Do you like it when people ask your age?

Me, when I am asked that question, HOW OLD AM I, I think Im rude to people.

And Ask, whats it matter, Who cares, Tell you next time I remember, haha.

Im over 21 thats it or Im an adult.

HICCUP/

some of my student ask my age and i just simply told them to guess it..

It's none of their biz. I tell them, that's a personal question

When I was younger....I hated it. I looked like a little kid and got treated like one no matter what. If i was at a bar...had to show 3 forms of ID. My husband got weird looks as if he was robbing the cradle altho we were the same age. I was 30 and my 11 year old daughter was assumed to be my sister. No it did not feel like a compliment at all. No one took me serious or most people didn't. I was a woman and I wanted to be treated like one. I took offense at being treated as a child. Heck...I was 25, 26 and upwards and little 18 year olds were talking down to me...as if they were more world wise...they would be shocked when they discovered I was married and much older than them. Enough said...you get the picture. Then I turned 35 and I bought cigs and did not get carded. Great! Then I started getting carded less and less for alcohol! The clerk would look at the beer and then at me and ring it thru. OMG! I look old! Seriously...it hit me like a ton of bricks. went out and bought wrinkle cream and began scrutinizing the mirror. Then I got a grip on it all. I'm now 52 and I really don't care about that stuff. I look younger than 52 but not young. I really don't know. Worrying about those sorts of things will only create more wrinklys.

I am ok if asked the question. The issue is whether we are satisfied with our appearance versus our age. It is said, you are as old as you feel yourself. As long as we keep a positive mood and care properly about ourselves in spite of the tedious chores, you will not get annoyed of the question. Take it naturally and face the future with head up in air.

i don't mind too much if someone ask my age.but it depends on my feeling for the person.if he just a stanger,maybe i don't want to say,just say how old do you guess?or just smile.

lol=D Age is just a number to me.. Some say, 26 is a young age, but to me, it's quite old^_^ Well, their perspective is different from ours and thus we cant stop them from asking.. hehe

Just take it in our stride, and if anybody were to ask me, i will proudly tell them my age as i'm proud of it.. Also, i dare to say, my fitness level is even far better than those teenagers now, and i will even dare them to challenge me.. lol=D Thus, u see, being old to those teenagers, do have certain advantages to me^_^ hehe

I good question. I teach English in Thailand, mainly to university students and working adults. No kids. When we start a new class, we have a getting to know you, and your teacher. Well two questions that come out very early are how old are you? and Are you married? Both considered less than polite in English, but quite natural in Thai.
I answer this in different ways, but usually either tell the truth, or have the students guess. Most guesses are flattering. For your information, I'm sixty-eight.

Yes i like it because i am very much young compared too my class because many are there who hide there age in class and look like uncle in a tudent class.

So if anyone ask my age i love to tell my age.

If children ask I don't mind, because children tend to ask that kind of stuff. I don't think it's very polite for adults to ask another adult. The people we're close to know how old we are, and the specific age shouldn't matter to people who don't already know. After all, they can look at us and get some rough idea of whether we're student-age, young-parent age, grown-kids age, or grandparent age.

That's all the really need to know. In fact, if we're lucky enough to look "parent of young kids" age, when we're really "parent of grown kids age" - all the better.:)

It gets awkward if someone asks your age, though, because if you look younger than you are their jaw drops when you give them some "horrible sounding" number. If you look far older than you really are, their jaw will drop as they realize how bad you look. It's a lose/lose situation.:)

My thing is I remember what it was like to be 10 or 28 or 35. I remember that 10 isn't a baby but it's a child. 28 is very young, but it isn't a teenager. etc. etc. I don't want to "put down" an adult of 28 by saying his age is "like a baby", but I also don't want some 25-year-old knowing my "number" (take a look at the birthday cake picture on your post and add a couple of years) and imagining that I'm "over the hill".

Then again, I know a lot of elderly people who have kids my age - and they treat me as they treat their own kids (as an adult but as a still-young-side one) - and that's kind of nice.
