Question about displaying your age

I don't wanna feel old lmao but I have no problem telling people my age if asked

I want people to know my age too

I have no issue letting people know I`m OLD. 😬

I want to forget I'm above 35.

I have no problems telling my age.

I dont like to be pigeon holed.
My Posts, comments and opinions come from me not a specific age group, young, old or otherwise. And you get to meet and make friends with a broader range of people.

I don't like to be pigeon holed or perceived based on a number. There's quite a bit of ageism and bias here.
I'm human first and foremost and that is most important.

Well, besides, I'm old. 😄

ETA: It's really no-ones business either unless I choose to say.

I prefer to share any stats beyond my gender - which I feel would be obvious anyway - on an individual basis. I've been very creeped out by a user here who was trying to compile information about me to find out even more about me off site.

I hid my age when I was in the 18-21 age group because there was a ton of creeps that would message me and then I started displaying it again in the 22-25 age group and the creeps cut down by half.. even now in the 26-30 age group I still deal with creeps but not nearly as much as when I was in the 18-21 group

Don’t want people’s preconceived notions about age to influence our interactions. Also, it’s nobody’s business and if I wish to disclose my age because I feel comfortable and it’s relevant, then I will.

Lol….. plus I’d say that anyone with half a brain reading my responses would realize I’ve been around the block a time or three. 😅

I have made it known I think that I'm older, talking of being in my 50s. But when I had my age listed it always brought people saying that I was lying.That I wasn't that old, which honestly, if I was gonna lie about my age..it wouldn't be to make me older

it's rarely pertinent on here
and on a rare occasion where it is, I don't mind disclosing it at all

what's really effed up on here is that people have the ability to hide their age yet still choose to pretend to be 100+ and display that instead ... lying about yoru age in this way A) violates the TOS and B) breaks filters ... when all you had to do was A) not lie and B) not display your age ... (they do the same thing with their sex, e.g., an F pretending to be an M and displaying that, instead of just hiding the sex ... or creating a fake alt for their cat or such) ... people are just not logical at all

Why should I display my age

I post my age group for the same reasons
I think honestly after you interact with somebody for a while you can tell if they're your age or not for the most part.

tbh i don't know. one can take make a pretty good guess how old i am because of the posts i make about the 70s and 80s etc.....but i'll say it again here, i'm 55

I feel like displaying the age creates bias
I'm in the middle somewhere. And that allows me to talk to people of all ages. Without the preconceived ideas

Plus I'm not looking for romance or a fling. So who gives a shit

It's personal information Gosh only knows what witch doctors, voodoo artists, occult devil worshippers, artificial intelligence and such can do with that information.

Showing your age creates a bias for who people think you are. I’m just here to kill a little time and talk to people when I feel like it not make deep connections so it’s not relevant.

I took my age off because several people told me "___old man", like, wrote me off as useless and old...too bad people act that way but they do...I am older than you are

I think it restricts or can restrict who wants to talk to you, but can be frustrating too.

In a word, ageism. I use a picture of myself which if anybody looks, gives away my age - maybe not the exact year, but certainly says that I'm old.

Also, I've told my age (currently 78) more than once, but displaying it feels counterintuitive to communicating with a broad range of people.

I'm not sure why, I think originally it was out of security.
I regularly mention that I'm in my fifties, so it's not that I'm hiding it per se.
I don't see age as being a barrier to who I'll speak to. Except for anyone 21 or under, and that is because a lot of people in that age group are quite immature. That said, there are plenty of older people just as immature on here, but that's what mute and block are for.

Originally it was a desire to not be judged on my age or have people try to limit interaction because of it and also because I use the site anonymously and felt age wasn't a detail people needed.

Through both some of my own maturing and realizing that some people find it an important detail and hoping that if I ever really connect with someone here that out be done without false pretense, I decided to start showing it.

I don't show mine but I'm probably having a midlife crisis LOLZ😄

Just because there are alot of weirdos out there who might gather info.

In my 30s though.

I had it hidden when I made this account because I didn't want people to link it to my old one, then I just left it that way until I turned 31 and then I put it on mainly for myself as a reminder that I'm not 20-something year old anymore, lol. To let it sink in.

I find it alarming when people have no avatar, no profile/about me, no posts but the frequent your page and troll you . There are many on here and i find very rude... Sick

The less that people know of me, the better
I’m not here to make public my personal info….that’s just careless or stupid, no? You’re asking for trouble
