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?

| 61. panmin (80) | 10 months ago |  i am a chinese,maybe the question asking age is not that serious in our country.but i know you American don't like people asking your age. if a stranger ask about our ages,that will make us unnaturely.but a friend ask u about your age,it is ok,i will tell them. also,is u look younger than your exactly age,it maybe proud of u to tell pthers about your age,coz you look so nice.

63.  cher8558 (370) | 10 months ago |  Hi friends,
The only reason I don't like people asking my age (just had a b-day on the 1st) is because like the others said, I forget a lot of the time. It truly is just a number to me. Until people bring it up (and bum me out), I really don't think about it and I like it that way.
Cheers (48)
Cheryl

64.  bagumbayan (1745) | 10 months ago |  When there is a valid reason to ask why not, but just to make fun of me I dont like. I am quite older than perhaps you do bu I dont care. Everybody will also age like me just happen that I am ahead of them. So I am not ashamed nor guilty of my age. I am happy with what I am now because of my age.

 lordwarwizard (10401) | 10 months ago | Sometimes, it is their expression when you tell them your age and/or what gets triggered in your mind when you are reminded of your age. Nothing to do with making fun or not... | |
|
|
| bagumbayan (1745) | 9 months ago | I am not making fun of it. And hope others wont make fun of it too. Age is something that make us more mature in thingking and of course in things that we do. | |

| 67. amored13 (26) | 10 months ago | i am 28. and i love the part when people take time to guess my real age noting my physical features... hehehe. well my young peers see me as a cool guy with this age while the older ones see me as one of their own... i dont have any problems about my age. i think as our society develops socially, the 'age issue' starts not to exist... internet now makes the oldies young and kicking... | |

| 68. Gwapako_28 (1754) | 10 months ago |  It depends on the situation and the person who asked me that way! If it sounds sarcastic because they found my looks older than my age, then it really bothers me lol. But when it sounds i look younger than my age then, actually i feel fine about it and proud of it though... So, it really depends...

| 70. amoyube1980 (665) | 10 months ago |  lol!!
I don't mind being asked about my age especially if there is a follow-up comment like: you look so young for your age (vanity?1?)
I only hate it when granmamas add tha classic question: when are you gonna get married? girls should be married before 30 otherwise the going get's tough.
It makes me feel as though 30 is the the end of my world. And it's like i'm a freak for staying single this long and avoiding the marriage crunch. Which I don't really feel by the way, I just think that there are a lot of other stuffs to be explored in this world and so little time.
