nothing but a number

absolutely right because women afraid if they said honestly about their aged they become unattractive to men.that's true that person will find out something that bother him but that is not the point,the point is honest.if you can honest about yourself that's will be credit point to others

I love revealing my age to people. I've accomplished a ton of things in my life in a short amount of time, and I'm very proud of that, as different as that may sound. Everything I've ever dreamed of being or having as a child is done and had, and I'll just be turning twenty-three in a little over a week. I've never found revealing a person's age to be a personal thing. I don't quite get why so many people are against it--aging is a part of life, and different eras of a person's lifetime are beautiful for different reasons. Aging is something that should either be celebrated or a reason to change, depending on how a person has treated his or herself for life thus far. I think another reason I love revealing my age is because I'm what I call a "chameleon"...I look different on a day to day basis. No two photographs look the same of me, and depending on the day, I can look older or younger than I really am. I used a modeling photo that I had taken when I was thirteen for my high school graduation picture, for example; I also had a carpet cleaner inquire about dating me to my mother in regards to another modeling photo taken when I was 14, because he believed I was of college age based on the picture (in reality, I was in junior year of high school at the time). Revealing just how old I really am after people see and talk to me is almost like a game, because I haven't yet met a person who has pinpointed my age correctly.

I always tell people I'm "Old enough to know better and young enough not to care". My lady doesn't have a problem telling people her age, though she doesn't like being as old and wrinkly as she is. I'm going to run away and hide now, before she sees that.

Hi writergirl, In some culture asking the age of women is insulting them. And when we spaelk world wise yeas women do try to hide their actual age and this is also true that even men do. But when a man crosses 5o he would not hide the actual figure. He would rather add a few more years. Even women do not mind after they are 55 +. They feel proud rather that age has made them wiser than others. My question - who would love to say bye bye to our youthful days?

Many people hide their age and this is not right. But I think a woman is not asking how old f. I think a woman is so years as it looks. Should not be curious. But to say his age. Have a nice day!

I find very juvenile. We want to know you, women, but you don't let us! Anyways, I never met a girl who wouldn't tell her age :D

I don't keep track of my age. I have to sit down and figure it out and then I can tell it. No one ever asks my age. I think of myself By this number. Growing up I was always Just Too young for this or that. So I resigned to the fact I will Never be old enough to do anything . So by the time I Was old enough , I didn't have the desire to do whatever. The last time I remember being aware of my age is when I was 13 and then 18 , 21 and the 30. the year I turned 30, I went of a trip to New Orleans to celebrate. Without the trip , I wouldn't have been awar of my age.

All of us are growing older every single day. It is not a shame to tell someone our age. Some of us look and act like it and some don't.

I am 33 years old. I don't have a problem telling people how old I am. No one believes me when I tell them though. I guess I don't look my age and I have been told that I sure don't act my age. I don't understand being embarrassed about age.

Once I was past my teens I have never felt bad about telling my age. I earned every year of the 70 I have been alive.

I am 35 I am only a few months away from you possibly or a year.

well, some women feel kind of shy about sharing to the whole world their age when they are still single. society expects women to be married by the age of 25, so single women aged 27 above feel like there is something wrong with them

I do tell my age and i'm proud to say i'm 33. I'm a woman that is never scared to tell about my age. I'm proud of what i have achieved and proud of getting older as the years go by. Age is indeed just a number. It doesn't make us old at all. It's our thinking of being weak that makes us old. I am proud to say that i'm old because with this comes the wisdom i have gained through many years of life experience.

Yes I tell my age.I have never had any problems with telling it.It's just a number and I don't think the number really tells anything about the person.We all act different ages sometime.I am 49 and feel every bit of it at times.Then when I am playing with my 2 granddaughters ages 6 and 9,I feel younger.I got married at 15 and had all 3 of my girls by the time I was 21.I enjoy my age and all the things I have learned in life.I say enjoy life and don't worry about the number.

That doesn't really bother me....I don't look my age and I love it when someone asks and they are taken back about how old I actually am! LOL...so it doesn't bother me at all to let someone know!

I'm always honest about my age, as I don't see any point in lying about it. I can't understand why some women are embarrassed about their age, whatever it might be. I suppose I see it as a sort of veiled prejudice against old people in that some people, usually women, seem to think that it will somehow degrade them in the eyes of others if they admit to being over a certain age.

I always say my age when people ask! I know it is a big taboo for some woman because they hate getting older. I don't see the big deal with it and it helps I do look younger then I am! That deos surprise alot of people! LOL!

Perhaps many people, not a woman only, do not want to say that actual age, for various reason. But for what ever reason, i can not understand such an attitude. After all, honestly declare actual age, it's will be prove what kind of person you are...

Indeed it is just a number and even I dont understand as to why women feel shy when it comes to them telling their age. It has been something like a tradition or a following since years ago but many people dont care too much about it and tell their age without much of a fuss. A friend of mine at work put this question across to people in a very nice way. Instead of asking how old you are, she asks how young you are and the person on the other side with a smile on his/her face answers to the question. So rather than being shy or offened we must be more open and feel free..

I think so. But I for one does not tell my age because I look young for my age. People always commit mistakes when they guess my age. Well it feels great that they think I look 5 years younger than my age though.
