Why Is Your Age Hidden?

I just wonder why some people don't reveal their age. Not that it's wrong or anything. I'm just asking.

beermeplease · M

i don't like to be judged and i like to keep 'em guessing. but i've given several indications how old i am

sciguy18 · M

Because some people experience age discrimination.

bijouxbroussard · F

@sciguy18 This.

mindstruggle · 31-35, F

@sciguy18
I've experienced this and had to delete my not-so-harmful post.

OlderSometimesWiser · F

To take any preconceptions about age out of the equation when interacting.

MsSwan

I want to be judged by my personality, not my age.

@MsSwan I tried that...didn't work out well...at all

FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays · M

@MsSwan I don't have a personality. 🐸

ElwoodBlues · M

@MsSwan Likewise

eyeno · M

Peeps wouldn't believe me even if i told them.

On another site they didn't and got all paranoid.
Guess its my zest for living life and positivity, as I don't act like an old man.

Hotchocolatezebra · 31-35, F

@eyeno Why do you need their approval?

Magenta · F

@eyeno Most are super surprised by mine as well. I'd rather avoid the entire issue of it.

eyeno · M

@Hotchocolatezebra Dont for sure👍🏻.

Lilymoon · F

I used to but meh. The less they know the better. Besides everyone knows I'm 25. 😅

Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M

@Lilymoon are you really?

HumanEarth · F

@Lilymoon You lie. Just the other week you were telling me 12,348 years old and you don't look a day older then 12,1230

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

Because any F sub-30 seems to attract a lot of attention for some reason 🤔

SW-User

@SunshineGirl ^^^

Degbeme · 70-79, M

I have no issue showing my age. I`ve worked hard to get this far in life.

Northerner · 70-79, M

Age is nothing to be ashamed of. I am content with getting to this age. A lot of my friends have not been lucky enough .

Hotchocolatezebra · 31-35, F

@Northerner That Is so true. I feel the same way.

Northerner · 70-79, M

@Hotchocolatezebra with age comes self confidence.Nothing people say bothers me.😁

Bexsy

People want to know, they can ask me. Got tired of people telling me i wasn't as old as i am so i hid the age long time ago.

Like i would lie and say I'm older than I am 🤷‍♀️

Magenta · F

Judgements, preconceived discriminations partly and it's really not anyone's biz.. My age doesn't define me.

mindstruggle · 31-35, F

I like to keep everything hidden.

NerdyPotato · M

I don't want to be reminded of it 😅

666Maggotz ·

Because no matter what it is I’m either too young or told old to have an opinion 💀 so I’ll use my ambiguous face to my advantages. I can be 20 or 40. Your choice.

Degbeme · 70-79, M

@666Maggotz You`ll always be the Adidas girl. ;)

Hotchocolatezebra · 31-35, F

@666Maggotz Smart move 😄.

SUPERVlXEN · F

I've been told I'm an old hag by some and a millennial or gen z by others, all said to degrade my person and my opinions. I feel no need in supporting anyone in judging me/anyone by their age. Therefore I've made it no one's business, those that need to know will know.

HalfwayHouseTycoon

I took it down after some guy started asking for pics of my friend's feet

updown2020 · 61-69, M

@HalfwayHouseTycoon excuse me pic’s of your friends feet?

HalfwayHouseTycoon

@updown2020 yeah

Starcrossed · 41-45, F

It's not, I think having it where it is deters a fair bit of the people who target the 20 and 30 somethings.

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

Once upon a time it was a privacy thing while I was feeling the place out. I could see some people not wanting their posts viewed through the lens of age and the automatic bias it gives some people.

Bewilderbeeste · 61-69, M

It is not. My age range is in my profile and I'm 69 now.

SW-User

I don't because I know there are people out there who judge on looks and age and why should I satisfy them?

Royricky09

Why is your

Hidden?

Hotchocolatezebra · 31-35, F

@Royricky09 It's not hidden. I just got lazy typing 😄.

Royricky09

@Hotchocolatezebra yea right...
Well I guess that's the answer for your question too... 🤣

BiasForAction · M

I’m really a 13 year old Chinese girl, not a 61 year old American male. I just pretend so I can troll.

eMortal · M

Cause I'm not here for meaningful relationships that could turn into more.

Hotchocolatezebra · 31-35, F

@eMortal You can still find what you're looking for either way.

Pfuzylogic · M

Once I turned 90 I didn’t want to scare away all of the babes.
nice profile pic btw!

ElRengo · 70-79, M

I´m in the age range that is public in my profile.
If someone needs more detail, may ask.

Nunlover

I’m so old that I forgot how old I am so I didn’t want to lie

TexChik · F

Because turning 40 also turned on my PTSD…for some odd reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️

in10RjFox · M

Ageless spirits never age. We turn a new p age every day..

KarenisKenziesmum · 51-55, F

I don't hide my age. I'm 51 now, I will be 52 on September 15th.

akindheart · 61-69, F

there is age discrimination on this site but i show mine.

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

Well this site doesn’t work when you’re 117

Pretzel · 61-69, M

Too old or too young

Hotchocolatezebra · 31-35, F

@Pretzel Just perfect.

Keeper · M

lots of unstable people on here

FloorGenAdm · 51-55, M

Wait a minute...is mine hidden now?

SW-User

It's so hypocritical -- the same people that say they don't want to show their age because they don't want to be judged are the same people that like seeing the age of other members before deciding if they want to reach out or not.

Softandsweet2 · 31-35, F

And location

FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays · M

I'm only 5 years old. And I'm afraid I'll get in trouble with my kindergarten teacher if she reads this.

KarenisKenziesmum · 51-55, F

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays I don't believe you.

FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays · M

@KarenisKenziesmum OK. I lied. I'm actually in the first grade.

NoahMuffian

Uhh I'm under 16 but why would I put my age in my profile? People use it as a excuse to sexually harass and abuse others...i

Jonjdw · 51-55, M

I’m 50. I will be 51 in October. And I’m fine with that.

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

@Jonjdw I turn 60 in October

Jonjdw · 51-55, M

@Havesomefun2 when I was young I thought 50 was old. But now I don’t think that.

Havesomefun2 · 56-60, M

@Jonjdw nope I have so much fun on this site and a couple of friends

nevergiveup · M

I dont think i need to show my age. My pictures show i am an old man

HumanEarth · F

So they can try and date children, I'm 56

stound

i figure if anyone wants to know they'll have to ask.

Neoerectus · M

We count years differently on my home world...

metaldog

I don't want to be defined by that number

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 46-50, MVIP

cause im old as dirt

azgp01 · 70-79, M

Mostly try are underage

NoThanksLeon · M

Keep 'em guessing.

bijouxbroussard · F

My age isn’t a secret, but as one of the senior posters I just became tired of it being an easy target when someone didn’t like an opinion or perspective that I expressed.

MoonaNorth86 · 36-40, F

It’s not

tenente · 100+, M

i like my immaturity and obnoxious behavior to span all age groups 🤗
