Yesterday, I was chatting with a Mylotter, and age came up. So, I was wondering if any of you guys are sensitive about it. I am 42, and I don’t think much of it. I know in popular culture, they say never ask a woman her real age. I don’t know if anyone really cares about letting anyone know anymore. Most people on Mylot don’t seem to be reluctant to share that information, but I wonder if it bothers anyone when you are asked about it.

The only thing that bothers me is if someone doesn't think I'm sweet and innocent.

I was looking at some of my old pictures. I was quite thin back then. So kinda...the saree looked like it was wrapped around a thin lizard, what with my hand looking like lizard's claws..LOL. I too feel, I look better after aging than I did when I was younger.

Age is mind over matter. If you don’t mind it don’t matter!

I don't mind if someone asks my age (I'm 75.) Women sometimes say they're younger than they are, but I think I should say I'm much older than I am so maybe people will say, "You look great for 106!"

@AmbiePam I know, right?
I remember when I was young and saw how 'proper' my mother was in everything and determined right then that I would always be young at heart. If I wanted to sit with my legs hanging over the sides of the chairs, I would. I've kept my promise to myself. I don't do anything 'proper' for my age.
Do you remember the movie Pollyanna? Her aunt told her to walk up the stairs like a lady. I don't think I ever walked up or down the stairs like a lady. I don't even cross my ankles like a lady. Life is too short to be so rigid.

I am proud of my age and of every gray hair and wrinkle I have. Moreso, I am proud and content with what my age is teaching me and the perspective it gives.

I know what you mean. I'll be 60 in less than two months.
Age is just a number!

@AmbiePam I feel much older than 35 though, so that's why I don't say I am young

Yes sayings are one thing.
Yet I do not understand why some people make so much fuss about age.
At 45 plus people might make an opinion about me, yet I do not bother.
If one bothers, then they add to another factor that adds stress in such a highly stressful Modern world.
Yet some folks might be asking age out of curiosity and not due to any other motive as such.
