I like when people show their age. Even if I don't know their real name or picture ( which I totally understand), it's a way for me to kind of imagine who I might be talking to and where they fit within the generations.
My response to a 21 year old vs a 65 year old might be a bit different.

@JimboSaturn Exactly. Or if a 70 year old mentions that they fell in love with someone they met yesterday online I might consider them to be more of a fool than a 19 year old who says the same thing.😂

@REMsleep True. It's nice when you can find someone in your age group to chat with about things that both of you may have experienced.
LordShadowfire · M
@REMsleep Yeah, okay, I guess.
OldGrandDad · M
When you are older than dirt people tend to shy away from interacting. I'd rather someone have reason other than my age. But then again I don't hide it in my username I reckon.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@OldGrandDad Yes, I think OldGrandDad could subtle provide a clue.

I think most people who know me know that I’m one of the seniors here. I honestly became tired of people using my age as an attacking point when disputing an opinion I was expressing about [b]anything[/b]. 👩🏽🦳
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@SubstantialKick Me too. I try not to make assumptions about people because of their age.

In a place where you can get away with false age groups, what difference does it make if I show mine or not? What business is that of anyone? My words and what I share here is more important than any personal detail.
IBHappy · F
I don't think it's anyone's business what my age is. I look alot younger than my age and i don't need creepers eyeing my age.
ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M
I show my age but I often wonder about not doing so because I see a lot of ageism on here, and because I think 61-69 is too broad an age range. Yours is 31-35 not 31-39; I don't know why being in my sixties should change that level of precision.
Colormegone · 70-79, M
@ServantOfTheGoddess Tell me about it!
LordShadowfire · M
@ServantOfTheGoddess Yeah, that's messed up. It's bad enough people keep assuming I'm 50. I can't imagine once my age range is listed as a decade.
deadgerbil · 22-25
I go back and forth. I dread inching closer to the next age group. Hated it when I got into this one
deadteddy · 26-30, F
@deadgerbil What do you have against the next age group bro 🙂
deadgerbil · 22-25
@deadteddy I wanna be a kid!
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@deadgerbil It's gonna happen, one day.
Musicman · 61-69, M
I think I show mine. If I don't tomorrow is my birthday and I will be 62. 😎😎😎
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Musicman 🎂 happy birthday!
Musicman · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti Thank you very much 🙂🙂🙂

People have preconceived notions of how someone must be, based on how many times the Earth has orbited the Sun since they've been on the planet. They use a number to determine if they want to associate with that person, and in what way(s). It creates limitation based on a number.

@PhoenixPhail I'm not the one spouting drivel. That's you.
PhoenixPhail · M
@LordShadowfire Okay. You're right. You win. Byeeeee.....

No intention of lying.
Crossed 50 a few weeks ago.
Son is nearing 20.
In saying that, admire the mindset not the age

@scorpiolovedeep YES!!! And, the conclusions about age that people have been conditioned into believing and what they must represent, keeps them from [i]seeing[/i] someone's mindset. The mindset has already been prejudged with the use of a number. [i]Most[/i] people have an age prejudice and aren't even aware of it.
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
I have a question too. How do you remember you age if you don't have it written somewhere?
OldGrandDad · M
@Queendragonfly Thus far I haven't encountered that issue. LOL
Ontheroad · M
Ditto what @bijouxbroussard said, but most know I'm about three days older than dirt.
Raaii · 22-25, F
some of us like to stay mysterious
Camelia · F
Maybe you are, or maybe you aren't, but look, I'm a secretive Scorpio, and so I guess that's why I hide it, but if anyone asks, I tell them. 😆
BrewCityBarfly · M
As others have stated, don't want people to have any preconceptions about me. I don't advertise my age to others IRL either.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I just showed it because I kind of want to be identified by this age on here from this point on. It should be a reminder for me too.
Fairydust · F
I have many times here but decided to take a lot off one day and didn’t put it back on.
AlchemyFox · 36-40, F
Because it doesn't really define anyone or their life experience
kaden · 22-25
I dunno, but I might show it soon or later
HannahSky · F
Men
because i don’t want creepy men in my pms
lol @NinaTina
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
@deathfairy Understandable.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
@deathfairy if they're actully creepy i wouldnt think it would matter.
🤷♀️
LordShadowfire · M
I'm 48. That doesn't feel old to me, but recently, people who have nothing more substantial to add to an argument have resorted to "ur old lol, u dum".
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
either they're too young or too old
