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?

well i think there is no harm is telling ur age to anybody as i don't feel ashamed b'coz you have to be true to yourself in life or it will just come now or some other time in life.u can't hide the truth forever whatever may be reason.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10430)   ranked 340 out of 38,485 in life  10 months ago

You are right in that there is no reason to be ashamed of our age per se. cool

it doesnt worry me ......it your confidence and the mental grit that one has within themselves reflects upon how smart he/she....its your abilities at any age that rules the roost rather than what age are you inthumbup.....

I'm 36 years of age and couldn't care less about sharing this fact to be honest. I see no reason to be embarrassed or closeted about it at all. It IS my age, so if someone asks me, then I'll tell them! I've never really understood why people would get funny or protective about something like this. confused


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10430)   ranked 340 out of 38,485 in life  10 months ago

Yea, we should even be proud of it, regardless of which stage of life we are at! lol

I didn't mind when I was young but these days it kind of irks.
I'm 58 and it doesn't go down well in this young people's world.
Its not really a problem but people do ask out of sheer curiousity and then smile at you.

Its not a problem to me if people will ask about my age, im 28 years old too and i got no problems in it, sometimes people will guess my age and they will say 26 or 25, yes of course its flattering. But i like the way i am now, im getting older, but i learning many lessons in life. happythumbup
The number doesnt really matter, just enjoy life, we are not getting any younger so i am always health conscious too. Im trying to get fit and in good shape.
Thanks mylot and happy mylotting!lol

I am 22? I don't mind people asking me about my age, it is not because I am young, it is beacuse when people ask me how old I am, I used to remind myself that I am not a little girl anymore,I should grow up and be matured.And in my opinion, people those asking age is just want to find a topic,so you may try to understand them.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10430)   ranked 340 out of 38,485 in life  10 months ago

Yes, that is the same reason why I don't like it when people keep probing where they are not welcome. angry

I dont like being asked my age,either. angryIn some situations,I have to answer the question honestly.I hate people judging my age like what you mentioned in your discussion.Luckily,I look younger than my age.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10430)   ranked 340 out of 38,485 in life  10 months ago

I hate it when people ask my age for whatever reason. Of course if people judge you badly because of your age, it makes it doubly bad.
