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?

| 81. karthikeshwar (61) | 10 months ago |  sometimes i like it and sometimes i don't.I am 15 years old and i'm not ashamed of it. i woul be the first one to tell my age eventhough i am one year elder than the rest of my classmates.age is just one of the way dividing people, do not make it a big issue, but i've senn that girls hesitate to tell their age, they fell uncomfortable for what reason.nut still we are unique.age is required in certain areas such as for matured content.

82.  dana234 (1355) | 10 months ago |  Hi lord,
Well, I feel pretty much the same like you do. It doesn't even occur to me to ask people their age. What for?
In return I can't stand it when I get asked. I just change the subject instead of answering their indiscreet question. And no, I don't do it in a subtle manner. I want people to realise that I DON'T FEEL OBLIGED TO ANSWER.
You would be surprised how well this works:-))
Everyone starts talking about s.th. else and that's the end of the story.
Maybe you could give it a try...

| 83. muscles4me (9159) | 10 months ago |  I do not feel like 28 is anywhere near being old. I am 60 so people do not usually ask me how old I am. However I do agree with you and do not think this question should be asked unless you are filling out medical or employment papers.

| 86. mflower2053 (2836) | 10 months ago |  I always respond with how old do you think I am. Why are they asking my age anyway. Unless its for something like the dr or something like that. This year I will be 30 years old. Hubby told me I need to go start getting blood work done. Making me feel older lol.

87.  coolchai (463) | 10 months ago |  hi there, you remind me of my grandmother. when i introduced my xbf to her, my xbf asked abruptly of her age. and she scolded "is that nice?" so i guess asking an elderly of her age is not nice. but honestly there is nothing wrong if you were asked your age.

| 88. reulin (72) | 10 months ago |  it depends...but most of the time it's okey for me if they ask my age because often times, people taught they are older than me. And when they found out that I am older then they are, respect is kinda' growin' within.

| 89. thenextnoel (283) | 10 months ago |  Sometimes. I'm 21 but I look like a 16 year old because of my "baby face". What really irks me is that when someone younger who thinks they're older than me starts acting all superior, giving me advice and such. I guess looking younger than you really are has some advantages but not always.

I feel very uncomfortable when somebody ask my age specially in front of public, bus or other relatives.

| lordwarwizard (10430) | 10 months ago | Yes, that aces it. Why ask in a public place where everyone can hear (overhear)? Some privacy please!! | |
