How old are you at myLot ?

topffer @topffer (42155) • France 29 Jan 11

Years ago, I learned that asking her age to a woman was not polite when she was more than 25 years old. In real life, if a woman does not look very young, don't take the risk to be impolite ! Passed 25 years, a lady is always 20...
