Hi Loki, smart way to get everyone's age!

I'm 37 (pls don't call me old ) and if people ask me I'll tell them but I would never go and disclose my age when not asked.

A more tactful way to ask age is to ask graduated in which year etc....Of course for acquaintances, for friends you can ask straightaway, yaar.

Hi Loki,

I'm 31.  Btw wat's ur age? U have forgot to mention it.

@sshanthi - tobe frank u do not look like 37 at all.  I thought u must be around 33. 

Hi Loki,

Nice blog interesting question.. even i wonder many ladies feel ashamed to tell their age after marriage. And many used to get irritated or get angry when u ask what is ur age? My opinion is some gals look young even after marriage, if they tell their age the young ones used to call them as aunt.. many ladies doesnt like to call them as aunty.

One of my neighbour having two kids but she used to tell that they are her sister kids and not mine...the reason is she want to show herself young in front of others... moreover she used to makeup herself like a dramatist.. one seeing all her behaviour we used to laugh only..

And my DOB is 30 Sep 1982.

Thanks, Vidya. Actually nowadays telling the age shouldn't matter. There are people who are so graceful in their 50s and 60s, that I really admire them.

 Hi all...........

I didn't think that i will get prompt comments for this blog........anyway nice to know that u are all feels free to disclose ur age.

ok coming to my AGE .

I'M 23.(pls don't get shock pa)

hey nice interesting topic!..

This happened when we asked our frnd here who as a family is different from others..won't reveal cooking secrets, ingredient secrets etc...not to mention amazing cook and discoverer of lot of different ingredients from various shops around the city... She has superiority complex over others that they are smarter than other ppl...

ivlo build up ethukku?...coming to the point..

My naughty husband asked her daringly abt her age ...she immediately asked us to accept her FB request...when we visited her profile her dob showed 15th aug 1947 ....at the same time we noticed the educational qualification and year of passing which very well gave us clue and we guessed her age.  We initially pretended as though we were unable to guess..blah blah... Then we told her "akka ** is this ur age?" She was little shocked and again malupal frm her end...finally she agreed and asked us if she had by mistake mentioned it somewhere....we kept the secret to ourselves...shhh lol...

ithukku peruthan poahtu vanguratha?  she is still asking us abt our guess...

Reminded of this incident when I read shylaja pointed that smart way to ask age is to ask abt year of(graduated year) passing +2.....(+ 1 or 2 in some cases where improvement has to be taken into acct) .

Sari..my turn ..am 30 yr old turning 31 next month..Twenties will make you proud and happy..when u cross 20s and turn 30...definitely a big mile stone  atleast psychologically...

 @ poornima -  (he...he....he)she is a funny lady 

There is nothing to tell the age frankly..

Ill surely tell my age when it is being asked..

And I'm going to be 28 yrs old

In my office, Some of my friends are younger than me so they will have fun on me by saying "aunty", they wont allow me to do sighting, comment on the boys  etc..If i tell any negative comments on love films they will tell naanga ellam youthu so we r enjoying the filmnu...

Enna pandradhu idhellam kala kodumai..

Loki,

Actually this question was also running in my mind for past many yrs..good u brought it out..

Dont know y people r very fussy to let their age out..and that too with girls...As shanthi said, now adays people in the age group of 50-60s are very active , so no probs in disclosing....

Hey loki didnt think that u will be 23 da..

Good .

I am just 29 pa..

Nothing wrong in telling the age.... i will tell my age frankly... I am 29 now...

I know a girl who married a guy who is 1 year less than  her.. to hide that she told a different DOB in her office... Her hubby also joined the same office... HR summa irupangala... They found out that.. what is wrong in this...Nothing.. We have to live our life for ourself  only and not for the sake of others........

hey loki...good discussion...

i personally dont mind disclosing my age, but the moment i say my age...i want to know the other person's age also...if they dont tell...i will feel hurt...

my dob is 26 dec 1982

loki nee enkitta matum than ketannu nenaicha , u will ask the personn who ever meet aaaaahhhhh????  i am 28

hi nice topic fpr discussion.... Let me tell u something which i came across recently.... There is a famous malayalam magazine " VANITHA" . in that in a recent edition there was a write up abt Seematti (Kerala). now it is taken by a lady... sorry i forgot her name...  her family photo was given... she has 3 children... her age was not mentioned directly.... but her marriage year was given... and looking at her children v can guess her age... Trust me .... Never can u tell her age by looking at her.... she was so amazing....my guess is she must b some 45 +  but she looks just 25 something....

sorry i did not tell my age... i'm 29

Hmmm...loki......my age s 22......

Hi

Am 29 years young ,,, and till date i ve not asked anybody of their age (dunno y ) and i ve always disclosed my age ...so it does not matter ...

n i cud see so many re 29 ....so we will reach 30 soon ..

once in teens .. n now in thirties

loki,

 I'm 27yrs,no probs in disclosing my age,but usually i won't ask anybody's age,i had many matured friends,

 hey that's nice to see more comments & mentioning ur age too.............

thanx all 

i posted the same blog in blrmoms.......... der also i got good responses 

will post that link

hi friendz........

this is the link of blrmoms which i posted the same blog

 http://blrmoms.com/blogs/7062/posts/22403-age-matters---no-matters

Loki, i dont think it was nice to have asked the lady her age directly. U are only 23 now, maybe when u r 33, u wud not be so direct..!

