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?

Guess what too - next year 29 will be the perfect age for you to be you - your age is just right for you sweety! lol Anyway age is just a number - you are who you are whether you are wrinkly and frail or smooth skinned and innocent! lol Hugs xxx

I love when someone ask me my age. I'm 28 and they all say that I look younger than 28. I always get carded when I go to the Casino or when I buy a lottery ticket. They just can't believe that I'm 21 or older.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,485 in life  10 months ago

Oh mine, now that's serious. I am glad I never get carded anymore. shocked

People can ask me my age as much as they like. I don't place any importance on it and so I don't tell them! Ha ha ha. I tell them I'm as old as they think I am and nobody has got it right yet. I don't mind being a few years younger, so let them ask! lol

The only ones who annoy me are those who try to guess. They guess wrong, so you smile and tell them, "I'm still not telling you," and they keep adding or subtracting a year. It annoys them more than me, so I find that not so many ask these days! Try it!

Brightest Blessings my friend.

Hey!!! How can it be cheating... it saves me telling a little white lie, and besides, it's cheating a rule to ask a woman her age, so rasp back atcha, my friend! lol

Well to be perfectly honest my friend, it does not bother me at all. I will say though I envy your 28. Heck I have sneakers older than that. LOL. I don't mind telling people my age at all but I usually will just say something like, "I have forgotten but I was an altar boy at the Last Supper if that will give you an idea."
Works for me. LOL

I don't mind when people ask my age, I just don't like it if they make any comments after I tell them. Like if it's a older person and they say aww, you so young, I feel like telling them aww, you're so old!! or the other way around...


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 340 out of 38,485 in life  10 months ago

The thing is, after asking your age, they have to make some kind of comment... so they are better off not asking in the first place. angry

I don't mind people asking my age because there's nothing to be ashamed
about it. But when people ask my age I had this feeling that they are
trying to place my face with my age. I look mature than my age. It always
become a source of surprise. happy

I don't mind. I like them to guess my age because I know I look about ten years younger than I am. I will be 47 this year and you wouldn't believe the number of people that call me young. I'm probably older than some of them! The only ones who can guess my age are those who know I have a daughter who is almost sixteen... but then again, I started late. My hairdresser recently was stunned that I told her I was closer to 50 than 40. She said, "No way!" She knew I have a 15yo daughter because she does her hair too, but what she didn't take into account (and probably didn't know) was that I was 30 when I had her.

I don't mind people asking me my age. I can pass for younger and love it!

BTW, at 28 you are far from old and wrinkly. wink

I dont mind people asking for my age. Im proud to be 39 and feel young. Im proud to be mature in a lot of ways too. Im proud of the life experiences ive gone through that made me who I am now. I don't feel old an weary at all. I feel so young at heart but experienced. I guess that's why people say they can't really tell my true age..because it all comes down to how you really feel inside.
