This is Africa, what you guys dont know is that the fastest means to get a person is through his/her date of birth i mean in terms of spiritual. It makes me laff whenever i see someone writing their date of birth on clothe they wear.

I hide my age cos i look smaller than my age, and i don't want people to start saying "are you serious? Can't believe it, you look like you re 16" fact is it has affected my self esteem badly and made me more introverted. You don't wanna be rolling with ur age mates and u re the smallest in their midst how would u feel?

Dunno. But I guess when one gets to some certain stages in life, there are responsibities one is expected to take on so some people hide their age to avoid such responsibilities. Conversely, as you grow older, there are some things or behaviours people expect you to drop. But some people hide their age to carry on with such acts.

Age is only a number. Unless it's required for sth important, like medicals or legally, u reserve d right not to disclose yr age. Though I agree with d op that u shouldn't lie about it anyway.
In my case I don't lie abt my age but I choose when n to whom I wish to reveal it. If a person asks for my age, I assess why he/she wants to know n that shapes my answer.....A person's age is not a prerequisite for being my friend.
I am as old as i feel.
My humble submission

I had samiliar experience with a girl who was my gf.
All she wanted to know then was my age, i was very surprised why she just concerned bout knowing. I discussd this issue with a friend all he told was i should be plain to her that its a norm psyche among ladies. She came to my crib,suddenly that question arose again in d event of telling her my age i paused then ask of her age she was plain nd trutful to my surprise she was 9yrs older. I couldnt utter a word.
Naturally we loved each other.
She's just sweet nd trendy then.
9 years! that's child abuse bro. grin

Guys don't really hide their age, it is a female trend.

Imagine say babe d clock 33, she never marry, no fiancee, do u expect her 2 open hr mouth say she b 33.

Nigerians and their Nosyness. They always wanna use your age against you. Its a terrible culture we've got. We never have anything positive to say about the next person. We can use age to bring down the next person to make ourselves feel better. Thats hypocrisy and inferiority complex. I dnt blame people for hiding their ages. Even from the people ruling us down to the common man, they forge ages. Its a culture and its pathetic. I wish our mentality wasnt this horrible. We are tooooo age specific in everything.

Probably because of guys like this, and a society that is age discriminate.

Bsc:
Bck in school ma G.f and I always had dis issue of age . She wanted to knw ma age without disclosing hers, was scared to mention ma real age cuz she might be ma senior and didn't wanted to lie abt it. Oneday she came to visit me, and she wanted to pee , so I opened her bag and saw her school data. Lol and behold she was 5yr older than me. Up till now my girl frnd can't tell why I kicked her out of ma life despite her much care and love..lol

I think it's not totally because of underachievement, relationships, prestige and the like. The most of it all boils down to African culture. In Yoruba-land, every adult is given a significant level of respect by every other adult (except their parents and older siblings). It doesn't necessarily matter if the adult is younger or older. Moreover, asking an adult for their age (from the Yoruba perspective) appears contemptous and wouldn't normally surface under a peaceful atmosphere.
The issue of age inquisition before marriage does not usually come up as the parents of the intending couple (key orchestrators) go on their own research. Information has its way of going around in their little communities those days so no need trying to hide anything.
African culture definitely has the greatest contribution to this.

Na so we see am. The nigerian mentality has not made us proud of our ages. A lot of things have to change but i guess its too late for that.
