A lady friend Jyoti, who is my age, looks cute and healthy; I asked her, Jyoti, what is the secret behind; she said; Professor, I sleep at the right time, study the right things, speak less and only the right words, eat the right food and when asked tell the WRONG age..
This ‘wrong age’ really made me smile; because most women never tell the true age.
[b]What is your view on this?
Please share.
Thanks in advance.[/b]
Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .
Cheers have a lucky day ahead.

Lol..I am still puzzle why women are reluctant to reveal their age. I see nothing wrong with it. For some people they think it is rude to ask their age. I think women doesn't like to be reminded their age. As beauty and age goes together and beauty is women most prized possession.

Hello my friend zandi458 Ji,
Well, beuty is tehir weapon too, so they safe guard always. In our country, we have geard about 'VISH-KANYAS' (poison virgins), who were used to do many such jobs. Beuty only spoiled 'RISHI-VISHWATMITRA'. Beuty plays an important roll in women's life and age factor inverses beuty, if one is told taht a 75 yrs Lady..., staright we imagine wrinkled face with hanging skin and we dislike and reject.
May God bless You and have a great time

You are right, not all at 75 age are wrinkled; i have seen very cute ladies who are even 80, but present day girls at 30 age have white hair, wrinkled skin..

Telling wrong age -- women tell a lesser age. men tell a higher age.
other suggestions are really helpful. Good sleep, good food will help one retain health in a proper way,.

Actually, i tell my age when asked and i am in a good mood. But sometimes i would retort, why do you ask?
I tell my age because i know from many who told me, and how i looked at myself, bragging aside, i look younger than my actual age. It's a music to the ears indeed when somebody tells me that.

Simpyd:
May be you tell your age not only in your good mood, but because you still young.
Apart from anything, ladies always want from others that do not look at them as in big Age.

Yes mood plays a great role many times, once i asked age to a friend in Cebu, she is past 50, in premenopause stage, under goes 'mood-swings'; she became upset.
Yes when some one tells a lady, she looks younger; she becomes happy.

Professor, Taheera sometimes my answer depends on the tone of the one asking for my age. If it sounds insulting, i would retort with a negative answer.
But if it's meant as a compliment, why would i hide it. Like , when they say " you look good, would you mind if i ask how old are you?"

I doubt the wrong age will help to stay young, I think less stress will help so plenty/enough sleep does too. Lately a friend told me about a lady who became over 100 years old. She said she became that old because every other day she had her sleeping day. On her sleeping day she stayed in bed only came out to go to the toilet, have a drink or eat a bit. This way you have plenty of rest/relaxing time too. Although it's not possible to live that way if you have a job, family to take care of etc. Still that story somehow catched me and keeps me remember to slow down in time (to destress).

Prof, good to hear about your friend's secret for her youth. There is no great secret behind our youth and youngness, if we do our works properly without worrying about other things, we will remain same with the young look

Maybe in ginger is a mystery which renews. Many laboratories have confirmed that it stops some cancers. Cleaning the blood vessels and prevent excessive pressure is essential to avoid a stroke or heart attack. It should be used more frequently in the diet. The pain of a bee sting stops for about 20 seconds. Chinese for thousands of years have used this plant against toothache.

namaskar sir
This discussion brings me the memories of my school days when we had a poem which went something like- "Early to bed and early to rise... makes a man healthy wealthy and wise". In today's world with so much of stress and a hectic lifestyle, it is not that easy to maintain and live upto this poem or rhyme... but for those who can and do, definitely they are more happy and at peace which is another reason they look so young.

Nice tips except the last one as it may not apply positively always. Imagine somebody at age 60 and looking at age 60 but claims to be years younger. Out of courtesy one may not say it verbally but deep within he may think "but he looks older that his age".

Hi Professor,
Your friend is absolutely right. However, I would like to add that drinking plenty of clean fresh water is also good for staying young. And most importantly : Don't worry, be happy! I don't quite understand why most women do not like to reveal their age, maybe it's a feminine thing. Have a nice day.

Hi Professor..
Sometimes, when they ask me what my age is, I return to them the question by asking, "What do you think is my age?"
They will smile sheepishly and so careful not to say an offending age.
When they say the figure that's lower than my usual age, I tell them my true age.
And when they say that's higher than my true age, I slap their backs and tell them, "Do I really look like that old?!!"
What a silly person I am.

Professor bhaiya
women do not tell real age. We men normally tell the right age excepting in the case of people who want to make friendship with young people.
the suggestion -- good sleep, good reading, good thinking, good words speaking is perfectly right.

I believe the secret of being young is thinking young.
Having a great disposition, being cheerful and thinking positively are the elixir of staying young. Nourishing yourself with the right food and exercise will really have great effect to the body and to the mind.
Stay young, think young!
Have a lucky day too, Prof.
Ciao!

Your son is right, many women are chatter boxes; if they can save the energy spent in chattering, they will look much cute and younger..

It's common belief that women talk more than men, but many studies have shown that the opposite is true.
I think that aging is rougher on women's bodies, with hormonal changes and childbearing/rearing.

most middle aged likes to be told they are young but beware of asking for their age. it is going to be an insult to them, i think. well, am past that age where i keep looking at the calendar whether the number is still there. so i tell my age. and they say - wow! you dont look your age. and that makes me happy.
the joke you said has some truth in it.
thank you for sharing.

I honestly don't think that it is true that women don't typically tell their true age. The reason that I think that is the case is because of the fact that for most women it really isn't possible to be able to hide your true age.
But I also think that this woman is very right in saying that it is important to get enough sleep and to take care of yourself in other ways if you want to be looking a little bit younger than your biological age.

Since my childhood I have been hearing from my elders that it is not good to ask a lady her age and a man his salary. Hence now it really doesn't matter. But it is true in most of the cases I have seen my female friends and relatives always decrease their age and tell it to people.
No, doubt if we eat at the right time and sleep at right time he will be much more healthier.

Hi Professor2010, absolutely agree with you that everything can be the best...but age is always WRONG. Hehe...this is not surprising as being "YOUNG" is a capital for a woman. Man can be older to be attractive, but woman has to young to be attractive. People use to say, "Woman are attracted to older man; while man are attracted to younger woman."
Age for a woman is not only sensitive, but also consist of their pride and value. Many women around me are always hiding their age as they gets elder. This is normal for those not married, this i understand. But those who are married also is sensitive with their age. Hehe.. sometimes i do find it cute and funny, but this is their privacy, so we will have to respect their concern. =)
