I don't know about that....old manners never go out of style. Maybe if more people remembered the manners their nana taught them, the world would be a better place, much kinder place. I live in the deep South we say yes ma'am & no sir & we always hold down our skirt in the wind instead of our hair.

Yes..women should be unfettered and free to live the lives of the enigmatic, timeless classics they were born to be.

It's bad enough that your attractiveness is based on your body mass index without having to drag age into it all haha

Fingerless, I truly love your little white gloves.

All the better to practise unqualified and unsolicited surgical procedures on you my dear.

Those gloves are rubber ..be very afraid.

General age range is all that I worry about...behavior often trumps an age I normally am not attracted to also...

I also think there is a time/place/way to ask...but,online dating is different...you usually already know..

I'm 52, soon to be 53..I don't mind telling anyone...but, I too, would have had a problem with someone making such a big deal out of it in public..with people I didn't really know...

Her biggest problem is her pretentiousness.
She needs to drop the 'lady' act, and get real.

In reality is knowing someones exact age all that important?

It's part of getting to know someone.
If they're putting effort into concealing their age, it's simply the tip of the iceberg.
Red flag.

Isn't just knowing their approximate age good enough?

Not if you're getting to know each other, with an eye on a relationship.

A few years here or there can't make that much of a difference or can it?

It's never been a big deal for me, but I'm not everyone.

We live in a time where we are bombarded with looking youthful.

Name me a time, when youthfulness was not attractive...

Just about every advertisement has to do with ways to look more younger, act younger, dress younger, eat this or that to be younger, drink this or that, use this product, use that product & on & on. We are obsessed with being young.

I've heard my whole life what women 'wanted' from a man.
Everything from being a 'gentleman', to being a good 'provider'.
I've never done either, and I've never had problems attracting women, or keeping them.

I really don't think people that fudge a few years on their age are just big liars. It's more like it is almost embarrassing to be a certain age & to have to admit it.

I've met a number of women, who admitted right off that they lied about their ages on their profiles.
The reasons they gave were so that they would be in a wider 'search' range, and not be blocked by a brick wall age filter.

Is knowing someones exact age all that important, especially if you meet them IRL where you can pretty well determine how old a person is just by looking?

It never used to be a concern of mine.
I typically dated women within a few years of mine. But, I have to admit, now, I more focussed on younger women.

Does it bother you if someone asks how old you are?

Fortunately for me, I have yet to come across anyone (male or female) who isn't really surprised at my actual age. People most often guess that I'm 6-8 yrs younger than my age.

^^^ He should have gotten to know her in private and not made such an issue out of it in a roomfull of strangers. I think he was pretty inconsiderate.

Sorry, I forgot about that part.

Ya, I agree.
Although I'd say he was a complete fvcking tool for putting her on the spot, and making HER the topic of scrutiny and conversation, among a room full of strangers.
She should have told him her age, and asked how big his d1ck was...

Ooooh I love it when you concede to me

Does that mean you'll wear the heels with the little ankle straps, tonight?

They're my favorite....
