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?

21. elisa812 (2843) | 10 months ago | I don't really mind when people ask my age. I always avoid asking people's ages cause I know that some people can be offended by it, and I don't want to be rude, but it doesn't really bother me when people ask mine. I am still pretty young, so I don't think much of it, but maybe it will start to bother me more once I am getting older!

22. maezee (4708) | 10 months ago | It doesn't really matter to me, I'm at a point in my life where people usually guess my age correctly and don't have to ask (or they'll assume I'm anywhere from 17-22, which is fine by me). It's interesting to see the stereotypes people make for certain age groups, though - a lot of people who recognize that I'm in college usually ask me why I'm not a party animal (like a lot of my classmates), and I just laugh - age isn't a characteristic, it's just..an age.*shrugs*

23. clorissa123 (3773) | 10 months ago | I have to admit it, I am old too. I am 30, and I certainly don't like anybody ask about my age a bit. Because I am also an age - aware person, and I shy from telling everybody about it. So what, I am old, and I still happy.

25. buggles64 (547) | 10 months ago | I will turn 44 this year in less than three weeks. Age is simply a number. Some who are older act much more immature than many 18 year olds and some that are 18 act much more mature than those who are 44. I just don't think it is polite for anyone to ask someone their age, even on job applications that is a big no-no. You can't even ask for birthdates, but you can ask someone to prove that they are over 18 years old if they are applying for a job. I feel young and old at my age. Mentally, I feel like I am 20. Physically, I feel older than my 44 years. If I could pick any age and choose to stay that age, it would be 25! I really don't mind if somebody asks me my age, because I think I look younger than my 44 years would indicate.

27. zandi458 (5923) | 10 months ago | Now I am beginning to despise people who ask how old I am. Why ask when you see the condition of my skin and the shape of my figure is a full proof that I am no longer a spring chicken. Isn't it rude to ask a woman's age. Common sense only tells that the external appearance of any women will tell of her age and why should it interest anyone to know the real age.

lordwarwizard (10401) | 10 months ago | Yup. If you want to ask someone her age, one exception might be when you think that person would love to tell you.

28. Polly1 (8479) | 10 months ago | Your just a youngen, I'm the olden. I am 47 yrs. old, sometimes I feel young and other times I feel old. Then when I think of people much older then I, I know to them I am just a youngen. To answer your question, no I rarely ask people their age. I don't mind when people ask me, I am amazed by how fast the years go by, its hard for me to believe that I am that old already. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was in high school.

| 30. nsaye892 (5) | 10 months ago | I really don't mind when being asked my age it truly is just a number. If wisdom and knowledge represented age then there would certainly be some people looking a lot younger than they are and vice versa. Being 26 and the father of two children myself I can understand where you are coming from people seem to ask your age just to justify there opinions of you. I have learned not let that get to me people will always be nosy and opinionated, so I guess it up to the individual to decide how to deal with it.

lordwarwizard (10401) | 10 months ago | Yea you are right. It is after all just a number and does not mean more than that by itself.
