Do you like it when people ask your age?  |
|
How old are you? 28. Father with 2 sons: Oh gosh, you are in the prime of your life. So young, just like a baby.
I hate it when people comment on my age this way. 28 is certainly not young in my opinion. I feel as old as a wrinkled potato and I hate people reminding me of it.
How old are you? 28. 18 yr old teenager: Geez, I am so sorry! Uncle, I didn't mean to probe... I just thought you might want to do soccer one of these days but... guess you are too old for it.
Oh thank you kiddie. I have been 18 yr old before so I don't need you to remind me of the stage you are currently at.
Either way my age is perceived (I have yet to come across a response that says it is the perfect age for whatever), I would rather the question be not asked in the first place. It also irks me when people like to ask me my age (whether deliberately or otherwise) during my birthday meals. Then they will start to try calculate it out l-o-u-d when I try to shrug it off. Somehow, some people just don't get it.
So, do you like it when people ask you your age? A resounding YES!? A sombre no? Do you desperately try to raise the question yourself? Do you pretend your ears are stuck? What is your thought on people asking you your age?

1. weemam (6719) | 10 months ago | It doesn't bother me when people ask my age, I am 66 and proud of it, I think age is only a number, I know lots of young people who act a lot older than me:), My youngest is the same age as you wizzy and he can be very sombre at times too, My eldest who is 45 is always asking me when I am going o grow up . WHY?? I am getting old but I am not in any hurry to grow up:)
So nice to see you again too:)
Wee xx

2. lotterylover (4846) | 10 months ago | I don't mind if people ask me my age because until lately I always looked younger. The same goes for my daughters. People always think they are in their twenties when they are in their late 30ties. My wife doesn't like to be asked her age but now that she really can't hide the fact that she is at least 60ty she doesn't always mind. It depends on who is asking.

4. tudors (1148) | 10 months ago | i don't like it, especially when some people ask your age in public, like on bus, in front of others, makes me very uncomfortable.

5. SpitFire179 (1420) | 10 months ago | for me i don't really like it because every year goes so fast that i can't remember how old i am. i'm 20 going on 21 soon and still when someone asks i forget and say 18, it's so lame, plus, when people ask they usually go on about how young i am and blah blah blah usually making comments that i'm young, i have lots of time. Seriously to those people, blow it out your behind.

lordwarwizard (10430) | 10 months ago | I am quite like you in that sometimes I will forget how old I am. It is only I kept reminding myself perversely these days that I remember this particular year. I always tend to think myself as younger.
Really, I think age is something invented by overly bored people. If we did not have the calendar, no one needs to worry about aging. Rather, the focus would be more geared towards leading fulfilling lives instead.

SpitFire179 (1420) | 10 months ago | same as time really, everyone's always going on about 'wasting time' sorry how is it possible to waste time? Time is a man made concept to organize everything furiously, i prefer to go by the sun, I'm an odd one, i like to wake up as the sun goes down, but most people, if they would forget about time, their lives would be so much calmer and they would have more 'time' for the things they enjoy.
Oh and about age, what is it with people thinking that because your something under 30 that you don't have a brain? Gosh that drives me nuts. I may be 20 but I'm not stupid. I would just love it if for one day, one day only, people could see others for their intellect and experiences rather than judge them by their age.

10. desertdarlene (5847) | 10 months ago | I don't seem to mind, usually I tell them. But, in perspective, those who have seen 28 pass by long ago can't help to see it as being young. I'm over 40 and I've got people in their 50s and 60s thinking I'm just a kid, too.

punk_gal (679) | 10 months ago | i don't like when people ask me my age...its soo awkward ....whenever people ask me my age,they think very old coz of my face but am not that old...
| |
|
|
lordwarwizard (10430) | 10 months ago | Well put it this way, usually we would think all who are younger than us as SO YOUNG. As for those who are older than us, we tend to think OH NO, I DON'T WANT TO BE THAT OLD SO SOON.

lordwarwizard (10430) | 10 months ago | Yea, our mindsets change with age...

| fangxum (34) | 10 months ago | i don't really care about being asked about my age up to now.Because i am 23 and still young enough.if i were 32,i would not feel uncomfortable ethier.I am at the age i am.I think you will be happy telling others your age when you look younger that your age.

msinfo79 (165) | 10 months ago | It doesn't bother me much because I'm still young and I'm short and petite. So no matter where I go I'm always getting carded or asked. I think it will bother when I get older though. in my opinion I think it's a little rude to ask a female.

| nvlusung (11) | 10 months ago | It doesnt bother me at all, I have a saying that: Age doenst matter, so even I am old now, I tel lthem the truth
