I'm a news reporter for a local newspaper, and my Editor recently gave me an important rule of news reporting...: You have to ask the interviewee's age. =/
So my question to you... Would you be offended if a news reporter asked you for your age?
Yes
No

When was pregnant with my fourth, there was a lady at a church I visited who asked me if I was going to come to the youth class!format_quote Originally Posted by Life_Is_Short

No I wouldn't mind.
Maybe its just insecure people who will offended. What's the worst that's going to happen? They won't talk to you. Move on to the next person.
I wouldn't be offended at all. But is it necessary? However, I do forget how old I am sometimes.
However I don't like telling random people on the internet how old I am. (for security reasons/ID theft etc)
Does any one else struggle to read this minute font? It's a crime : \format_quote Originally Posted by abdussattarI dont think anyone would be offended.
Never ask a woman her age, though.
Even the Old age women... dont ask their age, ask their age group...if you tell them that you are from a newspaper and show then your ID card, i think they wont be offended.
But no guarantees from my side! If any of them slaps youthen dont come fuming at me
LOL you'll probably need a magnifying glass to read that...carry it when you are coming on boardformat_quote Originally Posted by Scents of Jannah

I get asked that all the time. And about one person in 30 believes me when I tell them my age. The rest just have a huge fake smile on their face and say: come on, really?
It does get annoying.
^Come on, Reallly?? o_O
A stranger asking me how old i am? Thanks but no thanks!
got the answer

Why would i get offended.I will simply give them a wrong idea about my age
bieng offended.. not at all....
I would say guess, it's always interesting to hear the answers lol.
Why do people get offended anyway? Yea sometimes these questions are unnecessary and maybe for some reason or other you don't want to give out personal information...but some people are just unnecessarily offended like they were just insulted lol! Your age is your age, you cant change how old you turn. Most if not all will go through this, granted you're living, so why be offended? Its a natural phase...if Im still alive I'll too be old, big deal.
And to answer your question, no I would not be offended
hmm, is it Eid yet!?
As long as u dont guess their age to be older than their actual age,its fine..esp women. If u ask a woman 'ur 40?' evn if shes 39 nd a hlf..she'd b ofnded. It may b coz she'l feel ..i dunno, unattractiv/wrinkly old/ugly?.. Evrybdy wants to luk and feel gud abt their appearance.
I wont b ofended.......yet
Tel thm ur a reporter,ask their age. No offence..unles they r silly.
In Italy it's normal to ask how old are you. It's not a problem for me.
Obviously not? O.o It's just an age.
How could you possibly be offended by what is only a natural occurrence? :/
