I attended a meeting this morning. The guy next me and I had chated about the subject for a while. Then suddently He ask me if I am yonger you are younger than 40. This is the embarrassing moment I've ever experienced duo to I am only 29. I said to myself: Do I look that old or there is just something wrong with his eyes. But there is only one thing I could garrantee that he is not kidding.
It was moment that I really realized why people of western country are so reluctant to be ask about their ages. By the way, do I look really that old, I upload a picture of mine. please tell me the truth, pals.

do you want my honest opinion? are you ready for this? :-D my guess was 30 0r 31 but you surely don't look 40. That's way too exaggerated. Do you know why you look,I prefer to say, MATURE (older is too harsh a word to describe you) than your real age? I think it's your haircut. But you know what, I think you are a fulfilled man. So that makes the looking mature less painful because let's say that your "age" only gave me the impression that you're this kind of hardworking businessman who started it young and in a matter of few years has achieved a lot. You look like an achiever to me.

Me achiever? you must be kidding. I am not successful business man, I am even not a business. I work for the government. Thanks for responding anyway.

heh, some people just love to exaggerate. i was once taken aback when a relative of mine asked me if i was married, and at that time i was just 16. it was just that i had kept a mustache :P
you only look like 5 or 6 year older than me. and i am only 21.

I am sorry somebody got the same experience, I hadn't shaved for three days, maybe that is the point.
