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?
This would be in the context for example... You're at an event and a news reporter wants your opinion on how the event is going so far blah blah, blah blah.
" Its sometimes better people don't get to know you..
Cuz the more they know you, the less they understand & accept you..
Alone is better, what say " - SRK
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 you then dont come fuming at me

I thought women were very defensive if you ask them this kind of question
It is not polite to ask a woman her age........... of course when do people do what is polite anymore?
For me, if someone asks my age, I am not offended, but it also depends on the context. There can be a lot of age discrimination-- for both young and old. Knowing an individual's age can cause bias.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
"Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).".."[Al Qur'aan 3:2]
Well I don't really mind if anyone asks me about my age....Why would I ponder on such an unimportant thing...Rashad, you are being too silly these days...lol...jk
