Never understood the age thing being rude for females. If you find that offensive you have other issues going on that don't involve other people

I don't find the age thing offensive unless ....Please read.

1. They send me a private message on my facebook and I didn't show them any interest at all and they ask me how old I am when 1. My date of birth is under "about" me on face book, they didn't take a few minutes to read my profile but want to bother me in messages? 2. I did not give them any indications that I am attracted to them and no indications that I am interested so why ask me such a personal question? it's not like I want to date you or **** you. I mean why "interview " me when i am not into you? Women also have personal preferences , shocking, sarcasm. Why ask me this when I did not flirt or show any interest , it's not even a date, they do this to me.

why do you men ask a woman this after barely meeting her? It's happened to me on a couple of occasions like it's a trap question? and what answers are you looking for or expect to hear??

well???

(btw- this is not a long term dating situation, just a casual get together)
Well I wouldn't ask a woman about marriage on a first date. I might ask you if you have children. If you say no, I might ask you if you'd like kids one day. I would tell you about my children. That doesn't mean I want to have children with you, I am having a one on one, personal conversation. Personal questions are going to be asked.

How old are you? Does that really **** you off? Why? Its your age. If a woman tells me she is 33 or 40, I know that I may have to use different social references in the conversation. If I went out with a 20 year old, they might not even get an animal house joke or something.

I never understood why women would be so pissy about asking their age, if they aren't self conscious about it themselves.

Hey, I'm 35, thats just how old I am. Hiding that just seems stupid.

I tend skip frivolous questions like marriage or kids when it comes to "casual" dating and get straight to business: your place or a hotel, should we get lube, booze, zig zags, etc. And as far as age, I'll take your word that you're old enough to engage in sex.

Lol

And when guys ask a woman's age, at least make sure she is also attracted to you and interested. I get so many guys who just because I say hi when they say hi, they are asking me these questions with in 4 minutes of a platonic hi. Don't assume every woman you're attracted too don't have preferences in looks and age, because they do , too
Agreed. I am 43 and when I did online from 39-41 was bombarded by men in their late 50's and above. No way, yuck.

Thread is 5 years old. Does the OP's issue really come up that often, that the thread is still relevant? Just wondering.

And yet, there is a thread in this very forum with a 40 year old woman is dating a 63 year old man.

I've dated older women who kept in shape and looked good. When I was 30 I was with a 45 year old woman for a while. It was great.

I'm not asking ages to make people feel bad or anything. If I ask someone out, its because I'm interested in them, and I think they look good.

Why do you keep doing it then? Some sort of masochist? Geez, stop saying hi to every tom dick and harry, say hi to the one's you want to hear back from. You should be old enough to know that society make's it impossible to be attractive and kind, without having to risk backlash. So you either have to not let it bother you, or you have to stop saying hi.

How old are you? HOW DARE HIM ASK THAT QUESTION!!!! FOR SHAME!!!!! (SMH)

We don't want to waste time with a girl that doesn't share the same views as us (marriage and kids) It would be a HUGE waste of time to spend a month or more with a female if she doesn't want to get married or have kids. I rather know from the start so eventually can build towards that.

Possible responses:
1) Why? Are you asking?
2) Are you offering?
3) I'm old enough to know better, but too young to do anything about it.
