most of the time,i encounter people who,when asked what about their age,are afraid to reveal what their true age really is.i don't know why.i think age ain't nothing but a number like what aaliyah said,and all of us,do get to that age once in our lives.so why be afraid in saying it? share your thoughts please.thanks! happy mylotting!

Maybe they think that revealing their age would make them feel old. For me age doesn't matter as long as you know how to take care of yourself well. And for me, it a number that symbolizes your wisdom. The higher it gets, the more wisdom you have.. Godspeed...

I am not afraid or ashame to reveal my real age as I am happy I reach this age without any major problems at all. (Praise GOD). Every single second is a blessing for me. Because God allow me to wake up each day and enjoy what He has given me.

The only times I have lied about my age is when I was under 21 and trying to get served in a bar I don't care if people know how old I am, I've lived too long to care I suppose. Tomorrow the 20th, I shall turn 58

I have no idea. I never had any problem revealing my real age. It's just numbers anyways. They say you cant ask a woman her age. Like I said, I dont have any problem telling my real age.

I guess people feel the need to lie about their age because they know that most people think that youth and beauty are synonymous. Let's face it there are very few people who age well. Personally, I think age is just a state of mind and that you are as old as you feel. Just so you know, I say my real age too... It's uhhh... Nevermind...
