AIBU to ask if you lie about your age

[ShakyMilk]

AIBU to ask if you lie about your age ... and if so why? I always wonder how many people actually do.

Yes I am a vain bugger and hate turning 50.

When I rejoined my gym last year I was 3 years younger than when I first joined. I often get confused how much I have knocked off my age.

No, I never have. I'm 42.

No, I've got no reason to. Only time I ever did was way back in the day when I wasn't old enough to get into pubs/clubs (before they used to check ID)

Not anymore- was 19 from the age of 15 until I turned 18 so as to get into places and was occasionally 15 once I'd turned 16 in order to get a child ticket to theme parks/buses etc

Well I didn't at 42 either!

I work with teenagers so yes. I've been 21 for so many years.
Always funny to watch them trying to decide if that's the truth.

No. Have considered telling people I am older than I am, so that I hear others saying I look young for my age. But I don't, as they might not.

No what's the point? Most people look their age, give or take a year or two. Only a handful are lucky enough to look much younger, either that or they are delusional in thinking they look years younger!!

39 and nope never have

I used to lie at 17 to buy vodka

I don't see the point as an adult. What's the point of telling people that I'm 36, instead of 46, and they think how shit I look for that age.

Yes when i was over 16 and trying to get half fare on the bus i got away with it till i was 20 nowadays no never what is the point.

I've only ever lied to be older - I went to uni at 17 so said I was 18 for that first year to get into clubs etc!

Not fussed about my age now (when I can remember how old I am).

No because I love it when people say. Oh my God. You don't look it. You look about 15 years younger ect ect.
I used to hate despise detest getting told I looked young for my age. Now I revel in it.

30 and no. Unless you count pretending to to older than 18 when underage and drinking.

No, never and I'm nearly 48.

I'm also not coy about it either.

I've never really 'got' why it's rude to ask someone's age. Obviously I don't (because I know it's rude), but to me age is just a simple fact.

It should be considered no ruder than asking someone's name in my view.

No. I'm 42 and everyone thinks I'm younger anyway. or just immature

Once.
At 17.11 to get into an 18 film.
Never since then.

Only jokingly. My youngest thinks I'm 25, so I tell people to ask him how old I am and ignore my other children who are all liars and say I'm 40.

Only sister got invited to her42 year old colleague's surprise 50th . No point lying you'll get caught out!

I was out a few weeks ago group of dhs workmates and wives subject of age came up 1 woman refused to say her age and said 50 something she got really annoyed about it not sure why she brought the coversation up

I don't lie about my age but I do forget how old I am when someone asks and have to say umm 33 no 34 no 35 I think.

No but dh does he says his 10 years younger than he is 😂

Sometimes when I watch First Dates I am incredulous about people's ages! I am convinced some of the people (or if I'm being totally honest, the women) on that show do. Or maybe I just can't tell people's ages very well!

I can understand why teenagers lie to get into places or to buy drinks. I think that older people who lie about their age must be very insecure or rather pathetic.

I'm 58 and I don't care who knows it.

Not intentionally. I sometimes forget though. In my head I was 27 for about 4 bloody years! I've only just got myself to realise that I am 35, when I turn 36 in a few months time I will almost certainly be confused again.
