In the past couple of months I have had men ask me what age I am during the day
I am not sure why
Once was randomly in a hallwall with his wife when we got chatting about radio
Another guy was when I was on holiday and fishing and was just randomly fishing - he wasnt trying to chat me up
Another guy today assumed I had been at Uni in 2012 (I left 2008)
They are all surprised when They find out I am mid thirties and of course no partner
Never had this happen to me before
Is it rude??
AIBU?
Men asking what age I am

I dont understand
Being a good little girl meaning you have done everything the patriachy wanted you to do?

I think it's rude.
At your age I think it's a desire to get context on how KEEN you are to settle down.
I'm 52 and healthy love clothes, makeup and fashion. So when I'm asked my age I think it's so that the person can assess accurately whether I've been a good little woman and aged well, or whether I'm a strident feminazi who owes it to the world to look better than "this".

“I have had men ask me what age I am during the day”
Do they not want to know how old you are in the night?

It's a bit odd. I'd probably answer with 'Why?'
Are you hoping people will say it's because you look so amazingly young?