U will understand when u reach that stage.

As for me, i will not like being asked my age, i think its personal.

All women are sensitive about their age, and we should respect that.

If u notice, we dont generally ask or get curious about the age of a lady/girl who is quite obviously younger than us, or looks much younger than us. If u r sure the lady is older than u, u will tend to boldly ask..

Think about it...!! Nothing serious..!

wow,nice to see that many of u hv shared ur age. normally i feel uncomfortable to ask others age.,but i never hesitate to tell my age if i am asked.

I am 31 yrs..

I think women feel offended when asked their age coz they are insecure about it and think they are old. I am absolutely not ashamed of my age as there is no reason to be so. I am 31 and loving it!

In our society, age is associated with maturity, behaviour, status etc. If you reach a certain age you are suppossed to have acquired (by yourself or it is thrust upon you) a certain material, spiritual and societal status. If not, one is not upto the mark! This creates so much insecurity amongst those who either have not attained it or plainly not interested in the ranking!

I got married when I was 21, and suddenly after marriage I was supposed to mature overnight! My parents got upset if I dint know certain procedures. Children who called me 'akka', now started calling me 'aunty'. I was shocked and I hated my husband for bringing so much baggage! Anyway, realised later that all these small things should mot affect my life.

Coming to the point, I think being in your 30s is a very enjoyable stage. It is a right blend of responsibilty, freedom, romance, love, motherhood etc....what say the beautiful girls in their 30s???

ANU4NIVEDH   n i completely agree wid u ..

Good blog Loki....BTW my DOB is 4-Nov-1982

I am 29 pa.  I use to say my age to everybody.  there nothing to hide

Im just 24yrs...

Hey Dharini,

Nice reply, agree with u...

DHAARINI

""Coming to the point, I think being in your 30s is a very enjoyable stage. It is a right blend of responsibilty, freedom, romance, love, motherhood etc....what say the beautiful girls in their 30s???""

Full points for the above comment...! Well said, i like it..!

My age is, 25. And i am happy to reveal my age even when i reach 80 s or 90 s ..

crossing 30's gives me a slight pain like as though I am crossing my teen age!...Konjam persunga category illaya....neraya perukku blood same blood varum apdinnu nenaikiren....

enjoyable, more responsible agreed.....but vayasu yerudhu....can't help it.At the same time this decade transition irrespective of age would definitely make one feel slight jolt I think...how do u feel ppl?

Loki,

I also personally dont like asking the age of someone and would not mind revealing my age if asked in an appropriate manner. That will not stop me from responding to anyone even if they abruptly ask for my age. Certain people may really not wish to disclose their age or would not like being asked their age in an abrupt manner and I think we should totally give them that choice.

We are saying here that there is nothing wrong in asking someone's age but how many of us would ask a stranger be it a male or a female counterpart for his salary......I feel it is again courtesy not to ask that. Unless we are recruiters/consultants where it is a mandate to ask the candidate for his/her salary details.

Having said the above, I am 29 and will soon be turning 30 in a few months from now.

Every time you shout at me, I feel confident,but the moment I see myself in the mirror..but ne solli solli "nan oldie" nu polambarada vittuten. Thanks for stopping me.

i'm   74  born ....sranj   sorry   nisha,  am  elder  to  you!

ANU emma ippadu irukira too bad.............

Hey Loki, indha blog la my opinion is that age is a personal thing, and i would not like it if asked directly...

Adhanaal, i will not mention my age in this blog..

but otherwise, in some of my comments, i HAVE mentioned my age,

mudindhaal kandupidi...

 appadiya vishayam............

u should be above 35.

am i correct???

 hey enna anu age sonnune  allu escape-a

• coff coff...yenna topic idhu onnum puriyiley

 @ anu..........i will cum to ur way of asking question......if u r going to a hospital der doc is asking ur age. will you tell him or not.???(nalla matinagala)

NOTE:- doc is also asking ur AGE directly.

@ buzz( sorry don know ur name)-pls read the comments right from the beginning........ungalaku nalla puriyum

S LOKI. Doc idam definitely solluven. Becos the doc has nothing to do with my age, only he wants to know my age to be able to prescribe the right treatment for me.

AND, he is not going to remember my age, the next time i go there, correct..?

ofcourse there will be places where we have to mention our age, angey solli thaane aaganum...

But otherwise, summa kekkaravangalukku edhukku sollanum.

Lady doc idam ponaal, veru sila personal vishayangal kuda keppa, naan summa ketta nee solluviya..?

What i m trying to say is, there are some things ppl consider to be personal, we should respet them for it, and avoid asking it.. Enakku therinju some women dont even mind discussing their M cycles and related stuff with neighbours... I DO.

Nee chinna ponnu, u will understand when u grow up... Kovichukaadhey..

 ok anu akka naan ippo rombhave thelvu aaita

A BIG SORRY FOR ASKING UR AGE.PLS FORGIVE ME.

Hey enna idhu sorry ellam sollittu...! what ya..?

indha vishayathil our views are different, avvalavuthaan..

There will be always be ppl who will disagree with our viewpoint, take it easy, dear..

And all the best for ur MBA.

Ugadi annikki u have given us a pleasant news..

UGADI SUBHAKANKSHALU..!

Since u r in Blore, i thought u speak kannada, nee Telugu va..? Nanum half-telugu, theriyuma..?
