If I were to ask how old are you

[PouringRain]

I won't get offended so long as s/he does not assume I am 15 and still attend secondary school.

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! ^o)

 

[Ansariyah]

Nope, I wouldnt mind.

 

[Abdul Wahid]

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.

 

[Snowflake]

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)

I 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 you mg: then dont come fuming at me :embarrass

[~Raindrop~]

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.

I would assume people in their 40s or 50s would get offended.

Or if I'm interviewing people I know. =/

i wouldnt be offended at all and im in my 40's

 

[Endymion]

Why would i get offended.I will simply give them a wrong idea about my age

 

[Haya emaan]

bieng offended.. not at all....

 

[Revert 2010]

I would say guess, it's always interesting to hear the answers lol.

 

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

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

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

hmm, is it Eid yet!?

 

[sherz_umr]

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.

 

[Ranya]

In Italy it's normal to ask how old are you. It's not a problem for me.

 

[Zuzubu]

Obviously not? It's just an age.

 

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

How could you possibly be offended by what is only a natural occurrence? :/
