Are you honest when you say your age?

    I know people who don't say their real age, like take off 2 or 3 years... I remember my parents doing that.

    My mom looks younger than her age, so she sometimes took off a few years.

    Gee, I'm just the opposite, I rather say my real age, and wait for a compliment saying "hey you look good for your age".

    How about you, do you ever lie on your age?

    I'm honest about my age. Then I have people say to me, "Wow! I thought you were much older!!!"

    Yes, I am honest, but sometimes I get looked at like I'm lying. For instance being carded to buy a lottery ticket.

    JH, you could tell me a different age and get away with it for sure.

    Yeah. I like finding out how old i look tho, so sometimes i ask how old people think i look, which is usually my age anyway.

    Once i hit 35, i think i might lie tho.....

    Whenever I tell people how old I am, they say they would have pegged me about 7-8 years less. It really bugs Mr. Scully when someone calls for him and asks for my dad.

    I am usually truthful about my age... although I have the reverse problem to most people, I don't want to be younger I want to be older...

    In my line of business it is not to your advantage to be a 21 year old female... I would get more respect, sadly enough, if I was an overweight, 55 year old, balding male...

    I joke around, and add twenty years, ...

    Sometimes it is funny.
