Your Age...

I actually usually feel complemented. I chose to think that they are asking because I look so young and yet seem so wise. For me, it is all perspective.

I don't have a problem at all with people asking my age, not in telling it either. I am proud to admit that I am 56 years YOUNG, have earned every grey hair and line on my face too. LOL Must admit though that I tell our son he is the cause of all of them but he just ignores me or says "yes ma that's why I am here on earth and in your life. That's why kids do". Some people I know are very selfconscious about their age but I never have been one of them. The one thing about age that does annoy me is when the newspapers report on something and say "a woman aged 50 or whatever" whereas with men it is "a middle-aged man" or "a man in his 40's" when he is actually 49. Now that is annoying and blatant sexism.

Having people ask me my age doesn't bother me at all.Most people are suprised when I tell them I am 40,I am told I look alot younger.I have even had people telling me I'm lying when I tell them I'm 40 lol

i am currently 24.

I don't mind telling my age. I reckon that age thing has never been that big of a deal to me. We all age and I am not ashamed. My hair is starting to grey now and I am proud of it. I like it and I am not planning on dying it either. Growing old is part of life. As long as I stay young at heart, that's all that matters to me.:-)

I am very proud to say that I just turned 35. I am not at all uncomfortable. I enjoy ever year. I had a rough growing up and didn't think i would live to 21, so i am grateful and blessed for every year. Looking forward to 40!!

I do not mind admitting I am 42 to someone. Problem is unless a person remembers how old I am, a lot of the time, since I have no kids, and look like I am in my 20s everyone seems to think of me as young, and that is what Bugs me. I would Love to sometimes remind them I am in my 40s, and Yes, I have been around, and experienced life.

I've never been the least uncomfortable about my age. Even when my Kindergarten classes laughed about me being "older than my Granny", I just laughed along with them. Age is only a number. To me it stands for experience. Otherwise, no one is any older than they feel.

I am 46 and I don`t mind anyone asking my age.

I get uncomfortable a little, as I don't like mentioning it. For some reason, people tell me that they never would have guessed it, that I look 20 years younger easily, so I suppose I should be proud, but I rather not say anyway.

Not at all. I'm 45 and darn proud of it!

Sometimes yes because I don't look my age. I should be happy with that I look younger. I'M 25 and I look 19-20. Maybe when I will have 30 I'm gonna be ok with it, but for the moment it make me uncomfortable how they look at me when I told them my age. Now everytime I tell it I say : I know I don't look like it, but I'M 25 lol But sometimes when I'm around older people I have no problem with it. It depend of my mood lol

It really depends on the "age" of the person asking, I have alot of young friends (teens, children) and I try to teach them it is impolite to ask the age of an adult. As for the adult friends, acaquaintences -- I don't really mind - but will usually respond with you tell me yours I'll tell you mine. And men who ask who are not doctors, or otherwise in the catergory of needing to know - I just smile and walk away, it's good to keep them guessing and I'm married with a wedding band- so I don't know why they need to know. Although, I am over 50 - I keep forgetting and think I am somewhere in the late 20 early 30 era of my life and therefore do not act according to the expectations of the mature woman, to contary -- I don't ever want to grow up to much -- it stifles the spirit, and suffocates the soul :)

yeh it makes me uncomfortable. a girls age should never be asked by a man

I am uncomfortable when someone asks how old I am. I am not ashamed of my age really but I am older than my husband and I don't like people that I know to know this. So I avoid the subject as much as possible. People are always asking how old I am. For a long time I looked about ten years younger than my actual age. I think though, in the last 4 or 5 years I have started looking my age and I am not really happy with that.

I am "just" 26 even though I sometimes feel like 46.. I do not have a problem telling someone my age... and i hope tat i will not in the future. We will all get "old" and we should be proud of who we are, no matter if we are 20, 30, 40 or even 70 =)

Since I have plenty of gray streaking the front of my hair, and have 2 kids and 5 grandchildren plus a husband of 36+ years, I have no problem with people knowing how old I am. I've earned every year and every gray hair! LOL! I'm 57.

It doesn't bother me at all. I am quite pleased that most people don't think I look my age

I do not have a problem with my age. If someone asks me how old I am I tell them. My granddaughter told me one day that I look younger then her friends mom. That made be really happy.

mine is 33 years
