I am starting to read that people doesn't technically feel comfortable with their own ages' or their age group because they realistically would face discrimination or people just quickly make assumptions about you because you are a specific age. My age is actually my real age and I don't at all feel ashamed to admit my real age, I mean yes unfortunately I do get some assumptions based off of my age range but I really don't care how others see most 23 years olds' But I wonder about you ladies and gentlemen do you usually lie about your own ages, also have you ever face any discrimination because you are in a specific age?
Guys and Girls I wonder would you be the sort of person who who would lie about their age?
I'm 13 and I was told ones (not here) that I'm still a kid to talk so maturely by my cousin. Over here I wasn't discriminated but accused of catfishing only because I seem very mature to be 13. But I am not ashamed of my age for this. I never felt that I should stop thinking deeply or that I need to grow old. Depends on people what they think. I'm coming all clean. I don't care if they think me a catfisher and hate. I'm being myself.
Well I don't care about negative comments which doesn't suits me because I know in what I'm good and which negative comment is actually true. Yes my friends or cousins tell I'm still a kid and acting like mature is totally immature. I don't act like that. I just can't control my deep thinking and it is something which comes naturally. Even if it is immature I'm good being immature. And no one can treat me unfairly because I know how to save myself and wise enough to give an good as well as respectful reply. Thanks for MHO
I don't lie about my age. I actually am 23. I don't really receive discrimination based on my age but some people think I'm younger than I actually am. When I worked as a cashier at the grocery store (this was when I was 21 or 22) there was a man buying alcohol for his sister. He said he wouldn't buy alcohol for someone underage like I am. He thought I was under 21 but I didn't tell him anything
I feel like I grew up at the best time ever. I've had so many amazing experiences in my life and have wonderful memories, not that I'm done yet. I love being married, retired and having my own home in the country. I'm also glad to be wiser, better informed, and more mentally and emotionally mature.
The only drag is not being young and bitchen anymore. I kinda hate being seen or thought of as old. Getting old is strange. I couldn't imagine the passage of time when I was young. I remember when I thought 30 was old. I'm still the guy who surfed, drove fast cars, sang and played lead guitar in rock bands, had long hair, had my pick of girlfriends, went to concerts almost once a week and saw the most amazing bands, partied like a Viking, and was carefree. I'm glad that some of the stuff I did isn't permanently recorded electronically.
It kinda pisses me off when the more ignorant of young people call me old or say shit like "Okay Boomer". They'll never be as cool or have as much fun as I did. They should see what their grandmas looked like and how free and bad ass they were from the mid 60s through the 70s. They don't know what it's like to be free, not to be tracked and traced 24/7 or tied to "devices".
Now I'm an old guy who can share anecdotes about what life used to be like when there was liberty, America was prosperous, and young people were optimistic about the future. It's particularly sad how fucked up this country has gotten over the past 20 years. I never would have imagined it. But I'm still fighting the good fight.
I agree with what you said about yourself. Same here. I've never lied about my age. I just don't like lying. I think when I was in my 20s there were times here and there where I wasn't given as much respect as I deserved. You can't be too timid, or that will happen. But I also understand older people thinking that the young have to earn it. I don't feel discrimination in real life, but I do get insulted on GAG a fair bit; when someone is mad they attack my age. It's one of the basic descriptors people go for - age, sex, geography, political leanings. I don't take it seriously. People grasp. What does piss me off, though, is when young people (around your age, but not you) keep insisting that older people are jealous of them and their youth. That is so false, and such arrogance.
Oh I definitely understand, I don't feel jealous of others for others but there are a few people in my age who do act like jerks though but I personally find jerk in all groups of ages'.
The only time I ever lied about my age was when I was underage trying to buy alcohol. I don't get why so many pink users lie about their age on here. Then they post questions that obviously don't fit their age and they have no credibility. We were all 18 once.
I have no qualms with people knowing my real age of 45, I don't see what reason I would have to lie about it. The only time I've ever lied about my age was to get alcohol as a teen, and I had a fake ID to back it up, but I always looked much older as a kid than I really was so that was easy to pull off.
Yeah from the age of about 12-13 people used to think I was about 3 years older than I actually was. Probably how I lost my virginity to an 18 year old when I was only 15.
I lied once about it when I was 17 - I worked as a waiter at a sushi place and there was a table of about 8 girls that I was serving - there were jokes here and there and the hottest of them kept asking me to get more ginger so I teased her about that - She left her number on a napkin we went out and she told me she's 21 - I was like ohhh you're just a little older than I am - remember making a chandler bing face at that point - We also discussed me picking her up next time instead of having us meet up - Poor thing she didn't know I asked my mom to drive me there and I was too broke and too young to even legally own a car - or after writing this sentence maybe I was the poor thing
Well I am thinking of the problems recently that have two angles it is like why is gun&rose sweet child mind happening and another that may society see you to force you play the roles that often strangers see you on the street I can not fit it especially see something behind it. I dont know how to react.
you only got a few years left for that trick to work lmfao! That or a severely good cosmetic game. Might want to start wearing a fake engagement ring to that store! XD
@t-8900 these dudes don't care if you're married. I live in a college town where guys will step to a girl in front of her boyfriend and still ask her out. But yes im short and have a baby face so ig i look way younger than i am
I can't say that I've ever lied about my age, not even to get in a bar while underaged. I have reached the point that I have to stop and figure out how old I am nowadays, though, and sometimes I'm off by a year if I calculate incorrectly. Lol.
Never understood this bullshit. It's so meaningless, am 37. I would say i am 40 when i am 40 and so on. What kind of weak mentality is that to lie about age.

I graduated from college later in life so if you looked at my resume you might think I am younger than I really am. It was not something I intentionally did.
Adulthood ain't all it's cracked up to be. There are times I wish I was a certain age forever, but then I remember what I was going through at every age and I'd just as soon not go back.
Truth spoken. When we survive those awkward teen years where we have the chance to kill ourselves in a traffic accident, kill ourselves through suicide, or are kidnapped and killed, we then get to enter our 20's. In my case, I had a choice of Vietnam with the rest of my class or saving lives in the Coast Guard. I chose the lifesaving aspect but still got sent to Vietnam. Not a time I like to remember and I sure as hell wouldn't want to go back. I was in my thirties when I had my racing accident and spent the rest of the thirties and forties recovering. NO ONE likes turning 50. It usually means your life is more than half over and you still didn't do all you wanted to do. By the time you turn 60 your body starts to deteriorate and that six-pack set of abs, you had turned into a case. Nope, I'm more than halfway through my 70's and, to be honest with you, I never thought I'd make it much past 55. Nope, don't wanna have to deal with all that shit again.
@DaveToo Wow, you have had quite an interesting life. And I'm sorry about the racing accident, that truly sucks. But the hardships you have faced has made you wiser and stronger.
