Anybody lie about their age? - Page 2

No, I really don't have a reason to lie about my age. I'm 54 and I'm totally fine with that!

No, and I don't understand the secrecy about someone's age 🤷‍♀️ . Regardless, have a happy birthday 🎉🎈🎂!!

First of all Happy Birthday !! what a blessing ! As for me, I am 70 years young and very proud to tell anyone ( I'm told I don't look my age) I am grateful to the Lord that he has allowed me to see 70 yrs and living a wondeful life of retirement. I have 2 wonderful children and 2 wonderful grandsons. Enjoy the rest of your special day !

@Goodie2shoes You are blessed!❤️

A very Happy Birthday! No I don't lie but if someone is rude enough to ask my response is: Why do you ask? Usually shuts them up. I'm not vain but don't like intrusive questions to satisfy someones curiosity.

It is really sad that some women feel they have to lie about their age, in 2021.

I've never lied about my age but I was older than was common for a first marriage at 40. Prior to that, I worked for DoD and dated a lot, and most men were younger ( by 2-10 years) and didn't seem to realize I was older ( DH is 7 years younger). I was reticent about volunteering my age but would drop hints ( which never got picked up!). I would say something like Roger Staubach was at Naval Academy when I was at U of Md or I was in H.S. when JFK was inaugurated. Of course as soon as I started dating DH I made sure he realized exactly how old I was ( it didn't matter to either of us).

I typically use a 5 year age range: When I was 40, I stayed 40 until I was 45, then 45 until I was 50, etc. Now I am 70, until I am 75. Actually I have to kind of think back to my birth year and go from that because at any given time I'm not sure of my actual age.

I never knew exactly how old my mother was until she was eligible for Medicare. It seems she may have fibbed a bit on my birth certificate. This age obfuscation seems to run in her family.

And @Goldengate8361, Happy Birthday! Wishing you many more.
