Why do we always have to mention our age?
Why is it our age seems to be mentioned in most cases?Whenever a male or female are mentioned on News or newspapers they always say their ages. I wonder why it is so important. Even on shows like Eggheads everyone quotes their ages.
Surely saying.... young/mature/elderly person is sufficient.
If I didn't know my age I would definitely think I was about fifteen years younger, even more so in mind, but my age tells me differently.

I think your age tells a lot about what you have experienced in life. I don't mind people knowing my age, and I don't feel any younger than I am, your actual age doesn't stop you being up to date with what's going on and your outlook.

I never mention mine, ever, not that many know and it suits me that way. Over 50, obviously.
Think the celebs like to go on about it because with all the botox and fillers they think they don't look their age, they're right, they look a lot older!!!

I suppose it gives you a fair indication into the persons life experiences, asking the age or telling their age doesn't bother me in these quiz programs, what annoys me in 'Pointless' is when the presenter has to ask the contestants what they'll do with the money if they win it, I know what I'd tell him, sometimes it's as low as £1,000, and that's between two of them.

AGE!!!!! In material and unimportant. I have problems with my own age 67 and chasing hard the ass of 68. I am however some many years junior to that, in my head. To some this age thing may be a source of problems but some of the cleverest people I know and have heard about are in their 50s-60s 70s and even 80s. Age pah! It's of no matter folk.|
