are asking just because they want to know then I don't mind. I always tell the truth. I used to tell the odd fib when I was 16 or 17 when I'd say I was 15 so I could still get half fare on the buses and I occasionally tell people that my 3 year old is only 2 since more and more places make charges from age 3 rather than the previous age 5. But I never really have any need to lie about my own age.

Now that I am growing older I am getting wary of my age. Usually it is associated with a woman thing, I am trying to hide my age. heheh I look younger than my age. I don't want to grow older. I don't find it insulting but I find it a bit invasive.© ronaldinu 2008

If someone asks me my age in rl I would find that insultig. I would probably just say if you cant tell its none of your business. The internet is different because we are not face to face. I would probably just say over 40 so they could see I am a mature lady.

Uhm, I usually dont mind but sometimes it isnt fun. Im 18 and I find the older I get the younger I look.When I was fourteen, people thought I looked 18. Now that I am 18, alot of people seem to think I am 17 or 16. Right now it doesnt bug me because its hard to tell my age. But I dont want to be id'd and carded when im 30 or anything, thts when it would really start to get annoying.

I don't find it insulting, and I tell my real age. I am no good at guessing other peoples ages, but have found that the few that I have asked was a little insulted by my asking. I am not sure why-they looked really great for their age.

I'm 22 (but just 2 weeks away from turning 23!!!) but I look 16 (I've even been mistaken for being as young as 12!!!) so I don't mind at all when I'm asked my age. I like to surprise people by how old I actually am. And since I'm so young, I don't really think of it as being rude. I'm sure in 10 or 20 years I'll feel differently about it being rude. I do think it's rude to ask someone their age, so I don't ever do it. But I personally don't mind if someone asks my age.

ha ha ha a typical female reaction to age. Then we talk of equality of sexes. I doubt if a man ever tries to hide his age either in telling it or by use of make up. I proudly announce that i am 53 and don't at all feel embarassed by it. Why should I feel embarassed by my age? I have growngracefully and lived my life fully. I am happy at my age and love to be my age. i believe that life begins at 50 now a days so idonot mind beign inteh 50s because I feel as virile and active as thoug i were in the 20s or 30s.

naah..i dont mind it at all. n wat is the necessary to hide our age ? specially in this online world, the chance to meet each other for real is small, no need to be fake. my age is 25 years old. if some1 ask it, i will answer it honestly. bout guys, hmm..not sure coz im not a guy lol. but based on my experiences, my guys friends dont mind it at all if they're being asked bout their age. usually its the woman who have that problem lol but not me lol. how bout u kenchiprincess ? ur a female (princess) lol, will u get offended if some1 asking u bout ur age ?

People always ask my age, especially perverted older guys-they want to see if I am a minor or not. In those cases I am offended and I just don't tell them anything or sometimes I say not old enough. When regular non-perverted people ask my age I always just tell them the truth. Most people think that I am younger than I am, though a few think I am way older. when I was 16 someone asked me to buy them smokes, but I think that he was actually older than me. lol.

hi I really get surprised if anyone asks my age. I mean why one should ask? If the question pops out all on a sudden and out of context, I generally try to avoid a direct answer. But whenever it is necessary or relevent, I don't mind to reveal my real age. Why should feel uncomfortable? In my profile page, you'll find my real age. And I don't bother to mention the correct age. My hubby too not reluctent to tell his actual age if necessary. In fact, I think men never hesitate to tell their actual age. Some women do feel it offensive, but I don't feel so if it's not irrelevent. If someone starts a topic like "Hey Ladies, Tell me your actual age". Such a case, to me, is irrelevent and i don't respond at all.

I would tell my real age of course. I don't think it's insulting. I don't know about other people but it really is no big deal. cheers!!!

I stopped counting three years ago For me it's okay. I seldom found to be older than my age, it is because I look younger than my age and it is a compliment to hear from other people who asked. I haven't lied about my age because for me, it really doesn't matter. If you feel young and healthy, I think that is more important. I really don't mind when someone asks because age, it's all in the mind...

I actually would joke on my age when I am asked. Age is one of the most confidential fact about a person. A person has the right not to tell his/her age to anybody.

I normally give me right age.I think people take issue with this question because they are uncertain of the remarks that may follow.This is because many persons are unsure whether they look older or younger than their age .If they know they look younger than their age ,they normally have no problem giving it especially when they know they will get complimented on looking younger than their age. Another reason people sometimes take offence is if they dont feel comfortable with the achievements they have made during their life.Once again if they have made considerable progress during a short lifespan then they willingly give their age but if they have not then they may be reluctant.Again its the compliments taht detrmine outcome. Finally if they are in a social activity that is normally associated with an age group younger than they are for example a party ,they may shave a few years off their age to fit in
