By responding to this question you make me to think that I become older again with one more year in 2007.I cant say if is a good age or a bad age but some are calling this age a good one.At this age you are able usually to think more mature than others which are younger,but also you can be in the crisis of this certain age.You have to have a good family and maybe children.As for me at this age I have a family ,a driven license which usually you can afford to have at the age of 18 here in Romania,I have a job but I do not have any children yet.I would like to have and I think is the best age to be already in marriage life.Some says that the best age to be married is around 29 years old but this depends from country to country.If you can guess what age I have it is very good and if not I will tell you that I am 37 and I am thankful to God for what I have and done till this age!May God bless you all even if you are old ,young ,married or not married!So if you can calculate the year of my born you will see that I was born in 1970!So for sure is not a secret!

There are several reasons that i believe why people always keep their age as a secret :- 1. They might think it cool to keep a secret about their identity , or just because 'cool' people does it ( by acting mysterious ). 2.Lack of self-confidence.Most of the time, women fell in this category unfortunately.Due to stress, school,work,life-style,life trauma event,relationship issues,many woman look older than their age. 3.Lack fo love.Same thing as NO.2,many woman felt insecure that they're still single at such and such age. 4.Identity crisis.We live in an age of internet,fraud,credit rating and identity issue and your birthday is part of that components. 5.Level of trust and friendshyip.Most of the time, its a matter of how much person A knows person B , sometimes people just dont like u and u dont know that.Its nice enough that they didnt say " its none of ur business".You should able to find out anybodies age once you're very close to them.

I never hide anything. I'll tell boldly. I am 67 years. Some women will not tell their age.

They always say that you should never ask a woman her age.... I don't why that bothers so many people. I don't care at all if someone asks my age. I'm 42 :)

hmmm i don't know why people don't want to tell you their age, maybe they have been putting up this wall and they want you to think they are someone they are not... maybe they try and posts these intellectual comments, but people will not trully believe or appreciate them if you know the poster is young... I don't have these feelings... I'm 19 :P

I don't keep it a secret. My looks betray my age anyway. I know that some people keep their age a secret, they have their own reasons for doing so.

Well, the reason I don't bother telling people my age is that they wouldn't believe me any way. They always think I am younger than I say I am and even when I show them my id...they fail to believe. But I just take that as a compliment. But in general, I don't mind telling people my age...because it is just a number and it doesn't justify the person you are.
