How many of you are annoyed when somebody asked your age?

Hello Bebs08! I don't feel annoyed when someone ask my age. I mean, when they ask me about it, I would tell them I am 22 with the smile on my face..hehehe..But I kew someone who is ashamed to tell her real age. Everytime someone will ask her age, she will say that she's like that and the age the she gave to them is actually 5 years younger than her age..heheheh..

Ha!ha!ha! It is not a big matter to me. I'd tell my age whoever asks at any time, any place anywhere. I don't think I have to hide anything anyway. I don't think I have to be conscious if they'd say Oh you are already 52. Yes I'd say a big YES and I am going 53! Then they'd say I thought you are already early 40s. They I'd tell them well that is the wonder of living a healthy life and mot of all living with Jesus who gave me the joy that keeps me forever young at heart.

I am not. I even enjoy sharing my age. May be it is the worrying thing for ladies. I can remember in a Fear factor show on Television, there was a lady who lasted for 10 weeks or so, didn't tell her age. The anchor was calling her his grandmother and told us that she is 80 years old but then also she didn't tell her actual age. For me, I only get annoyed when people say that I am getting too old to be married!

Hello bebs, let me put it this way. While we are still a toddler, we were wishing when we could older because being a young there were so many restrictions. When we reached our teens we are proud of our age isn't it? Sweet sixteen etc etc...we start noticing our age when we reach almost 30's but still a single though we have so many relations passed. We start getting annoyed when somebody ask our real age while we remain single yet at near 40's. We would just be flattered if somebody said our face is younger than our age..wow it makes us younger isn't it? Now, getting older is so disturbing, annoying sometimes we considered it a big problem when we are still single. I think it's just normal. It's up to the people concern how they will turn it positively. Even us married people as we already 40's up we are starting to get ready for the next years to come for us... For single aged individual the only solution that could lessen the annoying problem of the age is to get married. I think that's one of the best solution...Good luck

I dont really mind telling my age.Women are the ones who wont tell their age.They simply divert to some other thing when asked about their age.Old women will tell their age +/- 2 yrs , but the women aged between 20-40 are the ones who dont want to reveal their age.

maybe because we have the different cultural backgrounds. i find that we don't mention about being ask for age in our country. it's really nonsense about politeness. but after western culture relecting, the tradition becomes day by day.

Well...LOL!! Nopes, I don't get annoyed if anyone asks me my age. They hardly do unless it is required for some reason. Anyway, I can't help growing older. One can't grow younger, and I don't want to grow younger. I would like to grow older and die naturally. I really feel some women (and maybe men?) are stupid in their desperate attempts to look younger. Most of them never succeed. Cheers and happy Mylotting

i used to get so irritated when people ask my age hehehe....specially when i answer a vague answer, they would just insist and ask it over and over. now i don't get irritated anymore because whenever somebody asks me my age i just tell them whatever they want to hear and that usually just shuts them off...but of course they wont know if that's my real age hehehe...

I just tell them I was born in 19 hundred and none of their business.

I don't get annoyed being ask of my age especially if it is need. Well that is a fact so why get angry being asked. Age is just numbers and everyone will reach that age. What matter most with me is that I grow old gracefully and I have done good with others and in some way I have touched their lives. Though a lot of people would say I look younger than my age but I never get offended if I am being asked. Well i think that boardmate of yours friend is really a grouchy person. . Hope she doesn't read on this...

I have never been annoyed when asked my age. I have nothing to hide. I am 35. I just dont care. My friend on the other hand celebrates her 29th birthday every year. Actually it is a 29th birthweek every year:)

Hi Bebs! I think that especially for women it is rather a bit rude to be asking that question. Some women are a bit sensitive about that particular question especially as they get older. I don't think that it is right for people to assume that just everyone wants to share that information. I don't mind telling my age, but I am not alway comfortable giving it out in front of a room full of strangers anymore as I am really getting quite a bit on in years. And I can certainly understand that a single woman would feel uncomfortable giving her age because of the way that society looks upon unmarried women, which is so wrong and so stupid!

It does not really annoy me much because i'm a guy. I would just tell them my age without feeling offended or something. I does annoy me when someone keeps on insisting that i am very old when i am only 29. Which i feel is still a young age. Maybe it does apply to women that's why i try to avoid asking their age as much a possible.

i dont need to deceive about my age..peoples usually think that i´m 19 years old..but i´m not yet :) i´m 18 soon...so i must deceive nobody :P i think that´s good :)

The fact that I still get carded can be annoying. I have been told I look younger than my actual age. So does my hubby. Among our friends his nick name used to be "Baby face" As we get older, I guess it can be flattering.

Yes I am because for me it's so unethical asking a person's age unless he'she told it to you himself. There are even people who asks this question in public and for me that's totally ignorance. It's quite a very personal thing so i understand people who gets anooyed or mad being asked of their age unless of course it's neccessary for official purposes.

hi no i do not get annoyed when some one asks me about my age.in real many perceive to be very young to my age,so i do not have any sort of problems regarding my age. though i get annoyed with the frequent questions abt my age in the chats. Revealing age does not bother me much in the real andf for me no one really came up to me and directly slapped that question on my face. bye

Hello Bebs, i don't have a problem if people asked me of my age because most of them would react WHAAATTTT!? are you serious? and yes, i would say i am serious and i am not joking. Well the next question will be how come? hehehe! anyway when most of these friends asked me why i look so younger than my age, i would say it's because i smile a lot and i know that it helps me to fight over stress and more. So even when i post my pictures online and they ask how old am i, they will all say i am younger than my age, it is a blessing to me. Happy Mylotting!

In Korea, when a person is asking for age, they will definitely give you a cold stare. Age for them is a priceless possession, though in modern ages, others give it like candy. I've been doing level tests for Koreans to check on their level in the world of English Language and part of the tests is for them to be conversant and be confident in speaking English, once we get to the question about how old they are, I always make it a point to ask them "How young are you?", this is to keep them in their comfort zone and respecting their belief and culture when it comes to these topics. Nevertheless, who minds about age, as long as you're happy and gay, that makes the world go round!

I really don't mind. I only care when someone says it in somewhat of a condenscending tone. I am only 19, so obviously it is much harder for older adults to take me seriously. It is only aggravating when they associate a younger age with stupidity.
